Review: I enjoy it. Great digital picture frame maker. - For one, I didn't know desertcart was selling these (the official ones). I've been staring at a "sold out" page on the Google Play store for months just to find out I could have it in 2 days with no tax... Anyways, the unit is pretty nice. It comes in a nice Nexus style box and seems relatively well built. It's got a pretty decent bit of heft to it as well so you don't have to worry about it tipping and what not. Also, just to make a point. This uses the pogo pins on the side of the Nexus 7. Just like the Galaxy Nexus these are meant for one purpose...audio media and charging. There is no HDMI, you will not be able to transfer USB data, etc. This is simply a well built glorified charger that lets you see the screen (and if you want, hook to a home stereo I guess...). Personally, I use it to take advantage of the Daydream feature. It has come to replace my ancient iHome alarm clock but I seem to prefer to use it as a digital picture frame (on steroids). You can pick your Picasa album (or local photos) and just have it cycle through them. So lets break it down. You can get a Nexus 7 for sub-$200 now. The dock will probably bring you up to $200. That's on par with the WiFi digital picture frames you can buy here on desertcart. So for maybe like $20 more you get...better resolution, a full tablet, every storage service you might need, and whatever else you can find an App for. The only real downside is you'll need to keep it plugged in. Pros: - Heavy - Rubber gripped bottom. - Nice construction. Matches the whole Nexus design. Cons: - No HDMI. * The USB port on the N7 supports MHL so Google could have done something with it. Would have probably made it a nice addition to home theaters for some. Other: - I see $30 as perfectly reasonable. Remember, this isn't plastic and doesn't require anything plugged in. It uses the pogo pins. - No charger. Could be a bit of a pain if you're using the provided N7 chord (it's kind of short).
Review: Debunking Strange Reviews - This little guy does exactly what it promises. I was a bit worried about it because of some of the strange reviews I read, so I'd like to talk about specific issues. [FIRST: I'm not certain this works with the brand new 2013 Nexus 7. So be sure you check into that if you have a new one.] (1) Stiff pogo connectors: Some people claimed they needed two hands to push down the tablet because the pins were "too strong". This is just crazy. Maybe they are putting it in at a weird angle, but the pogo connectors work and work well. (2) Cost complaints: I bought mine for $30. It does feel like it could be $5 cheaper, but it's a solid build quality. The weight and grips on the bottom make it feel like its worth the price. Anyone who argues this is worth $10 has no idea what they're talking about. (3) Doesn't charge: One reviewer said they actually had less charge the next morning than the night before when they plugged it in. Again, this is just silly. It's essentially like the apple mag-safe power adapters. The pogos charge beautifully. (4) Perfectly balance: Another review said that the tablet had to be perfectly balanced in order to charge. Literally, you just drop it in with one hand as you're walking out of the room. It could not be easier. (5) Spontaneously stopped charging: There was a review by someone who had to keep monitoring it in case it spontaneously (for no reason) stopped charging. I have never had this problem. I plug it in, and it's charged when I return. Negatives? (1) I do wish it came with another power cord. If you do need another one, simply throw a standard micro usb charger in your cart for $5 when you checkout. (2) It would be nice if it had some small front speakers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fixed my charging problems
*by J***K on February 11, 2014*

First off, if you are having trouble charging your nexus 7 with the USB port, this dock will fix your problems. My Nexus 7 USB port is completely useless, and this dock charges my tablet in a few hours. It is WAY overpriced at $40-50, but it is cheaper than a new tablet. It is built well, and it complements the tablet's minimal design. As far as I can tell, all the complaints about this dock are completely unfounded. If you cannot charge your nexus 7 through USB, this pogo dock bypasses the defective port and breathes new life into an otherwise doomed device. I have been having problems charging my nexus 7 through the USB port. It would sometimes not charge. Other times, it would charge unbelievably slowly. It might only gain 20% overnight. I did some research and discovered that this is an extremely common problem. The Micro USB plug can bend and mess up the port inside the tablet. After determining that the cord was not the problem, I was forced to find another way to charge this device. This seemed like the best option so that I could still use this tablet. My nexus 7 has been having trouble a lot with slow charging. Recently, my dog knocked my tablet off my nightstand, causing the Micro USB to become loose. The USB can sometimes make contact, but a disapproving glance is enough to disconnect it. I managed to charge it to 20% (over the course of a day) so it wouldn't wreck the battery before this dock arrived. When it did get here, I immediately set the tablet on it, and it began charging! When I turned the tablet on however, it did not say it was charging. I left it on and docked, and I can confirm that the battery percentage does increase. In about half an hour, it went from 19% to 41%. I haven't seen this device charge that quickly in months! I was concerned that it didn't say it was charging though. I found out that the dock requires at least android 4.2 to be officially recognized. This may be the problem people are having thinking that it isn't charging. As for those who say the pins are too stiff, I just can't imagine this being the case. All they have to do is make contact, so even if they were too stiff, they would still make contact. I can only assume that they received a different dock from the one I received. The dock I have doesn't require any effort. You just set the tablet down and it begins charging. It requires no pressure to make contact or anything. It just gently rests on the dock and charges. If your dock requires pressure to get the device to make contact, maybe you should try the following: 1.) Turn off your Nexus 7 2.) Make sure the dock is plugged in. 3.) Set the powered off nexus 7 on the dock. If it comes up with the charging indicator, it is connected. While my tablet is turned on in android 4.1, there is no indication that it is plugged in other than the increasing battery percentage. The 4.2 update is required to enable all the fancy docking features. Overall, this device is worth $40-50 to me because it allows me to use my nexus 7. It is well built and stable. It is impossibly easy to charge your device. You just set it in the dock and it charges. It also might be a wise preventative step to avoid breaking the flimsy USB plug. This is apparently a common problem with this tablet, which leads me to believe that Asus is gouging nexus 7 owners on this dock because it is necessary to use the tablet. Overall, I am just happy I can use my previously doomed tablet once more. If anything goes awry, I will update my review. So far though, it is an expensive but necessary accessory. I don't ever remember the USB port charging my device this quickly. Also note that all you get is the dock. You will have to use the wall adapter and cord that came with your nexus 7, or a compatible one. UPDATE: It's 4/8/2014 and the current price is $70! This is absolutely outrageous, and there is no justification for this price other than scarcity. If Asus would have put a sufficiently strong USB port in the Nexus, there would be no need. At this price, you are getting ripped off beyond belief! It originally sold for about $30-40! I got mine for $50... and that's only because it was the only way to use my tablet. At $70, I am rather offended. I hope nobody pays that price. If they do, I may just put mine on amazon to be sold off... It is currently obscenely overpriced. It probably would cost Asus less than $5 to make this... it's just some wires and a heavy base... nothing fancy at all.
