I have received so much from this forum that I decided to give my pinch of salt. Is not much, but I think it will be good to others like me.
I was looking for a case for my brand new 8125. It have to be light, compact, without a belt clip and give some protection to scratches and minor bumps. It will be used to protect the 8125 inside my jean's front pockets. I found that the silicon skin was the closest to my needs, so I got one from Ebay.
When I installed it I knew that it was perfect for me , but no access to the keyboard really started to bother me after 5 minutes. So, I took it to my work table and made a cut along the left side of the skin case and two small cuts down the edges of the case. That created a flap that allowed me slide the keyboard without taking the 8125 out of the case.
The mod took me 2 minutes to do, but 30 minutes to take the corage to cut my new case. Now my case is perfect. After 2 weeks of usage the only problem that I have is that the vol control is harder to use because the flap some times gets on the way. Not that big problem anyway.
Here are some pics. Hope that this help someone.

Here is the case with the keyboard open.
One from the back
I don't know what that thing is, but an HTC Wizard it is not
i believe its a great idea....I like my boxwave skins for my treos.
Oh and I believe he said its an 8125 several times!

@Equilon
It's a Cingular 8125, but I think it will work on any silicon skin case for the Wizard.

which one is it on boxwave.com
I want to get a silicone case from boxwave.com for the T-Mobile MDA, but not sure which one it is on the site. Does anyone know which one it is?
T-Mobile MDA Compact?
T-Mobile MDA II?
T-Mobile MDA III?
T-Mobile MDA IV?
T-Mobile MDA Pro?

there is no silison case for the WIZA200, they just have one for the WIZA100 (Cingular) version...
Will this cingular case be good for my T-Mobile MDA?
Hello all,
I have ordered my "O2 Orbit 2" already - to replace my well used and loved Orbit (1). From the press pictures it seems that the Orbit 2 is extremely similar dimensions to the original.
Does anyone know if old Orbit cradles will fit the new Orbit 2?
Cheers!
Where did u order urs from? O2?

"Seems" pretty equal, but Docking does not fit perfectly.
I ordered one of these cheap Orbit (1) stations in ebay
and I had some problems to get the USB frickled in the right way
to fit in den port of the Orbit2. Anyway, it charges and it syncs.
But it's actually not equal to Orbit 1 fit.
See pictures here: PPC-Welt
Thanks Olioaglio - that's exactly what I needed to know. At least it fits, albeit with a bit of a wiggle by the look of it.
Underzone - I may have mislead slightly. I've ordered one, however it is through my companies mobile service provider, and not O2 direct. They told be on Monday to expect further delays - so its the same wait going through them as it is through O2.
Cheers!
I have wanted a StarTrek for a long time but never did buy one, I ended up with a Tilt instead. Anyhow, I am tired of carrying the huge tilt everywhere and am again looking to the StarTrek but I am having a hard time finding one. There are a few on eBay but only one new one and used cell phones on eBay scare me. Any Suggestions? Anyone have one they want to get rid of?

I just purchased a brand new one on eBay for $105 after shipping. It took about three weeks of checking the list of auctions daily until one popped up in the search results. I even setup a saved search and it emailed me when one was found. If you're patient and check the listings for awhile you'll get a great deal sometimes.
You could try with different keywords:
Cingular 3125
i-mate Smartflip
Dopod S300
Qtek 8500
HTC StrTrk
...
All phones are almost identical, just with different brandings.
So, give it a try.
Here in Germany, I bought mine in a supermarket for 77 EUR (would be ~120 USD).
I have one for sell with the box, software, manual, charger, headphones, data cable and an extra battery. $175 shipped and insured. It is in really good condition, bu the paint is worn slightly on the corners of the battery cover. I can send pictures to you if you would like.
Email me at [email protected]
I am paypal verified and can ship it in the morning.
Has anyone seen a cradle for the TD2 yet? I've got a Brodit mount in my car with the cradle for the Kaiser, but I'm after a new one now.
Received this from Brodit when I asked about a D2 mount:
"Hi!
For the moment we can’t say any clear date but please check the web within a couple of weeks.
Best Regards"

Just Pre-Ordered Mine
Hi
Just ordered mine from DSL.
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/Holder/HTC+Touch Diamond 2 T5353-Brodit-Holder.asp
Can't wait till it lands.
Looking at the picture on the site, it's not obvious exactly what part of the dashboard it attaches to and how?

Brodit holders come in two parts, a custom bit that holds the phone which is unique for each phone, and the proclip bit designed for your car. Where exactly on the dash it fits depends on which which car you have and which proclip you buy for your car. You're best off calling to find out, although most of them seem to have an option to fit over the central air vents.
Hi,
Any update??
I have preordered from mobilefun but still nothing.
Hi,
Got my cradle today from mobilefun. Just need a reliable navigation software.
Ordered mine from mobilefun yesterday, came this morning, fits great

What one did you get?, and did you get a in car charger with it?
I'm looking for one that attaches to the dash/air ventthat will also support a chrger.
Was looking at the Brodit one, and although they do look quite nice, £50+ for the holder and clip is a little steep in my mind.
I got the passive one, I already have a HTC car charger (with a pretty blue light). I only got the phone part as I already had the vent mount for my car from my previous phone. Thats the benefit really - you only need to change the phone bit. The Brodit mounts are a bit expensive but the quality is excellent and the phone fits really well

Cheers - one last question - I see the tilt and swivel, but to the rotate though 90°, so the phone can be viewed horitontally (i.e. when using it as a Sat Nav)?
Yes the mount is in two parts, the bit that attached to the car and the bit that the phone goes in. The connection between the two is a swivel joint
I've just ordered one HTC Touch Diamond2 / T5353 Car Upgrade Kit - CU S240 from here, better says - preordered.

I have this item ordered from mobilefun.co.uk, they say 2 - 3 days and it'll be in stock, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.
This is the same type of car kit I used for my Diamond 1, and that one worked very well, so I don't mind waiting for this one.
Oh, expansys says they won't have this car kit in stock until June 23rd.. so, I'm prepared to be waiting anything up until then!
still not avaible CU S240...

I have just bought the proclip and passive holder from dsl, then I bought a car charger from ebay, I will post what they are like as soon as they arrive, and if I'm clever enough to fit them in my car.
11/06/09
The cradle arrived today, it turned out that I actually ordered the wrong proclip, I intended to buy the one that bind to the right A/C vent of my (RHD) Corsa, but instead I ordered one that binds onto the bottom left of the dashboard. As it was though, I actually think the ordering error turned out for the better, the postion of the phone was still very readable, easily reachable, and it means that when I plug in the phone charger I won't see a wire dangling all the way across my dashboard, which would be unsightly as well as inconveineant. I would recommend this position of proclip for everyone, I know it seems strange that you need to look down at the phone, but when I took it out for a spin today it worked great.
Unsuprisingly, the cradle itself was fantastic way worth the extra money I paid for, the phone actually slips into position, I was sceptical at first about perfect fits, but the fit really was impeccable.
The fitting process was simple and straightforward (if I can do it anyone can) but requires a bit of brute force, but in my opinion that just came to show how sturdy the kit is. You know it's not going to go anywhere.
hello,
just need some opinions about car holders. first one CU S240 holder for topaz
http://www.handy-heaven.de/shop/images/b178412.jpg and second one is universal htc holder CU G100 http://www.1a-handyshop.de/images/artikel/HTC-CU-G100.jpg
which one prefer you guys? im still hesitating.
I wouldn't go for either. Brodit are the best. There is no fiddling with plugs with that, you just slide it in and it is charging....
Alternatively see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=564493
i bought one like the one in first link with charger for about 10$ on ebay,
the handle (long part) broke immediately, so luckily the plastic that holds the phone itself is disconnectable and fits HR and i had HR handle from my old phone so the combination works but for itself its piece of crap.
too bad HR dont make holder for topaz - simple & rock solid - mine works for 2 years now with several phones.
about the universal ones i tried couple and its never perfect...
Look at brodit. Costly but the best available. The one for Diamond can be sued for Diamond 2
I just purchased this (spendy $59) one from ProClip...
http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-device-holder/htc-touch-diamond-2-(gsm)/charging-holder-with-tilt-swivel-and-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512011-17511.aspx
It's on backorder now, but should be here within a week. I'll let you know how I like it.
[edit: It's by Brodit... didn't realize that.]
I was thinking of going for the CS240 as well, some site have it around £20
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-touch-diamond2-car-upgrade-kit-cu-s240-p18997.htm
Most HTC originals I have bought are great quality.
That said I also spotted these Herbert Richter, any tried them ?
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/2417/herbert-richter-htc-touch-diamond-2-jacket-grip
I like the idea of multiple attachements, for the bike, car, etc...
Anyone bought and tried either of these, the Brodkit ones looks too bulky and over priced (to me).
The CS240 is great quality. It is actually made by Herbert Richter in Germany and the jacket grip of the second link you supplied is part of the CS240 set. So I think the set is the best bargain. It has a very good build quality. Nothing waggles during driving.
There is one drawback. The jacket grip may scratch the shiny surface of the battery cover, but if the TD2 is used without a case its probably scratched anyway.
I bought something that looks like your second link. And let me tell you, that was the cheapest piece of Chinese crap I have ever bought. The sides the open and close to grip the phone were getting jammed, the became loose and phone would fall. In two month it had been broken.
Nomas mis dos centabos.
