i went to my sprint corporate store this morning to see what universal car mounts they have. I then asked if,they had any cases in and he checked. He came back and was like we do have some in. He texted his district manager to see if he could sell me one. But while waiting, this other sells associate came out and said he couldn't sell it to me cause they're not in inventory yet. Whatever that means. I'm going to stop by there again after i get off work. Hopefully they been then changed shifts.
By the way I did buy a very nice car mount for my Evo. It was originally $39.99 but with my sprint premier customer discount it was like $29.99. I will take pics of it later and post them.

I want that dock too. Take some pics.
Fast take the PIC of the Car Dock
Is it the custom car dock that was shown at the Sprint press conference, or some generic one?

Man how much time it takes you to send us the PICs man ?
when i asked at the sprint store, they said they will be selling evo accessories starting on the 3rd
Sorry for the delay everybody. But when I made my main post I was just clocking into work and didn't have any time to take any pics of the dock. Also I did not buy the actual HTC dock. I bought a universal dock from sprint. But this dock is real sweet. With the HTC Evo dock I believe if you plan on using a case with the Evo, it'll have to be removed before placing it on the mount.
Here is some of the pics of the car mount I bought. Sorry about the smudges on the Evo. I forgot to wipe them off before I took the pic.
is that the 'official' dock? no charging module attached?
What do you guys think about these docks Amzer has? (sorry can't post links)
amzer DOT com/HTC/HTC-EVO-4G/Vehicle-Mounts.htm
I am contemplating getting the universal 8-inch one:
amzer DOT com/Amzer-Universal-8-inch-Gooseneck-Vehicle-Mount-P83822.htm
I would love to wait and see if they would release a fully featured kit like the N1, but I'm not holding my breath. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with these? I can't tell if they're bad quality or not. Thanks in advance.

No, it's not the official dock. However, the reason I got this dock instead of the official is because the official dock looks like the Evo will not fit correctly if you have a case on it.
So therefore I bought this universal car mount from Sprint. I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. And I don't have to remove the case off my Evo when I sit it on the Mount.
I got two cases today
Nice, where did you get those from? Was it Sprint?

can you mount to somewhere other than the windshield? My gps is there and 2 things on the windshield would be too many....I could screw it onto something else though if possible...
If you're talking about the mount I posted then yes you can also mount it to the dash.

I just stopped at the Sprint store and bought a Body Glove case for my Evo. They had several to choose from plus the Screen protectors. He offered me 20% off if I were to buy 2 items. But I'm a Sprint Premier Customer. Therefore, I just bought the case. I already ordered me a Zagg Screen protector.
When I was there, the UPS gut brought in about 6-8 boxes. I'm assuming they were Evos.
The case with the Evo, fits perfectly into my car mount also
I really haven't been too impressed with any Evo cases I've seen so far.
Can anyone give a review of the white with chrome case? A side and front picture would help as well as I heard people saying it was a one piece case.

I actually like the Body Glove case. The other cases seemed a little flimsy to me. I liked the white case also but the chrome on it made me change my mind. And i definitely wasn't going to buy a silicone case.
I'm hoping Bestbuy will have the HDMI docks tomorrow. I want to buy one of those. Then I'll be done.
I've played with the 3 in 1 case, and it's solid. It looks nice, and has a soft touch finish to it.

it's meant for HD2, but I bought it to see if it will fit. it's $3.10 with free shipping, how can I resist?

I'll update with pics once I get it.
i ordered microhdmi cables from them ~1 month ago and finally got last week. haha. I bought two but they sent three. And they work well. go figure.
They ship this from hong kong and it can take a long time before you get it.
nice. I saw it too, but saw that the amzer cables are cheaper and longer as well. also, sorry, I just noticed that there was an accessories forum.
got the pouch and tried it today. it's a little snug since it's meant for the HD2, but it fits well. the quality is great; nothing spectacular but not crappy either. to my great surprise, it has an HTC logo on the front of it which is great. here are some pics I took with my phone. note: my phone is in upside down.
no comments? =(

its a generic universal smartphone leather pouch with belt clip nothing fancy let me boot back into fresh so i can take pics, im using bakedpastaries right now, front cam is not ideal for picture takin ;p
here ya go http://wasd321.imgur.com/evo
$50 Radioshack giftcard towards my evo also included $25 off any accessories, so naturally RS's overpriced generic body gloves were conveniently priced at $25 so I ended up paying for tax only.

For those wanting a quality car mount, here it is. ProClip stuff is awesome. Its pricey but it works.
Completely worth it if you go with the fixed install.
I just ordered mine, I've always loved proclip.
Ordered!
I've been waiting for this bad boy to come out.
I wish that they would sell the basic holder without the swivel. I think that the entire mounting system looks much better without it. Oh well I'll just throw it in a box like I did for my G1 swivel mount.
I have a N1 ProClip holder somewhere around here. I need to see if I can figure out a way to mate it to a quality suction cup mount. If so, Ill get the Evo one.
do u guys know if the non-adjustable one works w/ the innocase II case? doesn't look like it, but figured i would ask....
this can be in landscape mode no problem huh? i should mention and it stays in landscape mode without any movement?
i bet this would work nice with an otterbox too...
hmmmmm
any videos anyone?
I dont think it swivels without leaving it loose.
I was thinking about it, but it us too expensive,i might just try a cheapo vent mount one to start

I'm sure this will work:

Yeah, it's for an HD2 but it may work..the Evo is just a fraction of a millimeter thicker, but essentially the same dimensions. The holder is wide open so all the buttons are exposed including a hole in the back of the holder for the speaker/camera. Even if I have to mod the holder a little once I have it, for $7 and free shipping and it fits on a standard Nuvi mount, which I got rid of anyway now that I have the phone's better Navigator....I'll take a chance with it before spending over $50 for a product that does the same thing. Just my two cents.
It should be here in a couple of days, as I ordered it about 5 days ago....I'll let you all know how it works out.
Cheers
i guess im out of luck since im using the sedio rugger holster.

Use the ProClip iPhone holder that they also suggest for EVO's with cases.
I want to get a leather holster case for my Evo. I have the Sprint 2600mah extended battery, so it's of course extra thick. I compared it with a friend's Epic 4G and it seems to be similar in size (just a hair thicker). I was thinking about getting the Sprint leather Pouch for the Epic (http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Samsung-Epic-Leather-Pouch/dp/B0041NF3PO), but wanted to know if anyone has tried it out or has a better suggestion? All I'm worried about is that it's good quality, good looking case and that my Evo will fit into.
Thanks!
Just go to your local mall and buy one from one of the booths. Just try em all till you find one that fits.

That's what I've been looking to do. I haven't tried the case at a local Sprint store/booth, but plan to try it out next time I'm near one. The problem is that there's only a few cases available at local stores, but online has a much wider variety to choose from. I was hoping there might be something maybe better looking and at a better price. Example: The case I linked in the original post was $15 on Amazon, but if I went to a local store to pick it up I'd pay $35.

Hey not sure where you live but in my area I have gone to Walgreens and they have a big bucket of cell phone cases which are 2 for $10. They are leather and I have like 4 different ones for my EVO. They also have a swivel belt clip
Well if you're feeling crafty and industrious you could always grab some supplies from your local leathercraft store and make one. I carried every phone I've owned up to and including my Touch Pro in a holster I made. To see what I mean you can visit THIS POST in Android Forums.
I really have no excuse for not making a case for my Hero and Evo too. To be a Pete who's frank, I think Sloth has something to do with it. I started using the Seidio Innocase and Clip Holster and found 'em satisfactory enough, but I do miss the protection and good looks of good old-fashion cowhide.
Ok, that does it! Where are my tools and hide?

That is the most beautiful case I've ever seen! I wish I was that skilled/talented to make something like that for my Evo. I LOVE the look of that case. Are you for hire?
I got this case from an amazon reseller. Fits well with this battery and it's really cheap. I'm going to buy a few more as backups.

Used my old no-namer from ebay that had for old ipone. works perfectly even with extended battery thanks to its expandible sides. Its an upright case with leather/metal clip. Cant stand sideways cases and despise plastic clips..just my opinion.
I can confirm the HTC EVO w/ the Sprint Extended battery fits PERFECTLY with the side leather case pouch that Verizon sells for the Droid X I got it from my local verizon store for 24.99. Case is well built, looks great. Only downside is that it says "Verizonwireless" on the case
Its finally here!! Check out their website. WWW.otterbox.com

ive never used one, so i ordered one to try out
I had one for my old blackberry, and one for my eris, loved them both. I def plan on getting one for my D2.
I am returning my Otterbox Cummuter case. I was very disappointed with the fit of the top part of the case. It leaves a big gap on the lower left side, and when you slide the keyboard out, you have to push on that flimsy part. Seems like bad engineering. I think it would get snagged in my pocket also. I will be going back to the Seido Innocase - seemed a lot better after comparing the two.
Review thread @ droidforums.net /forum/droid-2-accessories/115571-droid-2-otterbox-commuter-case-review.html
I don't have any issues with my commuter case, but I will agree, I am disappointed with the build quality of it.
I have had Otterboxes for two of my Blackberries and had absolutely no problems with them. So I recommended the Commuter to my buddy for his Droid 1. The top part immediately broke within a couple days. He called Otterbox who happily replaced it for him. The second one immediately broke. When he called back they actually told him they know there is a problem with the Droid Commuter cases. However, they have no intension of stopping the sale of a bad product. I'm assuming the Droid 2 cases will most likely have the same problem. So I'm steering clear.
Just my 2 cents. I was a fan of Otterbox until they burned my buddy.

I've heard of people having issues, however I've had mine for a while. When I'm out and about its in my pocket. I've dropped it (onto a hardwood floor) once. I personally have had no issues with it...Except that it wont fit in the home dock or vehicle dock
Speaking of docks. I bought the really thin snap on case Verizon had in their store. I was thinking of getting a dock for my office. Does anyone have experience using just a regular droid2 dock with a case (before I run out and buy one?)

Yes it will work, the dock has an removable insert to fit phones with/without case. As does the vehicle dock.

Sure it will, if you leave the battery door off.
Here is an interesting idea...in my search for the best cover/case, i have purchased at separate times both the otterbox and the verizon cover for the Droid2. IM now using the otterbox back, cuz it looks cool, and the verizon front because it fits better than the otterbox front. So far im liking my setup.
Any kind of stand or something? It's like my main computer but I have to hold it all the time

Deal extreme is great, just takes for ever for something to get here most of the time. I have waited as long as a month for it to work its way here and through customs. I think they opened up some state side shipping locations, but it doesn't seem to have helped.
