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
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103140&cp
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 :/
Has anybody seen a car holder for the HTC Touch HD? Not the univeral ones which fit for a lot of different devices. I mean holders like the ones from Richter or Brodit.
I couldn't find any touch hd specific ... looks like these vendors are slow with expending their product portfolio!
As usual for every new phone, i order the Herbert Richter product
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....category=00394707-5A1A-4D70-98A5-4CD5F1638611
Waiting for avaibility....
so youbuy the holder bit (as you have linked), whats the other part youhave to buy (apart from the phone )
Brodit car holders are here
Hi there,
The holders for our Touch HD's have arrived at the Brodit-site:
http://www.brodit.com/?main=searchb...owModell=D0B8AFF1-0D4C-403F-AF24-7CBF0151CE61
I don't know about other countries/suppliers, but in the neterlands, www.pdaplus.nl says the will have them in 1-2 weeks...
Well spotted Nooky, not even on their news page yet! This is the one I have been waiting for. Any UK suppliers yet?
Can you also use this holder in landscape mode?

DSL Developments, http://www.dsldevelopments.com/. Very helpful and now have them available to order. How soon they'll ship them, no idea.
They also offer a 3-in-1, with:
- Mini USB for charging
- 3,5 mm audion for sound out
- HTC Ext USB for original headset
Surely, if it only attaches to ExtUSB the 3.5mm and the ExtUSB for headset won't work? Connecting a HTC Headset from Polaris certainly fails on HD ExtUSB...

Found them this morning, but 60 quid for the molex one? Bloody hell.. Getting the lighter socket one and will rewire it myself I think.
Hi,
Brodit relesed their holder series for Touch HD.
www.brodit.se
They are great and I use them for a while now.

If you buy the "tilt swivel" version; you can.
The opening to slide it in will remain on the short side, so if you tilt the holder 90 degrees the phone is held by the upper and lower side and the left OR right side (with the usb-plug).
I have had several holders from brodit for my HTC phones and the phone is always held so tight (without scratching!) that you won't have to worry that the phone will slide out sideways when in landscape-position.
Anyone used the Brodit Holder with their ProClip Mounting over the vent? I prefer not to drill holes or stick it!
I've used a Brodit Proclip on my last three cars, brilliant fit every time, latest is over the vent. Recommended.

Yes, I normaly use proclip over the vent so that I'll have the phone near to me and in clear view.
Brodit has amazing produts made of very good and solid plastic. Not like some low cost holders that you might find.
But I think it all depends on the car you have. Brodit normaly has several sugestions to place the proclip, so I think they have it for everyone taste.

I've upgraded from a HTC Trinity (which came with Herbert Richter car mount) and this works very well with the Touch HD - it's a slightly tighter fit, but very stable and allows the car charger to fit easily. Thought some people may find this useful at least as a stopgap until the proper Touch HD one is available
Hi,
What about a good holder that attaches to your windscreen? The Brodit ones are all very well but what happens if you are using a different car? Say if you go abroad and get a hire car, will the brodit holder be able to transfer?
the previously mentioned: Herbert Richter car mount uses a sucker. i am trying to decide between that and the brodit. Herbert Richter car mount isnt out yet for the HD.
Do either of them allow you to use it in landscape as well?
You can buy a sucker for the Brodit too if you prefer (or additionally):

...until you want to use another car I suppose.
With my n560 I have been using a Brodit activ holder in combination with a Herbert Richter Mounting device for the window. Therefore you only have to buy an adapter-plate for approximately 5€.
Hi all.
I'm looking for a car holder for my TP2. Can anyone make a recommendation? I'm UK based and I'd rather not pay silly amounts on delivery other than that I'm open to all suggestions?
So far I've seen and like the Boxwave car holder. Only problem is they're a US company and they charge quite a bit for non-US delivery.
Thanks in advance
I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brodit-car-...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855076&sr=8-24
I combined it with my Richter holder (this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/HERBERT-RIC...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855152&sr=8-3 ) because I had a HTC Touch Pro before.
I have the CM929-S: Swivel Vent PDA Car Mount from Arkon that I got from eBay a while back for around $10. It works pretty well with the TP2, and I like it better than suction-cup mounts because it won't fall off. Although, I do like the idea of a unit-specific mount if I could find one.

Thanks neonoxDE!
the Richter holder looks perfect!
Wait Spartan: The richter holder I posted is for TOUCH PRO 1 not Touch Pro 2! You can use the Richter "arm" (don't know the right word) and add the brodit holder.
if you are going to go Arkon, may as well go with the powered mount
http://www.arkon.com/poweredpdamount.php?selFeat=usb_mini
the speaker is fairly useless... the TP2 speaker is louder
does have 2 USB charge port though, 1 at 1.2a (fast charge!) and another at 600ma
a little thicker than the none power version but worth it
so you can charge 1 phone and another device... or a friends phone too
I combine it with a proclip vechile mount and its perfect!
I just got the box wave kit. The quality is good and you can fit the TP2 in landscape with keyboard out and portrait.
They dont give you a dash disk to mount on your dash but suction cup is huge should mount on any window. They also give you a HVAC vent hook as well.
I'd give it a 7/10.
Try This

Looks decent though passive only.

I also have the Boxwave kit. Good quality. I have it attached to the vent. It was a pain getting it hooked up but once it was on it was great.
TP2 now functions as an easily accessible hands-free phone, mp3 player, and gps system. Man, I love this thing
I ordered this one
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=16170
There were two on the site, and this one LOOKED less sturdy which was my only concern. Having said that, it turned up today and whilst I have not put it in the car yet, I am well pleased.
Much sturdier in reali life than the pictures suggest. Good selectioon of attachments etc. Way better than the ebay one I had for my Touch pro.
I was just about to ask the same question. Don't you just wish there was a genuine HTC one like the sexy HD2 mount...

Thanks I would be more than happy to buy the Boxwave goods but the shipping is too high. I'm UK based - it almost doubles the purchase costs

To be honest I've been very disappointed with the lack of (widely) available accessories for the TP2....

the best would be a richter/HR-compatible plate as i have the acessoiries for other handsets in this system
I'm using my old HTC Hero Richter plate. Fits okay and no marks yet on my white Blade after 3 weeks use.
Mine sits in my old G1 cradle
Sent from my ZTE Blade using Tapatalk
I'm using one of these, got it on ebay:
"PREMIUM WINDSCREEN CAR HOLDER FOR SAMSUNG i900 OMNIA"
It fits well enough, and is cheap
My first post here, so they wont let me include a link.
Try Nokia CR-115, check out the photos from a Portuguese site.
http://www.androidpt.com/index.php?...88346&limit=10&limitstart=10&Itemid=30#101059
could anyone of you make a foto with the blade inserted in the plate ?
to the nokia and maybe the i900: i clearly want a richter-compatible solution as it is the most comfortable way for me
but the first thing, i will try now, is to use a clingo necklet and try to maybe mount it on an old plate or cutting the richter-holes into it. dont know, if it is a good idea, but we´ll see

even if there where marks, i would not care. not even my original backplate fits perfectly. but it is a 100€-handy, it is the cheapest smartphone, i ever had. and as long, as the screen doesnt get hurt, i dont care. it just has to be stable on the mount.
Buy an universal from eBay like this one http :// cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-WINDSCREEN-HOLDER-MOUNT-ORANGE-ZTE-BLADE-NEW-/280635418963?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item41572ca953
like i mentioned several times: i will not use a new system just because of one handy... and universal ones are crap
Hi,
you can buy brodi specific support.
i've just order one, I used one for my iPhone for 2 years and it's really good support.
ref : 511235 Passive holder with tilt swivel (http://www.brodit.com/)
regards
looks good. i just have to find any reseller in germany
The Arkon slimgrip is well worth a go, I got one last week from ebay for £14.
It comes with a windscreen suction mount and a piece of plastic that you can stick to the dash as an alternative place to mount it.
Once your sure it's stuck to the screen you have a great range of adjustment in it as well.
Im using a universal holder from ebay.Was cheap and does the job well.
Considering the size and weight of the Rog2, finding an appropriate car holder could be a challenge.
Do you use the Rog2 for in-car-navigation?
Have you found a robust, stable car holder to support it? If so, what model?
i use this, and it's perfect:

Phone Holder for Car
so i recently started using my ROGPHONE 2 a lot and i found out my previous iOttie car mount doesnt fit my phone with the Aero Cooler attached.and taking it off and on is such a hassle. any idea what car holder works?
magnetic mounts are a no go as in Indonesia the roads has a lot of potholes and a lot of unregulated speed bumps.
+ for answer who's using some proper holder for car...

I used to have this Ringke Monster Mount for my Note 10+. And wow it fits. But the ROGPHONE 2 doesnt fit. Thus i had to get the IOttie. But it doesnt fit the phone with the cooler attached. Its annoying having to put on and take off everytime im about to drive.
This one worked for me.
