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.
I have this one:

Has anyone gotten a look at the Best Buy case that comes free with the Note pre-order?
I was wondering if there is a screen protector included. I'm going to assume there is none unless someone has seen one.
Assuming it's the same as the international (which I believe it is), I don't see a screen protector.

Thanks for the link, that was the worst review ever, but it was good to see what I'm getting. It looks very similar to the pics on BB. I really want a rugged case(i.e. Ballistic, Trident, Otterbox). But I'll take what I can get.
NFC
Does anyone know if NFC will work with this case on?

That's a very good question as it seems the nfc antenna is located in the back cover. I doubt it will work.

Best Buy rep
I stopped by best buy and asked the rep if the case would support NFC she looked at me like a deer in headlights and had no idea what NFC was she got another rep and asked him and he said NFC is on the Note but does not work yet I I told him I knew that already and wanted to know if the free case worked with NFC since the antenna for it is on the back of the case that comes with it he had no idea and asked his manager 15mins later the manager came out and said he had no idea yet he would think it would but could not say for sure since they aren't here yet he tried to find more info on his computer but found nothing so Best Buy doesn't even know yet the free case isn't turning out to be that much of a plus anymore.
The fact it's a flip case basically eliminated any interest I might have had in the BB deal for the Note. I can understand having a flip case for a tablet....but for a phone, I would find it as a hassle. I'm still gonna settle for a regular case, most likely a TPU one.

We got no info on the actual flip case from corporate. It was a deal struck with samsung and bby corporate and has nothing to do with the retail level associates. Right now they are sitting in a warehouse waiting for distribution. Im sure they will be in before release. If they are there by wednesday I can give everyone a definite answer. After that Im on vacation
I doubt these were made for the ATT model. If they are the ones that were already made, it will not work as the nfc is not in the back like the ATT model.
One the bright side it was free and nfc is not yet enabled.

Same here. Flip case with a pen device just screams of the original Palm PDA devices.
No way I can bring myself to use one of those again.
Best Bbuy Mobile
The people at Best Buy Mobile are way beter than the people at Best Buy they let me know my Note was in although the free Flip case was not they still could not tell me if it has the NFC contacts on it since they have not seen them but were very nice even though I have been pestering them for days guess I just have to wait and see don't know if I should get a case off internet that has the NFC contacts or wait till the free flip case is in

The best buy case does in fact support nfc. However I tried to download Google wallet and it said its not a supported device :-( I knew this would happen but still sad. But yes I love my note and the case beat buy gave me with it!

I played with one at AT&T for about 20 minutes today and I really didn't like the flip case on it. It felt very cheap. I've played with another one from someone's international Note and it was much sturdier. I hope the one Best Buy gives out is more solid, but I got a feeling its not.

Felt like cheap cardboard to me. Like I could have easily bent or snapped it. The one I played with for the international note had hard plastic and looked nice as well. Hopefully the best buy one will be like the international one and not the cheap crap I saw at the AT&T store.
Looking to get a docking station for my Evo... I've found a few that are listed on this site... But it seems like all of them say "Does not initiate dock mode"... Are there any that do? Would like to hear opinions on them... Don't use a case, so thats not an issue. But would like dock mode and also to be able to watch Netflix and charge at the same time....

I just bought this one..... http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlinestore/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=77
Works out pretty well so far, fits with or without a case
I have been wondering which is the best myself, I think I am going to just order the Hyperion model.
Thanks guys... Looking like the one you linked doesn't support Dock mode... Still on a quest to find one that does...
Have anyone tried one of these here? Do they feel nice? Battery lasts as long as an OEM? Do they look too bulky? Makes the phone too thick? Thats one of the reasons why i haven't bought an extender battery, i hate how the phone looks with an extender battery. I can't find much feedback on internet for the GS2 with that case. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Universal for all GS2's ?
No thanks. wont fit correctly. gs2's are NOT the same size. the difference is minimal, but with cases, even a mm difference will cause an improper fit.

Hmm. Where does it says universal? It says i777, i9100 & i9103. Which to my knowledge, they are the same size...
Another concern that i have is that the thing won't cause more heat, because an external battery causing heat plus an internal one causing more heat...well, you see where im going.

Man, u just answered ur own question about the whole universal thing. And he just told u that there is a size difference. Not a huge difference, but enough to make cases not fit the phones.
(⊙＿⊙)
I see. By universal i thought he meant ALL GS2, which includes Skyrocket and Hercules.
Anyway, difference is that the i777 is .4mm thicker and .7mm taller. Acording to GSMArena.

Lol. Being there. Just posted in a entry on Android Central about "my" Atrix 4G being stuck on GB forever, but i don't have the phone anymore. Got a little passionate there.
So you guys think it wont work? Is there an extended battery that wont require an "extended" battery door?

I wouldnt try it unless they have a very open return policy. Hell even then, Im not a fan of "universal"
And no, for an extended battery, the battery has to be larger, for that will require another door.
unless someone has found a way to pack the cells tighter without straining the battery. That IDK. but I will say that batteries have came along way in the recent years.
Check out LiPo batteries if your curious. tho there not for phones yet.

May i ask why?
Just thought i'd chime in on this after browsing through the threads. I've had the opportunity on 2 separate occasions to compare the ATT GS2 and International GS2 side by side with several different cases. I live in the US and I have the i777.
First occasion I was in Venice, Italy. was in a Ferrari shop and found an awesome flip case for my GS2. was concerned about it fitting. They let me take it out and test it first. The employee had the intn'l GS2. They both fit into this case exactly the same. It was a snap in. I bought the case. it's very nice. Ferrari leather and logo, smells nice (lol!)
Also, I am a teacher. This year I have an exchange student from Germany that has the International. Again, I compared cases and phones. They all fit identically. I have not see this case in person, but if I thought I needed it, the worry of it fitting would not deter me from getting it.
my two cents.
