[Q] Dock with room for case + phone? - HTC EVO 3D

I'm currently using this case for my EVO 3D:
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Evo-3D-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-Evo-3D-Tough-Cases.asp
And i would like to get a dock to use at home. But i always have the case on, to protect the phone. So i'm basicly looking for a dock that will fit the phone while having the case on.
Anyone got any ideas / links / names on docks?

Try Kidigi they make docks that work with cases but I'm not sure if it will work with the one that you have.

I bought the Seidio case that is made to fit with a case, and I have the BodyGlove case from Sprint, it fit perfectly. I think it should work with most cases that aren't overly bulky.

Could you give me a link to the dock you're using, and maybe the case as well?
I'm still looking for one to fit with both my phone and the case i linked in my first post.

Case that fits in the iGrip car mount?

As the title says, I have the [iGrip car mount](http://www.htcdepot.com/igrip-perfektfit-charging-dock/3A78A8613.htm) and it has been my experience trying out phone protectors at the Sprint store that none of the cases fit into it.
Are there any nice cases that will fit in the car mount?
P.s. I know that the insert pulls out.
the two piece snap together cases fit, the bodyglove cases are slightely too big and they wont stay in the charge position.
the igrip car dock dash mount sucks it wobbles too much and doesn't have an adjustment knob at the neck like the pictures show.
I have had good luck with the hard plastic cases as well as the TPU cases. I even got my OB commuter to work with some mods.

I just got mine in today and I have the tpu hybrid case. can't get it to fit! I feel screwed by buying this. I would hate to have to take my case off each time to use the igrip
Edit: nm I removed a piece that allowed my case to fit
I have the igrip car dock and use a tpu-cases.com case and it fits perfectly. IMO, the tpu-cases brand fit great with fast free shipping. The tpu hybrid that you have is not the same as the tpu-cases. Hope this helps.

Love the tpu-cases. And they fit perfectly after removing the igrip insert. Love the combo!
The Body Glove Vibe kickstand case works perfectly with the iGrip. Great combo. I have gotten over the purple color. Chicks seem to dig it.
Works great with all 6 of my tpu cases

The fit is incredible on the Platinum or Seidio case with the kickstand. I can confirm that this combo will be what I stay with on this phone for sure.
I had the iGrip PerfectFit charging dock. I tried to fit it with my Seidio Surface case with no avail, neither fits not close to touch the microUSB attachment. It's going back to the online store for a refund. Bummer.
I guess I have to wait for Seidio to come out an equivalent car mount as for the EVO 4G with Surface case. That mount from Germany is sick!
Barely There fits great.

I think a lot of people don't realize there's an insert in the igrip dock that you can take out if you have a case on your phone. It won't fit something as monstrous as an otterbox, but my tpu hybrid case fits perfectly

Yup, I tried all the cases my Sprint store had and it didn't fit despite removing the insert.
Thanks everyone for their help
Can someone confirm the Seidio Surface case does work with the iGrip? I think I saw both a yes and a no in this thread.
Is the Platinum case at BestBuy just a rebranded Seidio Surface? Looks like it.
TIA!

Case selection for docks

Does anyone know of a case that fits both the nav dock and desktop dock without the need to remove the case? I see the docks come with an adaptor plate that is used with cases, but which cases work? Want a good case that doesn't add too much bulk to carry in pocket and maybe on belt but also goes in docks.
Thanks
You would need either a thin, silicone case, one of the invisible shield-type skins, or a case that doesn't have anything near the ports on top of the phone.
I tried the Otterbox commuter case (the thinner of the two) with an HD station in the Verizon store here. Removing the insert on the dock allowed the ports to line up properly, but the male connectors were not long enough to make proper contact. Removing the plastic, outer case may have helped here, but not by much.
Have you tested it with one of the silicone cases?
I have both the Mobi hard shell and the Otterbox commuter cases. The otterbox fit really snug in the travel dock and charges fine. The 2piece mobi hard shell case fits the travel dock a little loose but works fine also.
My friend has the otterbox commuter case working with the home dock. He said he had to remove a very little amount of plastic from the dock with a hand file.
I have the incipio two-piece case (hard/soft shell combo) that fits very well.

I can confirm both of these about the commuter series otterbox. Fits really nicely in the travel dock with the insert removed. I thought the otterbox was made for it it fit so well.
The home dock on the other hand is another matter. I think ill try what your friend has done as it seems the hard plastic piece seems to be the troubling piece. Ill let you all know what i find. Hopefully posting some pics later on this week.
I have the Boxwave Duo Suit they are also known as the Cimo-S case (they appear to be identical). These fit but you need to remove the insert from the dock.

The belt clip combo case that Verizon sales fits in the Navigation dock. At first I thought that it wouldn't work because it was too snug of a fit, but a few days later I realized that there was an insert that I needed to remove from the dock. After a little pry work, the insert popped out and it fits securely enough.

Horizontal holster cases

I just bought the Mobo Carrera slim Horizontal case (for the Galaxy Nexus) and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. It fits the LTEvo nice and snug. The phone doesn't budge at all, especially when shaken vigorously. Also magnet doesn't come off when turned upside and shaken hard. The case is nice and slim to complement the slimness of the LTEvo. The interior is outlined in red leather (sort of complements the phone as well). The belt clip is made of metal (but covered in leather) and swivels but the swivel is rigid and doesn't move with little force with is good to me; stays in the position it is set to. Has the opening at the bottom to allow you to push the phone up to easily remove it.
If you are interested in a horizontal case, then this might be the one for you. Just google Mobo Carrera Horizontal case Galaxy Nexus; amazon has it here Mobo Carrera Horizontal Carrying Case. Other site sell it as well.
I bought 2 more slim cases and I'll write about them here as well when they come in this coming week.

Well I didn't keep the other two cases. One was too big for the LTEvo that the phone flopped around in the case. That was a killer for me, so I didn't even bother to give it another thought.
The other one is the one pictured below. It was a case for the Galaxy Nexus so it didn't really fit all that well. Don't get me wrong the case was well designed but the dimensions were just short of fitting the LTEvo. The LTEvo was hanging out of the case. If they make one specifically for the LTEvo, it would be worth investing in it.

If you don't mind my asking, what cases were the ones that were too big? Also do you think they'd fit the Evo with a silicone or TPU case on? Thanks!
Ditto to the above I like a gorm fitting holster but I never go out without a case. For work I use the Otterbox commuter with the seido active holster but for regular use, I use a thin TPU case. I have yet to find a holster that is thin and long enough to fit the phone with a TPU case.
Any suggestions?

Question about a leather holster

Hey guys, if someone can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.
I just bought my father the note (sold his GS2 on craigslist) and i got him this case on amazon.
The problem is, my father is used to using a leather holster case that the whole phone slips into, this holster obvioulsy isnt like that, one side goes in, then the other.
He tried getting a holster case by the different stands he usually goes to bu the ones they have, dont fit the phone and the rubber seido case....
has anyone else had this problem and found a leather holster that fits the note and a case?
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Was he BlackBerry? We used pocket cases with those. I use a very nice pocket case from amazon.com.

Sorry, i guess i wasnt really specific. more of this kind of case... but it would have to fit hit protection case too...
I doubt you're gonna find a leather case that let's the phone and the rubber case slide in to. But if you boosted in the accessories forum you might get more answers.

Cases for Z3V

Figured opening something for this would be useful for everyone. Being that this model has different dimensions from both the Z3 standard and Z2 itll need its own line of cases. Theres apparently a tough case mate on the way and some leather slip cases. Post up what you come across as you go.
I did some research and found out the cases for the Z2 L50h will work for Z3v since the dimensions of the phones are the same.
I've found no evidence to support that.
VZW website has 2 cases up so far. A silicone one and the usual hard case with holster and kickstand.
It appears that Verizon might be stocking a third case in the near future - If you go to the all accessories page (not the cases page) on the Verizon website and and filter by the z3v, there is also a Incipio DualPro for Experia Z3v in purple or black in the list, although it gives a 404 if you try to click on it.
It looks nicer then the other options, so I'm hoping it is released soon.
Update: I can now get to the details page and ad it to a cart, so maybe they are adding the listing this morning.
The incipio is out in stores. I got one when i picked up my phone. Its actually pretty nice.
Do you need to take the phone out of the case for charging wirelessly?
i have the cheapo black case, works fine charging wirelessly. it was like 19 bucks?
Both the incipio and silicone Verizon cases can be left on to charge wirelessly

That aint cheap, just to some standards. XD
I have the plain silicone case too but geez...it looks VERY plain. Wished the incipio one was in store when I got it at the time. :/
Do the z2 cases fit the z3v
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Unfortunately no.
Your best ones available are pretty much the plain TPU case and the incipio dual from Verizon. I have the plain one, but it does pretty alright for what it does in giving me grip.
Everyone should contact Diztronic and ask them to make a TPU for the Z3v. I've always liked their TPU products.

I have the kickstand holster case and just use the shell. It looks good but the protection isn't the best. It covers the back glass but the top and bottom of the phone are exposed in the middle. Not bad though. Both this case and the plain TPU case I bought work with my Sony 5,000mah wireless portable charger (nice device btw) and the Chloe Qi charger.

They're not TPU cases, they're just plain silicone. I'm waiting for the TPU cases to come out
The Incipio case is the best one out right now.
i had post this on the other thread:
look like theres a new TPU case made from China that looks very interesting
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Skin-Cas...#ht_2017wt_867
There's an otter box defender on otter boxes site. Looks bulky.
I am using the Z2's Trident Aegis case on my Z3v. Fit is just about on point. The opening for the charging port/SIM card is a little off where I can't open the charging port cover to charge. I have to remove it from the case. The cutout where the earphone port is has a gap around the little flap that covers the actual port.
Other than those minor issues, I have been satisfied using this case until a more specific fit case rolls out.
