I was at the at a corporate AT&T store yesterday with my wife getting her and upgrade and I managed to snag a car dock for $5. They have them on sale as they no longer carry the Atrix. Figured I'd let you guys know in case you were looking for one.
I really, really enjoy mine. One of the things I dread about upgrading phones is having to deal with universal docks.

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.
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:

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.
Is there a Marketplace forum for me to list my accessories for sale or can I do it here? I was looking forward to this phone so much that I bought my accessories before I bought the phone. But between the Atrix's locked bootloader and AT&T's foolishness, I'll probably never own the thing.
I have a Otterbox Commuter case and a genuine Motorola car charger both new in box to sell. And when I say new in the box I literally mean that I haven't even opened the box that they were shipped to me in. The case was purchased directly from Otterbox and the charger from Amazon.
You might as well keep the car charger; any phone you are likely to get will use microusb. Plus, that is a good one and they are cheap as dirt.
Yeah, not to be a buzz kill, but genuine chargers are on Amazon for $4ish. Probably not worth the shipping...
Yeah, I agree about the charger. I am really looking to get something back for the $30 case I bought and never used.
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?

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!!!
I don't know if this is the place to ask, I haven't seen anything like this but here goes:
I bought my Otterbox refurbished from an eBay seller. It's in great shape, came working well, except I have a problem: me. I keep breaking the clips, I've broken one on another phone and the one I got for my Atrix. Does anyone have a spare clip I can buy or has someone switched from Otterbox and doesn't want to go back?
I can buy another refurbished case/clip combo for $13 shipped. That might not seem like a lot but right now money is extremely tight (my medical disability ran out even though the doc hasn't said I can go back to work). Anything cheaper would be great.
Edit: Why do the clips keep breaking? I'm a cable installer, the belt clips themselves keep getting caught on stuff in small spaces. I've been without one for a while now and I'm getting fed up with the monsterous thing in my pocket
They have a pretty good warrenty, I sent them a few pictures of my Iphone clip after it broke in 2 spots and they sent me a new one after a few days.
