Best car windshield dock? - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

I just bought a 2011 Camry, so I want to make sure it's good quality. Anything out there yet?

I'm excited too. Mine will get here on Wednesday, but I doubt much will be available until after the official release date, the 29th.

Nothing but mislabeled universal junk out there!

I ordered a car adapter for this bad boy, to prepare for a nice landscape dock once it arrives, hopefully soon.

I didn't get anything yet. I meant, I'm waiting for it to arrive for me to buy!

Alternative Solution
I had a mytouch 4g a little back and I purchased the windshield mount for it as well. Now I have the g2x and the same car dock works as well. Point being, and especially since the mytouch 4g is almost the same phone, try that out. The dock comes with a mount for the dash as well...

Is there a link? Are you referring to the official branded one?

I'm planning to get one from these guys as soon as they make one for the slide. I've had mounts from them for 2 other phones, and they were both awsome.

Went out looking for universals last night. Radio Shack had nothing. Best Buy had an overpriced one from Rocketfish that didn't swivel or hold the Slide horizontally...
The waiting continues.

I stopped by the T-Mobile store at lunch today, and the official car dock for the MT4GS is there. $59.99.

wow! Although, I'd probably still buy it. What does it look like?

I would love to see a picture of this. I can not find any info about a dock made specifically for the slide.

Me too. I can't find anything online yet. I'm thinking about traveling out to the store to see if they have it in. Luckily the closest mall has 2 official T-Mobile stores!
I was thinking about getting the Arkon Mobile Flexible grip...
http://www.arkon.com/mobile-grip/mytouch-4g-slide-flexible-car-mount.html

I don't like those clips protruding from the front of the phone.

Sorry guys, I should've taken a pic. Usually the store I went to gets products later than other stores so I assumed it was out everywhere. I'll stop back by on Monday if nobody has found one by then.

Went to 2 T-Mobile stores...nothing.
And still nothing coming up online except for cheap universal garbage.

Here you go. It looks like a pretty solid product. Just not sure if I want to spend $60 on it right now. Probably will eventually, lol.

Hmm...$60 is STEEP
But I'll probably buy it.
The hardware looks solid. It has the camera hole so you could potentially take pics/video through the dock.
It looks like the same kind of thing released for the Evo.
Anyone find an online link?

I picked one up today at my local T Mobile store as well. The price is definitely steep but at least it comes with the charger and cable. My only reservation is that it does not have the option to go both vertical as well as horizontal. I know it is stupid but sometimes I do like the option. Overall it does have a solid feel except for the plastic that holds the phone in place. That piece came off a little to easy in my opinion.

I'm not really too sure that I like the coverage on that case. Doesn't look like it covers anything on the entire bottom surface of the phone, and that a likely place to get dropped onto. I do like the kick stand, but I don't know if I would/will buy it without good protection. What good is a cool case when you can't watch anything because you have a broken phone..
Wow that price is ridiculous for something that hardly protects the phone
Where are you guys ever that you don't have a larger screen (laptop or a tv) available? I'm not trying to be a jerk, just wondering. I had an evo for a while and the only thing I found useful for that kickstand is as an alarm clock.

I think mobiletechvideos.com may be where that video is. I do believe that he offers a service to replace it ... If you end up not being able to.
I think I may be jumping ship to either the atrix or the inspire. That is if I can get the wife to let me use her upgrade. The parts to replace are $125. I can get a new phone for close to that. Of well we'll see what happens
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I see your logic but your not actually saving money doing that. Your just eating another upgrade and committing another line to att for another 2 years. Quick fix but more money long run.
I am aware I am not saving money but I get a new device, that while it may not be "better" it is newer. I know newer isn't better. And as far as committing to att for two more years they are the only carrier that I get service in my area. And my wife really doesn't care about the upgrade shes still happy with her razr and doesn't want to get anything new.

cracked mine a few months back and got a screen from ebay and replaced it myself. its was about $60 and it even came with a kit for opening the phone. there's a thread somewhere on xda for disassembling the phone with pictures and stuff. pm me if you want more help.

That is actually a normal practice on eBay, they raise the price when out of stock to avoid relisting and associated fees.
Yeah I saw that too. Thought it had to be a typo

Not sure if you can separate the glass from the lcd. All the replacements I saw available come with screen+digitizer as an assembled unit already. Pretty sure you have to replace the whole thing not just glass only.
Prices really raised huh.... got mine for $60 a few months ago. Maybe supplies is getting short.
I bought just the glass itself and yes you can buy it by itself either with the at&t or without it. Now i just to need to see how to separate i was told the two are held together by adhesive

I don't have my HOX yet, but I will this weekend. Coming from a captivate and a MyTouch 3G, the only arm band that was worth anything is the TuneBelt. They make them for different screen sizes, not individual phones. I believe their AB86 model should fit the HOX. They also sell an extender for people with large biceps, so you don't have to worry if you get it and it's too small for your arm.

Agreed. This one is sufficient. I haven't been able to find any others that work/fit to the degree that this one does. Haven't tried the tube sock idea. There was definitely another thread somewhere in these forums with the same question, but i dont recall much resolution coming at the time it was posted, but that's where I initially saw the tube sock idea...
This one here looks good, and it's cheap. I think I'll go with this one soon.

I tired the tube sock idea yesterday and it just wasn't up to par... When I would sprint the sock would slide down my arm even though it was still tight.): I guess I'll have to shell out some money for a real armband.

Dunno If getting the ab86 or the ab85, the last seems to fit the otterbox cases and I have the incipio silicrylic... If anyone have one of this and can tell if the ab86 is enough or really need the ab85.
I actually have the AB83 and it was for my captivate in its case, but it also fits the HOX without anything on it. It is a tight fit but it works enough to not have to upgrade to another armband.

"Google" branded desktop stand for Nexus 4

I just spent 3 days at an annual client conference with our Google support team. Every year the Google reps bring cool swag for us to give away. This year they had these branded phone/tablet stands. As you'd probably guess they went like hot cakes but I made sure to snag a couple before the crowds had their pick. The design is extremely simple but works perfectly. One of the Google reps and myself spent some of our down time trying to see how much weight these things could handle. We were surprised to see how well it held up with 10lb objects.
It works perfectly with every phone we tried as well as the Nexus 7 and an iPad. I never thought I'd use a desktop stand but this works so well that I'll definitely use it at the office.
Anyway, here are some pics...

Cool. A drag that it's not available to everyone.
They were actually surprised when I told them that people would probably pay for these. I told them they should throw them up on the Google Play Store but they didn't think there would be any real demand.

Tons of companies were giving out this at CES. Obviously with a different brand name on it. There's a couple different ones, this style white/blue with the triangle style folding, also there's a more simple gray/black one that the stand rotates 360 onto itself so it's flat, I got that one.
I'm sure you can find these dang cheap on eBay.

Not to pooh pooh the excitement but these stands are pretty standard giveaways in the promotional swag world. I've got one myself but not "branded" with Google on it.

It's funny you should mention that. I was at a party a couple of weeks ago and this guy there was telling me he works at Google doing some Android stuff, so I pull out my phone. Then we head a super geek moment, talking Android and the Nexus 4, and he was saying how pretty much nobody at Google that he knows has the Nexus 4 and he has only seen his supervisor with one.

Ill Try again, but I had the same problem as you Paten where it forwarded me to ebay.
It did it again for some reason. Go to Casefantatic.com and find it there.
Since that site also lists a metal "Sigen" NeoHybrid, I'm going to call their products fake. The prices are outrageous for fakes too.
Why would you pay $60 for that case? And the damn thing looks just like my neo hybrid from spigen. Like the poster above me said, fake!

Thinking of buying this case. Has anyone been able to get their hands on one yet? I want to make sure it doesn't have a cell reception problem.
I have heard that the Galaxy Note 2 version of this case had reception issues due to the metal causing interference.
If someone can reply, that would be great. I want to make sure I don't waste the $80+
Yeah this case looks great but I'm not willing to risk issues with reception with a $60 case
