hey guys I am looking for a dock to use when I am at home .And because I can't use the kickstand anymore and the kickstand case can't be used when charging looks like a dock is the way to go(might be some conspiracy theory on making people buy docks lol).
Anyway is the one at best buy the only one? Any reviews? Thanks!

The updated version of the kickstand case does indeed allow charging and kickstand use.
Ok I will check it out. I'm still interested in docks though

I'm interested in this as well. I loved charging my Droid on its dock at night. Would love to get one for the EVO 3d.
Meant to look for one when I got it at sprint but was too distracted.
How much was the one at bestbuy?

I believe that the home dock is an expense solution compared to the stock EVO 4G one. I don't believe that it comes power cable, and definately doesn't come with HDMI (MHL compatible). So for $50 you get a EVO 3D holder. Might wait until 3rd party comes up with something better than OEM.
Also side note: Funny that Sprint is selling 3rd party iGrip car docks for $40 and BestBuy has the HTC OEM one for $60. Actually think that the HTC one is a little nicer and possibly worth the extra $20. I had the OEM one for my EVO 4G and found it very useful on long trips to keep my phone ready for GPS or as a MP3 player.
Thanks guys, I will look around.

Desk/Car Docks with Audio Out?
Does anyone know if there is or will be a car or desk dock with 3.5 mm audio out? I don't know if the EVO 3D even supports audio out from the USB port, but considering that there is HDMI out, I'd say its quite possible.
I've been looking at car docks online. I've found a couple that had micro-USB for charging, but not audio out.
i cant believe there sold out everywhere!!!!!!!

Ok so yeah real easy question i guess we might not know for another 2 weeks but like i already ordered most of my accessories ahead of time Im down to the Car dock.
I currently have the OGEvo and use the htc car dock every day. Literally, If the phone is not in my hand it is in the dock.
I understand they have the same general size but I am wondering if the E4GLE is the same shape and if it fits in the HOX Car Dock?
***Update
So Engadget updated its review of E4GLE and they said "shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter." Soooo...
That means that the E4GLE should fit nicely into the HOX car dock. Even better with full body skin it should still fit without problem. Which was an issue with my OGEvo dock, cause the official dock would rub off the top part of body skin.

Don't know if I would risk it. I love my OG htc evo dock, but with the charging port on the side, its gonna be a little different setup, maybe more like moto docks. I am just gonna wait for the official dock.
I would keep an eye:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7878.htm
there, That is the Car Dock that I have for my HTC Evo 4G. Works great. They made one for the EVO 3D as well that had the side charge port. So I don't see why they won't have a new one for the LTE.
Will
I have also pre-ordered the E4GLE, yet I almost didn't because I have been unable to get information from Sprint or HTC on the dock. I do not the the dimensions of the One X are almost identical, a millimeter off on the width. So it may fit but it's still a gamble.
I use the car dock on my Nexus One every day. My phone is my nav and I can't really justify not having an OEM made car dock. If nothing is announced by launch day I may have to return the E4GLE and get the One X, even though I'd rather have the E4GLE.
Update!
B-)
shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter.
I dunno about the official dock, but i've bought vehicle specific mounting plates from proclip and then combined it with a slipgrip car mount from ebay with great results, just had to run wires for a 3.5mm/microusb connection for power and music. The slipgrip guy makes docks for certain cases too so i think im going to email him about that.

I swear by ProClips. It will take a while for ProClips to make a car dock until they get one in their hands. And when they do. I just need the phone dock part and not the car dock part.

I'm with ya, it took so long for them to make one for the OG evo that i looked to the slipgrip guy who actually made it for both the seidio innocase as well as the HC ballistic case. He epoxies the holder to whatever interface (suction cup, bike mount, vent mount) but i just asked him in the order to ship the two separate. I then did some modifications to the holder so it would screw in to the pivot joint that comes with the proclip holders, turned out pretty well. If history repeats with seidio's timeline, then i'll just have to do the same for this phone.
Does the LTE Evo not have pegs like the Nexus?
Plugging and unplugging both my OG Evo 4G and Evo 3D from the car dock (both are OEM, every other one I tried was even worse) scratches the living hell out of the power jacks. It's irritating as hell that they don't do audio through the dock as well. I guess with that new bluetooth 4.0 dongle, I won't have to worry about that.
I have the dock for the EVO 3D from Seidio and it also scratches around the charge port. Not much I can do about it:-(

the dock is made by ibolt. I just put mien in this morning. very good feel. they give you some foam pads to level the phone is using with a case with the insert removed. that part was a little cheesy, but actually worked well. pretty happy with it.
so did the OP ever try out the car dock for the one x?
i just ordered one from slipgripcarmounts. they are custom molded so you can leave your case on. does anyone know if there any good? Ill post a review if anyone wants..

Never seen those. I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
I was wondering if anyone has seen a charging dock for the EVO 4g LTE. It seems the EVO is missing the contacts that the ONE X has on the back so that it can easily be placed in a dock. I know its not a deal breaker but i would really like to be able to just place my phone in a dock without having to fumble for the cable to plug into the side of the phone.
Look for sedio to come out with one....otherwise the kickstand is ur friend...
Oh moved this to the right section BTW.

Except for the fact that the Micro-USB port is on the bottom when using the kickstand. A bit of a design fail there.

It's designed so you can flip the device over and still charge it while using the kickstand. Spring loaded, so it holds it up fine.
Yeah, I was about to say the kickstand is more rigid and firm than the og evo and works from any side.
**** Apple, I won't buy anymore of there products.
I found some for 12-20 on ebay for the one x I imagine it will work w the evo lte. Not certain as I've seen it said exact same size but also where it says diff sizes

I use this. It's a little pricey, but has good sound and works well with android. Has either AUX input or bluetooth for audio. Also should work with pretty much any phone with a microUSB port.
Philips Phone Dock
They also have one that can be powered by batteries, but it sounded horrible.
I might be getting a HTC Amaze soon (and paying ~$150 on top of the hassle of selling it for a One S isn't worth it for me), and I'm considering getting the official desktop dock and car dock while they're still available...but is it worth it? Seems like getting them in-store is about the only place to get them (if the store has it period), as I only see like two eBay listings for just the car dock on the entire web. I get that they're not too extraordinary (desktop dock particularly), but I don't want to be with the Amaze a few months down the line and not being able to find either for a reasonable price.
i have not even seen the desktop dock anywhere i just got my amaze today from tmobile didnt see it in the store. On another note if you want to trade your s for my amaze let me know lol
I have both the car and desk dock personally. I have them in my store available for purchase, but i know not every T-Mobile store receives them
I wonder if someone who has the car dock would be willing to measure the diameter of the suction cup on it? I have a dash friction mount that I would love to attach the arm of the official dock to, but I don't want to buy it if the suction cup is larger than the surface on the friction mount I have.
Yes we have them in, I'm mad we don't get much amaze stuff but dock is cheap for 49.99

This is interesting. I had no clue there was a desktop dock for this phone. I've never seen it in store. I may have to pick it up and do a bit of modding to make a very useful car dock for GPS navigation as the one I have is a bit.....
I'm sitting on an extra OEM desktop dock that someone didn't end up paying for. Willing to sell for 30 including shipping to US or 40 to Canada. Send me a PM if interested.

Received the items yesterday. It's the real deal. OEM Car and Desk dock... still with the T-Mobile price tags attached. The desk dock is listed at $49.99 ALONE!
Since I could never find the car dock, I went with a different solution. I already had the Trident Kraken AMS case so I was able to buy a part from Trident that uses the AMS feature to turn into a car dock. The part is only $15, so if you have a Trident Kraken case, pair it up with a car charger and you are ready to go!
There's no more docks left, oh well

Thanks. I probably won't get one of either, but I wanted people to see where to find them.
- for the car holder, I have not been able to find a charger that will keep up with the battery drain of the Amaze when using data, GPS, and keeping the screen on. I use Google Maps navigation by connecting the BT and turning off the screen. Otherwise this would be a great setup.
- for the desktop, I keep my Amaze in a TPU case. Still I might consider it for home use at night...
Ah, what the heck, I went ahead and bought the car model - what a deal!!

I have TPU cases for my Amaze as well but I bought it not only for the dock but for the "official" HTC charger. I can use it without the dock and it charges fast.
Does anyone know if the HTC EVO 4G LTE (i just like typing all of that) is going to get the PowerMat?
I have it for my HTC EVO 4G, and was about to buy more mats but won't if the new EVO won't have it.
I am assuming they will NOT, because you can't get to the battery..
I was hoping the same thing, I am considering trying to modify my EVO back to fit on the LTEvo, but I won't know til I have a LTEvo in hand

email powermat.
personally I hate that thing and it worked like crap so I returned it. I want real wireless charging like the GS3 is supposed to have.
So because of the the UniBody design I looks like all the antennas are located under the top half removable cover.
Im thinking if i can mod the mother board like the OGEvo and run the cable out and place the coil on the bottom half and just protect it with a body skin like zagg or something.
Then i can use touchstone without it interfering with the NFC or any other of the antennas.
BTW if i could get this to work then i really wouldn't care about it showing thru skin. It would actually boost my Geek ego.
I have visited the future and I can confirm that no, there will be no PowerMat for the E4GL. Unless, of course, my actions change the course of events from this point forward. . . .
so wish another manufacturer would buy the Touchstone patents from HP. best thing ever!
I have a OtterBox commuter, and IM taking my touchstone from my of evo, and a Powermat case for the of evo and using the low profile micro USB plug from the power mat , and putting the touchstone under just the plastic of the OtterBox that way I don't really have to open up the evo LTE (wife really doesn't want me to kill the warranty) it was so nice to have the touchstone from the of evo, I think it would be better if HTC would just buy touchstone, or cone up with something similar, there is really no reason this is not a standard for phones, sorry this is one of my biggest complaints about smart phones, from a hardware stand there its no reason that phones don't have this, maybe a patent thing.

HTC already had one for around$35. I believe you can get it at a sprint store. Theres a couple reviews out there check the accessories sub-forum.

I'm 10000% positive..
My girlfriend has one for her EVO 3d and it's almost identical..
the HTC car dock will look almost identical to the HTC car dock that they have for the One X.
I don't like the iGrip because it's not as versatile as the HTC car dock.. I had the HTC car dock for my "old" EVO 3d and it's WAAAAY better than the iGrip, only down side is that it will probably cost around $60.00

I haven't used it with the EVO LTE, yet, but I loved it with the 4G.
I know it's not a car dock, but I figure some people may not be familiar with it. This + USB charger and some creative wiring = slick, out-of-the-way install.
