Thanks,
I just bought one.
I would also like to say thanks for the link
I have the same thing but with a vent mount on it. I love it.
Thanks for the link!
Nice!! Thanks. Going on my list.

Judging by the pics, it LOOKS like it will turn for a horizontal view...does it?
Hey... good lookin' out! Thanks for the link!
Also, what if I have a case on my phone? Will it fit in this cradle?
Second on the case question...
It won't fit with any case. It holds just the phone, nicely though.

No case will fit .. there is however a fella on eBay that sells custom made holders for the Desire HD/Inspire 4G with either the Otterbox Defender or Commuter Cases .. only problem, you're going to pay $30 for that holder.
Here is the link for those holders:

Thx for the link. Just ordered mine. Can't wait for it to arrive!
I got something similar from china for $5. It works fine and like this one no case on the phone.
I wanted the original one from HTC but it's almost $50.

Same seller has an adjustable holder. It necessarily looks a little more clunky than the one tailored to the Desire HD/Inspire.
For seven dollars, I think I'll give it a shot.
I would post a link, but I need to go post some more first!
Hit the original link and browse the vendor's store and you should see it.

It arrived and it works. Should fit pretty much any case or phone. Rotates through three hundred and sixty degrees and I can still plug in a power and audio cable. The holding mechanism works quite well. There are two hard "prongs" holding the bottom of the phone in place, and two ratcheting grips on either side that are pushed closed. They have rubber padding. I was concerned they would hold down the volume control but it isn't an issue.
That's pretty cool looking.

I'm looking for an armband type case for my Desire HTC to use when out running or on the bike. I want to take the phone for emergency's and also because i use SportyPal to track my route, etc.
I don't really want to pay a lot, under £10 would be perfect.
I've had a look around and found one on the auction side for that kind of money but no others. Any body got any recommendations?
Also wondering if there is a different phone of a similar size that has more and would be compatible with the Desire HD
Cheers
Carl
Well, the HTC HD2 and the EVO 4G have nearly identical dimensions.
So anything for those two should work with the Desire HD.
I'm also in the market for something like this but I haven't looked for anything yet.
I use an armband that I got when I owned an ipod touch, I no longer have the ipod, but my desire hd fits in the armband perfectly, only cost a fiver from ebay too

i just got my TuneBelt AB83 this afternoon, i only purchased it as we are theme park freaks and ive lost a few phone on nemesis at alton towers.
the armband is actually very good, and comfy to use, the suprise for me was the touchscreen still works when in the case.
it has the holes on the bottom as well for your headphones, but it takes a bit of effort to make it sit correctly in the case.
it is rather expensive for what it is, and im sure a couple of months down the road it will be a lot cheaper, but it still works out cheaper than looseing another phone.

Thanks for the tip. I've ordered the same one from another UK-seller. Hope to receive it within a few days and post my findings here.
I used my iPod touch arm band for a while, but the phone was too big and would stick out a bit and was very tight! Not a problem in the summer, but when it rains the phone gets wet.
I've ordered a tunebelt from amazon to replace it. Can't see how the phone will fit in an iPhone case, as the size is wrong

Well, I received this APPLE IPHONE 3GS 3G BLUE SPORT ARMBAND and as promised, here are my findings:
Pro's:
- The DHD fits snugly into the pouch, the width perfect.
- The On/Off-switch, headphone jack and micro-usb port are easily accessible through the open parts of the pouch.
- It looks pretty decent.
Cons:
- The Volume-Up/Down buttons are not accessible through a hole in the pouch. It's quite difficult to operate these buttons and because of the snug fit, it's easy to accidentally push one or both the volume buttons. I'm considering to cut into the fabric to make these buttons accessible, but am afraid that this might destroy the pouch altogether.
- The height of the DHD fits into the pouch, but since this armband is designed for a slightly smaller phone, the top of the screen (notification bar) is difficult to read/pull down.
- There seems to be some excess glue on the inside of the pouch and this transfers to the sides of my DHD so I have had to wipe my DHD clean a few times.
TuneBelt AB83
Anyone bought this?
Yes, i have. I use it with a Casemate Barely-there. It's a tight fit, but perfectly usable.
I use it for running.
yes the AB83 was the one i bought
wife tried it lastnight said it did its job well
held the cable out of the way, held the phone securely so yeah recommended
Anyone see these? Seems to be the ultimate car mount for those who are getting the otterbox

Cool, let's see those pics and a review. My Commuter is coming in the mail soon, I'm thinking about grabbing one of these mounts..
Yeah I'm in need of a car mount, please post pix and a short review
My quick review is this thing is totally worth 30. Holds onto glass like Pam Anderson sucks Chrome off a tow ball.
I'll post pics tomorrow, but it rocks. Has a camera hole, grips the phone nicely, and extends out far so its not to far to reach.
Seller shipped quick and delivered as promised.

Will any of these docks automatically place the phone in desk clock mode?

Here is the dock I use.
http://www.bracketron.com/products/universal-usb-power-dock
Very well made and pretty durable. I use this in a semi truck and have had no problems with it. Instead of ordering from the site though, just stop by a flying j or pilot truck stop, if you have one near you. They sell this dock for 24.95.
Using the CM barely there case for the DHD, really barely there, probably the slimmest case. Might wanna check it out if other cases dont fit on dock
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
hmm, didn't see any nice phone docks there, some very odd looking ones on that brando.com website.
Any nice phone docks that I can sit my phone in while at work ?
Even if it's not a perfect fit, something I can easily adapt with a dremel, and good intentions
I know there's a million iphone "media" docks, something similar is what I am looking for.
Also cheap would be good.
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5657
Is there a dock that will allow docking with a case on the Inspire?

Mine's in the mail (free shipment from HK = not the fastest). If this thread is still active when I get it I'll make a post.
Well, I just got one, and it looks and feels just as good as it does in the picture. Comes with a decent cable+adapter and the phone fits nicely. However, I am assuming because of how it's built and covers the battery cover I lose all signal within a minute of putting it into the charger...very disappointing.

Does the Inspire know that it is docked when you put it in the dock? Does the clock app start?
It knows that you're docked, but it doesn't automatically open the Desk Clock application. I'll try to remember to post some pics tomorrow. It looks good, but is a finger print magnet.

Here some pictures of the Body Glove case from TMoUS. It is about the same thickness/bulk of the TMoUS Gel case. Very nice quality but dread taking it apart! The two halves snapped together very firmly. I compared it to the Gel case and both are great choices depending on whether you need a belt clip/stand.

I just ordered one online for like 17.99 with a free shipping code. I'll see if that is the same as the one pictured. I'll repost back and let you all know so others can order it with free shipping at a better price.
I have the expansys cradle on order as well but is not released for another 40 days or so. I also ordered a leather verticle leather case from ebay(a cheappy one) for work, but I guess I'll see which I'd prefer. I ordered the body glove one for the reason that it can kind of serve as a dock.

I really wish I knew. The description just says "GEL" and nothing else.
Been searching for hours to try and find any manufacturer info but no luck
This is the best bit of information I could find - this case is for the Desire HD but it's made by Qubits and I should assume they'd be similar:

Wow that looks real nice. Dammit, I guess I'll be getting a third case.

Yay my case has arrived!
Perfect fit, all the cut-outs line up 100%
I've never had a TPU case before but I think that's what this is - it's a bit firm but still flexible with a slight rubbery feel.
It does add a wee bit of bulk but I feel much safer holding the phone with the case on.
I'm at work now but will take some photo's this evening.

Yeah button access is good. They're not cut out so you do have to press a wee bit harder. But they did put some ridges on the inside of the cover so it's not a mission - I'm a relatively small built female and I don't have any trouble
here some pics .......
edit: the case effects wi-fi, when i use the phone with no case 25-30 feet away from the router i usually get 1 to 2 bars of wifi no problem with the case i get no wi-fi that far off...
Sorry for taking so long to upload these... But here are the photo's as promised
Pity about the wifi eddie3six, mine seems fine. But it seems there's a few different builds of the Sensation.
Your case is awesome!
