Lesson learned, it looks like it was for the HTC Touch Pro 2. Dangit....Just wanted to share with you guys to make sure you get one that fits your particular model.
There seems to be a problem with vendors understanding the T-Mo TP2 has a different form factor than the Euro version. I am returning my cradle for the same reason. Be careful when buying an accessory that it will fit your US model. First time I have seen this problem with phones. Your TP2 is a special device ... I like mine very much. Pity that we have to be the ones to tell them their products don't fit our phones...

Where did you get it?
same here, got one from a seller in HK for 6 bucks shipped to US
doesn't fit.
anyone wants the TP2 case made for non tmobile tp2 can send me a PM, pay for shipping and it is yours.

this is the one i got.
It's because the T-Mobile "Touch Pro 2" isn't really a Touch Pro 2 like you can get from everywhere else, it's a slightly-altered version.
Thank T-Mobile. This way, you can get all your accessories direct from them! How great will that be! It really is better for everyone.

i almost bought that one, but i didn't because we don't have the front camera, so that hole made me suspicious.
only T-mobile have the entire phone remodeled... sort of
while Sprint/Telus versions widened the bottom end where they added a 3.5mm jack, so some of the rubber cases won't fit
However I just recently ordered a slide-in pouch from pdair which SHOULD work on ALL TP2s... because it's just it... a pouch... no fitting needed, just enough space to slide the phone in... or any other thing that has the same dimension... sort of
this one by the way:

I hate those case for slide up phones. The phone is already big as it is. With that case it will add weight and size to it.
I decided to use my phone just the way it is and get a hip case (EASECASE ) and call it a day. I will try and be VERY careful not to drop it.
i just bought a gel case from tmobile for 12 bucks. it adds a couple mm to the overal size of the device but it feels good in the hands and isnt slippery like the phone with out it. the only color they had was black and its not on they're website, only in the stores right now. i am quiet pleased with it.

lol, i am using mine with my tmobile dash (c720) case (with belt clip)
Man Thanks alot for being the guinea pig, SORRY no intent to insult you but I almost bought the pdair case. They are nice and alot of people have said good things about them. I was one click away from purchasing the case for my T-mobile touch pro 2 and i stumbled upon your thread. Its a shame that we are so limited to what we can put this beast in. I currently have my procilla ( thats what I call her lol) in my old sprint mogul ppc 6700 case.

Accessories from T-mobile!? ROFLMAO!
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/dash-genie-in-car-holder-p23796.htm
Has anyone used this with Touch Pro2?
According to HD2 forums - works fine with their unit - but am wondering if any owners of Touch Pro2 have tried this?
Thanks/DD
I'd like to know this as well. I can't find it available to ship anywhere to the USA... :-(
Ha! It is so simple and universal. I want this
I second that.
I don't think it will work well with the tilt 2 because you need to have a smooth back to the phone, and the speaker on the tilt 2 would likely prevent a good seal. Also, it doesn't appear to swivel for landscape viewing, which is a major drawback.
Anyone find something else that swivels but holds the phone so that the keyboard can come out?
Can only find it in the UK. Have posted several requests for shipping to the US. I'll let ya'll know when I hear something.
=====
Found this on one of the sites:
"Mobile Fun Limited is VAT registered...
Goods cannot be supplied outside the EU (European Union)."
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally found a shipper who sells these and ships outside the EU!!!!!!!!!

I don't know where you're from, but here in Europe I've found this:
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=188270
I'm thinking of buying one for me also.
Cheers.
I'm from the states, and most places wouldn't sell outside the EU.
OK, I just got the Dash Genie from Superetrader.com and so far my wife and I really like it! I will probably have to order another one just for her (even though she didn't want one at first, I think she plans on taking mine over!!!!!)
If any one was thinking about getting one, DO! I think the ones offered in the states are too bulky and ugly, but this is one sllek model. You'll like it, too (in my opinion!).
I've been using a brodit mount : http://www.brodit.com/images/512163.jpg which I've found brillant, charges, can be used in both vertical and horizontal, and can also be used with the keyboard, price is a bit high at about £40, but can be found on e-bay from time to time.

Nice catch aasoror.... Docks are becoming more and more difficult to get lately. Even if purchasing in bulk if make sure they are physically in stock. Nothing worse than trying to order subverting only to find out your waiting even longer!

Merimobiles.com has the dock for 45 shipped. I got mine in two weeks and it works great.

2.3 Upgrade from Viewsonic support [With Jailbreak]
I know this probably a moot point on a ROM loader site, but I just bought a jailbreak and 2.3 upgrade for my G Tablet, which leaves the warranty intact. It is coming from their 3rd party support company, U.S. Merchants.
They helped me through some problems with Tap-n-Crap. In fact, this jailbreak also removes any constraints on where I can shop. Bye-Bye Amazon and Handango, [I could never get Handango to work]
The ROM upgrade cost $90, but at least the warranty is still good. Maybe when it is out, I will be more adventurous. btw, they were selling the dock for $49.
Regards,
Sre
Would you mind posting a little more info as to the 'jailbreak' you received?
For example, when you go to settings and tablet info what does it say?
If be interested to know if they've cooked their own ROM (which they shouldn't have charged you for) our of the they've sold someone elses?
I'm guessing others would like to know as well.
Thanks for letting us know about this....
Intriguing.
...sent from my 'un-stock' g2x
I don' know anything about Roms but I would like to know a little more about that jailbreak thingy too. Like where does one order that stuff from too.

Will this work with cases that we have already? For example, it just replaces the existed door, right? Doesn't add any more thickness so we can't use the existing cases we have? Thanks in advance. I'm asking because I read the reviews on the BestBuy site and two of them say that it does add bulk slightly. Just don't want to buy this thing and then find out it's a matter of using this and not being able to use my existing case with it.

Not 100% as I don't have one yet, but I think it might add some additional thickness. So my guess is you will need new case. Maybe someone who purchased already can answer this better than me.

There's one listed on 23rd street and 6th ave here in the City. I was going to go and buy it in person and try it with the tough case I bought a week or so ago already on the phone. Figure I can always return it if they don't have a restocking fee.
Will post more information tomorrow once I check it out.
Thanks for the information, regardless. Much appreciated.

It does add some thickness. Not so much that you will notice it in your hand, but enough that most fitted hard cases will not fit properly. This is a discussion worth reviewing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609406
I went to the BestBuy in 44th and 5th in the City. They're clueless. Two guys with "Samsung Experience Specialists" jerseys or jackets or whatever those zip up things are, the guy kept trying to sell me something COMPLETELY unrelated to what I wanted. Finally I asked him if he had the Qi-compatible charging stand and he said no. Said he only gets "about 2 in a week". I gave up and walked out.

FWIW, I live very close to Best Buy's HQ here in MN. I know a lot of good people employed by them. With BB being a hometown store here I am rarely more than 7 or 8 minutes from a store location wherever I travel in town... That said: I drive past all of them in favor of any competitor, even if I have to go further and/or spend a little more. I do not feel they practice good business ethics as a company, and I do my best boycott them. I do some consulting work, and on occasion am forced to buy a computer component from them. I have had to do this 7 times in the last 10 years, and 5 of those times ended up with a sales person who either lied, or was completely clueless sharing bogus information as fact - in spite of their being the in-store "expert". Good luck to all who shop there, but please don't count on their staff to help educate you on making a sound purchase.
I decided to make a dedicated thread, as in two other threads a few people were interested. Currently, what looks to be the best fitting tempered glass screen protector is available only in Japan. In both black and white. I have no clue on what price we can get, but I will leave this topic up for a week, and if we can get enough people interested, I will contact the manufacturer and attempt to set a deal.
Some links of the screen protector.

@Pilz @Philip @Novakingwai @nicholaschum @mmessina @SilentO @sesz @mpgolfpro @nlua @Svid @kryptikal @joshm.1219 @De5tr0yer @Dualwave @cadavjo
I'm interested assuming it actually fits the way that it should.
Edit: it looks like the price on their shop is around 32$ USD if you convert the currency. That's not bad if it works plus it looks nice. Its too bad iloome never came around and made one just like this.
I'd register an interest, but (1) I'd like to know whether it actually works - all we have to go on so far is the advertising material, and (2) I'm based in the UK, so a shipped-to-US deal doesn't help me.
If somebody on here could try one and confirm that it works, and they would ship to the UK (or ideally worldwide, given the global nature of this forum) then I'd certainly buy one.

No one is able to get just one, and if they ship to US we can forward to UK no problem. Currently, unless we find someone who lives in Japan and has an N6, willing to buy one to review it.. We have to trust the advertised video. However, I have never been disappointed with any products coming from Japan.. The Chinese knock-off.. well I wouldn't trust, although someone purchased one and will write a review once it arrives.
Just read the Chinese knock off is plastic, too bad I ordered it already...very disappointed
In for black one. We need this.

That sux.. Do let us know more when you receive it though.
I'm interested in this. When would the trigger be for the order? After we reach XX interests?
I'd be in for one possibly two
I'm hoping this will work out and not be sh*tty because that would make a lot of people unhappy. I wonder if there is a way they can send a sample over for someone to test if we are doing a large order.
