Would this work? From the look of the USB point looks like it but ...?
Also am I right in thinking that Polaris belong to the P36xx family or is there no such thing with HTC?

The only way to know for sure is for someone with a TC and one of these to try it. The problem with my old HTC 3300 cradle was not having enough space behind the USB plug to accomodate the TC but since the 3600 is thicker than the TC I suspect that wouldn't be a problem with this cradle. I do worry a bit about space in front of the device however. If you look at the TC from below then the USB socket on the device is on the back one third of the thickness, i.e. much closer to the back than the front so the cradle needs to accomodate most of the TC's thickness in the space in front of the USB plug and, from that picture, that clearance looks fairly tight.
It's a nice looking cradle though, I'd love to know if this would fit myself.
- Julian
Thanks for the feed back Julian. You do have a point about the position of the USB socket and unless someone has tried them I think it's worth a trip down TCR to see if it fits if any of the shops have got it.
I do like it also with comparison to what I've seen thus far.

D'oh! I've got so used to buying on the internet that, despite having bought my Touch Cruise on TCR, it didn't even occur to me to go there to try out cradles. Despite being on the tube network, I don't go into the centre of town that often but if something crops up in the next few weeks and I find myself with time and in the area then I'll see what I can find.
It doesn't look as nice as the one you (Abbsta) found but this one is also a possibility (http://www.devicewire.co.uk/P3600-USB-Desktop-Cradle):
It's for a 3600 so, as previously discussed, the clearance behind the plug might be less of a problem. It is also open-fronted so presumably there is no chance of an issue with clearance in front of the device. And finally I deliberately looked on devicewire because a guy called Danny working for Devicewire has popped up here in the last week or so and seems to be pretty helpful so maybe a PM to him when these come into stock (the current status is "Stock arriving soon") might persuade him to try one out with a TC for us.
- Julian
Yes I've seen that one and you're right the first one is nicer. It just a matter of waiting few weeks before we start seeing more options.

To me it looks like the USB is reversed to what the TC has. On mine, the "wider" side of the USB connector is towards the back of the device. The picture of this cradle looks like it's towards the front.

FYI, for what it's worth, the cradle that I had for me old 8125 works..but is not ideal as it doesn't provide the necessary support for the shape of the TC, and the USB is in the center of the cradle...

Ouch! I think you're right. Do Orange (UK) still sell the 3600? I might pop into an Orange store later today and just have a look at orientation of the connector on the bottom of the device if they have one on display.
Luckily I also agree with Abbsta's last comment "It just a matter of waiting few weeks before we start seeing more options.".

Well spotted Dave.
I can confirm that a cradle made for the P3300 works. I got it half off at the local store and it fits great. Then I guess others like it made for the P3300 would fit as well...

Be really careful. My 3300 cradle most definitely does not fit my TC. The fact is that some 3300 cradles will fit the TC, some won't.
If anyone is considering buying a cradle advertised as compatible with the 3300 but not advertised as compatible with the TC then personally I would strongly suggest that you either do what jrrasch did and physically try one out at a local store or else wait for official TC-compatible cradles. Ordering a 3300 cradle sight-unseen from the internet may or may not get you something compatible with your TC.

You guys in Europe will probably get them before we do in the US. I've contacted a couple of suppliers and they are not going to release anything for the TC until it's widely available in the US, which might take a while. I'm hoping that Mobile Planet will start carrying a cradle soon.
As for a case, I found one for the Moto Q at Best Buy that actually fits the TC pretty well. It's a bit on the loose side, but still protects the TC. I kinda like that it's not too tight since it makes it a bit easier to get the phone out when I need to.
Dave
Re delays in stuff coming out, I suppose it's understandable. These things are just such low-cost items that I suspect HTC don't have any program to get pre-production units out to someone making a $20 cradle so all these third-party cradle manufacturers probably had to wait for units to hit the streets, just like the rest of us, before being able to validate their designs. Maybe companies like Brando with a pretty widely recognised brand might have got some jump on the market, at least for screen protectors, but I doubt many other third-party accessory suppliers did.

Ah. Well spotted. Someone already posted a link in another thread to what looks exactly like this cradle but the link was from the manufacturer or wholesaler trying to get bulk orders from retailers so didn't have pricing and wasn't orderable by the general public. You've obviously found a retailer who has bulk-ordered these for sale to the general public.

It all depends on the price the different companies are able to buy the parts in for.
Straight off, the fact that this 'netimes' lot seem to be US-based will drastically affect such factors.
Not to mention, eXpansys are a reliable, known company whereas I've never heard of his over lot - you've got more protection buying though eBay than with them.
the car chargers certainly are different models, the expansys one is htc original, has the correct code and is the right price (ive bought one, expansys and htc are same price as are other stores that supply the htc made one)
the nettimes charger has a different code and is listed as "non-oem". i suspect you will not get the charger that is pictured

Yes I see what your saying and I usually buy from Expansys, but I have also bought of etimes for accessories and there service and business has been just as good as any and with the savings you make you can afford so much more or just save the money. I always look around for the best prices but that site is quite amazing.
I have just read my post and it looks like I am trying to sell the site but I have nothing to do with them, I was just a wee bit shocked.

just ordered the same one
seeing as the price from htc is so much higher than these reported "non oem" ones that look the same and have the same codes
i can only guess these are chinese fakes. as i cannot reconcile why htc would sell them retail at £15.99 yet supply them to resellers at such a low wholesale price that the reseller can afford to sell then at £3.11 (the $4.39 quoted)
i for one am not prepared to risk £500 worth of kit with a potentially forged charger
im even tempted to buy one of these very cheap ones and compare to my genuine (as i bought it from the HTC store) charger, side by side should be able to see differences
edit again!
little point in comparing pictures you get from webstores, as the non oem webstore could just copy the picture from an official suppliers website
ppps edit!
this domain is registered through a domain by proxy registrant, through godaddy in the US. all the registrant details are "protected" and therefore cannot be traced. the contact pages contain a webform only, there is no physical address to be found anywhere nor any telephone contact details. i see at the bottom of the page it has a link for hong kong post..... ?points to being a chinese website to me which to me always suggests fakes
also of possible note, traceroute dies at washington, that might suggest its in the US, but then again
i dont trust it to be genuine equipment
When I receive mine , I will make detailed pictures to compare it side by side with the original one. Hope this will help.

I bought the car charger from netimes. Looks real.........but it only puts out 500mA max which means it doesn't give enough juice to actually run GPS AND charge properly at the same time. I noticed that I seemed to have gotten the last one (about 3 weeks ago).
Hi,
Does anyone know where to get those thin leather pouchs for Diamond2? The ones that you only have to slip the phone inside ...

Hi,
I've got one of the slip pouches (FOR SALE) just like the one in the picture except it doesn't have the HTC logo. I ordered it from China and got fed up waiting so bought a different one. If interested drop me a PM.
Cheers
Jon
I just recieved one of the ones in your top photo for my diamond 2 today from a guy in china on ebay, it took about a week to arrive but was a bargain at under £6 delivered.
more can be found here (igonore the ones for the Touch HD):
http://phones.shop.ebay.co.uk/items...8028QQ_ssnZtmiplusQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em282
the case is HTC branded and fits perfectly (no supprise)
I'll take some photos of it this evening.
Hi,
Thanks for your replies
Browsing ebay I've found two alternatives:
The one you pointed out:
Link
Which has some kind of strap to hold the device inside. Dunno how this works though, could you care to provide a brief explanation besides the pics?
Or another one:
Link
Which also states that is HTC original but seems a bit more robust, and the overall built quality seems better, but doesn't have anything to keep the device inside the pouch.
I will order one of these two, just have to decide which one lol
from just looking at those 2 photos i believe they're exactly the same case.
the strap you mention is only on one end and prevents the phone sliding right the way out when you slide it in. the strap material reminds me of a seatbelt but is much thinner. it is also shown on the 2nd photo above, its the lighter grey coloured bit in the end of the case shown. the inner lining of mine is soft felt which i believe is the same as the inner materia shown in the last photo above.
hope this helps!

Hi,
I order one today, it's the same as your 1st photo, and yes it has the HTC word on it.
See this link---> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....57733&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1
i've upped some photos of the case and torres.sis and I have bought... photo 16 onwards in this set.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/sets/72157621095550158/
Ahhh finally I realized that the pouch is open on both sides
My first thought was that it was open on only one side and with the strap on the other one. Thats why I didn't get how the strap was supposed to work.
Thanks GavinAshford for the pics. I will order one of these for my TD2. £5.47 is quite a bargain from my pov
Yep, that's the point of the strap indeed. You can slide your phone inside from either end of the pouch.
I had it inside my phone original box and it's really usefull, doesn't make a big bulge in your pocket (as most of the pouch do), protects perfectly the phone and is very light.

Leather slip
I have one of these pouches and must say that it is quite good for the money. The strap is looped around the inside (assuming that mine is the same as the ones pictured) and allows the phone to be pulled out using the strap, and as you slide the phone back in the strap is pulled tight and secures the phone in place.
For £6 it seems like a bargain.
not sure for europe side but in Singapore, the pouch is part of the sales package.
got it with the sales package...
its really slim and comfortable to carry the device in pocket.
Europe version, as far as I know, does not include this pouch in the sales package
mine arrived at 5 min ago, quick service with quality product from the tmiplus ebay seller.

I've order it July 9 at the afternoon (in Portugal), and it arrived July 15 in the morning.
For me it was very fast, considering that I'm on the other side of the planet. lol
6 normal days or better 4 business days....
Was sent via Air Mail.
I also order this two products from diferent sellers today:
Car Holder: Ebay Link
Car Charger (HTC Original): Ebay Link
Thanks for the reply. I'm from Portugal as well .
Ordered mine on July 12 so i guess I will have to wait a bit more.
I also ordered a car holder but it's for the vent not for the windshield.

I've asked HTC via e-mail and they told me that for now there are not any official pouch like this for Diamond 2
Anker also make cradles? find one on ebay, anyone ever tryed this?
oops, no permit to post outside links, see my attachments.
yeah, somebody know where to buy?
Picked one of these up for $14 on Amazon when I purchased 2 Anker 1900mah sensation batteries for my 3D. Works great, can't use a case with this though.
Bonus for me is that it can charge another battery while your phone is docked. I will note I have found using the original HTC cable and HTC usb wall adapter with this works the best. I purchased a 10' cable for my phone, and using that with the Anker cradle didn't really do anything, but the original cable and adapter that come with the phone works flawlessly.

Please do - I'm now very curious since the price has dropped to a reasonable level.
I'm specifically interested in whether dock mode is automatically enabled, and what apps can be run from that configuration.
Also - I doubt it, but I'm curious if an MHL adapter can be connected to the dock to enable HDMI out.

I run MIUI so the dock program isn't installed, however I just tap the clock and it brings it to the picture you can see above. I believe if you're on a Sense ROM it will fire up dock mode. I actually had it plugged into my car, and started up Car Panel which was pretty gangster.
Overall, it's definitely nice to have while I'm at work during the week, but having to pop a case on and off all the time can be a hassle for some.
Otherwise it works great!

This is USB only I'm afraid. Since this is similar to Kidigi dock, Kidigi makes an MHL version of their dock but will run you about $49. You can find them on ebay. Hopefully Anker will rebrand one too for cheaper.

I go back and forth between a Platinum case, these cheap snap on cases from eBay, and some Argyle patterned gel sleeve I got at Radioshack, and none of them work. This dock was meant for a caseless phone. I can't remember what dock I was looking at but there is one that has a removable tray that you can take out to accommodate a phone with a case.

Thank you for the input. I guess I'll just pass on this for now.
Kidigi makes a dock that can be used with some cases.
Just received my 2 Anker docks and they are great for the price. Each kit includes a dock, a wall charger, and 2 USB connectors (one long for power, one not quite as long for computer connection).
Construction is solid and phone fits well. The extra battery charging slot is a little tight, but I'd take that over loose.
Phone does not auto-recognize that it's in a dock, but I didn't expect it to.
All in all, I think well worth the price (~$45 for both and free shipping).

The ngroove snap will work as its a metalish sticket you either put on your phone or inside the case or battery cover. Though, it will kill Qi. I returned mine on my last device due to this. Never tested NFC as I never use it. If you dont care about Qi and possibly NFC, then its a great buy. There is also http://www.kenu.com/products/airframe-plus that just came out. I will be ordering this in the near future.
Hmm my parents will be using QI so that is a no go..
Does the Tmobile version come with QI preinstalled?
Also my dad doesn't want a vent one most likely, he likes the window shield car mount or what ever you would call that.

No accessories these days are made for specific phones. No company will limit themselves to a specific model when they can cater to everyone with a universal model. It will work with iPhones, Androids and tablets. Don't judge by the images they post.

They have more other than the snap version. If you want magnetic and sleek, thats the snap version. They have the grip which clamps the phone and does not use magnets

I have this one and works great with the g3, even with a case on it. I love n Fla and it has not moved from my dash since putting it on, the auction cup is top notch!

The Air Dock is the best right now. Magnetic mounts are great - very easy to quickly place and pick up your phone, and it has qi charging. It's expensive though.
I´ll try my "old" one witch I have used with the mi2, very strong magnetic connection, but I have to wait to get a back cover to fix the metal plate (the original back cover is too tight)

I saw the video and I like that it attaches to the dash. But I have a few concerns..
1. The suction cup is sticky...does it get linty from dust and stuff?
2. Any marks on dash (if you have it on there) due to the sun and the suction on there? Like a discoloration?

I have the InfiniApps Magnetic stand and it works great. I'd be keeping it if I didn't want qi charging.
This is the one I used since Nexus. Still the best one on market.

I put the mount on my dash and have yet to take it off. I don't know if there is lint and if there is any discoloration. What I do know is the the mount is as sturdy as you can get. I had an oem Samsung mount that I would stick on the window, it is so hot down here in Florida that just about everyday, it would fall off and I would need to stick it to windshield again and again. This dock has yet to lose suction. Every other dock I have used would never stick to my dash without a 3m sticky plate that then the dock would sit on. Hth

I just took mine off after having it on for 2 years in Virginia - so it had to deal with a lot of flex in temperatures and a ton of humidity, etc. There was a ring imprint on the dash (it's leather wrapped) for a few days but then it disappeared. I have no discoloration, but that is not mount dependent - the material of your dash is what matters as a lot of plastic ones will fade over time, and the part hidden from the sun won't. You also can simply rinse the suction cup in the faucet and then mount it somewhere else - just make sure to clean the dust off of the dash very well first.
I ordered the air dock because there is nothing else that is as fast and convenient as the InfinniApps magnet mounting dock with Qi charging. I tried opening up one of those circle Powerbots and adding magnets as a DIY but the entire thing was a coil - no wonder why it was impossible to not place the phone right - and there was no place to put the magnets where they'd work without stopping the charging.

I don't suppose you have seen anyone using this with a G3 and the NFC/Qi sticker yet? I would be worried that the back is too textured to work on its own, and the sticker not fitting over both antennae. If it does work, I will put it on my short list; I am going to wait and see how much the Tylt Vu Car Charger ends up being before I commit to anything else since I have had such good luck with my desktop charger from them.

I'll let you know when mine comes in. But I'm using my InfinniApps mount right now and taped the metal plate over the qi/nfc sticker on the back cover and it sticks fine, and still charges on my Powerbot.
Has anyone come across a good Nexus 6 Desk Dock yet? I am a developer and like connecting my phone to my computer on a dock when I program so I can send an app to the device without the cables getting in the way or touching the phone. I had one for my Note II and while it looked crappy, it got the job done. I don't need anything fancy, Universal works, too as long as the phone is in portrait mode and the cable can be reversed.
I came across this:

I think I'd like to get something a little more secure, but this would probably work well for me anyways.
Sorry... *Not Qi... Long day. Tired and mixed up the wireless techs in my typing...

Connector isn't facing the right way. Its not going to work with Nexus or HTX One. Thanks though.. That's on the right track!
I JUST ordered one on amazon. It's supposed to be really good and the looks are exactly what I was searching for. It's called Bracketron Nanotek Stand. Mine's the aluminum silver version. Weird how we are both thinking the same thing even though I have never really thought of getting one for any device before.
I found what I'm looking for... but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I guess the technical term is cradle.
http://www.kidigi.com/products_lv2.php?pid=1566
Since it was posted on their site January 6th, I guess it hasn't made it out to retailers yet. The sell a universal one for the M8 that would work with our phones, but I'd rather get something that supports the device on the sides as well.
This dock is perfect! Has anyone been able to get it yet?

If you don't mind waiting, the same thing can be had for half the price on ebay. FYI I am using one as an iPad stand and it's working very well. Good thing is it works with or without case, bad thing is obviously you need to plug the cable in manually every time.

The only US distributer is Naked Cell Phone (basically an eBay store but they do have a website). I contacted them 3 weeks ago and they said 10 days they should be receiving them.... So that's 11 late now ?. I keep checking their eBay store daily to see if they get them in.
Sorry if I am dreaming
I need a dock or stand that can handle a thick case.
Size of Nexus 6 is 6.27" x 3.27" x 0.4" (159 x 83 x 10.1 mm), so it should handle 0.4" or greater.

I ended up getting that one. After bending to make room for a USB cable on the bottom and still allowing it to stay upright and not fall backwards, I still only kinda like it. It works if I don't have to touch the phone. If I have a button on the top half, it falls backwards.
Thanks. Do you remember where you ordered it from?

I got it from Amazon. Ended up buying the RND dock that recently came out on EBay. Gets here on Saturday.
I found this desk dock that looks like it would do the trick and it's cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Micro-USB-Desktop-Charge-Windows/dp/B00RWFVS1Q/
I don't have my Nexus 6 yet, but can someone tell me if or how this works with Daydream? According to this: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2818748?hl=en 'By default, your device may only Daydream when it is docked. If you want your device to Daydream whenever it is plugged in, make sure to set "When to Daydream" as "Either" or "While charging."'
Are the docks wired for the phone to know if is docked like the Galaxy Notes I have had, or is there another way? Are there special docks that enable dock mode for the Nexus 6? If so, I haven't been able to find any yet.
I bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMOBI4-2I...t=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item43d6b7daf6..
It's properly made for the Nexus 6 and fits perfectly. You may not want the landscape orientation but it works well for me.
This is the one I'm using: http://fuzdesigns.com/pages/EverDock
Not keen on universal docks
I have to say that I am not a fan of universal docks like the Ever Dock. The bottom of the N6 is rounded and the lack of support at the sides means it can wobble while plugged in.
Sooner or later this is going to damage the USB port.

They have a thicker rubber part you can buy. That plus the case on the phone means the phone rests evenly on the dock.
That makes sense. I hate cases so I keep forgetting that a lot of people use them.
Has anybody found one that activates dock mode for Daydream?
