I was just checking out dmcgrath009 wireless charging thread which is pretty cool, but it got me thinking about all the cases with wireless charging which then lead to a youtube search. This this of course side tracked me from some dude's review of a powermat of the s3 to an iguana farting in a bathtub (best 10 seconds ever) so I checked out powerskin to see if they had something and I found this http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/htc/one-x.php a powerskin for the one x+ and x. So it should fit but the dedicated camera button might interfere and if you can't live without a kickstand you're SOL. I personally like my evo without a case, but if you need more juice here's a maybe solution.
Are the dimensions and charge ports in the exact same place? I was gonna buy the seido one but its not even out yet and this one is 30 less I'd much rather get this if I knew for sure that it'd work

I'm pretty sure it should work, but like I said the dedicated camera button might get in the way. The one x and evo have the same dimensions accord to what I've seen, but they do have a return policy if not. I really don't see a need for it since I go all day on meanrom 6.4, but others might want more juice or aren't rooted and would want more juice so I'm just throwing it out there.
Yea I'm completely stock due to not being tech savy, so my battery life isn't great, I'm a pretty heavy user as well
Anyone try this yet? I would definitely buy this if I knew it would fit!!!
Sweet. I'm interested in this. But waiting for someone with a bigger wallet than me to test it first....

Its not about having it. I dont trust it enough to spend $40. If i made i made double the money i do now i probably wouldnt care about $40. Its just my mentality man
I thought the x and x+ use the contact pins on the back to charge the battery. If that's the case, no way it will work with the LTE.

If you look at the pictures you can see it uses the side micro port. There are no pins inside the case. I might bite the bullet and try this.

The seidio version utilizes the pins but not this one.

i compared my EVO Lte to a One X the other nioght when i stopped by frys.. the charging port seems to be in the correct place but the "volume up-down" rocker on the one x seems to sit about a half inch lower... so im not sure it will work without some modification..
For $80 bucks you think they could make the area where the charging port is flush-er, it looks like a 90 degree plug with a cord. I'll pass and see what I can do with my old touchstone.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
This one actually does use the pins in the back I've already seen it. It has two contact pins in the back that connect to the one xs charging plates. The micro USB port is wat charges the battery inside the case.
It will NOT work for the LTE.

Looks good! Not like the Seidio cover (yuk). I will post more when I receive mine in the mail and run a comparison.
Not bad for 27.99 if the battery is what its advertised at.
UPDATE 10/3/11
Received a replacement from Gorilla Gadgets due to battery contact issues and a cracking cover...BE WARNED, THE NEW REPLACEMENT IS A "Wedge" COMMON TO THE eBay SPECIALS! THE BATTERY IS ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER (in size) BUT A STICKER PULL REVEALS 1650x2 = 3300MAH (less than advertised!) NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!
Man I don't like that hump at all!
I still think that the eBay extended battery doors look the best.

Glad you hit me up on GTalk bro!
Yea I'm not a fan of the Seidio door or price tag either. The battery though is probably the best extended available. Seidio battery with eBay door would be the setup that I would like.
I didn't use my extended battery for my Evo 4G enough for me to justify buying one for the 3D though. I have 2 Galilio 2000mah ( more like 1300mah) already and 2 Anker 1930mah on the way. I'll just keep a couple extra batteries with me if I ever think I'll be away from a charger long enough to need one. I'm using WTSB 1.3 Rom and get around 20 hours Up and 8 hours Awake with my normal usage. That is more than enough for me 95% of the time..
I have a car charger in each of my 3 vehicles, a wall charger and dock at home, and a wall charger at work. Very rarely do I need more battery life than 1 full charge.

I read that as well but the person didnt back up how they know it was only 2600mah. Only way to tell is to pull stickers or test.
It is ugly, but compared to the "door wedge" from Seidio and the fact that I can put my TPU case on it (with a little modification) its a winner for me. I have the cheapo eBay cover coming as well with the "no chance in hell" 3500mah battery. Pics will follow!
http://www.expansys.com/expansys-extended-battery+back-cover-for-htc-evo-3d-3400-mah-220468/
Just ordered one of these from Expansys UK, it looks exactly the same as the Gorilla, without the branding sticker, I will be interested to see if it is the reported 3400mah especially for £11.99!
I actually like the gorilla backing. It looks better than all I've seen so far. At least the whole thing is not a brick.

It will NOT work with any case on the phone. It's designed by HTC to fit just the phone. Gel cases are pretty easy to get on and off.

Yes, and so does the display, unless you turn the screen off by hitting the power button. I usually leave my screen and buttons off when it's docked next to my bed (I don't like light when I sleep).

That's really odd. When you say lights, do you mean the backlight to the buttons? Others have mentioned that too - but my button lights stay off whether in dock mode or otherwise.
I've seen this both running stock - and right now I confirmed it with my evo rooted and running Olympus ROM.
Hello, I've been looking around and I'm trying to find something that will charge my rezound's battery through an external source with out it being plugged into my phone.
So something like this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd3-bcsi3htmec-bk.htm
The reason for this is because I have two standard batteries so I can swap a battery out whenever it dies. The problem with this is that I can't keep one charged at all times.
The seidio one looks good but can anyone find one that is cheaper than $30? I don't really care for brand as long as it works.

The thunderbolt and rezound extended batteries are the same just different colors (I own both phones).
I have the one from Amazon listed above. In the reviews you will see a few people stating their battery did not fit. The charger I received fits the Rezound battery perfectly. I also have two standard batteries and use this at home and in my car to charge both.

Yes these are awesome. I used one with my OG EVO for a while with the glue on magnet on the back of a seidio case. They get a little pricey. They sell them and have them on display for testing at Frye's electronics if you live anywhere close to one. They are built well and use a powerful magnet. I would definitely get one if I wasn't getting the dock.
I really wanna see 1 in action before I buy 1. I have heard great things tho.
I thought about getting the dock that sprint has but my buddy just got it and it scratched his phone. So I don't think I'm gonna now.

If you live anywhere near a Frye's I know they have them on display. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awh6QP8-BBE This is a pretty good review. The X arms on the X-way allow the phone not to rotate freely unless you choose to do so (if you go over a bump it won't go from portrait to landscape, but you can rotate it with ease by hand) unlike the free mount. The magnets are super strong and they won't weaken over time.
I know a few people have pulled theirs off on purpose. My puppy chewed mine off and it irritates me not being there now. I had been looking to replace it and found this:

I always try to play nice with my phones. I hated that cover from day one but as always played nice (didn't rip or cut it off) but the day it fell off, I picked it up and put it in original box I also kept. My HTC incredible 1 and my HTC thunderbolt both made it till next upgrade with out that cover. Reminds me of those port covers on the older dumb phones that never really had a purpose but to make the port weaken over time, then go bad and phone quit charging. Not worth replacing at any price. But good luck to you if you really feel you need one!

They may fall off "easily", but I have no use for the USB port right now anyway since I'm using a wireless charger... there are always ways to work around the USB cable to transfer files as well. Not sure why so many people look down on people who want to keep their flap intact...

It may depend on how you rip it out. Mine was already removed, but it seems to be cut and the rubber end in the phone is staying put and does not make any noise. I'd take your cover if you do get rid of it though

I would like to know if it really does keep water out as well, it says the phone is water resistant, but could that little plastic piece really hold back anything? FYI mine has been taken off as well so annoying to use i just said screw it and ripped it off one day. Haven't looked back since
For those of you that have replaced this rubber port cover, how easy/difficult was this process?
To replace the cover, you have to take off the entire back. The little port cover isn't held on by anything though, it just sits between the phone and the plastic backing. Unless you're an expert at taking unibody phones apart, it's not worth it because I broke the waterproof seal strip during the process. It was glued on.
Looks like you can get one for $6.80 here w/ free shipping
