Thanks

Right nice photo they have there . . . think they could have made it any smaller and more indistinct so that all you could figure out is that the object is black?
Lol, true true, but it was the only official HTC page were I found that accessory...
How exactly does that cradle work? I have a Wing and it has a rubber cover over the bottom ports. Would I have to permanently remove that cover, or does it somehow just "fit" in the cradle, even with a dangling cover.
I got this one for my 4350
http://www.boxwave.com/products/desktopcradle/htc-herald-desktop-cradle_2434.htm
(also some nice screen protectors from the same site)
Don't know about the rubber feet of the Wing through...
this one is cheaper, fits the wing better (has hole for wing's rubber usb port cover), and you can order it & get it in 3 days...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190151821791
Yes, it´s cheaper, but the shipping costs are heavy ... about 23$ up to 30 ...
well u look at the total cost, even after shipping it's still cheaper than the alternative.
Found 255 faceplate/covers for WING
Search on ebay, wing, under cellphone faceplates and covers and you will see an auction where a guy has 255 designs to choose from and you get to pick three.
Here is regular one (Model WINGCR)

also,
Here is one with extra battery charging slot in rear (Model WINGCR2-MDASP-HTCCG)
http://www.igonemobile.com/product.aspx?tab=3&m=721&p=15286
Both $30 + Shipping...

Found this car mount for the G1. As opposed to the universal ones which are significantly bulkier and honestly dont look that good. This one is sleek and will let you open the G1 to keyboard mode without undocking he phone.
I've ordered it. I'll let you know in a few weeks
Any updated?
This thing looks great and cheap!
Nope. Thats the downfall with getting things from HK off Ebay. Takes forever.
I will post a review maybe take some pictures. I really hope it lets me open the screen and use it full out.
this is what i got :

True!!
Both of those are a custom fit for the G1, but notice the design of them. You can't use the car charger while the phone is in the mount. The 'clip' is covering the charger port.
This one is designed to allow you to charge the G1 while it is in the mount:

Do you own this? I assume you can open the G1 while its in the holder? And is it sturdy/work well? Held in place alright and whatnot?

I don't own one 'yet' because the site says it will be available around 12/30. Looking at the pic, it doesn't seem to interfere with the operation of the phone... meaning you can still slide it open as well as charge it.
I've decided to make a 'temporary' dock for my G1 until the one above is available. I used the back portion of a clear cover that I had laying around. I figured I would put it to some use since I had it!
Here are a few pics:
I got this one to use in my car and love it! Charger fits in and it can be rotated in any direction. Plus you can move it from car to car without messy window rings. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UGMTKC/ref=oss_T15_product

That was a great idea. I got the cheap one off ebay and the cover does block the charge port. I am going to do a little dremel tooling on it to see if I can make it better. If not I will buy a couple of the cheap cases off ebay and try your mod.
The Ebay one also completely blocks the speaker. I will cut a hole for that too.

You can never go wrong with a dremel tool!! I didn't know that those ebay holders cover up the speaker too. It kinda makes the phone useless while its in there. I got the idea for the one I made off the proclip website. Rather than spending $30 bucks for theirs, I just made my own! I popped the trim off from around the heater/radio and used 3M double sided tape to secure the metal bracket that I bent to shape. Then used another piece of 3M to secure the back portion of the clear cover to the bracket. Of course, I put the 'Dual' sticker on there just for kicks!!!
I got myself a ProClip G1 mount.

It is a little pricey but the build quality is great and has a swivel mount. And yes you can open the screen and access the keyboard while mounted. Only downside (besides the price) is that you have to remove the rubber dust cover from the mini-USB charging port on the G1/Dream. I was kind of ticked off when I found this out after ordering it but I have been without it for quite a while now and haven't had any problems. I usually carry this G1 in my pocket and sometimes on my holster (when my work G1 isn't on me).

So I didn't see anyone comment on this yet. But I went ahead and bought this due to the decent price and what appeared to be the ability to open it while mounted.
So the answer is definitely "yes" to everything I wanted from it.
Yes, it does allow you to open the screen while mounted.
Yes, the clip does hold the phone very well and it is pretty easy to put and remove the phone with one hand.
Yes, you can plug in a charger while mounted and you don't have to remove the little charger door to use it.
Yes, there is a hole in the back so the speaker/camera is exposed so I guess you could record video, or take pictures while driving if that is something you wanted to do. Also, the microphone on the bottom is not blocked in case you want to just use speakerphone while mounted.
Yes, it feels very solid and well made. It says it "Made in Germany" on all of the parts which makes me feel good. "The German's make good stuff!"
Yes, The body clip itself does come off the arm so you could in theory use this for a different phone assuming you can get just the body clip online.
No, you cannot use this with anything other then a regular sized battery/door. (hopefully this was obvious)
Overall, for $20-$25 (depending on shipping), this is an awesome mount for your G1. I haven't actually tried mounting it on my window yet but the big suction cup (~3 inches wide) with the pull lever thing look like they will work great.

I order this one and finally got it.
It doesn't seem to fit in the way the picture is. The picture shows the "big" tab at the bottom. The problem with this is that it covers the hole for the charger. Also for me it doesn't quite fit so the top tab doesn't clip on to anything and doesn't hold the phone.
If I put it in upside down then the small tab doesn't cover the hole for the charger and it seems to fit nice an snug. But when it is in upside down you can no longer slide it open as the bigger tab is clipped onto the front. That is no big deal for me any ways as I don't plan on opening it while it is in the holder in the car.
the perfect mount/ who needs a navigation system
I also went to g1depo.com and got the windshield mount, it arrived four days early and yes to all the major questions. Opening capability, charger connection, speakerphone/camera hole, and it is also sturdy and well made "German" to be exact. and only 25.00 with shipping. Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to burst your bubble but.....
http://www.shop4tech.com/item8622.html
$6 shipped and it fits the G1 perfectly (yes I actually have one). It's a universal design so it's plenty adjustable. Even if it's not as pretty as some it does the job for a fraction of the price.

thats nice and everything, wonderful price...but uuhh...its intended purpose are for navigation devices, although it may have no problem holding, I don't think it would allow all of the g1 usage in dock such as rotating landscape/portrait, opening/closing keyboard, charging with dual 3.5 headset jack/usb extention.
Are there any good carmounts that fit a g1 with the extended battery back cover?
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

Arkon's XL-Armband fits the Sensation. I have one with the Incipio NGP case and it fits with the case on.
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.

If ordered the AirDock (www.theairdock.com) directly in the USA. You can also pre-order at MobileFun.de hassle-free with respect to German Customs control. I've got another one from Amazon, but I don't like it (and forgot the name).

That looks neat but the g3 doesn't have the magnets necessary to hook on correct?
There is no need for magnets, the AirDock has some kind of microfoam which "sucks" the Phone to to dock. It works with every clean and even surface. However, with the AirDock comes a self adhesive sticker with little pieces of metal in it you can stick inside the battery cover. This is then some kind of waistbelt and braces. I did'nt use it so far.
If you have a look at their website there is an FAQ with a video showing how to use it and what's in the box.

Just wondering if the metal would interfere with nfc. This is the reason I went with the groove 'n snap instead of their one with the magnet.
Well I ordered, we'll see how it works out!
So how did it go then? I'm also considering this for my lg g3
Looks like Tylt is releasing a wireless car charger soon. Pricey, $80 but bet you will be able to get this at discount shortly there after. Have their Vu desk charger and it works great.

Just got my ultra today. I also got 2 cases delivered. Both of these cases neither one of them has a cutout for the charging dock ports. i have the dock and obviously want to use a case that i can use on the dock.
can anyone recommend a hard or tpu type case that will meet my needs? no idea why these cases wouldn't have the proper cutouts
I've just bought an Incipio Watson case which also doesn't have a cut-out for the magnetic connector.
I plan to spend two minutes this evening with a craft knife fixing the problem!

yeah, i was hoping it wouldn't come to that but i guess it may. it seems the only case i can find online with the proper holes ships from china.
can't get anything from amazon now with the proper holes shipped quickly, i bought what they had. sucks.

You could try the Nillkin fresh series. I didn't really like the plastic back but what i like is the screen cover and that it has a cutout for the magnetic charging port.
Unfortunately, just because a case has the cutout, doesn't mean it works. this is the one I've got and while it fits in the DK30 dock (with the bigger inlay), the problem is that the dock has the phone sitting at an angle and I can't get the magnet to "grip".
I tried my best modding the thing to fit, didn't work out. So good luck with yours, please report back if you've been lucky enough to find something that works.
I also use the magnetic charging port for charging. I found the following TPU case. I purchased one in smoke, and liked it so much I then purchased another one in black. Works great. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the info on the case, I have the same case that I bought more by luck than judgement when I bought my Z ultra.
Please could you let us know if the case works with:
A.) The official magnetic dock
B.) A magnetic charging cable
C.) Both of the above
Cheers,
Rob
Rob, this case works with the charging cable. I'm not sure if it works with the charging dock as I don't own one. I hope this is (somewhat) helpful.
Good luck,
Josh
Thanks Josh, I'm going to order a cable for my shiny new toy
Cheers,
Rob
After dropping my beautiful phone and getting the corner peeled I decided to look for this exact combo; a case with a charging dock connection cut out that works with a magnetic cable. As you guys already know the charging port flap becomes pretty flimsy after a while and I did not want to risk it breaking.
After much trial and error I found a combination that works.
This cable:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magn...agnetic-USB-cable-charger-for/1708094470.html
Works perfectly with this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NILLKIN-Ult...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item1e945842a2
The Nillkin case itself is pretty good but I'm also pretty sure that this cable will work with other cases that have a similar cutout. The magnetic connection from the cable is not that strong but gets the job done.
Thanks for post a working combo

Looks better than the $2 ones. How much bend does this have? How soft vs rigid?
