so I've been using the generic ebay evo 3D dock that doesn't have any guide on the side and require one to wiggle the phone around to insert the charge tip into the phone. Getting a bit tire of this, and wanting to buy a new dock.
Does anyone know, beside the Seidio and the new Kidigi HDMI dock (too expensive) any other alternate options for Dock that would work with a case (typical TPU case)?
Yes I searched, there were a few thread discussing docks but no answer to my question.
No, I don't want to use a car dock like iGrip (i use that in my car already)
Thanks
I need a desktop dock and a car dock for my Evo 3D. Any suggestions for a good and cheap dock?
Is there a dock that you can put the phone in and it will charge the phone and also have an audio output on the dock? I don't know if this is possible but if there is one I would like to get it. That way I could connect (and leave connected) some speakers (or the car's aux input) to an audio output on the dock. So I could just drop the phone into the dock and it would charge plus the audio would already be hooked up.
If this isn't possible then I guess just a good desktop and car dock suggestion for cheap (that charge the phone) and will fit with a kickstand case.
Dunno about cheap, look around on pricing, but Kidigi do both a car dock and a desk dock (No idea about the audio bit).

I use the Seidio dock at work and at home. It doesn't have an audio out that I know of, but it works great with my case (also made by Seidio - I'm not sure if you'll have success with a non-Seidio case). If you don't have a case it will work fine, also.
Not sure about a car dock but I know there are several options out there.

How does this work ? Does it use the cigarette lighter as the support ?

Pretty cool, I might actually consider this for my car.
Thanks.

As for home, do you have a link for this Seidio dock? I too have a Seidio case and would like a dock that will work with it.
Hopefully this will work ok. Sending from my phone so it might be wonky:

Sorry bit delayed but yeah it uses the cig lighter for support pretty good, I've got a really stiff head phone jack plugged in so it pulls it a bit and made it a bit loose so rapped some tape round the joint, good for the price.

For me the best dock for Evo 3d Is:

Fitting Car Dock in Germany
Hey Guys,
as I am not allowed to post in the Developer Forum yet,
which slowly get's on my nerves (but I get the reasons for it),
I finally found something to post somewhere else that is not completely meaningless.
Does anybody know where to get one of those "good" car mounts in Germany???
I am looking for something like Kidigi Car Mount Cradle CM-HE3D, iGrip perfectFit Vehicle mount or the Seidio one.
I want something with USB pass-through so I just have to put the Evo in.
Even better if the Camera is not obscured.
The Kidigi one is my favorite. Unfortunately the official reseller cjdirect.de seems not to have it yet (i will call them next week).
Only other way for me would be form the US or HongKong which I wouldn't prefer for reasons like tax, delivery time and so on.
I found it on Amazon.fr for 25 Euro but they won't deliver to Germany.
Then I found it in another French shop where they want 41 Euro because of delivery.
The Seido Innotraveler is available on amazon.co.uk für 37 Euro but I don't like the looks so much.
The iGrip I coulnd't finde at all (in Europe).
So if anyone could help me out and suggest something I would really appreciate it. Else, I guess I will call cjdirect and maybe order one from Hong Kong or France.
Nearly forgot, of course i know about the official HTC car kit but I don't like that either, and for 40 Euro I would rather pay 1 Euro more for Kidigi one or go to Hong Kong. Same with the one from Brodit. Just too expensive.
Thanks
I use this one for my HD2 but with a different mounting part. I dont know whether both cameras are uncovered. http://www.ebay.de/itm/KFZ-Halter-H...alterungen&hash=item3f0facce90#ht_2721wt_1113

Thank you. Looks good but is not quite what i was hoping for.
I don't want to handle any cables when I want to load my phone in the car.
As I could'nt find anything else either I guess I just order the Kidigi mount through ebay from Hong Kong.
Ok, as I am really interested in a good car kit, too, maybe you could share your experience here when you have received the product. I am currently preferring this one http://www.pdamax.de/Zubehoer/HTC/EVO-3D/Kfz-Kit-CU-S520-Halterung-Ladekabel,hz-620:338.html or I will just buy a new cradle and put it on my existing model but it seems the major problem with most of the kits is the cameras not having free sight.
This is the official dock by HTC and due to the camera being obscured and
the high price I decided against it.
I will report about the KiDiGi dock as soon as I receive it.
It is on it's way already but tracking with DHL doesn't work yet (if at all).
have you look at the iGrip car dock?
Yes, thes iGrip dock would have been my second choice.
It has the best reviews of all but as it didn't matter
to me if I order from HongKong or the US I chose Kidigi
for it's looks and it's price.
I also found some reviews about the Kidigi docks for the Desire (I guess), here in the xda forum.
Were quite good too.
For all who are interested, you maybe want to checkout amazon.co.uk
for the Seidio Evo 3D Innotraveler Car Dock (not allowed to post links yet)
High Price but would have been my third choice, still better than HTC one because Camera should be free.
You need credit card though, same as in France for Kidigi.
Choose wisely
Anyone used both the iGrip and HTC car dock? I'd like to know which seems more solid. The obscured cameras don't really matter to me on the HTC one because there's a 99.99% chance I won't be snapping pics while driving.
As far as desk docks, I found this. OEM FTW.

You can find articles comparing HTC and igrip docks. HTC seems more solid, less vibrations, according to them.am on my phone, you can find them through Google.
and the camera is not only for taking pictures, which shouldn't be done too frequently , but for example for navigon reality scanner.
how much vibration come purely down to what mounting solution you use, if you choose a low vibration mount or vehicle specific mount any dock can be rock solid, I have the iGrip but I do not use the included suction mount as I hate having it on the windshield, I use a dash friction pad with a different suction mount that allow me to have it sit in between the instructment panel and the GPS LCD on my RDX, if I use it in my Mazda6 I have a Proclip vehicle specific mount (VSM) and that's super rock solid. I don't know about the HTC, but the iGrip Dock use the Herbert Richter (HR) 4 prong mount system so can use any mount that support the HR system or get a adopter plate, that's what I use in my Mazda with the Proclip, screw the plate onto the VSM and off i go, and if my wife want to use a dock on for her iphone its easy to swap also.
I'm coming over from the Atrix phones which have very good car docks from Motorola (car mode, one cable from the dock that carries power and audio). Do the HTC docks offer the same options or are there better third party docks? Will the One X docks work with the Plus? Thx in advance.
The dimensions are same so i think you can use the one x docks.
Although for phone covers and pouches dont use the hox ones use hox+ covers only
It may be a tall order, but I use my phone in a car dock, and don't want the s-view window. I would like an open face protective case/back replacement that allows for wireless charging without blocking the NFC receiver, that is non-slip (kinda like the speck cases with fingers). Anyone come across something like this? Or will I have to buy a case and a wireless charging pad and hope my NFC still works? All suggestions appreciated!!
Have you tried the official wireless battery cover from Samsung? Sounds like that is what you're looking for. Slightly thicker than the one that came with the phone but it has builtin wireless charging and doesn't mess up NFC

Well.. That sucks.. I had one on order and I was holding out on buying a case for mine
Even though I LOVED Qi charging on my previous Lumia 920 for its convenience I really don't think it is a big loss for the Z2...
Until we see a very dominant wireless charging standard that is built into nearly everything that can be (easily) found in the wild it doesn't matter too much to me what I use as long as it is convenient for me to use at home, work and in my car and not too expensive to get setup with. I got a Sony dock with my phone that sits on my desk at work and a couple off-brand ones for my car dash and my desk at home and all were cheap and trouble-free so far.
My only annoyance now is that my wife still has a Lumia 920 and uses our old Qi pads while I either plug-in or use a mag dock so we can't share all the wireless chargers anymore but it really isn't a big deal.
Also I really don't like 'flap' cases like this anyhow.1816
