Just bought desktop cradle with some other accessories bundle at ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370151123238
I think this is a pretty good deal.
i see from brando.com having also some nice deaktop cradle but then its pretty expensive IMO
Thanks for the link, is there any charger that will charge with the silicon case still on?

For UK buyers there's MobileFun.
They sell both types which are the correct one's for the Touch HD (not the badly fitted one's that you can find elsewhere).
See here for the cheaper HTC Touch Desktop CHarging Cradle.
See here for the dearer Deluxe HTC Touch HD Desktop Charging Cradle.
I have both.
Note: Both are much cheaper than Expansys.

my desktop cradle from ebay finally arrive today in a nice small box.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370151123238
You may want to see the items bundle with the purchase.
i tested immediately by charging the battery and syncing the touch HD without any delay. I would say the cradle is nicely built. I tested the cradle by putting my touch HD in the silicon case and plug it in and it still fit nicely into the cradle and syncing as well. (I need some additional force to push it in due to the thickness of the silicon i have) But it will be effortless for me to sync the HD if i remove the silicon case.
No regrets buying the cradle. The only useless thing i feel is the pouch that came with it. Its simply too tight, Must tighter than the original touch HD pouch. I have a problem pushing the phone into it.
But in anyway the cradle is great!
Thanks for the feedback, are you using the grey transparent silicon case from ebay?

no... i didnt got my silicon case from ebay. i got it locally. Its a clear type transparent silicon .
I had another leather pouch which i also switches around to use....
Can you plug in a standard adapter into the cradle? It looks like it uses a UK adapter to another adapter for that cradle..
What is the battery like that comes with it too? It seems quite a cheap price

As for the adapter, I did not use the one that is provided. I uses my old dopod 900 charging adapter instead. Its the same voltage and also uses USB.
The battery is 1350mAh. So far been using it on my phone and so far so good.
There's a coincidence - I ordered the exact same thing a week or so ago. Waiting on delivery at the moment, but I'm happy to see that there's another user that thinks it was worth it.
Could Anyone advise a model with audio out ?
thanks !
Cradle
Hello,
could somebody please name the manufacturer of this cradle? I'm from Germany and I would be pleased not having to buy it from the UK. I didn't find anything similar in german shops yet.

I have both this case and the Deluxe one manufactured by Kidigi.com.
I can say that the case you mention does not have a manufacturers name, only HTC Touch HD.
I can say though that both cases are excellent.
i know its slightly off topic, but are the spare batteries sold on ebay with the cradles any good.. how long do they hold their charge?

Did you not read my post only two posts above yours?
Yesterday I found this great looking Docking-Station: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/de/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179445
It would look great with the HD but it doesn't fit. Is there anyone, who found a similar station that works with the HD?
This is really the only quality one I know of:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/desktopcradle/htc-touch-hd-desktop-cradle_3387.htm
Not the most attractive, but like I said, quality.
I'm also looking for a cradle that looks good, the only on I have found is this one:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=175740
However it seems pretty expensive and not to my particular tastes so I was wondering if there were any others too.
Does anyone have any recent experience of using the cheapo docking cradles available for the TouchHD on eBay? I'm based in the UK but would be happy enough to buy one from a seller over here or in Hong Kong.

All they do is connect the USB port to the computer, they are basically a USB lead with a built in stand for the phone. The ones with a second battery socket have a second power input and a charging circuit.

I've got two of those.
One with the extra battery loader.
Dirt cheap on ebay (11 and 16 euro's). Great build quality.
Have the loader on my desk and the other on my nightstand. GREAT!

I got a cheap one from eBay for my desk at work. It works fine for charging the Touch HD, but it doesn't physically support it very well. If you are clicking anywhere near the top of the screen, the phones bends away from you (if you can understand what I mean).
Thanks for all the feedback. Looks as though I may have to look for a slightly more expensive brand of cradle/dock.
Do any of the well-known brands come with the ExtUSB connector instead of the standard mini-USB connector?
Im have a CRG300 craddle, just used a dremmel to make on of the adapters fit the HD.
do you have a foto of the station with the hd in?
Anyone else got the official HTC Hero Cradle?
Mine just arrived and whilst it looks good there are a few faults..
It collects fingerprints like mad, and the bigger problem.. because of the chin on the hero it stands too straight upright.. it needs to be laid back a little more to make it easier to read if its in front of you on a desk.
It wouldn't be a problem on any phone thats straight (the cradle is universal and can have little adapters fitted for a few different HTC models).. but because of the curve of the chin the usb socket points at a weird angle.
I've got the cradle. It does collect fingerprints like mad, but the angle doesn't bother me at all.
the angle doesnt bother me. trying to get it out of the cradle bothers me. seems so difficult to pull out or even put in for that matter. will this ease up the more i use it?

Yes it will.
must say I'm pretty dissapointed with accessories for Hero. Official cradle seems to expensive, and to find cheaper one that has audio output on it? asking too much.
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-AC-Dual-Bat...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414c23acfb
looks like this can be it. but, can any cradle be used if the phone is in "soft silicon gel case cover" ?

I bought that cradle and it's a piece of sh*t!
It's huge and doesn't even charge the phone sometimes. Stay away!

I had one of these for another HTC phone (I can't even remember which now) and you need to have DC5V and USB both connected to reliably charge. And come on it's not that big
As for the official cradle, yes it is pretty expensive but it is very well made and don't forget it is universal - so you can just replace the adapter when you change to another HTC phone, ala iPod docks. Don't think it fits the Nexus One though? Or maybe just not yet.
ok thanx
I thought that it would be an easy thing to find. and cheap. but it's not really, looking at iSomething accessories, well... it's very hard to compare. There is iEverythingYouCanThinkOf, but only one or two models of HTC compatible docks with audio output. that's sad.
As long as the dock has a proper HTC ExtUSB connector on it and not just mini-usb you can get audio out easily from any of them.
Grab an Ext USB 3-in-1 Splitter from ebay (They look like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=57219&d=1194430021)
And plug into the dock.. thats what I did when I was using my kaiser dock before I bought the official one.
yes that was my plan
but noone said anything about docking a Hero with silicon gel protection on it? it's only about 2mm thick but will it fit? hmm...

I think that it does support audio out. See this: http://www.mtpdata.dk/htc/htc-hero/cradle-dockingstation-til-htc-hero-med-pladsslot.html the website is danish but look at the pictures.
Looks nice, I sure wish Sprint would have left the CDMA Hero alone.

Yeah it has audio out + room for an extra battery
From the site :
- Docking Station / Cradle for HTC Hero
(with USB cable + power cable)
NoteThis dock only fits HTC HERO , and not to other HTC smartphones / phones!
Docking Station / Cradle for synchronization of data (between phone and PC) and to charge your HTC HERO and / or extra battery.
Besides that, this dock also separate Audio-Out port!

hello everybody
Hey guys,
As some of you probably have read that Malata Zpad ships with an official (perfect fit) leather stand/case, i just wanna share that i have purchased it via the chinese ebay here: http: / /item. taobao. com /item. htm? id= 9003689863
Its 50 RMB so in USD its like 7 bucks. But because i don't have a chinese bank account (and many of you probably don't either) i have to go through a 3rd party (known as a taobao agent - google how to buy from taobao) to get this. It significantly jacks up the prices to about 20 USD. But its still cheaper than the ones unofficial leather cases you see on dhgate and alibaba.
My apologies if this has been posted before (though there are no similar posts showing up).
Cheers.
Hi thanks for the info. Pics and some more details will be highly appreciated.

What agent did you use for this purchase? For $20, I'll give it a go!
Looking nice AND it acts as a stand?! Yeah.... how did you make your purchase? I'm all over one of these.. lol
This one the one that you can order with the Zpad I think.
Here's a video showing the Zpad in the case.
Malata Tegra 2 Tablet Hands on with Benchmarks
What I don't like is that it doesn't look like it has a hole for the dock, and you can't get to SD and Full USB without taking off the whole cover.
Anyone have this? Can you confirm?
I have

I think my Zpad is already coming with one of these and the dock.
Might cut a hole in the bottom and get my wife to sew it neatly so that I can use it with the dock.
Did the seller tell you?

If they tell you, will be come with all of them.
because now the standard Zpad not includ one DOCK.
Ya, I specifically ordered it with a dock and cover.

Even if it had an opening for the dock, I seriously doubt it could be docked while in the case. The case would simply make it too thick to allow it to dock.
As for the USB and SDcard access... I don't think it that big of a deal for day to day use. You could always cut the case on that side to allow access if you REALLY REALLY wanted it that bad.

I've seen other covers for it with holes for the docking port. So maybe it will work with the cover on, will have to try it out and see.
It is a nice looking case -- but I've already ordered a Kindle DX case based on other recommendations...
If it doesn't fit properly though, I'll definitely consider this one...
Thanks
Is there going to be a group buy for these?
I'm in for a group buy for the case.
Hi, sorry have been busy. My apologies about the leather / PU error. Mine comes in a week will post pics if needed?

Great! Please post a review and pics when you receive it. I'm in for a group buy as well.
IS there actually a group buy? I don't see anything posted other than interest in one.
I see a lot of the cases ending up on ebay with smashed glass on the front for cheap. I was wondering if any devs out their would be able to point me in the right direction to attempt to use this case on a razpie or a PC. I assumed it was just display port over type C but I put my adapter to change it from M to F and plug it into the case and no joy. I also attempted to use a thunberbolt 4 cable to plug into the internal type c port and plug it into the phone this way. And still it wont turn the screen on. I have no idea what kind of magic they did and why (maybe a non standard port) But I can't get this thing to talk unless directly attached to the phone.
Thanks in advance. Just seems a massive shame for them to end up as E-waste. They are a great looking display.
Maybe some controler chip inside the phone not in the 2nd screen.
Let try to connect to other phone (the unit you know it can share display via typec port) for more information.
Btw i want to buy 1 like that, but ebay do not ship to my country.
Alright its worth a try. My neighbor has an S22. I just think it is strange because even when I used a thunderbolt 4 cable to connect from my phone to the case it still did not work. Only when plugged straight into the case.
Attached is the cables and adapter I used
EDIT: also aliexpress has the cases as well.
EDIT:2 Now I am wondering if the case uses MHL as MHL would also provide power and signal.
Its said that the usb c connector only carries power and that the display is wireless. I dont have any direct information as to the truth of that however.
I wonder

I wonder if that's true. Also the phone must have some kind of magnetic read switch. because I can turn it on away from the case if I put a magnet on the back of it. I sacrificed my beloved case for the cause T_T.
I also discovered if I use a typc c to type a cable usb2, the PC will say the device is a lv600 or whatever the sku for the phone itself is.
So I think without some kind of drivers this wont work. I think I will purchase a driverboard from ali and see if it won't work. So I will have to bypass the CB behind the display and hook it up to the oled directly because this thing has much more then just a screen inside of it it also has the buttons and secondary display. I was hoping windows would ignore all of that and just use display port alt mode over USB.

Has anyone actually gotten one from AliExpress? $30 for a working case with the magnetic adapter included seems to good to be true. AliExpress has good buyer protection, so I was tempted to try it anyway, but I didn't want to wait a month for it to ship just to find out it's a scam.

- Many times bought at Ali. I need to pay instally and waiting they shipping (a month or longer, very long shipping while i live near by China). Some shop is clone, they never send the good. But i can cancel it before shop send the good to transpoter. Can not return if something wrong.
- Bonus: i bought cracked front glass V60 dual case on Ebay from USA Shop for $39. I recieved it after 2 week (through the middle man) really fast. The Shop on Ebay sent me dual screen case with only 2 little crack (still good condition).
- My experience: On Ali only buy from shop is appreciate, don't buy working device, only buy parts as you know China is good place to find parts for repair device.
