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:

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?
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
I need a desktop dock and a car dock for my Evo 3D. Any suggestions for a good and cheap dock?
Is there a dock that you can put the phone in and it will charge the phone and also have an audio output on the dock? I don't know if this is possible but if there is one I would like to get it. That way I could connect (and leave connected) some speakers (or the car's aux input) to an audio output on the dock. So I could just drop the phone into the dock and it would charge plus the audio would already be hooked up.
If this isn't possible then I guess just a good desktop and car dock suggestion for cheap (that charge the phone) and will fit with a kickstand case.
Dunno about cheap, look around on pricing, but Kidigi do both a car dock and a desk dock (No idea about the audio bit).

I use the Seidio dock at work and at home. It doesn't have an audio out that I know of, but it works great with my case (also made by Seidio - I'm not sure if you'll have success with a non-Seidio case). If you don't have a case it will work fine, also.
Not sure about a car dock but I know there are several options out there.

Pretty cool, I might actually consider this for my car.
Thanks.

As for home, do you have a link for this Seidio dock? I too have a Seidio case and would like a dock that will work with it.
Hopefully this will work ok. Sending from my phone so it might be wonky:

Sorry bit delayed but yeah it uses the cig lighter for support pretty good, I've got a really stiff head phone jack plugged in so it pulls it a bit and made it a bit loose so rapped some tape round the joint, good for the price.

For me the best dock for Evo 3d Is:

there is also a Hdmi port!!!

Fitting Car Dock in Germany
Hey Guys,
as I am not allowed to post in the Developer Forum yet,
which slowly get's on my nerves (but I get the reasons for it),
I finally found something to post somewhere else that is not completely meaningless.
Does anybody know where to get one of those "good" car mounts in Germany???
I am looking for something like Kidigi Car Mount Cradle CM-HE3D, iGrip perfectFit Vehicle mount or the Seidio one.
I want something with USB pass-through so I just have to put the Evo in.
Even better if the Camera is not obscured.
The Kidigi one is my favorite. Unfortunately the official reseller cjdirect.de seems not to have it yet (i will call them next week).
Only other way for me would be form the US or HongKong which I wouldn't prefer for reasons like tax, delivery time and so on.
I found it on Amazon.fr for 25 Euro but they won't deliver to Germany.
Then I found it in another French shop where they want 41 Euro because of delivery.
The Seido Innotraveler is available on amazon.co.uk für 37 Euro but I don't like the looks so much.
The iGrip I coulnd't finde at all (in Europe).
So if anyone could help me out and suggest something I would really appreciate it. Else, I guess I will call cjdirect and maybe order one from Hong Kong or France.
Nearly forgot, of course i know about the official HTC car kit but I don't like that either, and for 40 Euro I would rather pay 1 Euro more for Kidigi one or go to Hong Kong. Same with the one from Brodit. Just too expensive.
Thanks
I use this one for my HD2 but with a different mounting part. I dont know whether both cameras are uncovered. http://www.ebay.de/itm/KFZ-Halter-H...alterungen&hash=item3f0facce90#ht_2721wt_1113

Thank you. Looks good but is not quite what i was hoping for.
I don't want to handle any cables when I want to load my phone in the car.
As I could'nt find anything else either I guess I just order the Kidigi mount through ebay from Hong Kong.
Ok, as I am really interested in a good car kit, too, maybe you could share your experience here when you have received the product. I am currently preferring this one http://www.pdamax.de/Zubehoer/HTC/EVO-3D/Kfz-Kit-CU-S520-Halterung-Ladekabel,hz-620:338.html or I will just buy a new cradle and put it on my existing model but it seems the major problem with most of the kits is the cameras not having free sight.
This is the official dock by HTC and due to the camera being obscured and
the high price I decided against it.
I will report about the KiDiGi dock as soon as I receive it.
It is on it's way already but tracking with DHL doesn't work yet (if at all).
have you look at the iGrip car dock?
Yes, thes iGrip dock would have been my second choice.
It has the best reviews of all but as it didn't matter
to me if I order from HongKong or the US I chose Kidigi
for it's looks and it's price.
I also found some reviews about the Kidigi docks for the Desire (I guess), here in the xda forum.
Were quite good too.
For all who are interested, you maybe want to checkout amazon.co.uk
for the Seidio Evo 3D Innotraveler Car Dock (not allowed to post links yet)
High Price but would have been my third choice, still better than HTC one because Camera should be free.
You need credit card though, same as in France for Kidigi.
Choose wisely
Anyone used both the iGrip and HTC car dock? I'd like to know which seems more solid. The obscured cameras don't really matter to me on the HTC one because there's a 99.99% chance I won't be snapping pics while driving.
As far as desk docks, I found this. OEM FTW.

You can find articles comparing HTC and igrip docks. HTC seems more solid, less vibrations, according to them.am on my phone, you can find them through Google.
and the camera is not only for taking pictures, which shouldn't be done too frequently , but for example for navigon reality scanner.
how much vibration come purely down to what mounting solution you use, if you choose a low vibration mount or vehicle specific mount any dock can be rock solid, I have the iGrip but I do not use the included suction mount as I hate having it on the windshield, I use a dash friction pad with a different suction mount that allow me to have it sit in between the instructment panel and the GPS LCD on my RDX, if I use it in my Mazda6 I have a Proclip vehicle specific mount (VSM) and that's super rock solid. I don't know about the HTC, but the iGrip Dock use the Herbert Richter (HR) 4 prong mount system so can use any mount that support the HR system or get a adopter plate, that's what I use in my Mazda with the Proclip, screw the plate onto the VSM and off i go, and if my wife want to use a dock on for her iphone its easy to swap also.
Hi, seen a few posts of people modding cases, does this mean the brodit op3 active car charger will work or are any desk top stands specifically for 3 and 3t compatible please?
I've seen people 3d print specific desk mounts for devices before. Might be something to look into if there is a 3d printer place near you or if you own one? They looked awesome!

I'm wondering about this too - specifically the brodit active car holders. Have the dimensions changed at all with regards to charging in a cradle?
I've been using the kidigi desktop charger that I was using with my OnePlus 3. It was about $30 in Amazon, works fine in my 5 with a OnePlus 3 spigen case. The only mods to the case were for the camera , the charging port is ok.
For the truck I have a ram mount x-grip, and a usb C cable, I don't need the dash charger as my drive is usually pretty long.
