3rd party ipad dock

I was looking to get a dock for my iPad but was wondering if anyone was using a 3rd party dock instead of the one sold by Apple?

I checked on ebay and there are loads of them but not sure how good they are. The fact that I would have to remove my iPad from it's case every time I want to dock it is annoying.

 

I use the Apple one, and I use the macally case which is very easy to remove the ipad from when I want to dock it.

 

I might get this - a stand that allows access to the port to attach the cable, but that lets you use it portrait or landscape.
