I had contacted ProClip about the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE mount and they contacted me back today to tell me it was available now. Awesome I love ProClip I already ordered it.

Danggit. I have a thin jelly case on my EVO 4G LTE, but I really want to get the integrated power supply and still keep the case on. Oh, boy, I think I'm gong to have to ditch it and get a clear skin in order to use the ProClip doc. I have the car attachment, since I used it for the original EVO 4G. I just need to get the phone mount and not the car mount.

If the new one are anything like the ones i've used for my touch pro, tp2 and evo (which they look like), then you're going to have the clear skin peeling off it in no time as the mount itself has very tight tolerances.
These things are monsters at stability, only downside being they're designed only for naked devices.

Do you all usually get the vehicle mount with these as well? Looks like that may be the only way for them to be mounted.
This is the case I have a mount already myself

Ordered... thanks!!! It says it has its own charging port, too. By the looks of it it should be pretty nice.
Just picked mine up from the Sprint store. It's fantastic. It feels durable, has a removable slot sizing piece so it can accommodate phones with cases, and it comes with a disc for dash mounting if you don't want to window mount it. I love it!
Is this the official one made by HTC? Like the official one for the EVO 4G?
Yeah it is. I saw it today when I picked my phone.
It's really nice. I held off for now though. I've already bought like three cases and want to get a nice sd card...it adds up

Think an Otterbox Commuter would fit in there once the insert is removed... and still charge the phone?

Yes I will fit and charge the phone too
no Otter box will fit in this car dock, the body glove case is too big it barely goes in at all and it's thinner than the Otterbox defender and commuter by a long shot.
The ones sprint are selling doesn't have the adjustment knob to adjust the mount up and down, it only has the tilt ball adjustment. On Igrips web site theirs shows an adjustment knob at the top of the arm to tilt it up and down and sprints have identical clips on both sides with no knob, making it a bit difficult to get it exactly where you want it

No it's made by iGrip, not HTC. Just picked it up in the store. I'ts not like the HTC Evo 4G dock at all. This still seems nice though and about $20 cheaper if I remember correctly.
From the bottom of the box
Sunction mount and vehicle disc made in Germany
Vehicle Dock made in china.

http://www.igrip.us/ Here it is on their page. The mount itself is seperate from the part that holds the phone so in theory for your next phone you could just buy the phone holder and pay less.
Edit: it does put it into car mode though.
The Commuter kinda fits.. if you press down it will charge, but it won't stay that way, you also need to remove the soft USB cover (fine by me)..
It's so close to fitting perfectly I think I'm just gonna dremel it a bit at work on Monday..
I have always used Brodit cradles for all my devices over the last few years. I find them reliable, very strong and easy to put together.
For some reason Brodit havent released a cradle for this device yet - has anyone got any ideas where i can get one that is for vents?
thanks

There are a few on ebay in the $12-15 range and some on Amazon in the $25 range. I just did a search for Samsung 7.7 vent mount.
sorry - for got to mention - i already bought one from ebay - that is the problem - hence my post
the ones on ebay are flimsy, lowsy horrible things...make sure you dont buy one. the ball and socket which allows it to swivel lost its stiffness after about 10 minutes of use and i just took it off. also the connection to the vent is weak at best. the connection to the actual plastic is so weak that when I turned a corner once the thing fell out!
i had a galaxy tab 7 inch and the brodit cradle for that was nice and solid - you would have to tug hard to move it anywhere - also the ball and socket was adjustable by just making the screw tighter

U r a legend! I been checking that site for months and gave up last week!
Always the way!
Hmm I've bought the official car mount already,
and i'm waiting it to arrive...
Just wondering, what's the advantage of car vent compared to car mount?
isnt' carmount more universal? because with this you have to choose clips specific to your car?
Very tempting, the good is that for my car, Dodge Caliber, there two options, the vent and center console, i might go with the center console option
Edit: i went to the US retailer website but they do not have the tab holder listed yet only the one for the original tab, but they do have the vent and center console mount, the mount is $29.99 a bit much and i wonder how much will be for the tab holder.

It's not available in the US on the ProclipUSA website. Didn't know brodit and Proclip were somehow associated. Always bought Proclip, thinking it was designed and made in the USA? Maybe it is.
Whatever the case, I just called Proclip, it will be available in the USA next week, they'll send me an email about it. Can't order it right now.

thats good, please keep us updated
Finally got mine and it sits solid as a rock to the left of my HTC sensation XE!! sweeeet!!
bluetooth straight to audio my JVC AVX55 stereo!!! while the htc goes to the handseat bluetooth
I agree that Brodit mounts are superb - I got mine - Brodit Passive Car Cradle Holder Tilt Swivel for Samsung Nexus S (#511227) from Amazon UK. It is rock solid.
My Brodit from Proclip arrived Thursday. Its really nice. I originally had a ram mount in my truck for the Motorola xoom. The Proclip is nice but I ordered the console mount instead of the vent mount for Toyota 2005 Tacoma. I'm using the console mount piece as a cable organizer and just bolted the pro clip backing to the Ram mount fitting since the holes matched. I am hoping to post pictures and review soon.
Ok so yeah real easy question i guess we might not know for another 2 weeks but like i already ordered most of my accessories ahead of time Im down to the Car dock.
I currently have the OGEvo and use the htc car dock every day. Literally, If the phone is not in my hand it is in the dock.
I understand they have the same general size but I am wondering if the E4GLE is the same shape and if it fits in the HOX Car Dock?
***Update
So Engadget updated its review of E4GLE and they said "shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter." Soooo...
That means that the E4GLE should fit nicely into the HOX car dock. Even better with full body skin it should still fit without problem. Which was an issue with my OGEvo dock, cause the official dock would rub off the top part of body skin.
Im ordering my Dock.
www.engadget.com
Don't know if I would risk it. I love my OG htc evo dock, but with the charging port on the side, its gonna be a little different setup, maybe more like moto docks. I am just gonna wait for the official dock.
I would keep an eye:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7878.htm
there, That is the Car Dock that I have for my HTC Evo 4G. Works great. They made one for the EVO 3D as well that had the side charge port. So I don't see why they won't have a new one for the LTE.
Will
I have also pre-ordered the E4GLE, yet I almost didn't because I have been unable to get information from Sprint or HTC on the dock. I do not the the dimensions of the One X are almost identical, a millimeter off on the width. So it may fit but it's still a gamble.
I use the car dock on my Nexus One every day. My phone is my nav and I can't really justify not having an OEM made car dock. If nothing is announced by launch day I may have to return the E4GLE and get the One X, even though I'd rather have the E4GLE.
Update!
B-)
shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter.
I dunno about the official dock, but i've bought vehicle specific mounting plates from proclip and then combined it with a slipgrip car mount from ebay with great results, just had to run wires for a 3.5mm/microusb connection for power and music. The slipgrip guy makes docks for certain cases too so i think im going to email him about that.

I swear by ProClips. It will take a while for ProClips to make a car dock until they get one in their hands. And when they do. I just need the phone dock part and not the car dock part.

I'm with ya, it took so long for them to make one for the OG evo that i looked to the slipgrip guy who actually made it for both the seidio innocase as well as the HC ballistic case. He epoxies the holder to whatever interface (suction cup, bike mount, vent mount) but i just asked him in the order to ship the two separate. I then did some modifications to the holder so it would screw in to the pivot joint that comes with the proclip holders, turned out pretty well. If history repeats with seidio's timeline, then i'll just have to do the same for this phone.
Does the LTE Evo not have pegs like the Nexus?
Plugging and unplugging both my OG Evo 4G and Evo 3D from the car dock (both are OEM, every other one I tried was even worse) scratches the living hell out of the power jacks. It's irritating as hell that they don't do audio through the dock as well. I guess with that new bluetooth 4.0 dongle, I won't have to worry about that.
I have the dock for the EVO 3D from Seidio and it also scratches around the charge port. Not much I can do about it:-(

the dock is made by ibolt. I just put mien in this morning. very good feel. they give you some foam pads to level the phone is using with a case with the insert removed. that part was a little cheesy, but actually worked well. pretty happy with it.
so did the OP ever try out the car dock for the one x?
i just ordered one from slipgripcarmounts. they are custom molded so you can leave your case on. does anyone know if there any good? Ill post a review if anyone wants..

Never seen those. I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
How long after this phone is released do you expect it will be before ProClip releases a device-specific holder for it?
I've read nothing but good things about them and want to give them a try this time around, but I'm not sure how long I can go without a car mount (and I certainly don't want to buy a Verizon one just to use for a month or so).
Also, if anyone has any experiences with ProClip products that they'd like to share, please do.
I have had a ProClip holder for my original DInc for the past couple years and it has been great. Hopefully they release one for the Dinc 4G soon after release.

Good to know that you enjoyed yours
I googled around for news stories like "Proclip releases holder for ____X____" and then looked back at the release date for X and found that ProClip's release time seems to be about 2 months (give or take), which is a bummer. I also emailed ProClip and got nothing. I wasn't asking for an exact estimate for this specific phone, just a ballpark of how long it generally takes for new phones... and they couldn't give me anything useful.
I've used Pro Clip holders for my DINC2, Nexus and Razr. Very pleased with them. For my DINC2 I had the HTC suction mount which I hated, but it put phone into car mode automatically. Pro Clip was able to put together a mount that the HTC holder fit perfectly. I bought the DINC 4 today, as well as the car dock ($30) at VZW. This dock fits perfectly onto my older Pro Clip set up. So, if they don't have their own yet, you can buy the VZW (also goes automatically into car mode) and they can easily put together a console mount specific to your vehicle. If you need more info please let me know and I'll give you a contact name.

second this, as long as its not a bulky otterbox. TPU silicone and hard cases should work fine. They also supply little pieces of foam so if your phone is at an angle, you can straighten it out. You'll see what i mean if you get one.

For a cheaper dock the quality is surprisingly good, got mine with the media link back when they had the 2 for 20% off, all in all only paid about a hundred bucks, dock was practically free lol

Amazon has a good one called iOttie
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windshield-INCREDIBLE-BlackBerry-Revolution/dp/B00687N0GK
holds any phone, so it came in handy for me. also they have excellent customer support. mine broke when my daughter knocked it off the counter with my phone in it and they sent me a replacement for free
I think the one that Sprint sells is the closest you'll get to OEM from HTC. Unfortunately, I've ONLY been able to find it in stores and on Sprint's website. Finding it on any other website or eBay is pretty much impossible to find a better price. I like keeping everything OEM, so I'll probably get it when I'm really going to need it.
the one sold by sprint is made from a company called ibolt. They make a generic car dock for the oneX that fits the LTE and the oneX.
http://www.amazon.com/iBolt-Vehicle...?ie=UTF8&qid=1347487055&sr=8-3&keywords=ibolt
that is the one that i'm using right now. works great and its the same price at sprint. i just bought it off of amazon because i had a $50 Amazon gift card so i basically got it for free.

This ARkon mount its the note, it'll fit the Evo with a Ballistic case:
http://www.arkon.com/slimgrip/slimgrip-dashboard-mount-sm578.html
They have window suction and other ones of you don't want the dash version. Best of all, they're mostly under $20.
I ordered an iBolt from Amazon and you can (optional) use it with or without case. All you have to do is remove a piece of plastic from the mount and it fits with case. Its a very sturdy and flexible mount and I recommended it. I think I paid around $25-30. There are cheaper ones out there but you get what you paid for...

I took a trip to the local Sprint store this morning and picked up their car dock and I must say, Im damn impressed at the quality! kind of whack that it doesnt include a charge cable but it is a nice piece for sure. I hightly recommend it :good:
I just got the iBolt version from thecellguru.com & love it so far. $27 after shipping (no tax for those in states that care). Cheapest I was able to find anywhere online (even eBay). They only have it under the OneX compatibility section (probably because that's what it says on the box), but I can attest that it works fine with the EvoLTE. Oh, and no I do not work for them...just dropping a tip to save everyone some $ on a decent accessory.

Sent from my LTEVO
I've been looking at the ibolt. Has anyone used it with an otterbox commuter case? The reviews and description say it can be used with a case, but otterbox has a flap covering the usb port so I don't know how it would work.
I wish they would make one like I had for the og evo. With the cone shaped base and the thin chrome post with ball on each end, and thin minimal plastic clip holding the phone. All so neat and trim. I hate the big boat shape tray on the sprint/ibolt one, especially since my phone has no case, that boat shape is way bigger than the phone and looks ugly. Also the big fat hold-down clip on the top. Ugh.. it all blocks so much more window view than necessary. And of course the blue charging light, yet another unnecessary light on my dash at night.
But it holds the phone securely, charges, and provides a good landscape gps and media player.
I'll have to dig up a pic of my old og evo setup to show what I mean. I think the dock was actually for the hero but it worked on the og evo with a tiny hack just trimming away a small bit of plastic. Looked a hundred times better than the sprint/ibolt. This was definitely one downgrade from upgrading from og evo to evo lte.
