Like the Apple iPhone Dock for iPhone 5s?
It has an untreated Lighting plug. You just plug your own into the back of the dock.

They have a silver version down the page too. You can also find these on eBay. This is the one I settled on: cable pass-through, not obstructing the touch id home button, elevate the phone higher from the desk a bit.

I use a Vapor Dock, although it does not hold the phone landscape, but work well with lightning cable and can accommodate carious bumper cases.

Nope, it doesnt even play nice with just a skin. Case is definitely out of the question.

Nobody's mentioned the HiRise? I think this is one of the most attractive iphone stands to date. I plan on getting one next time i'm near an Apple store
HiRise is nice but the OP is just looking for something to hold up his phone while it charges, in both landscape and portrait. Doesn't sound like it has to be a port dock.
Oh hey! I was checking this one out the other day. So can you actually charge it in landscape too? Or does it just act as a stand in that instance?

The stand just has a slot through which you feed the cable when in upright mode. In landscape I just attach the cable from the exposed side.
I think it got some rocky reviews when it was released with a very high cost. Nowadays the price has dropped a lot. It's not really innovative but it's a pretty design.
New Kickstart Gumstick is an option
Hey there this might be worth a look its kinda cool and you can bend it into any shape you like ... cant get it till it funds but its looking good ..

A good minimal choice with the Apple lightning connector also integrated is the OCDock. No need to use your own cable, already has lightning in it.
If you don't have an iMac or Thunderbolt display set up then you can just use it on the edge of your desk or some other table accessory, it has a special paper thin flat cable.
The official case sits beautifully.

So I don't need an iMac to use this?
I have just backed this project, it looks super cool! It's good to see the guys at Breffo bringing out something new after the awesome Spiderpodium! (http://usa.breffo.com/pages/spiderpodium)
I have the apple leather case and want a compatible dock.
I was about to pull the trigger on the new belkin express adjustable dock, but someone's nice amazon review has made me think otherwise.
I thought the concept was the lightning connector would adjust up/down to fit a case.
Upon reading a review, it sounds like the connector and shoulder (about the width of the old 30 pin) moves. So if the lightning connector doesn't move independently, then this dock would have the same issue as the 30-pin adapter.
Worthless!
Still trying to find the perfect case that fits the official leather.
