Is it worth buying something which is designed specifically for the Hermes or does a cheap generic one do just as good a job?
I'm willing to spend a bit extra is the holder is better quality.
If anyone has a decent holder could you let me know the brand/where you got it from.
In my experience, The Brodit holders are superior. They have excellent fit, and some come with built-in charging (active holders) for additional convenience.
yes, anything by Brodit - expensive but worth it.
I am not very much convinced with their website's photos.
I have ordered dwo desktop cradles from expansys: HTC-branded, and from ORA, plus a car holder by Carcomm. I will review and post photos when they (finally) arrive.
Another vote for Brodit. See my pics in this thread:

I can recommend a unit by Carcomm, available at Handnav.

I've been using it for 3 weeks, very pleased with. You can get power cables for various GPS receivers too.

i am using a cheap car holder from Hama. it's doing its job and i paid only 20euro for it
My vote goes to the Brodit holder. Use it for several months now and charge my tytn without problems. Also i have one for my dell axim pda.
Brodit holders are a perfect fit.
i just use a generic pda holder bought form ebay, i think the ebay store was t-dimension.
it cost me $5 AU + postage. It is an anti-vibrate model.
This holder together with a TYTN car charger ($20 AU) is a practical and cheap (money wise) solution.
There is ONLY one place to buy from and it is...
www.proclipusa.com
I have no affiliation with them but I have bought holders for 2 different vehicles from them. The quality is very high. And they have basically taken every single vehicle out there and figured out how to mount your ohone as if it were a factory option. The location of the brackets is different for all vehicles and the fit on the phone and on the car is perfect.
I hope you enjoy, just as I have.
Using the Brodit cradle here, fantastic bit of kit which works perfectly. Recently used it on a 2500KM car journey and it was perfect the whole way!
Does anybody know which holder is compatible with the extended batteries?
I got this one at radio shack for 16.00

add to it a retractable miniusb cigarette charger (for the RAZR) at wal-mart for $10.00
That looks right along the lines of what I want - I don't think it would hold the LION Battery pack with the Hermes though :/
Mobileplanet seems very pricey for things like wall and car chargers, batteries, etc.
Boxwave doesn't seem to carry any power supplies at all.
I'm at a bit of a loss where to go get this stuff for reasonable prices. (Either super-cheap chinese knockoff crap or reasonably priced OEM - I'm not into expensive chinese knockoff crap!)
TIA,

lionbattery.com sells for StarTrek only batteries but their 1900 mAh is probably the best you can get. It's not so cheap...
You can get some audio adapter (jack) from ebay.
I have even purchased some car holder from Expansys.com (HTC Store) but it's not so perfect (especially with the fat battery) because it was the cheapest one
That's all you need

Thanks. I actually like to have a handful of power adapters and car adapters, so curious where to find those at decent prices.

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
My Flyer has been declared dead by SquareTrade. I'll be replacing it with something else, so I'm going to have a bunch of stuff available for sale:
1) Genuine HTC CC C500 charger (does AC-speed charging at 9V from a cigarette lighter). Like-new, used once, works perfect. $10
2) RAM X-Grip Universal Mount (holds the tablet well, like new, used a few times on my motorcycle). $20
3) MountGuys MFX070-2 Sun Shade Anti Glare Visor for 7" Tablet and GPS Screens (new, never used). $15
If there's any interest in these, I'll put them on the Buy/Sell forum.
Hi guys! I've been eyeing a wireless charger for a while now. I have the D855 which includes Qi wireless charging capabilities
.
Last time I purchases a generic charger for the Note 2 it got really hot for my liking.
I've had an eye for this one... Aukey N12:
http://www.aukey.com/product/wireless-charger-n12
Unfortunately I can only find this one on eBay Australia:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171730898638&alt=web
But it's $80+ down to $6.99 which is concerning.
So are there better alternatives (I assume there are heaps)?
Thanks!! [emoji4]
Will wireless chargers charge through some/all cases or covers?
It would be a pain to have to keep removing a cover (for example gel or plastic one) to be able to charge, espeically for those that are a really tight fit.
The Nokia wireless charges work flawlessly
The Nokia one is great but hard to find cheap.
Try the WCD-100 which is from LG and you can get it from Ebay for under $40-50. It works perfectly with the LG G3 (with a case). You just need to make sure you have a 1.5Amp USB charger as the WCD-100 doesn't come with a wall plug, just the USB cable.
I have several wireless chargers, the ones I like best are the Itian desktop charger and the Ikea Desk lamp charger. I have the Itian at work and the Ikea on my nightstand next to my bed. I need to put some clear rubber "feet" on the Ikea charger for easier alignment, and maybe find a way to add the charger for my G Watch R, but both work well. I should also add a disclaimer that I have only used the Ikea charger with the LG quick circle case, bit the Itian worked with the thinner cases, not so much with the leather book case (plastic and leather between the phone and charger)

It really depends on how thick it is. I reckon <4-5mm will be able to. I hope to get one soon and I'll let you know when I do.
