Have a look at these new ones:
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2007/01/15/2_new_htc_headphone_adapters
HERE is the first adapter, ~16€ in Italy !! (..no comment)
9.95 on expansys.com HERE
I think the Brando adapters are better than the expansys ones, they look a bit more flexible.

Please let us know what you think of it!
Guys I have just recieved mine from brando this morning. And I have to say that I am not impressed at all! Within minutes of using it the shell of the mic fell off! I was on the train and didn't even realise untill I looked down in my hands and saw the bare connection exposed. No force at all was used it simply came off. On closer inspection it looks like it wasn't stuck together properly! Not a big problem as such. But I am still not happy with the build quality!!

Hmm interesting.
1.How long is the lead from the usb connector to the mic?
2.Have you had any feed back as to the voice quality of the mic?
3.Finally what 3.5mm headphones are using with it? (though any headphones I suspect would be an improvement over the supplied ones!! )
Sorry mate don't have a ruler at work to measure it at the moment. But at a guess i'd say probably about 45 - 50cm. But again I could be wrong as that was just an estimate! I'll check when I get home.
Haven't tested the mic on a call yet! Again will post back when I do.
I am using the Creative Labs EP-630 in ear earphones. Got to say the sound is excellent. Much better than the original ones you get with the phone. I hate using the originals they don't fit properly and they sound crap as well!
The only thing that was good about the original earphones was that the wire from the USB adaptor to the mic is quite thick. The wire on the Brando is thin, that was the first thing I noticed when I opened up the pack. It looks more delicate. And I found it impossible to attach the clip that they supply to the wire, the gap is too small and even the slightest attempt to clip it in causes marks on the wire and it feels like it will damage it.
Triple adapter
Does anyone have the first adapter with the 3 different sockets? I was just wondering if you use the 3.5mm headphone jack does the mic on the handset still work? If it does it'll be great for using in my car.
Thanks

It does NOT. The microphone is dead when the 3.5 jack is plugged in...
that just simply SUCKS!

I concur. I have the Brando product. I don't know why they even included the clip; it's impossible to attach to the wire. I tried, and the wire now has two glaring gashes in it that I've had to cover with electrical tape.
That being said, i use a set of Sony earbud earphones with it, and the sound quality is infinitely better than the original headset.
just received mine a few day ago. its just a 'not bad' thing. i'm using it with sony ericsson headset. the sounds is good enough to make me deaf.
For those of you that have the Jawbone (www.jawbone.com) you are probably like me and don't like the ear "gel" that comes with it. My personal favorite is the ear gel that comes with the Jabra headsets. Well, take the one that came with the Jawbone off and put the one that came with the Jabra on. It fits great and also allows the sound to channel right to your ear like on the Jabra. I can now say I'm totally happy with my Jawbone. Just needed the right ear gel adapter. Hope this post helps others out there. ;-)
Does Jabra gel fit exact as Jawbone one? I am have same problem as you with Jawbone.

It fits very snug and doesn't "rotate" like the stock one that comes with the jawbone but it fits. I went to Jabra's website and ordered a pack of gels just for my Jawbone.
If you're concerned and you have a buddy with a Jabra. Borrow one of the ear gels that he's not using and give it a try for yourself. I think you'll be happy with the results. I've already gotten replies from others that have tried this and everyone that has tried it is happy with the results. One of my buddies even uses his Jawbone without the wire that goes behind the ear. His stays in his ear without the wire since he's put on the Jabra ear gel.
Interesting And I gave out my jabra

You can order a kit of the gels from www.jabra.com, they are cheap. I ordered two sets to have spares.

Do you have the model number of Gels you ordered?
I searched on Jabra with Gels or miniGels and their site shows nothing.

This is weird. I ordered them directly from the website but now i can't find them. I have to head out for a little while but I'll search again when I get back and try to get you the part numbers. Damn Jabra keeps changing their website. Leave it along JABRA...leave it alone! LOL

I found my order. The item number, description and price are as follow:
13059, Jabra MiniGels, $5.50
Hope this helps. Not sure why I could no longer find it on the site but I purchased it directly from Jabra. I ordered two kits for myself.
Just looked over the invoice. Jabra is using Hellodirect.com for their sales site. I just checked Hellodirect.com and they are there. Just go to the site and do a search for the item number 13059. The page will come up for you.

Thanks a lot.

I've ordered them, just in case...
But I find the Jawbone fits comfortably with the oval shaped gel supplied, and stays in my ear without using the earloop.
I'm liking it so far.
Different Ear Gel Mod
I just purchased a new Jawbone and I too think the ear gels supplied from Jawbone are horrible. My problem is not comfort, it is that these ear gels do not seal off the ear very well and let in a lot of ambient noise. It works fine in a quite room but add some ambient noise and it becomes very hard to hear. I have a Jabra and I tried the ear gels from it and I could not get the Jabra ear gels to fit at all. I think it is because the Jabra's speaker faces 90 degrees different then the one on the Jawbone. I need an ear gel the faces directly into my ear, not sideways. Maybe the Jabra gel works great for some people but everyone's ears must be different. I tried something else that worked great for me.
I took off the supplied ear gel and bought some heat shrink tubing. I cut off a fairly short piece and fitted it over ear piece where the original gel should go. After heat shrinking the tube using a lighter, I ended up with a fairly small diameter tube coming directly out of the Jawbone speaker. This ended up small enough that I was able to slide the old ear gel right over the top of the shrunk tube. The tube now coming off of the jawbone speaker is a similar size to the one found on many of today's in ear headphones. I ended up taking one of the gels off of a set of headphones made by skull candy and slid it over this new tube. Now I have an ear gel that fits very snug into my ear canal and does a great job of eliminating ambient noise. It does not come off the Jawbone at a right angle like the Jabra gels do. I love the way it fits and I can wear it all day.
I've been looking around for quite a while for the right stereo headset. (for me) I wanted something with easy access. I could possibly wear or put in my shirt pocket. I found this Jabra BT3030 pretty cheap on eBay. (It may be a knock-off but works great) I think I got it for $26 including shipping Hong Kong to Largo, FL. It did take about 3 weeks to get it but it was well worth the wait.
I tried using the ball chain lanyard that came with it. I found it was a little cumbersome with the extra headset wire and such. I got a nice pair of Skullcandy earbuds. The cheap ones. $14 at CompUSA. Since they were cheap I didn't mind experimenting with them. When I first got the earbuds I was really disappointed. The sound was horrible. No bass, and really tinty. I found that you have give them a chance. They have to break-in. Now I get rich sound and deep ear-rattling bass.
Here is my mod...
I figured out how to pop the earbuds open.
I was able to carefully remove the Skullcandy cable splitter thingy. I actually slid it about an inch and a half from the plug.
I shortened the earphone cables to where they could wrap behind my neck and make it comfortably up to my ears.
I put a small piece of fuel tubing (left over from another hobby) so they crossed behind my neck.
I then soldered the cables back on to the earbuds, and superglued them back closed.
Now I have a comfortable necklace that I can wear around my neck, inside or outside my shirt collar. The dog tag like BT xmitter is small and lightweight so it hangs nicely, usually under my shirt. I can quickly grab an earbud and press answer button on the xmitter under my shirt to answer the phone. I can also listen to tunes while I wait for things to finish while I'm working on computers.
nice one dude! I also have this headset, thanks for the tip...
That's pretty awesome!
Thanks, Glad to help.

Really nice information these little things can make life very easy and comfortable but I prefer wireless connectivity something like Plantronics CS70 Wireless System,Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo,Plantronics CS50 Headset which is much simpler for me anyway thanks for the information.
So twice now I've brought armband, once off Ebay and once off Cellphoneshop.net and neither of them fit. ebay one won't fit at all, the cellphoneshop.net one barely barely fit with no case on, but the cover don't really close properly and the headphone jack hole is on the wrong side!
Anyone know a good jogging armband with clear face cover that will fit the EVO 3D? preferably with a TPU case on.
Is so frustrating when seller advertise something as for our phone and its actually some generic crap!
I'll throw this out there in case it ends up working out for your. I used to try finding clear cases and arm bands but they never really worked very well and I ended up prefering the phone near my waist and running my headphones inside the back of my shirt.
It works great for my uses. I love it for jogging/working out/shooting around (basketball).
SPIbelt sells jogging belts, bands, etc.
http://www.spibelt.com/spibelt.php
http://store.spibelt.com/Waterresistantspibelt-p/7bl-a001-001-waterres.htm
It does not have a clear face. It's just a slim water resistant pouch/belt that you can order to fit your phone. I just specfied "pouch for HTC EVO" when I ordered mine.
Again it does not have a clear face and I wouldn't even say it's "easily accessible". But for holding your phone securely while being very active (I use it for jogging, lifting and shoot arounds) it is very secure. I strap it around my waist and you forget it's there.
Just thought I would throw it out.

I went through the same PITA.
Finally found this one which fits beautifully... the little holes for the headphones can be a awkward depending on your plug style/size, but other than that it is the best I've found:

I'm coming to the conclusion i need to buy the expensive armband also, but I was worry they are just more expensive version of the cheap stuff too.
Can you please let me know if the iarmbands one would work with a TPU case on? if it can then it would be perfect. as far as the headphone holes goes i'm not TOO concern, my headphones have very slim jack, and worse come to worse i can always enlarge the hole a little, as long as its in the right general location

We designed the armband to fit most phones with screen sizes from 3.7" - 4.3". I've tested it with the Sensation as seen above, Thunderbolt (with TPU case), Droid 3, Droid X 2 and a couple others and they fit.

Pics with the EVO 3D:
It fits a naked EVO 3D nicely, I'd say it would probably fit with a TPU case.
Got my case from iArmband today and I'mot impressed at all. The holes don't line up at all for the headphone jack, it's more of a generic size then specifically for the 3D and the arm strap is way too short.
Edit... So I received an email from iArmbands about my issues with this item. They apologized for the inconvenience and issued a full refund. They also told me to go ahead and keep the product as well...pretty outstanding customer service if you ask me.
Hey all, just pulled the trigger on a Razer Phone Thin Case and the Hammerhead USB C headphones, and curious to know what others think about the OEM cases.. thanks!

I have the thin case and it's really too much money for what it is. It's not going to offer much protection if you drop it. I think it's too slick also. I wish it was grippier.

I would like to see a sandstone textured case,much like the finish on OnePlus' 1+1.
I have a few cases for other phones w/the finish & it feels a lot better than a slick surface.
You don't feel the need to "power grip" your phone w/such a finish,a much better feel-in hand vs smooth cases/surfaces.

Agree completely it's seriously overpriced for a case. It's nice and all but just go for the "rugged" one people. Do the USB type C earphones have the LED the BT ones have?
Thanks guys! For me, I prefer the "office guy" case; one that's super minimal such as Peel or MNML. The biggest worry for me is scratches on the aluminum of this phone..

I have the USB type C headphones from Razer and they do have the green LEDs. They are constantly on though, unlike the BT breathing ones. :good:
The headphines
I ordered the HammerHead BTs and so far have not had any problems. The supplied ear plugs have been a good size and have been easy to keep clean. For smaller ears the spikes on them can catch the ear lobe of pushed in quite far however they sound as good as any other £100 Bluetooth in ear headphones.
The case
I've always been one to get the case from the supplier of a phone so went with the rugged case. I have always looked after my tech never even cracked or scuffed one so for me the case is for piece of mind that when input it down on a surface I won't scratch the back or camera lenses. Currently the phone is at work on my gaming mouse mat or at home on my other gaming mouse mat. If not on a mouse mat I know is clean then it's in my pocket where nothing else goes in.
Screen Protector.
I've never used on but then I have always been careful and at the back of my mind all previous phones have been apple so have had faith the screen could get replaced if needed.
Considering that I did buy the Razer screen protector but will get a friend to apply it to the phone as it's something I've tried in the past and never been 100% good at and at the £25 price tag I want it to go on without problems.
Still waiting on the case and screen protector but will let you know
The rugged case sure is imo. There's hardly anything rugged about it unless you count paint being matte?
It's not going to survive anything dropped more then 6" on anything other than carpet. ?
It's the word case, plus a top side wall, and 20-30$ more.
Really with some rugged cases would hurry up. Opting for a zippered tactile type pouch until someone produces one.

I've just requested a cancellation of my accessory order (case/screen protector/USB earbuds) :
Bad enough the cases/etc.. are overpriced,but,I get it,new phone/etc... prices drop on all of it in a couple months,if you want savings,wait a bit,but I was willing to pay the admission price of getting it now.
However,Day 5 of my 5-7 day window is here & checking the status,I'm greeted with a longer wait,6-9 business days.
Only way to contact order support is via email,which states a 24 hr. window for response.
Once you get the ticket confirmation,that window is extended to 24-48 hrs.
A real S***** way of conducting business Razer ,future purchases will be via Amazon/Microsoft/e-Bay/etc.... anywhere other than the Razer On-line store.
Ya, as my first was defective with the speaker crackle I opted to change my rma to a return. Then just bought one on Amazon.
I will say though Razer customer service is prolly slammed right now but each time I've done a live chat they've been polite, answered questions, and listened as I've reported a few bugs.
Leaps and bounds better than other places I've dealt with. (Though I'm kinda irked they haven't been pushing messages to the phones about what's up with the sound reduction from patch 1.0, or at least a Twitter update or such)

The chats are fine for tech support, but, that option doesn't exist for order inquiries, no phone call support either, just email for order inquiries.
They've essentially built a firewall for order support, to stall/buy time, it's a tactic I will not encourage, hence, my order cancelation request.
Sent from my Razer Phone using XDA Labs
Just RMA my hammered bt kinda want the usb type c ones instead :/. Also if anyone has pictures of the rugged case both on the phone and off I'd greatly appreciate it
Possible coincidence:
After placing an order cancelation request earlier today (after Razer pushed back the processing/ship date).
They've updated the status to SHIPPED,from Hong Kong to the US, will be here tomorrow.
All's well that ends well, but, I'm still not happy regarding their email firewall regarding order support.

I like that,but, I agree with you:
Judging by the picture, calling it a rugged case is laughable. :laugh:

Sent from my Razer Phone using XDA Labs
Ya, the inside has a very thin layer of silicone or something, kinda neoprene like... The only protection I see it giving, is scratch protection and an edge, so the phone can't rest on it's screen.
I've been checking everyday, but so far the only other case is the orzly one that's the crappy silicone ones, or a purse looking foldable wallet thing.
Investigating generic bags etc for phones, or sleeves, but ya, someone needs to make a nice thick protected one that can actually handle drops.
Still awaiting my delivery of my Rugged case and Screen Protector email just saying its shipped like 15mins ago. Will give some feedback once I have them. I bought them mainly to prevent cosmetic damage to the phone from scuffs or dirt or a table when i put it down at a pub or somewhere public where I know it maybe not clean and something to keep the camera lens off the surface. so hope it manages that.
Just received my Razer Accessories moments ago:
Thin Case:
Perfect for minimal protection.
The cutouts,for the power & volume buttons,are a big welcome, especially for the power button.
1) Makes for ease of locating the buttons by feel.
2) Cutouts give an edge/lip, for your finger/thumb to rest while holding the phone with a more relaxed grip.
3) The edges are raised enough to allow for the phone to be placed face-down on a flat surface w/o any worries.
Some may wish for a bit more protection,notably @ the top & bottom, which is fully exposed. I'm pleased with the design as-is, those wanting the mentioned additional protection may want to give the OEM Razer rugged case a look.
Hammerhead USB-C earbuds:
1) Sound quality is good, hard for me to nail down, I'm not an audiophile, but, I feel safe in recommending them (FWIW they also work on my Note FE & Sony Xperia XZP, YMMV on other phones).
2) The volume rocker is nice, it's a true rocker, akin to a wall switch toggle, no searching by feel for tiny dots/arrows.
3) The earbuds are magnetized, to stick to each other while wearing not in-service, a nice touch to prevent losing & and a perfect solution to leave the carrying case at home (more on that later, )
I could do without the nuclear glow-in-the-dark LED-lit snake logo on each ear bud.
I would not have ordered these if I'd known about the glowing logos, but, it's not worth the bother of an RMA refund for me.
May try to black it out w/a permanent marker..
The provided travel pouch is nice, has a small loop for clipping/tethering to whatever.
The overall size of the travel case is not for the yoga pants/skinny-jean crowds, , of which I'm neither, perfectly acceptable for cargo pants/backpacks/etc....
Back to the more meaningful stuff regarding the audio:
As I stated, I'm not an audiophile, but, when using these with the built-in Dolby Atmos, making any adjustments to the settings seems to make no difference in sound quality whatsoever. Compared with another equalizer app & the difference is night & day, along with adjustments in the other equalizer making a difference in sound quality.
Razer/Dolby definitely has their work cut out for them,perhaps the latest update not only muted the external speakers overall volume, but, has broke Dolby Atmos in process.....
Summary:
Would I recommend the thin case:
Absolutely, however, as the name implies, minimal protection is the theme. Those wanting more protection would probably be better served with the Orzly line up ATM, at least until more mfgs step up to the plate.
The USB-C earbuds:
Yes,if for no other reason, you don't wanna chance other mfgs USB-C earbuds not working on this phone. Otherwise, save your money & use your earbuds of choice with the provided dongle.
I actually like the earbuds, especially the volume rocker, but, the neon logo on the earbuds temper my enthusiasm a bit.
Guess I'll grow my hair out a bit more & this point is moot.... :laugh:
