Sprint has Evo accessories in

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.

accessories in canada

Hey guys,
I got the tab at i/o and I've been waiting for months to get some accessories. Now it's finally available in Canada and I still can't seem to find any. The source has the book cover case for $65 but that's it. Does samsung sell them? I can't find any way to buy them from their site.
Maybe if best buy ever gets this thing in stock, they'll carry some accessories..
Thanks,
Sam

I haven't been able to find any either. I'm thinking I will prob buy online.

I haven't been able to find any accessories in Canada either. I ended up getting one of those slim TPU cases online through eBay, and a 10" netbook sleeve makes a great carry case I found

I think ebay is your best bet. I was forced to by the book case from the Source yesterday but didn't want to wait 2 weeks for it to be shipped from the UK.

I also bought the Samsung case from the source yesterday. At first I hesitated because it was so expenice, $73 with tax. But I'm glad I got it, as I really like the case. It was the thinnest case I've ever owned, after using many for my ipad.
The material also seems very durable, and does NOT show any finger grease! So no cleaning is required. Also I love the "4 clip at the corners" design. It doesn't cover any basel and I can clip my GT "upside down", which I am currently doing to also better access to the buttons. (I will never use the rear camera so don't care that its covered).

expansys.ca
Has all you need. Cables, adaptors, docks and cases.

also, the source has the book case for $54 right now, i bought it. So thin and light it barely adds to the tablet.

How? I just bought mine, and it was $65 + tax from the Source store. This is the price they have online too.

Nooo, don't order from expansys! They list items in stock and once you proceed through their checkout the item then shows out of stock. Google their reviews and judge for yourself. I was going to buy my tablet from them. Their website said IN STOCK (more than 100) and as soon as I placed my order it showed out of stock. I cancelled my order then.

The samsung case is nice, but sometimes you need to clip it in upside down if you want to use the low angle position (where the flap fits in that groove). Quite a few apps that require landscape mode will not run upside down - so if you don't flip the tablet, your view is upside down. Using the camera is also a HUGE pain with this case. Really, this should be priced at $30, not at an overpriced $65. I still like the case and it's thinness is very nice.
I really want the usb connection kit now...

I hate the source. How can they not automatically adjust the price when the sale is not their own flyer!!! To make it worse, I realized that the sale is not for all stores. Depending on which store your select when you lookup the online flyer, that last page of the flyer may or may not have the $10 off section. Wired, huh?
Luckily, the store where I bought it from did have the sale. I did have to drive back there, and get them to look up their own flyer to give me the $10 refund. The saleperson had no idea what's going on. I wouldn't say she was particularly nice during the process.
The only other store in town that still have stock for the book case was NOT part of the sale. If I pick their store when looking up the online flyer, that bottom section disappeared from the flyer on p. 18.
Once again, I hate the source. Stupidest way of handling their own sale. The whole process felt like I'm getting their to price match a competitor's flyer.

Xoom standard dock on sale at BestBuy - $24.99

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!!!

T989 Tripod?

Looking for a nice sturdy tripod for the T989 to shoot my tennis session with.
Anyone have any suggestions/own any?
Looking for stuff that can be bought in the US. Non of that eBay crap that ships from Hong Kong...

If you want a small tripod get it from Amazon. If you are an Amazon Prime member you will get it shipped in 2 business days unlike 2 weeks from China or HK. The quality on these suck, but keeps your phone still for photos or video.

If you want to use a standard camera tripod, you can just get the cell phone tripod mount to use with a regular tripod.

Yes, i do have Amazon Prime. Already saw the amazon one. Looked at the reviews; it doesn't fit T989.
Not sure how I feel about the second one. Seems like the metal clamp would leave scratches all over the place...

OsoMount Space Mount

http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-exomount-221110/
I just ordered this from Expansys for $34.00 with free hipping. I've been looking for a universal mount that will hold my nexus in the casemate pop case and this thing looks pretty sweet. I found it for $29.00 on Amazon as well but with shipping it was just as much as the one from Expansys and shipping time was minimum 18 days.

I've had this mount for a while now, picked it up somewhere around December/January.. So we're talking less than 6 months now.. no longer wants to stick to anything.. =(
I'm about to go on the hunt for a new car mount, hopefully this works out better for you then it did for me.
EDIT:
Sorry, I apologize, I have the "Exomount Universal Car Mount" not the oso. Let me know how that one works out.

I'll take some pictures when it comes in so you can get a good idea of how it looks with something other than an Iphone in it and I'll test the suction cup out on some different surfaces.
Edit: just looked up the exomount and it looks like the exact same product just A LOT cheaper on Amazon ($13-$15). I might see if I can get a price match. Please different name, address same product. Unless the suction cup is different or something.

That looks similar to the Universal Samsung mount I got from eBay, except that one is made by Pleomax (a division of Samsung C&T).
I only paid $26 for mine though and its of high quality, even has a rubberish gel instead of a suction cup that makes marks on the window, sticks nicely without residue. (anyone remember that sticky rubber stuff you threw at the wall and you watched it crawl down when you were a kid? yeah, something like that stuff)

Remountable
I just got mine and noticed the bottom is kinda sticky. If I want to remount it to another surface I can simply rinse the suction cup to clean it right?
