Is there a car dock that fits the otterbox defender? I got the iGRIP a week prior, and of course it doesn't fit. Only with tpu cases. So does anybody know of a car dock that will fit it? Yes I could probably hack the **** out if the igrip, but thats not what I'm looking for.

your best bet is to go universal dock
Had anybody found a universal dock to fit the with the otterbox defender? Or any dock that would fit it for that matter? I just got the mountek universal today in the mail, and you guessed it. Doesn't fit in landscape position.

Yes, I have a universal dock that I used with my Evo 4G with or without my Ballistic HC case, and now my Evo 3D with or without my Defender case. I'll try to find it and post a link. It attatches in to a power outlet(charging port) and also gives you a power outlet built in to it so you dont lose an outlet. Depends on your car though as to whether this would work for you or not...

This is the exact one that I have. Mine has padding on the bottom, sides, and on the back. I dont see this one showing any padding on the back, but I imagine that its there. I've had it for a year and have no complaints. The only modification I did was took a black zip-tie and sercured the power port on the dock. You actually dont even notice it, unless you are really looking for it, but it does blend in really well, and you can secure it to face which ever direction works best for you.

Oh, and this is cheaper than what I paid, I spent over 20 for mine, would do it again too. This mount works perfectly in my car, just the right location

I've seen this guys stuff before. I dont know how(guess he works some where that gives him access to making plastic molds), but he makes his own stuff. It would be nice if he showed pics of the phone/case in the mount...
Thanks guys really appreciate it.

I saw a youtube video of his for his iphone 4 dock and it really snapped into placed well and seemed to hold the phone very snugly.

I would also love to hear about your experience with this. I am more than likely getting the Defender for my 3VO, but really want a car mount that'll handle it.
Really wish I could find something like the Defender, but instead of a holster it had a belt clip with an attachable knob for the case to attach a belt clip, like http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Elements-Snap-Sprint/dp/B002XIWKQ4 for the CDMA Hero.
It's just going to be really uncomfortable to still be wearing the entire holster on my belt while the phone is in the dock in my car. Gonna be a slight hassle also if I had to take the holster off every time I got into and out of the car.
I may be nitpicking, but I suppose everyone has their quirks.

Have you carried a phone in a holster before? Maybe is just me, but i never even notice the holster, assuming it's in the right spot. I carry my phone in a Defender, holstered, Mon-Fri and in pocket on weekends.

Believe it or not my Garmin 255W GPS window car mount fits the tabs on the sides of my defender. Its not super tight but stayed the entire 3hr trip to Cleveland I made this past weekend road bumps and all.

I've used these things on my Evo 4g and the work great. I just got one for my 3d with the defender case and my only problem is it's a little snug with the usb cable plugged in. I basically have to remove the cable before I remove it from the holder.
goto ebay and search slipgrip 3d otterbox defender and you'll get all the options
now all I have to do is find a new holster for the defender because I broke off the belt loop
Fellow asteemed geeks,
How snug a fit is the Standard cradle? Will a silicone cover work with one without having to remove it?
If folks do not believe it will work, I'll skip the purchase of the cradle. I want a cover that just stays on 24*7.

Not unless the cover is "wafer-thin" in my experience.
There is an insert that is removable in each of the docks, but it doesn't give you enough room with most covers.
Sorry. I wish they had planned better ... say multiple inserts of differing thicknesses.
You can remove the standard dock insert which will give you room to dock the phone with a case. With the Body Glove Mirage (soft) and Incipio Feather, I can dock the phone without that top plate installed. Downside is that it looks tacky and looks to put a lot of stress on the charging port on the phone since the top plate supports the weight of the phone.
I ended up getting the 'Ruggedized Battery Cover plate' from Motorola. There is a thread around here that details how you can get Motorola to send you one for free, although with the Atrix going EOL, it might not still be available. With this adapter plate you can dock the phone with pretty much any case that is not overly bulky (ie OtterBox Defender). Try searching for the thread on the 'Ruggedized battery cover' to find the exact instructions and part numbers you need.
What do u guys think of these? Anyone own either of these?

I bought an incase one made for the 11" mac air. I love it! Fits the tablet with the dock. I also put the charger and my cell phone in the front two pockets. Phone always has the hotspot app active!

Ive got one of these coming for mine.
I wanted an EVA case yet not too huge/heavy. The strap/handle seems flexible so it can securely "sling" for a bike/skate trip, but also carry like a briefcase.
I also like the added room (sunglasses, wallet, possibly charger).
I'll give a review once I get it and have some hands on experience.

I've seen the CaseCrown up close and personal. My buddy bought it for his Galaxy Tab 10.1. Nice case, well designed and constructed. For the price I think you'll be happy.
I've got the Targus case and love it. It's got 2 compartments so it'll fit both the tablet and dock separately or together.
Timbuk2 Quickie Carry Bag- real nice!
Picked up one of these (Size Small) from amazon and it is real nice as a small tablet bag for the Prime, with full shoulder strap. A little pricey, but Highly recommended. Great build construction with lifetime warranty to protect the prime, and 2 side pockets for the charger and phone. It's smaller than it looks in the picture- just a little larger than the tablet itself
Insulated very well inside with well constructed bubble membrane foam, to protect the tablet from vibrations.
My Prime has a leather case and it fits great inside this bag !!! A nice compromise between a sleeve and a full size laptop bag, with still a good amount of room for charger and cable! I think the Prime with the Keyboard dock should fit nicely too!

Anyone know of a Slim Case that's compatible with the docking station?
I was really interested in the MoKo Premium Quality Slim case, but I think I read a comment saying it doesn't play nice with the dock :/.
Anyone got any suggestions? I don't obviously plan on using the dock all the time, but when my class calls for notes, I'd prefer using it.
I don't like thick stuff, so something I can carry around in my hand would be nice.
Maybe it wouldn't be too much hassle to just pull it out of the case when I need to use the dock? But if there's a slim case that works amazing with the dock, that may be the better choice.
(I think you could just snap off the bottom two tabs and it'll work?)
And I want those 3 levels of standup angles.
Thanks!
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.
Im ordering my Dock.
www.engadget.com
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..
