Thanks.
sent from my 3D
Ordered... thanks!!! It says it has its own charging port, too. By the looks of it it should be pretty nice.
Just picked mine up from the Sprint store. It's fantastic. It feels durable, has a removable slot sizing piece so it can accommodate phones with cases, and it comes with a disc for dash mounting if you don't want to window mount it. I love it!
Is this the official one made by HTC? Like the official one for the EVO 4G?
Yeah it is. I saw it today when I picked my phone.
It's really nice. I held off for now though. I've already bought like three cases and want to get a nice sd card...it adds up

Think an Otterbox Commuter would fit in there once the insert is removed... and still charge the phone?

Yes I will fit and charge the phone too
no Otter box will fit in this car dock, the body glove case is too big it barely goes in at all and it's thinner than the Otterbox defender and commuter by a long shot.
The ones sprint are selling doesn't have the adjustment knob to adjust the mount up and down, it only has the tilt ball adjustment. On Igrips web site theirs shows an adjustment knob at the top of the arm to tilt it up and down and sprints have identical clips on both sides with no knob, making it a bit difficult to get it exactly where you want it

No it's made by iGrip, not HTC. Just picked it up in the store. I'ts not like the HTC Evo 4G dock at all. This still seems nice though and about $20 cheaper if I remember correctly.
From the bottom of the box
Sunction mount and vehicle disc made in Germany
Vehicle Dock made in china.
Customer Support: iGRIP Global LLC [email protected]
http://www.igrip.us/ Here it is on their page. The mount itself is seperate from the part that holds the phone so in theory for your next phone you could just buy the phone holder and pay less.
Edit: it does put it into car mode though.
The Commuter kinda fits.. if you press down it will charge, but it won't stay that way, you also need to remove the soft USB cover (fine by me)..
It's so close to fitting perfectly I think I'm just gonna dremel it a bit at work on Monday..
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 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.

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
Here are the accessories I bought for my 3VO. (coming from OG EVO)
Anti-Glare Screen Protector
Trident Aegis Case
Class 4 16GB SD
Personally have not had a matte screen protector. But I have seen others saying it disrupts the way the 3d works, as in the 3d doesnt look or work as good with that type of screen protector.
I would love to hear your experience with it however.
Get otterbox bruhh I found out the hard way
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
what's a 3VO, do you mean a EVO 3D?
dont waste your money on an otterbox, invest in a ballistic case and youll be glad you did!
Also the official htc dock is really nice. Fits perfectly (not a mm too small/big), looks neat and even supports MHL (which is also a great thing to have). I don't like cases personally, the back cover is too nice to put something over it. I also don't have a screen protector cuz I always screw up putting it on (yes I tried) . I do have a nice official htc leather pouch (really cheap from eBay. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-PU-Leat...657502?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c20fedb5e <-- one downside, doesn't fit perfectly.. top speaker bit is visible..) .

I have bought a few cases and docks since I bought my phone almost 2 months ago. after tring a few things and the construction industry I'm in. This is what I bought and seems Like I have dialed in good. I have bought the
Otter Box Defender> http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Defender--Hybrid-Holster-Black/dp/B0054JGGB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322927463&sr=8-1

Took them both back since if I get paint on it it will be hard to get off everyday. Also decided to keep my phone naked.
so I settled on this cheesy pouch this for when I'm painting to cover the phone from overspary and getting knocked around:
http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Prote...54/ref=sr_1_90?ie=UTF8&qid=1322927176&sr=8-90
when I'm home and for the weekends: I have the Seidio non-cased spring cliped holster:

For the car got the iGrip car dock which is nice:

But not as universal and easy to take from car to car as the Exomount:

I like the iGrip since it holds the car charger wire firm as not to strain the port in the phone from where I like the suction cup to go and the phone is very easy to put in and take out. The Exomount is nice since the suction cup is one of those sticky kind that will go anywhere, I used to to watch movies in the back seat, stuck to the rear seat which the iGrip might not of stuck to.
Regarding my wifes phone we stayed with the White Platinum case (from bestbuy) with the holster from my black case Platinum combo and she uses it on her purse. I do like the Platinum case but the white one seems to discolor from the sun it looks like
Yeah have the otterbox defender, have no complaints except for the holster. Smart to buy a case for it either way. One scratch is too many!
I agree. I hate scratching my phone. I like the otter but its just to big and thick for me to being carrying around in my pocket especially at work. And I'm not a fan of holsters hahA.

When you have your phone in the Exomount, does it bounce around? I want to get a mount that I can use with my 3vo, or Epic Touch, or any other device that I have.

Couldn't disagree more. Otterbox is hands down the best case. Spend the $50, buy a defender. Protects way better than the Ballistic case, backed by the company and smaller than a ballistic.

Okay, Yes the exomount does have a small ball and its not very stiff. (sounds like a horror movie ha!) If your bouncing around alot the phone does lose it's position and you have to realign it to face you. But that said its very universal and light and easy to just grab when you know you might need it. also its good for anyother device like other ipod touches & smartphones in the family.

LOL...alright well most of the roads here in NY/NJ are decent, but I'm just curious before taking the leap.
Amazon has it for $20 so that's not bad at all.
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..

I just received that dock yesterday. First impressions are very good. One small exception.
I use the Platinum case that I got at Best Buy, which is essentially the same as the Seidio case.
The phone docks fine, but the case causes the phone to "tilt" a bit to the left. Even with the sleeve out of the dock, it still tilts a bit and does not seat all the way.
But it is barely noticeable and the dock works great.
If you get this dock, be advised that it does not come with a microUSB cable for connecting the dock to your 12v supply in your vehicle. But if your former phone was an EVO 4G like me, you probably have many of those cables laying around any way.
If you do not use a case, however, with the sleeve in the phone fits like a glove.
If you have seen or used the Seidio dock for the OG, like I did, the first thing I can say about this new dock is even though the EVO LTE is larger than the OG, the dock is less intrusive on the windshield.
Thanks, but i mainly just need something to hold my phone. I don't use the NAV on my phone anymore, so i just need something so my phone isn't sitting in my cupholder.
looks sexy but...
I just got my Diztronic case which is absolutely the perfect case and it will not fit in the dock. Not quite sure what to do... I'm leaning towards returning the dock.
EDIT:
after taking the insert out and using the pads in the box it works great!

It does tilt a bit, but that's what those two tiny foam pads that came with it are for. I put one on the right bottom side and the other on the middle nearer to the backside of the phone. It's almost perfectly balanced now.

I have the same case and it fits fine in the car dock. Did you remove the extra insert? There's an insert (adapter) that is in there for a naked LTE. It just pops right out and your Diztronic covered LTE will fit right in there. Make sure to use the two foam pieces on the right hand side so your phone doesn't tilt.

This is what I used with my Photon and it works perfectly with the evo lte. Just turn it sideways and turn on car mode. It holds TIGHT to the windshield and wont come off.. even in Texas heat. For extra fun take a nfc tag and have it auto launch car dock when near
