Thanks for all the great info. I have and love this charger that I thought you might like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004U1Y326/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ipjd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004U1Y326 It solves the phone-on-the-floor problem, collapses for travel (the cradle arms and the plug prongs), and easily accommodates my phone in its case. [Jeff responds: That looks interesting. You still need a cord, which seems less elegant, but perhaps it would work with more cases that way.]
