Anyone found a cradle yet?

The usual places haven't showed up with one yet. I see some in the UK but none in the US just yet.

Can you post a link to where you saw them in the UK Please.

Yes please let us know where you have found a cradle in the UK. Im fed up of the USB cable on my desk..

The cradle for the Wizard / Cingular 8125 works...
I purchased a BoxWave desktop charger for my Wizard and just tried it with the Touch and it fits perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/Wizard-Cingul...6630?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1185404711&sr=8-1
The charge jack can also be flipped around (remove 6 screws and reinstall) to work with a P3600, P4350, TyTyn/Hermes.

i bought 2 of that cradles... Price for one Cradle is 14,80€, i think thats ok!
http://cgi.ebay.de/USB-Dockingstati...ryZ15396QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Moco-Service seems not to be professional! Sent them a few mails with requests, but no reply... BAD

Any other cradles out there, specifically available to ship in the US?
Thanks

I registered for an update on BoxWave (for upcoming HTC Touch accessories) and received an email today. They now have a cradle....
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easyfinder/buy-best-htc-touch-accessories_2727.htm

I found like 3 or 4 different cradles now, all suitable for the touch, but what I'd really like to see is a cradle with integrated 3.5mm jack
Actually the following as a cradle...
(from amazon)
Do you think something like that will be available anywhere soon? I already thought of purchasing that and somehow "build" a cradle areound it.
I've got the exact same functionality in my >5 year-old MDA (I?) cradle and it's really useful.
Regards, zimbl

I'll second that thought!
I'm going to crack the one I got from Brando (see my earlier post here) with a penknife and plug my HTC adaptor into it myself.

I have two different HTC Touch cradles available: one with spare battery charger, and one without (see pictures attached).
The small cradle (no additional battery charger) is US $15.
The cradle with additional battery charger is US $20.
Shipping to just about any country is US $8.
PM me if you would like more details / would like to order one.

Looking for folks that actually own a cradle and can report back what they like/don't like... and which one they ended up buying?
The cradles for the touch don't look very - how you say - sleek? Very old school for such a nice phone

I like the looks of the boxwave cradles but here's another one that charges from the usb.

I agree.
I'm really disappointed with the cradles I've seen. They're not attractive to me.

I have this one and have found it to work very well

I kinda like the $1 one better for my desk... Clean, minimalistic look I guess.

dam that looks legit!

The angle is not steep enough to be useful for bedside though IMO. For a desk, yes...
Nightstand, no.

This one actually sucks!! Holds your Captivate great for the first couple of weeks, then you have to wash it and let it dry and then re use it else it keeps falling off... I have the Car mount and it is a serious waste of money!

cool. but ill stick to a shoe box

Three words: business card holder. At work I use a plastic one for my phone. I know the dollar store has wire mesh ones, could easily cut up an old mouse pad or something for padding/non-slip.

Mugen Desktop Dock with Second Battery charger

I just got a confirmation email for shipment for two of these docks
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...sb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html#
Anyone try them out yet? If they're decent enough, i'm probably going to get a third.

please give us a review once you do receive it. I'm still looking for a good dock w/ battery slot for my SGS2.

Mugen are nice but beware of their free shipping option
i order a battery for my old Desire Z, it's been shipped on Feb 7th
i received it last week...
after they refunded me 3 weeks before + 5% coupon LOL

KiDiGi products are quality products. That 's for sure, I know because I have bought some of them during the last 1 year.
The only disadvantage that someone could find in this desktop craddle, is that the spare battery slot is made only to exactly fit the original 1650mAh samsung battery.
So if you later want to buy an extended battery it won't fit in the slot!!!
Otherwise it is one of the most beautiful and quality docks out there!

I got the battery docks and one issue. Adapter that came with the kit is not for US power plugs

Look at the label on the wall wart and see if it says 110-240 VAC input range. If so, all you need is an mechanical el cheapo adapter like eBay 260826060985. (Sorry, can't post links yet.)

This is exactly the type of destop charger and sync I have been looking at an UK website: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-dual-desktop-charging-cradle-p29886.htm
But did not know if they ship to the USA, so I had sent them an email asking them this question but have not heard from them. Can anyone confirm if this are exactly the same models?

Just ordered this one, and returning the official samsung dock as i found it to be very jerky. This looks wayy better, can't wait.

It seems to be identical but it's definitely not the pictured kidigi unit. It's a knockoff
ignore the picture quality. I took it with my BB

USB OTG Host Cable only 4.99 and next day shipping on Ebay!

Angled Micro USB OTG Adapter for $6.95
Personally, I much prefer angled OTG Adapters like this:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I first got a normal one that looked like what you linked to, but I ended up replacing it with that angled adapter after getting tired of the straight one getting in the way or jabbing me. If anyone's interested, the eBay listing I bought it from is still online. It ships from the US and I received mine two days after I ordered it. I originally paid $8.95, but it looks like the price has gone down to $6.95 now. It's still more expensive than a straight adapter or something from China, but I think the angled adapter is definitely worth it!

Thanks for the link milkman.

No problem. I figured I'd point the angled adapters out as long as someone's putting up another thread about OTG cables. I certainly wish I had known of them before I ordered my first regular adapter, so I thought other people probably would too. I linked to that cable a while ago on this forum, but I think the old thread is buried by now. Enjoy!

so what do you connect to the xoom to use this?

ahhh I see
I just looked, they got some decent deals for 32 gig flash drives, that can be a good deal.
I guess it can also accept those small external HDs
can you play videos right from the flash drive or gotta transfer them?

Play from the flash drive.

I ordered a an angled USB OTG cable from newegg.com. It was only $4 and free shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0PG06U1118 Later, I found the same one on amazon for $2.25 and free shipping http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...7KYU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1323545145&sr=8-7 (same seller and everything...)

Thanks for the tip, just ordered two of these from Amazon.

Breffo SpiderPodium

I bought a few days ago the Breffo Spider Podium with some doubt about the size, but once in my hands the result is spectacular.
To use as dock, as camera support (to timelapse for example), to see tv or videos, simply espectacular.
two days from amazon.com, and a reasonable price.
Search it!

I broke leg on it...but apart from that is so helpful thing

So now you don't think it's at all too small? Definately no need to go for the Spider Podium Tablet model?

One more question, how well does it fold up (obviously it can fold up) securely and safely for travel in a bag or something... Anyone can upload a pic of it folded up nicely for travel? Do you guys use some kind of pouch for it or just loose?

Nice. Just one thing. It's hard to judge, but from the little info provided there it seems a bit on the small side...

Great find! Just a little worried if its the actual Breffo branded one or just a generic no brand one since its half the price of the amazon ones. Anyone willing to take one for the forum? =D

That's right, the size info does not seem to match what you read in the breffo.com product-info page, for instance:
Chinese page: 10) Size: 195x51x5mm
Breffo page: Thickness: 7mm
