It's random non-food related review time again and I am reviewing this Universal Charging Cradle which was kindly sent to me by www.mobilefun.co.uk.
I have been after a charging cradle for a while to go on my desk. I had previously just been using a cable which is fine but I really wanted a little stand for my phone so I can see what is going on whilst I'm working without having to pick it up. I just think that a cradle looks a lot tidier than a cable and I am quite particular about everything being organised on my desk.
In the box you get cradle and of course a USB cable to connect it to the PC or Mac. The design is really modern looking and I like the fact that it is black, I mean seriously what is the obsession with white accessories at the moment? Black looks so much better!
My Galaxy Note 2 fits perfectly onto the stand which uses pass-through technology so that you can connect to your PC or Mac through the port in the back. You can charge and sync your phone using this cradle. Another plus point for me is that you can still charge you phone whilst using the official Samsung Flip Cover which I am not sure if you can tell from my photo, but I was easily able to just tuck it behind my phone. It really annoys me when you buy a cradle which isn't designed to accommodate a case, most people I know seem to use them!
Verdict I think that this Universal Charging Cradle looks really good on my desk and most of all it looks tidy! It is priced at £15.95 which I think is pretty reasonable and it seems to be compatible with most of the latest Samsung phones so perhaps if you are looking for a Galaxy S3 charger or one for even the slightly bigger Galaxy Note 8 then this Universal Cradle is definitely worth checking out
