I've paid the Apple tax on the iPhone dock 3 times, and I am not doing it again! Does anyone know of a good imitation dock that will work for the iPhone 4. I'm looking for as close to the original as possible. I'd like to pay around $10-$15 for it.
Thanks for any help, and I would appreciate you not calling me a cheap skate. It's more a matter of principle for not paying $30 for molded hard plastic.
 
Buy an old universal dock off eBay. I bought the version that has s-video out & remote capability for < $15. My iP4 is sitting in it right now.
 
my 2g docks work great, no adapter needed. i had two laying around that i didn't use since the 3g didn't fit. glad i didn't throw them out...i saved $60 and have charging stations at home and work
 
Let me take back my previous post. The one mine is in right now has been modified a bit to fit my iPad. I have 2nd one (of the same model) that hasn't been modified and I just tested and I cant get it to work w/ the iP4 with any of the inserts. It works with NO inserts but is a bit loose...
It would probably require a little modification to get it to work.

An easier solution would be to get the dock that came w/ the original iPhone. No video out or remote capability but it works fine w/ a caseless iP4. Others have confirmed this and I just tested it with mine.
