Can anyone recommend a decent cheap third-party dock for the iPhone 4. eBay is litered with Chinese knock-offs, those their quality comes into question..
 
FYI Apples Dock is made in China! the iPhone it's self is made their too. ;) just made there specs, I usually look at the reviews from people that have bought on ebay.
 
ebay docks suck

the apple ones fit 100% like a glove, but so do most "brand name" ones

the ebay ones have sideways wiggle room which I've heard can damage the 30 pin connector after time
 
The first generation dock fits the iPhone 4. It's not a "perfect" fit but I've used mine for 2 months now and it works great. Got it from a US SELLER on eBay and it was brand new OEM for 8 bucks.

I've been using my 1st gen dock too. It fits well enough that it doesn't wiggle at all. I'm guessing he could get one fairly cheap.
 
Dock iPhone 4 in Bumper Case

I found the LYCO Adapter which lets you dock your iPhone 4 in a bumper case using a universal dock. I have been using the LYCO adapter with my Apple Universal Dock for awhile now and absolutely love it!!
