Hi,
Here is my new DIY Nexus One car holder I just put together:
The base is from Garmin nüvi 200 series and the holder for phone is just plain hard shell I bought very cheap from eBay.
What do you think?

Curious how it holds up in the car, but looks pretty good and low profile.

It looks great and slim also holds phone quite well.
Here are few photos in 'action' (sorry for the mess in my garage):
That looks really good. Much better than my "universal" POS that wobbles and rattles and occaisonally drops my phone:

Can you link to the case you bought (or a similar one) please?
And where did you get the base? Was it a spare you had?

I'm new user and I am not permitted to post outside links.
For case just search for 'BLACK HYBRID HARD BACK CASE FOR HTC GOOGLE NEXUS ONE' on UK eBay.
For base search 'GARMIN NUVI WIDESCREEN MOUNT FOR 200, 200T, 200W & MORE' - you will get several results from Hong Kong - they are very cheap.
I've attached photo of this mount.
You just have to cut off two horns on Garmin cradle and stick it on case with some thin mirror bond sticky pads.
Hope this is not too confusing.
Not confusing at all. You've made the whole thing very clear, in fact!
Thank you for the info. I'll be making mine very soon!
WOW BRILLIANT IDEA. JUST ORDERED THE PARTS. Do you think it's better to use superglue instead of mirror adhesive?

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.
I think superglue will also works but I put mirror tape for future considerations - it will be easier to remove tape and change shell case when I change phone.

lol you're always one step ahead of me. Thanks for the idea
Haha I have the exact same holder and a very similar case and I was trying to come up with a way to make them work together. I hadn't considered getting another case and then modifying the garmin holder. I'll be doing this as well!
Rinegpeace, can you please give some comment about the quality of the back case? How thin is it? rubbery on the inside/outside? Would you feel comfortable using the phone with the case on all the time?
Thanks in advance!

For everyday use I would pick little harder case. This one is thin and it is very easy to pull phone in and out. This is preferable for car dock but for real case it is maybe too flexible.
After couple days of testing I feel very secure about holding my N1 while driving and even if you turn this dock upside down it will hold your phone in the cradle. So, maybe you will like it as everyday case.
Here is one short video of detaching and attaching my N1 in this car dock:

that's awesome, thanks mate!
You can also get the air vent mount for the nuvi instead of the suction mount. I kinda don't want it to stick to glass so this is nice.
what are those mirror adhesive pads? buy them at home depot?

You'd be better off finding them at an automotive store or maybe walmart if they are to repair a rear view mirror that fell off inside a car as I'm suspecting.
This has been featured in Lifehacker some weeks ago, with the same materials... the idea was from a OcUK user.
I've already made one myself for my HTC Legend and it looks great, it was cheap, and it's really sturdy.
Is it me or does the first photo in the original post look like it has a windows logo!?!
This is a great idea. I just finished it for my Touch Pro 2 with no problems. I hvae a slight difference though. I cut the very top off of the silicon case so that my tp2 can slid in and out with ease. Although there is plenty of friction to keep it in normally.
I just wanna say that after 2 days of using this in my car it is just working absolutely perfectly. The easy rotation is very convenient and it looks really good as well, being so form fitting to my phone.
Now that is cool.
I shall be getting the bits this week.
Hi there,
I am looking for a charging dock that accommodates my DHD without me having to remove the protection case (Case-Mate Barely There).
Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I just need it to charge the device, no further USB connectivity features needed.
I guess the usual Desire HD docks are all fitting so tightly that a case won't work with them, right?
Anyway, if you have any tips for me, I'd appreciate it
I'm looking for the same thing.
I'm signing up under this one as well
Sent from my HTC Desire
I've just received my Spiderpodium which does the job and is futureproof.
Its basically a rubbery type material which you can bend into various configurations and I am using it in the car right now and it works wonderfully.
I have bought a black one, it may not look as nice as custom made docking stations however is very practical.
Here's a link where it is demonstrated on an IPOD Touch however, I am using it with my DHD with a Otter commuter case attached and it works brilliantly.

Spiderpodium looks nice, wish there was something like that, but with the option of those sticky,sucky things that most gps use to attach to windows etc

My main reason for going for the Spiderpodium was because I did not want to get the windscreen "sucky" thingy. With this it leaves no marks, just sticks into the grills of my Mk5 golf which has the grills at a decent level to use sat-nav at a good viewing angle. It also holds the Wifes i-phone 4. If there is a need to, I can easily remove it from the car and use as a dock too.
Nice but I need one that I just slide in and it will charge my phone without need of connecting usb cable manually

Yup, same here - I just want to plug my phone straight in without fiddling with cables..
I have one of those cheap Chinese-made docks, I used a dremel tool to make the recess a bit bigger. It's not pretty but it fits in nicely.
I would be amazed if someone made a dock for a case. It's hard enough to get a dock for a phone, which sells millions, I would be really surprised if someone made a dock for a case which sells only in it's thousands.
Take a look at the Clingo -
http://hemorrdroids.net/clingo-universal-podium-phone-and-media-desk-stand/
It does require you to plug in the USB charger, but as I say, I think you'll have to live with that.

Hmm that doesnt look too bad , neither does the spiderpodium though..
So, has anyone found an active dock that will work with a protective case on the phone.
I really miss having a cradle for my phone at work, but cant be doing with taking it in and out of it's gel case all day long...

I bought the Amazon one and am the second reviewer of it. The one thing I forgot to mention is how bright the LED is. It literally lit up my room at night and I could walk around as if I had a nightlight on. I cover it with electrical tape and problem solved. I also edited that review.

This is perhaphs a stupid questions but just wanna be sure since the last time I bought a dock for my HTC Sensation, it came with two different cables - one for data transfer/syncing and another for charging and neither would do both at the same time which was obviously not what I wanted and so had to return it and all that drama.
My question is - Does this dock allow you to do data transfer/sync and charge the device at the same time?
Thanks!

Since you bought it, let me ask you: Do you know if my phone will fit into the dock without taking off the TPU case that I keep the phone in?
I have this dock and the Diztronic case. It will NOT fit with the case on. It makes the phone too thick and just slightly too long to line up with the USB port.

I don't know. I don't use a case on mine. But how thick is the side on that case? It probably wouldn't without taking the case off.
EDIT : I tried my brothers One S on my dock because his has a silicon case. It's a thin case, and with it on you can use the dock as a stand, but it's not quite enough for data or power connection. Given that, the TPU case here looks small enough that it might work.

I just ordered the Hyperion stand from Amazon...it's available via Prime for $19.99.
I have the clear Cruzerlite Android case and will see if it works with it on when I get it.
Received the Hyperion Desktop Charging Cradle today via Amazon Prime.
The way the dock is designed seems that it will not work with any type of case on the HTC One.
Since the Cruzerlite case is so easy to put on & take off, it's not a real big deal...just a bit of an inconvenience.
I'm planning to keep this dock until something better comes along.
(RANT)
I'm just a bit upset with the delivery service that Amazon used.
They were so lazy that they actually threw my package from the sidewalk in front of my house onto my porch...there are 6 steps up to my front porch.
The thing that gets me is that the package fell off the porch and landed on the side of the house!
I saw this happen, but they drove off before I could give them a piece of my mind!
(END)
Quick question for those who bought the Hyperion Desktop Charging Cradle...does your One S indicate A/C or USB Charging when being charged on this dock?
Mine for some reason shows USB, but the Parameters Output: 5V 1000mAh (on the box)
Shouldn't that be A/C...not USB?
anyone try the oem evo 3d dock looks like it might be a good fir plus added hdmi functionality.
Anyone know if the hyperion will work with MHL adapter to bring hdmi functionality while docking?
I also found a dock made by a company KIDIGI that offers case compatibility while docked.
I am useing the evo 3d dock, Posted a picture. You would need to modify it alittle.

Curious if anyone has this case (or a similar type that does not obstruct the top/bottom) and uses a microUSB desktop charger?
I know, I know, this phone supports wireless charging.... but some of us want to 1) charge as fast as possible and 2) have our phone upright on our desk while charging.
I heard that the N4 fits in the GSIII desktop chargers but I doubt they do with any type of case on. Anyone have recommendations for a "universal" or otherwise desktop charger that will work with this phone/case combo?
I have found one that looks to be promising, except it's Philips brand and is an alarm clock... but still, people are saying it's fairly universal and at least one of the reviews says they are using it with an otterbox case on their phone:

Any thoughts or recommendations for other ones that might work?

I'm afraid so... Although I'm pretty sure that you can find a universal Micro USB dock. I'd check Amazon or eBay.
I'm in the same boat; I'd love to get a desktop charger, but can't find anything. I picked up a cheap ($5) S3 dock on eBay, but the plug doesn't extend far enough to connect to my N4 and the base isn't wide enough to fully support it either. I came across this one, but it is fairly pricey and I'm not sure I want to be the first person to try it out...

From my OP:
"I know, I know, this phone supports wireless charging.... but some of us want to 1) charge as fast as possible and 2) have our phone upright on our desk while charging."
That's why. It's not just about charging... I like to use my phone as a clock/info station during the day, and having it upright allows me to do that. Now if they'd just make a vertical magnetic charging pad.....
I use the phillips fidelio as351 and it fits my phone with it's multitude of cases and even my N7. also makes for a portable speaker systsem as well as it runs on battery or AC adapter. Lot of places have this dock on clearance.
Seidio also makes one that works with cases.
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-desktop-charging-cradle-p/bd2-crdssx1.htm
The Seidio one looks cool...but the lack of a backing looks like its going to put a lot of pressure on the USB connector.
I was looking at wireless mats, but then if I decide to change my handset again next year I'll be back in the same position I am now.

I wouldn't mind a faux leather flip cover for times I know I will not be using the keyboard for a while.
I am looking for a leather case with kickstand function. Anyone seen anything?
I am looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-angle-Android-Samsung/dp/B00A9G985S/
With automatic sleep/wake-up function. I use very simillar case with Nexus 10 and I am very satisfied with that.
Anyone seen anything?
I think case manufacturers are going to be running into problems since the Pixel C uses a lot of magnets in the tablet chassis to attach it to the optional keyboard. Putting on a standard cover is going to negate this benefit I would imagine.
I'd like to get a sleeve, sort of like the one posted earlier, that will allow me to protect my Pixel C and keyboard when I throw in in a bag or backpack since I'm not sure how resistant the aluminum body will be towards scuffs and scratches.

The Nexus 9 smart cover was one of THE worst engineered covers I have every used! In other words, it was just a big piece of cr** and not worth the money. Let's hope they bring us something better.

Don't confuse it being a piece of crap to it not doing what you want it to. I was sceptical about it at first, but after a while it started to work extremely well for me and now I don't want anything else anymore!

The magnets in there are just to weak so it comes off the screen to easily (yes, I am using it on the correct side), or does not hold the tablet in place when used a a stand. That alone is a no-go for me.
Also, as a kickstand, depending on the position, it makes it very hard to access the volume- and powerbutton(s), or will accidentally press the buttons down sometimes. This is unacceptable.
Anyone have any input on this sleeve:

It's just what I was looking for, and I "think" the Pixel C should fit, but I figured I'd check here first to see if anyone had any experience with it. If nothing else, I'll bring my Pixel C up to the store to test it out and see if it will work.

So I went ahead and ran out to Staples again, this time with my Pixel C. They actually had a couple of different tablet cases/sleeves, but I ended up going with the one I posted above. Fits very well, and in fact the sleeve is actually a little bigger than needed (probably because the sleeve has a more traditional 16:9 ratio), so you could actually fit a few small things, such as papers, cables, etc., without hurting the slim design.
Now I might look into getting a case actually designed for the Pixel C once they start rolling out, but I"m very happy with this in the meantime, especially since Staples wanted to charge me $24.99 for it and I just had them price match Amazon's $10.97! :laugh:
Esta es la funda que llevo de momento:
Because I am a rookie I can not include the page. Universal HT Silver 10.1
Perfect size, 2-position, nice touch, use c Port aux speakers and cameras ok
The only complaint one of the four holes in the cover 2 side microphone but I do not use it since. I give it 8 out of 10
Greetings fellow.

I like that case, but I wish it had the cut out for the back cover lights. (battery level lights) I think they are a very nice aesthetic touch that should be visible.
