Just letting people know about this. I just picked one up (car dock) earlier today. It's still more than the iGrip but I really like it. The suction cup sticks alot better than my OG Droid's dock did, I think.
Car Upgrade Kit
Desktop Dock
Thanks.

Oh that was what was linked to if you view the ad online. But in the ad it says EVO 3D. I think they did it because they don't have the 3D dock online.
LOL, didn't realize that was the EVO 4G one though. There really isn't a description on the page. I knew it didn't look like what I bought.

Yes, the Car Dock and the Desktop Dock are on sale @ $39.99. Since I shop at my local Best Buy a lot, They gave me additional 15% off. The Desk Dock is awesome...

Does the dock have the mhl adapter built in? As in can I plug in an hdmi to hdmi or do I still need to buy an adapter?
Also while in the dock does sense work in landscape?
Also will an evo 3d with a tpu case fit?
Edit:
Never mind according to the description you still need an adapter... Weak sauce

yes, it's a 7 .. I don't like the 9 , just because I leave my computer on 24/7 and the 9 will kill the battery fast...
Can you tell me what application you are using to get the desktop in to landscape mode when docked? I am looking for a desk dock application similar to Car Home and cant find anything.
When I set the phone in to the dock, I get the icon in the top bar, but nothing changes. It does not go into landscape mode.
Thanks for any help...
Found it... for some reason I had decided to freeze Dock Mode.

But dropped my phone today for the fist time. got scuff marks on it and... ugghhhh if only I used my TPU case, lol.
Does anyone have the smart car kit from BestBuy in possession yet? Care to share some pics? How does it fit the E3D? Care to share more about it? Thanks ahead.

If there is an official HTC car dock, I hope they don't completely and utterly fark it up by delaying it till several months after the phone launches only to launch an overpriced trinket ....like they did with the evo.
I don't understand the need for device specific car docks. How is it better then a universal dock?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
edit: Ok, I'm sold. I just bought the iGrip Vehicle Dock for HTC Evo 3D from the Sprint Store and its amazing. It has a removable insert so you
can use it with a case on your phone! I can confirm all the cases we sell at TPU-Cases will fit the dock, I haven't gotten a chance to test it with
the Otterbox Commuter but I'm almost positive it will fit. The Defender on the other hand definitely will not. This is one sweet dock! $40
Universal docks don't hold the phone as well. I've yet to find one that isn't a heinous pile of garbage compared to the OEM Evo dock. I'll admit though, the Evo's dock is pretty spendy.
i have a griffen universal and had the oem evo one. i stuck with the universal, as i can keep my case on my evo with no problems.

Great find thanks!

Wow, that does look pretty sweet! AS long as charger pugs into the dock and not the phone it looks pretty sweet. I really love the fact that my Evo starts to charge the moment i bomb drop it into my Seidio innodock. Speaking of which, I really hope Seidio comes out with thier own version as it will no doubt be compatible with their sweet extended batteries!

Those accessories appear to be mock-ups or at least not official HTC. Best buy has the official HTC Car and Desktop dock available for pre-order right now. Personally I'm glad those docks you posted aren't the real ones. Here's the link
Well Best Buy is saying they will have it....but the picture is abviously the evo 4g dock as the charge port is on the bottom...... here is the link:

Yeah, I get the feeling they're using the Evo 4G car dock image as a placeholder until the 3vo dock comes out. Its only pre-order at this stage.
Car Docks will be available on EVO 3d Launch day at Sprint Corporate Stores.
The car dock you are seeing is the actual Evo 3D car dock it will be 39.99 the usb cable runs along the back and plugs into the back of the cradle. it is not made by HTC, Sprint has them in STOCK now and ready for sale

I was at my local Sprint store today picking up a couple Otterbox Defender cases, they had this dock as well.
I picked up this dock today. Much better than the Original HTC Dock for the Evo. Works great. Camera can still be used and seems very well built.

The Otterbox Commuter case does not fit into it however I saw in the website that some cases will. I tried to cut off the charging port cover off the commuter phone but still no dice.

my body glove case is a fraction to big but it goes in none the less but it wont stay in car mode, but it will fit and charge, i might need to grind the little tabs off of the dock to make it work perfectly, i already emailed igrip in response to the dock not have the the tilt knob to adjust the dock up and down it only has the ball adjustment which doesn't allow the phone to sit where i need it, most docks have to adjustments and this one weather its a defect or first run device mistake its kind of annoying, igrips pictures show it with the arm adjustment
I was in a Bestbuy today and they had the official HTC Evo 3D Car Dock. It was priced at 59.99 I believe. I decided to go to Sprint and get the 39.99 iGrip which is the one pictured above. I must say, the iGrip is perfect. Very solid, had a good hold on the phone and just all around feels good. For those looking to use the dock for shooting video while driving, it works, but only for 2d. The 2nd camera is blocked. Also, once the phone is seated in the dock, the usb port that connects underneath automatically launches the "car panel" app which is cool. So anyone looking to save some $ on a dock, go for the iGrip.
Oh yea, and for those that dont know or forgot, 2 or more accessories for premiere members are 25% off. I bought two of these docks and saved $20.
just a heads up. it is now finally up for pre order
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5748
$60+free shipping, it is cheaper than official htc cradle+mhl cable.

OP's is an HDMI out cradle. Your ebay one is one for a dock on the table and spare battery. Either way both are great =D
The link in OP says the dock allows sync'ing *and* HDMI-out. How'd they do that? I thought that if the MHL was connected we couldn't get USB....

I'm pretty interested in this. Has anyone got theirs yet? I am guessing it does not come with a MHL cable. I'd love to know if it allows playing videos while still charging the phone (or at least not losing any juice).
Sorry to change the subject, but what app is this?

From the different pictures of the dock on the website, there is a picture of it having a red inside border, and another without it.
Is it removable, to make it able to fit a phone with a case, or?
I'm asking because i'm looking for a dock to fit my EVO 3D along with the case-mate tough case.
And also, with this dock, would i be able to plug it into my computer and use the mini-usb cable in the dock to transfer files from my computer to my phone?
I see some different kinds of docks around here, and i'm a bit confused which ones can do what.
- Moon
I don't own the cradle but I think I've seen pictures of the dock where you can remove the adapter. The adapter is used if you don't have a case. Keep in mind that not all cases will work with the dock. You may want to email Kidigi and see if your case will fit.
Based off Kidigi website it looks to be removable. See image with red ring. Top center has a tab. Image without a red ring has no tab and the base becomes wider.
http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1316
I think if you have a TPU case it'll work but anything thicker might be an issue. And it looks to be a full HDMI connector in the back of the dock. So that's good too. I was afraid it was mini HDMI.
Does it supports 1080p resolution?

Thats probably up to the phone not the cradle since the cradle is just the medium. Just as if you were using an MHL cable. With my experience with MHL and the evo3d, the output on your TV will not be as good as the original source.
I won an auction on Friday and got (2) HTC EVO 3D Docks, (2) iGrip Car Mounts, an Otterbox Commuter case, and a pink silicone case.
Not too bad...

I can definitely say it's a nice thing to have, but maybe not for what it's been retailed for. I mainly use it on my desk at work, and I have one on my nightstand for my overnight charging and alarm clock. If you find a good deal on one around the $20 range, I would definitely recommend getting one.
As for the car dock, that's been a great addition. It charges, and make it easy to use for navigation. I haven't taken it on a trip, but when I do, I trust it'll do wonders for me.

Quick question for those of you using the cradle. With I Grip, I know that once docked, it launches the Car Panel automatically. Does using the cradle launch anything in particular?
Also, since I am on the topic, do you any of you guys know if there is a way to turn off the auto launch

When you put it into the cradle, it launches the "Dock Mode" application automatically.
And yes, there is a way to turn off the Auto-Launch feature for the Dock Mode application. Open the application and go to Menu > Settings, then uncheck "Auto-Launch."
You can even set it to automatically turn on your HotSpot when connected. Just saw that, pretty cool.
asyone interested in posting up pics of their car mount setups? i am looking into a universal mount and thinking about attaching it to my dash using the double-sided tape feature instead of the window suction cup.
just looking to see what everyone else is utilizing and how you set it up!

Mine is the stock dock and it goes to portrait easily.
Am I missing something?
I'm not using the stock mount, just the dock itself. It's mounted with a universal mount that doesn't swivel. I recommend the craigsdock because overall, its much nicer than the iBolt.
I use this iBolt ProDock. Fits the extended battery nicely. Hoping it lasts because I am tired of buying a new dock if and when I buy a new phone.

I have the CraigsDocks dock as well. Not only is it universal, and made of aluminum instead of plastic, but it is made by a guy who has outstanding character. I bought one of the original docks, and it worked fine. It ended up on the floor of my car (kids...) and got bent. When I tried to straighten it, I broke it. I contacted Craig to inquire about a new piece for it, and a new suction cup mount (he doesn't make these, just sells them as a courtesy), and he said that he had made improvements since I got mine, and that he was unhappy with the strength of the original ones, so he sent me out an entire new dock, cable and all. Talk about going above and beyond... I BROKE IT, and told him so, but he still felt he was responsible and sent me a new one. He WILL get more business if I ever need another dock, and I will sing his praises here as well!!!

interesting idea. I still have a sirius radio mount in my garage.
I know this seems odd, but does anyone here have an old Samsung Infuse car dock that they could test and see if the Optimus G will work in? According to the dimensions, the Optimus G is in between the Infuse and the Galaxy S III. The GS3 fits into the Infuse car dock, so I bet the Optimus G will fit. If so that would be awesome since the Infuse car dock is dirt cheap.
Also, I noticed the Optimus G floor model at AT&T came pre-loaded with the Car Home app. So maybe they are working on an OEM car dock anyways.
Thanks
Shawn
I'd like to know as well; it actually might work with a case based upon the thickness specs.
I'll let you know, I ordered one for 5$.

As you can see I did a hack-job on this.... I think I need some better/different dremel attachments.
But, this shows that it is possible to get the Samsung Infuse car dock for next to nothing and you can make it work.
By the way, the extra hole in the dock was for the speaker on a SGS3.
Thanks for posting this.
Where did you get the dock for cheap?
Does the aux out function from the dock work with the optimus?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
It looks like you got it to fit without a case. Do you think there is enough material in the dock to take more out to get it to fit with something like the BodyGlove case?
Update:
Found a Infuse case at an AT&T store. Paid 5 bucks for it. The phone will fit the case if you take a pair of pliers and bend the corners back a bit. I find it works best to bend the corners close to the charging base more than the corners on the other side.
Also, there is no audio out from the mount. You have to plug the aux cable into the phone to get it to work.

I don't think this will work with any case. There really is not a whole lot of wiggle room, and the micro-usb part of the dock that slides into the phone has to align perfectly.
