Just got a new Evo 4G LTE after my trusty OG 4G usb port broke this weekend. I got the Sprint Car Dock and trying to find a case that works with it. The description on the case says it fits 'most' cases but doesn't have any tested cases listed. I tried the Otterbox Defender case and it was just a bit too thick in the middle to fit into the case.
For those that have this dock, what case are you using?

Any TPU case should work. I'm using one of the cruzerlite androidify TPU cases. And it still had lots of wiggle room so I added the included foam pads in to make it fit perfectly.
the Otterbox Comuter series worked ok. i like the car dock. Works real good. and that new car dock interface is awesome
The Dizitronic TPU case works. The Ventev Edge case DOESN'T work in the car dock.

Does that unit have the flap over the usb port like the defender case? If so, what did you do about it?

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!
I'm surprised there are so few accessories out for this phone so far. I am usually able to find a holster and have it onhand before I have the actual phone, but not this time unfortunately. I got the one from Sprint for now that has the case and slide in belt holder but I strongly prefer the spring clips like the ones Seidio makes and bestbuy carries.
Has anybody been able to find a belt clip for the Photon yet aside from the one sprint has? i couldn't even find a generic one available at all. I'm so used to the spring clip holster that i've almost dropped my phone multiple times already
I'm currently using the Otterbox Defender and its a solid case that comes with an adjustable belt clip. Here is a link to the manufacturer's site: http://tinyurl.com/otterboxphoton

Put it in your pocket and not be a goober with a belt clip.
i modded (a peice of velcro) the innocase holster from my evo 4g and it fits great. I think it has to do with the fact the photon is taller than the evo 4g.

I find it inconvenient to remove it from my pocket 200+ times a day when i can just snap it in and out of a holster much quicker. So I'll keep on being a goober thank you. If i didn't use my phone a pocket would work awesome though.

So far I am liking the Sprint holster better than the spring clip one I had with my Epic. I broke a screen on my Epic because of the spring clip getting hit and the phone falling out. I don't see that happening with this case.
I'm also liking the sprint holster combo.... It fits in the hd dock with the holster on too!

I'm replacing that holster combo with an Otterbox Commuter, that stupid Sprint case doesn't protect the top or bottom of the phone. In my experience, the phone always ends up falling on uncovered parts head first, so I'm not going to chance it.
not to kick a dead kitten but does anyone know if this holster combo from sprint will fit in the docks with the shield on? there havent been any avail in local stores to test fit with them...
I have both the desktop dock and the car dock systems. If you have the Sprint case/holster combo, you remove inserts from the docks. If you use a "naked" Photon, keep the inserts in the docks. I really like these docks...they work really really well.
Can't wait for the "lapdock" to hit the market. That's gonna be sweet.
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.

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.

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?

I bought my dad a side clip holster from siedioonline and he was ecstatic with it.
Even I loved it, and I really dislike holsters in general.
