As in topic. Is there a dock charger that will fit desire that has silicone cover on it?
I would like to buy dock charger but idea to take off cover ever time I want to charge it is just stupid.
Thanks in advance

I was planning on making one, but the costs of a good USB cable is too high so I scrapped the idea, would have been awesome tho :\
I too am looking for a dock that will take my phone in its Silicon case.
BUMP!
U can try order from dealxtreme.com and search for HTC desire dock. Sorry i can't post the link.
I'm using it with silicon case. No problem at all...

Im running the HTC Desire Dock

There is considerable room back and sides for a case, but its the bottom part where the phone connects to the charging bit is where you will have problems.
You can either get a silicon case with noi protection on the bottom edge of the phone or 'slightly' modify this dock, which is easier than you think.
Although the dock shows a shapely indentation, its nowhere NEAR exact to the phone, around 3-4mm out.
You cant just 'drop it in' and expect to find the charging bit first time. Its not like the official nexus one dock at all.
I found a pretty cool car mount for the Sensation for use with the TMoUS Body Glove case. What is nice about it is the sticky pad holder is it eliminates the need to clamp the device. I also drilled a hole in the mount so I could keep the belt clip stud installed. Found the holder at WalMart but online it is a few bucks cheaper. It is the Scosche model IUHD.
A little hot glue on the back holds the charge cord to plug it in easily. My next task is to route the cord so it is mostly hidden.
Nice! Lookin cool, like the creativity! Im getting my HTC Car Dock soon from Expansys, might do some pics when I install it in my car.
Went to Verizon and bought the car dock for the HTC Thunderbolt, then installed the Car Home App from my G2. So far, been working okay and goes directly to car mode. Only problem so far is that the volume rocker is on that side and turning the volume down when you push it to hard to the USB connection

Does the sensation fit snugly in it? I thought the Thunderbolt was not the same size. The Thunderbolt one is 1/3 the price of the Sensation dock. I wouldn't mind cutting out a small piece to get access to the volume rocker.
The Sensation did fit snugly on it. What's good is that it goes to the charge/car mode once you plug the phone to the cradle and back to the main screen when I turn off my bluetooth enabled radio

I was gonna buy the thunderbolt car mount aswell but didn't know if it would fit.. does the dock allow the phone to be mounted with a case on it?!

I don't think the phone with any type of case would fit as the well on the cradle fits the phone perfectly.

Hm, doesn't seem like it's easy to look at where it's at. The mount itself looks pretty nice though, not much to complain about with it. Is it pretty solid build quality? I've seen some that look good, but seem like they'll fall apart if you hit a speed bump.
Completely unrelated: How's the Volt treating you so far?
The volt? My friend has the thunderbolt and battery life is horrible. The sensation has a much better battery life so far

I think maybe he meant the Chevy Volt (based from the pic uploaded) Hence unrelated..

I did. I guess I forgot to quote the OP with that message, sorry about that confusion.

So you didn't need to modify the dock at all? And how snug is snug? Do you have to force it in?
I'm thinking about stopping by Verizon to get a dock tonight and just want to be sure. I've measured the Droid X and Atrix docks as well using online specs, but the Thunderbolt seems to be the nearest fit. (if anyone cares - the DX is the same size but the usb is backward and slightly off from the Sensation's location)
I also have a HTC Thunderbolt with a car dock. I have not tried my sensation in it yet as I have only had it two days. I can tell you the car dock mount from Verizon is good and I use mine everyday.
So if my Sensation works in the same mount I will be happy.
I just picked up the thunderbolt dock and it fits very well. You have to push just a wee bit to get the micro USB to connect, but not enough to do any damage.

Does the car dock mode activate automatically when you dock the phone ?!

It is snug, I only placed a piece of plastic in the back to keep the phone straight as the sensation is slimmer than the thunderbolt. It keeps it from rocking back and forth

Yeah I'm going to do the same.
I was also thinking about sanding down the inner sides of the dock just a tiny tad to get an easier slide for the microusb.
can you guys post a pic please. I would like to see what Snug means. and are you getting the dock from the Verizon Store ? or a third party retailer ?
thank you
are those microphones? I bought the official gelskin case from tmobile but the case covers them up
Omg. Search!

I've searched and found ambiguous answers, from being irrelevant holes to being noise-cancelling microphones, to detecting short circuits in water?? It's still very unclear to me.
Noise cancellation

1 is for noise cancellation mic & the others are just the rivets for the antenna contacts. to find the mic, because I forgot which one it is, look at the top holes & find whichever one has a grommet behind it, that's the mic
Is it ok if i cover those holes with hardcase ? Will it reduce my phone ability ?

You'll most likely be fine.

Anyone have any good speaker dock recommendations for use with this phone?
I picked up a cheapo one with stereo cord input but it's not cutting it. Everything at the stores seems to be made for the mindless iPhone crew.

Does anyone know a waterproof case that can not only provide access to headphone jack but to usb port as well?
I'm looking for something that I can put on handle bar on my bicycle and use it as gps.
Currently out of stock.

Thanks.
That's a start. Do you know if that case allows use wired headphones and usb cable for charging?
Yes it does but I think that its easier to have Bluetooth headphones while using it in the holder.

True, but I doubt any BT headphones would last 8-10 hours of music
If a waterproof case exposes either the headphone or USB connectors it's not waterproof. Those are the first thing waterproof case makers try to isolate.
Not necesarry. there are cases for swimmers that have molded wires into the case to wich yu connect your headphones to

Thanks for mentioning that one. Ive been looking for a good bike mount for a long time. Everyone I have purchased does not hold up well. This one looks pretty good.
