i currently work for sprint and we just received our evo demo today. we also were informed of the accessories that we would have on launch day. we will have the bodyglove case, silicone cases in red and black, mini HDMI cable for 19.99 and the HDMI dock for $39.99. hopefully this info wasnt already in this forum. i looked but i believe im the first to post about the HDMI dock pricing. to me 39.99 isnt bad for the dock, what do you think???
When will we see the car dock?
unfortunately it just says coming soon
Thanks op...
wondering if radio shack will get those silicone body glove cases..

not at launch day at least...
Do anybody know if the car dock would allow you to place the Evo on it without removing the case? That's going to be the deciding factor for me. I really don't feel like removing the case every time I place it on the dock. If I do, I will just buy a universal dock instead.

This appears to be an OEM version of the official HDMI charging dock. Doesn't come with cables. Uses a standard HDMI cable. Beats the $45 retail price. Perfect timing for full HDMI capabilities.

EDIT: Looks like the seller jacked the price up by $5. But there's still the option to make an offer. Some have mentioned getting it as low as $15. When I first posted this and ordered mine, best offer was not an option.
EDIT: Now up to $40 You can still try to make an offer. According to others he has accepted as low as $15.
Bought one of those a few weeks ago - doesn't include the micro-USB or micro-HDMI cable but it's an awesome dock. (Monoprice.com has the cables for a few bucks)
Big recommendation for this dock.
$20? Dock? HDMI? SOLD!
Anyone know if this will fit an Evo with an extended battery?

No, it specifically says it won't in the auction description.
Nice find! Ordering mine now.
Great find, thank you.
I got this in the mail today. It's definitely the HTC brand. Very high quality. It rests in the dock very snug. You can operate the touchscreen with one finger easily without pushing it over.
Sweet deal, just ordered one.
Just got this for $15 through best offer. Have not even received my Evo and ordering accessories already.
Anyone know though if the phone fits in this with a case like the Innocase or Barely-There case?

No, I really don't think any case will. There is absolutely no extra space in the cut-out for the phone when it is in the dock.
Not a bad price at all. I already have a dock for charging, and I have an HDMI cable for watching movies. I just dont see the benefit of this. I'll just keep my phone laying on its back while I'm watching movies instead of sitting in this dock.... and spend my $20 elsewhere
I'd be all over it if it fit with the platinum case. Don't see the point in removing the case just to dock.
thank you for the tip
Picked one of these up. It works for me because I have a bunch of cables hanging in front of my PC. Have the micro usb hooked to the PC for transferring files, a micro usb plugged into an outlet for faster charging, my micro hdmi cable to hook into my monitor and a mini usb for a camera. This dock eliminates two hanging wires and replaces them with a pretty cool dock =P
just got mine in the mail, perfect condition... and it is HTC oem... its great!!! need pics anyone?

Wow, that sucks. You might as well spend the extra $5 and get the retail version that comes with cables. Of course, I would still try using the make an offer option if anyone wants one.

Just threw the guy a $15 offer...lets see if hes still willing to go that low
My Zenis Desktop Dock just arrived.
For those that are wondering, it will take a "rubber" case – (this case is just a generic no name brand)
I dont have a "hard" case to try.

it 'feels' & 'looks' like a quality product
if you can find who retails these they look pretty good, the link is to manufacturer minimum order 200 lol http://www.china-direct-buy.com/v/4...le_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_i9100_Charger.html
I am using this. Very satisfied for now. Charges the phone with the original SGS2 case on. That was my main reason for buying it. I have not tried to sync with PC using the dock as I use Kies Air mostly. Build quality seems good.
May be other dock users can confirm something, should the phone go in to Dock Mode as soon as it is placed in the dock? i.e. show the desktop clock etc. That does not seem to happen with this dock. Although I have not really experimented with any settings. Actually I'd rather have it just like now so that the phone screen is off when it is charging in the dock.
Just a heads up..
Zenis dock dosnt work with the Case-Mate Tough case.

Thats a given, it makes the phone super thick. At least the neohybrid and barely there can still fit.
anyone know if the case mate pop will fit in the Zenis dock?
or is it still as thick as the case mate tough..
cheers.
I've the same question. Maybe someone tried case mate pop with this dock?
Hi.
Got Zenis dock the other day.
Transferring files takes ages through the dock. Is yours working fine?
Or is mine broken?
Anyone please?
Is your Zenis case working like it should?
With mine data transfer is very slow.

does anyone know if it works with the otter box commuter? It probably doesnt..

Hi guys I've got them both and pop case mate do not fit in Zenis dock, fits only rubber bumber or barely there case mate, thank me if I helped you.
Now would be the time to pick up a standard dock for those that have held out because of the price. I just got one from BestBuy for $24.99 (+tax of course). The sale lasts until the 17th. It's online and in stores.
Motorola - Dock for Motorola XOOM Tablets
I've been thinking about this all day but would much rather have the HD speaker dock. Ill have to think about this all week since its on sale- no rush to have a dock charger unless it was the HD speaker dock.
I purchased at this price 2 months ago. Could someone link the thread on modding the dock to include the USB port?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Also some decent price drops on Xoom accessories at Best Buy UK
This appears to likely only fit an un-cased Xoom. Are there any docks out there that work with something like the otterbox?

It has plate that you can change that will work with some cases. I've got a thinner one that works fine on it. It looks like it 'raises' the little platform with the plugs on it by about 1-2mm, so if your case is thicker, it won't work.
best buy in canada has the speaker docks at 64.99 and the standard docks at 29.99
Hey guys if you buy this you can mod it to have USB connectivity. Here's a link to the DIY:

It looks like this sale is still going on at their website.
Add the dock to your cart and you'll see it for 24.99 USD.
Just bought one for in-store pickup.

Picked mine up today for $24 then saw this post. I plan on putting mine on the mantle wired to my home theater receiver for slacker radio.
Ordered mine... should be at the store for pick up tomorrow!!!
Hi,
I was looking to pick up a desktop dock. I am using a Seido charger from my Treo pro days. It seems to charge very very slowly (it is plugged in via usb). I was looking for a nicer cradle/dock that would fit my E4GT with a TPU case.
Is there anything out there?
Thanks,
Rich
Here is the Samsung stand/spare battery charger. It doesn't charge the phone but comes with a spare battery and cable to plug in/charge. I have a generic TPU/Hybrid case from eBay and it fits the standard in both portrait and landscape trouble free. Quite like it.

whats the cheapest place to get one of these?
Check Amazon. Picked mine up for just a little over $30 shipped if I recall right. I really like it.

I was just snooping around for a cradle/dock that would work with a case. The one I found seems to fit the bill. Search for eBay item 220936397990. Anyone have any hands-on with this cradle?
Might check the fine print on that ebay cradle. It clearly states that cases must be removed from most US models of the GSII in order to work.
Not to say it won't...
EDIT: Nevermind, I don't read to well. You have to remove the cushion from the cradle.
Well I just purchased two. If you want to hold off, I'll let you know how it turns out with a TPU case and a Body Glove case
Please let us know how it works with your case.
How did that go for you? Did you get it yet?
I guess we will never know...
Search my posts, I posted the exact dock I got, that works with my TPU case and posted pictures with links to the products I used. I did have to take a bit of the sides with a dremel tool, but I got 3 docks and did all 3 in about 15 min and they all work perfectly.
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks - I ordered the dock, did the mod with the dremel & it works great!
if you want a car mount (suction cup) get the nuvi 200 mount on ebay (around $4)
WITH tpu case fits perfect snug enough to hold but not damage. Very nice.
won't work without TPU case (too loose a fit)
Ebay - 220983308911
$4.15 Shipped
Ok ... So after much searching, and not being happy with what I found out there, I finally came up with a solution to a dock that works with the TPU case I have for my E4GT ... Photos attached. The links below are to the case I have, and the dock I bought.
The only thing extra I had to do was take a dremel and widen the sides a bit, took me about 5 min to do each dock( did 3, all working fine ). Let me know what you think, could be a solution for those out there with this popular case and want a working dock that both charges and syncs
I may clean it up a bit, right now my only gripe, and it's a small one, is the phone sits a little to "straight up", which I'm sure could be fixed with a little more dremel work, but for 5 min and $11 it's a good solution in my eyes
TPU Case

How much wiggle room ya got? I've got a Casemate on mine, which adds substantially more bulk than your TPU seems to add.

Yea, that probably wont work for you then ... I can take as much as I need off the back, can take about 1/8" more off each side, but the bottom is pretty tight...
Thanks RubenRybnik, i bought the this cradle off ebay, from your recommendation, for my Sprint ET4G with an extended battery (3800 mah)...works great! I have no TPU case...just the extended battery and back cover. The seller shipped it fast from Korea...product only comes with the dock only-no usb cable or ac adapter. No problem for me since I have many micro usb cables around. He lowered the price to $10.90 (i paid $11.30)...
