cheapish dock for an x needed

[Atrus96]

hello all. i just got my x a few days ago and am loving my first droid phone (came from a storm 1). anyways i need a cheap charging dock for my headboard so i can use the phone as an alarm clock easier. i can't justify spending 40-50 bucks for a cradle with hdmi stuff that will never be used. any one know a cheap charging dock for 10-20 bucks? thx in advance

Almost a charging dock $2.32.
May not be quite what you want,but.
Went to office max and bought a metal business card holder. It holds the phone a nice angle. Had to place a pencil in the bottom so that the buttons weren't hidden.
I just plug in my charging cable.
I know "tacky" but cheep and works great better than spending $30.00

There's also one out there where a guy made one out of a CD. Used heat and xacto knife. It's at the bottom of the second link. That one's kinda cool if you ask me.

will the droid dock accodimate the droid x?

Almost positive it wont when you consider the dimensions of the Droid 1 vs Droid X.

It aint pretty but that certainly looks like it does the job. Anybody else have this and can verify its build quality?

Dude that makes these has a youtube video on ot and u get a good look at it.

Looks a lil cheap to me. The microUSB port is so difficult to get into the DX
that I wonder if it will pose an issue w/ these docs.

Built a dock using two "fishnet" business card holders from OfficeMax ($1.99 each; OM96865). Stole two tiny screws from a dead electronics case to hold the pieces together. Took a magnet from an old Blackberry case for the dock "switch." Used wire cutters to open a hole for the USB cable. Took the pics with my X, so son's new Droid played stunt double.
