Default [Q] Non-Keyboard Dock

I know it might be a little early, but I was wondering whether anyone found a good dock for the TF300. I'd like to use it as an alarm clock, but I'd rather not have it just sit there with the keyboard dock as that'd look a tad weird besides the bed

A basic charger with some sort of support to keep the tablet standing would be sufficient, but it'd be even better if the dock could somehow identify itself so that the tablet could launch an alarm clock app or something along those lines. Speakers would be neat but unnecessary.

I've tried finding a dock for my Nexus S but never managed to grab a good one, so I'm not sure I'll ever find one for the TF300 either, but I'll keep looking.

Sign A great dock

Peace.
I use the Asus ConnectDock with my TF300. I am really satisfied with this product as media streaming via LAN is way faster than via WLAN. The downside is the loud electric humming that is to be heard when playing back audio on a external speaker/HIFI. I think this issue is related to the high pitched noise on the video recordings and is called a ground loop. The USB ports are powerd so you can use your external harddrive. The dock feels quite sturdy and I also use it to place my Tablet next to my bed as a alarm clock.
Best regards
Kalle.
