Car docks? - [Update] 05/11/2012 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Ok so yeah real easy question i guess we might not know for another 2 weeks but like i already ordered most of my accessories ahead of time Im down to the Car dock.
I currently have the OGEvo and use the htc car dock every day. Literally, If the phone is not in my hand it is in the dock.
I understand they have the same general size but I am wondering if the E4GLE is the same shape and if it fits in the HOX Car Dock?
***Update
So Engadget updated its review of E4GLE and they said "shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter." Soooo...
That means that the E4GLE should fit nicely into the HOX car dock. Even better with full body skin it should still fit without problem. Which was an issue with my OGEvo dock, cause the official dock would rub off the top part of body skin.

Don't know if I would risk it. I love my OG htc evo dock, but with the charging port on the side, its gonna be a little different setup, maybe more like moto docks. I am just gonna wait for the official dock.

I would keep an eye:

there, That is the Car Dock that I have for my HTC Evo 4G. Works great. They made one for the EVO 3D as well that had the side charge port. So I don't see why they won't have a new one for the LTE.
Will

I have also pre-ordered the E4GLE, yet I almost didn't because I have been unable to get information from Sprint or HTC on the dock. I do not the the dimensions of the One X are almost identical, a millimeter off on the width. So it may fit but it's still a gamble.
I use the car dock on my Nexus One every day. My phone is my nav and I can't really justify not having an OEM made car dock. If nothing is announced by launch day I may have to return the E4GLE and get the One X, even though I'd rather have the E4GLE.

Update!
B-)
shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter.

I dunno about the official dock, but i've bought vehicle specific mounting plates from proclip and then combined it with a slipgrip car mount from ebay with great results, just had to run wires for a 3.5mm/microusb connection for power and music. The slipgrip guy makes docks for certain cases too so i think im going to email him about that.

I swear by ProClips. It will take a while for ProClips to make a car dock until they get one in their hands. And when they do. I just need the phone dock part and not the car dock part.

I'm with ya, it took so long for them to make one for the OG evo that i looked to the slipgrip guy who actually made it for both the seidio innocase as well as the HC ballistic case. He epoxies the holder to whatever interface (suction cup, bike mount, vent mount) but i just asked him in the order to ship the two separate. I then did some modifications to the holder so it would screw in to the pivot joint that comes with the proclip holders, turned out pretty well. If history repeats with seidio's timeline, then i'll just have to do the same for this phone.

Does the LTE Evo not have pegs like the Nexus?
Plugging and unplugging both my OG Evo 4G and Evo 3D from the car dock (both are OEM, every other one I tried was even worse) scratches the living hell out of the power jacks. It's irritating as hell that they don't do audio through the dock as well. I guess with that new bluetooth 4.0 dongle, I won't have to worry about that.

I have the dock for the EVO 3D from Seidio and it also scratches around the charge port. Not much I can do about it:-(

Did you ever get the One X car dock? Did it work well with the EVO 4G LTE?

the dock is made by ibolt. I just put mien in this morning. very good feel. they give you some foam pads to level the phone is using with a case with the insert removed. that part was a little cheesy, but actually worked well. pretty happy with it.

so did the OP ever try out the car dock for the one x?

i just ordered one from slipgripcarmounts. they are custom molded so you can leave your case on. does anyone know if there any good? Ill post a review if anyone wants..

I use a generic Micro USB charger in the car, and it works just fine. If you look at the M-USB connector, it looks like /_____\ - make sure the narrower side is facing up when you plug it in to the interface and you'll be good to go.

I picked this up from Best Buy, it's obviously a generic type thing that lots of companies sell under their own brand name since this wasn't cobra or the other brand referenced in that link. I drove around with it all day and for the most part it did well. You have to be careful not to push hard on the sides, it's too similar a motion to the twist you use to remove it. I might modify the brackets on the bottom so that it sits better on them. I only had it fall off once and it's because I was messing with it and then took a hard turn up a steep ramped curb. It bounced to my passenger seat floor. I was trying to dislodge it though so I don't blame it really. I'll try to do some video of it while driving to help others.
I have the official dock from HTC for the Sprint View. It comes with a AC Charger and a USB cable that are identical to those that ship with the tablet. I am unsure what the button does as I didn't see any documentation with the dock. I had to buy the dock and stylus in order to get 25% off the accessories and then a $50 credit to get the pen for free.

Otterbox Defender+ Car Dock?

Is there a car dock that fits the otterbox defender? I got the iGRIP a week prior, and of course it doesn't fit. Only with tpu cases. So does anybody know of a car dock that will fit it? Yes I could probably hack the **** out if the igrip, but thats not what I'm looking for.

Yes, I have a universal dock that I used with my Evo 4G with or without my Ballistic HC case, and now my Evo 3D with or without my Defender case. I'll try to find it and post a link. It attatches in to a power outlet(charging port) and also gives you a power outlet built in to it so you dont lose an outlet. Depends on your car though as to whether this would work for you or not...

This is the exact one that I have. Mine has padding on the bottom, sides, and on the back. I dont see this one showing any padding on the back, but I imagine that its there. I've had it for a year and have no complaints. The only modification I did was took a black zip-tie and sercured the power port on the dock. You actually dont even notice it, unless you are really looking for it, but it does blend in really well, and you can secure it to face which ever direction works best for you.

I would also love to hear about your experience with this. I am more than likely getting the Defender for my 3VO, but really want a car mount that'll handle it.
Really wish I could find something like the Defender, but instead of a holster it had a belt clip with an attachable knob for the case to attach a belt clip, like http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Elements-Snap-Sprint/dp/B002XIWKQ4 for the CDMA Hero.
It's just going to be really uncomfortable to still be wearing the entire holster on my belt while the phone is in the dock in my car. Gonna be a slight hassle also if I had to take the holster off every time I got into and out of the car.
I may be nitpicking, but I suppose everyone has their quirks.

Have you carried a phone in a holster before? Maybe is just me, but i never even notice the holster, assuming it's in the right spot. I carry my phone in a Defender, holstered, Mon-Fri and in pocket on weekends.

I've used these things on my Evo 4g and the work great. I just got one for my 3d with the defender case and my only problem is it's a little snug with the usb cable plugged in. I basically have to remove the cable before I remove it from the holder.
goto ebay and search slipgrip 3d otterbox defender and you'll get all the options
now all I have to do is find a new holster for the defender because I broke off the belt loop

Official desktop dock and car dock...are they rare?

I might be getting a HTC Amaze soon (and paying ~$150 on top of the hassle of selling it for a One S isn't worth it for me), and I'm considering getting the official desktop dock and car dock while they're still available...but is it worth it? Seems like getting them in-store is about the only place to get them (if the store has it period), as I only see like two eBay listings for just the car dock on the entire web. I get that they're not too extraordinary (desktop dock particularly), but I don't want to be with the Amaze a few months down the line and not being able to find either for a reasonable price.
i have not even seen the desktop dock anywhere i just got my amaze today from tmobile didnt see it in the store. On another note if you want to trade your s for my amaze let me know lol
I have both the car and desk dock personally. I have them in my store available for purchase, but i know not every T-Mobile store receives them
I wonder if someone who has the car dock would be willing to measure the diameter of the suction cup on it? I have a dash friction mount that I would love to attach the arm of the official dock to, but I don't want to buy it if the suction cup is larger than the surface on the friction mount I have.
Yes we have them in, I'm mad we don't get much amaze stuff but dock is cheap for 49.99

This is interesting. I had no clue there was a desktop dock for this phone. I've never seen it in store. I may have to pick it up and do a bit of modding to make a very useful car dock for GPS navigation as the one I have is a bit.....

Received the items yesterday. It's the real deal. OEM Car and Desk dock... still with the T-Mobile price tags attached. The desk dock is listed at $49.99 ALONE!
Since I could never find the car dock, I went with a different solution. I already had the Trident Kraken AMS case so I was able to buy a part from Trident that uses the AMS feature to turn into a car dock. The part is only $15, so if you have a Trident Kraken case, pair it up with a car charger and you are ready to go!

Thanks. I probably won't get one of either, but I wanted people to see where to find them.
- for the car holder, I have not been able to find a charger that will keep up with the battery drain of the Amaze when using data, GPS, and keeping the screen on. I use Google Maps navigation by connecting the BT and turning off the screen. Otherwise this would be a great setup.
- for the desktop, I keep my Amaze in a TPU case. Still I might consider it for home use at night...
Ah, what the heck, I went ahead and bought the car model - what a deal!!

I just received that dock yesterday. First impressions are very good. One small exception.
I use the Platinum case that I got at Best Buy, which is essentially the same as the Seidio case.
The phone docks fine, but the case causes the phone to "tilt" a bit to the left. Even with the sleeve out of the dock, it still tilts a bit and does not seat all the way.
But it is barely noticeable and the dock works great.
If you get this dock, be advised that it does not come with a microUSB cable for connecting the dock to your 12v supply in your vehicle. But if your former phone was an EVO 4G like me, you probably have many of those cables laying around any way.
If you do not use a case, however, with the sleeve in the phone fits like a glove.
If you have seen or used the Seidio dock for the OG, like I did, the first thing I can say about this new dock is even though the EVO LTE is larger than the OG, the dock is less intrusive on the windshield.
Thanks, but i mainly just need something to hold my phone. I don't use the NAV on my phone anymore, so i just need something so my phone isn't sitting in my cupholder.
looks sexy but...
I just got my Diztronic case which is absolutely the perfect case and it will not fit in the dock. Not quite sure what to do... I'm leaning towards returning the dock.
EDIT:
after taking the insert out and using the pads in the box it works great!

It does tilt a bit, but that's what those two tiny foam pads that came with it are for. I put one on the right bottom side and the other on the middle nearer to the backside of the phone. It's almost perfectly balanced now.

I have the same case and it fits fine in the car dock. Did you remove the extra insert? There's an insert (adapter) that is in there for a naked LTE. It just pops right out and your Diztronic covered LTE will fit right in there. Make sure to use the two foam pieces on the right hand side so your phone doesn't tilt.

I have the one from sprint and it works fine with my case. Just leave out the spacer from the dock. I think it was $35 or so in store.

second this, as long as its not a bulky otterbox. TPU silicone and hard cases should work fine. They also supply little pieces of foam so if your phone is at an angle, you can straighten it out. You'll see what i mean if you get one.
cheers
For a cheaper dock the quality is surprisingly good, got mine with the media link back when they had the 2 for 20% off, all in all only paid about a hundred bucks, dock was practically free lol
I need one that will fit an evo with a ballistic case on

Amazon has a good one called iOttie
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windshield-INCREDIBLE-BlackBerry-Revolution/dp/B00687N0GK
holds any phone, so it came in handy for me. also they have excellent customer support. mine broke when my daughter knocked it off the counter with my phone in it and they sent me a replacement for free
I think the one that Sprint sells is the closest you'll get to OEM from HTC. Unfortunately, I've ONLY been able to find it in stores and on Sprint's website. Finding it on any other website or eBay is pretty much impossible to find a better price. I like keeping everything OEM, so I'll probably get it when I'm really going to need it.
the one sold by sprint is made from a company called ibolt. They make a generic car dock for the oneX that fits the LTE and the oneX.

that is the one that i'm using right now. works great and its the same price at sprint. i just bought it off of amazon because i had a $50 Amazon gift card so i basically got it for free.

This ARkon mount its the note, it'll fit the Evo with a Ballistic case:

They have window suction and other ones of you don't want the dash version. Best of all, they're mostly under $20.
I ordered an iBolt from Amazon and you can (optional) use it with or without case. All you have to do is remove a piece of plastic from the mount and it fits with case. Its a very sturdy and flexible mount and I recommended it. I think I paid around $25-30. There are cheaper ones out there but you get what you paid for...

I took a trip to the local Sprint store this morning and picked up their car dock and I must say, Im damn impressed at the quality! kind of whack that it doesnt include a charge cable but it is a nice piece for sure. I hightly recommend it :good:
I just got the iBolt version from thecellguru.com & love it so far. $27 after shipping (no tax for those in states that care). Cheapest I was able to find anywhere online (even eBay). They only have it under the OneX compatibility section (probably because that's what it says on the box), but I can attest that it works fine with the EvoLTE. Oh, and no I do not work for them...just dropping a tip to save everyone some $ on a decent accessory.

I'm going to look into the ibolt, I like the design. Does anyone have pictures of their evo in it that they could share?

I've been looking at the ibolt. Has anyone used it with an otterbox commuter case? The reviews and description say it can be used with a case, but otterbox has a flap covering the usb port so I don't know how it would work.
I wish they would make one like I had for the og evo. With the cone shaped base and the thin chrome post with ball on each end, and thin minimal plastic clip holding the phone. All so neat and trim. I hate the big boat shape tray on the sprint/ibolt one, especially since my phone has no case, that boat shape is way bigger than the phone and looks ugly. Also the big fat hold-down clip on the top. Ugh.. it all blocks so much more window view than necessary. And of course the blue charging light, yet another unnecessary light on my dash at night.
But it holds the phone securely, charges, and provides a good landscape gps and media player.
I'll have to dig up a pic of my old og evo setup to show what I mean. I think the dock was actually for the hero but it worked on the og evo with a tiny hack just trimming away a small bit of plastic. Looked a hundred times better than the sprint/ibolt. This was definitely one downgrade from upgrading from og evo to evo lte.

Oh yeah plus you could turn it portrait or landscape any time and it looked good both ways.
I wish they would make THIS for the evo lte.
