HTC Desire Z desktop dock?

Hey
I was wondering for a recommendation for a HTC Desire Z desktop dock with a AC adapter to use it as a clock and also free up the USB cable that came with the Desire Z. I perfer official but I dont think there is any for the Desire Z, only the G2.
Thanks

Desire Z and G2 are the same thing.

this isn't legit once
but this is one i've been using and it works pretty well =]

This is exactly what I did. Though, once the lights are out its surprising how much light still gets through even that. Granted its barely noticeable but just shows how bright the damn thing is.

I have that dock, it's so messy to attach the phone that I stopped using it - scared of damaging the USB port.

This is the "Official" one from T-Mobile. I love it. Works great as a daily alarm clock. Matches great with the phone.

Just get Spider podium bend it the way you like, and use the cable that came whit the phone to dock, since this is just a phone stand. And since you need a micro-usb cable for smth, just crab one from a local store for couple bucks.

And here is my Spiderpodium: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/11374881/1/Spiderpodium?h=d7c0f4
Best part, works whit every phone out there. so when you get a new phone, this is compatible whit it.
Rubber coating is great, and crabs on nicely. You could use this to mount your phone to bike, at least that's what they say, and it really is so firm that it would probably hold just fine. tough @ first glance it totally looks like its not going to hold it that well.

ust purchased a G2, waiting for it to arrive, but I always look around for accessories and gadgets. Those official T-mo ones are on ebay for decent price. Have some Hk knock-offs for cheaper as well.

I've got the cradle charger that was shown earlier on ebay earlier. It's also on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/GSI-Quality-Desktop-Charger-Data-Sync/dp/B004H6N7XA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It worked great except for the problem with plugging it in every night. There are no guides to help aligning the USB plug. I have to fiddle with it for a little while before it seats. This has done some very minor damage to the usb port over a year.
I upgraded to an extended Seideo Innocell 3500MAh and now the phone can not dock in the cradle. Also the 2nd battery charger can not accomodate the extended size battery.

Docking this phone is an absolute nightmare. Had a car holder for mine. Took some nerves the first couple of times to fit it.

Has anyone recently bought the genuine T mobile dock show in this thread? Tried eBay, Amazon and google but just get many knockoff versions - any help appreciated thanks.

The one mentioned in this thread is kind of clumsy as you all say.
The spider one not only looks weird but not sure if it can do landscape.

Thanks, but I think the genuine one is exactly the right size so should be easy to use. The knockoff ones don't appear to have any guide so the lining up the phone with the power jack is guesswork. I think the genuine one should work fine.

Seidio Desktop Dock-Landcape

I had to use my ebay bux before they expired and got the Seidio desktop cradle, landscape version. In the box is a travel charger and the dock of course. With it, installed the insert already there so that you can use the dock out of the box without a case. The great thing about this dock is that I have the Seidio Active case with kickstand (also have the holster as well but that's another thread lol) and to use this dock all you need to do is remove the insert. Viola! the case fits the dock perfectly!
And another thing for all you guys/gals/ghouls and ghosts.....the dock actually launches the clock or dock mode. I prefer it didn't personally, because the wife hates it when the screen lights up in the middle of the night.
Taking the phone on and off the dock is pretty self-explanatory. You have to pretty much line up the port with the phone so that it seats properly. Any deviation from the angel will just not work.
On the back of the dock is the Seidio logo. When plugged in via AC or USB, the dock has a line that "underlines" the word Seidio. IMO better than any LED blaring.
The only negative I have for this dock, besides the price...which brings me to another topic....craigsdocks.com, my initial PORTRAIT dock, made in the good ol' USA and still going strong and much better build quality IMO, which can be purchased for a few dollars more, but worth it in every way. The only thing is with craigsdocks.com, when docking, those docks DO NOT go into any dock mode, but can be finagled by using a good conditional program like llama profiles.
Now back to topic..lol....the only negative for the Seidio dock is that in my instance, when docked and goes into dock mode, the phone gets too warm for my tastes. I downloaded an app called no dock from the market to keep it from going into dock mode and since then the temp of the phone has dissipated.
Bottom line, would I recommend this dock? For what I paid for it, hell yes. At full retail of 30 usd? Not really, I'd pay about 20 usd shipped.
Here are the pics snapped up today. Enjoy! As usual, post any questions you may have.

I wouldn't advise to buy directly from the retailer unless you have personal preferences to do so. I saved a bunch by looking on ebay from a reputable seller. That reminds me, I forgot to give the seller feedback lol....

I have this dock to, I love it. It works with all the cases I have except for the otterbox that I had. Definitely well worth the 19 dollars I spent on it.

Inexpensive Nexus 4 Sleeve

While this sleeve isn't specifically designed for the Nexus 4, it is designed for the Galaxy Nexus which is almost the same shape / size as the Nexus 4.
I've been using this sleeve for the past day and I love it, especially for the price. At $12.98 it was an instant buy IMO.
Lastly, I have tested inductive charging while the phone is inside of the sleeve. I personally have the LG Inductive Charger from Verizon and when I place the phone in the sleeve and then the sleeve (tab facing up) on to the charger it does beep and begin charging. I still usually pull my phone out of the sleeve when putting it on the charger anyway in hopes of a more efficient charge (it being closer to the coils).

compared to other sleeves this isnt really cheap.

Do you think this would fit the Nexus with the bumper on as well? Cheers.

Absolutely not. It's a perfect fit for it without a bumper, there is no way the bumper is going inside of this. Sorry

$12.98 is inexpensive IMO. Other sleeves that have been posted here are really cheap in quality to go along with their cheaper price.

I agree, this is not cheap at all !
defin good looking though... tempted... anyone looked at ebay ?

Thanks for the Tip! I ordered it for my Nexus 4, I'm just a bit concerned about the fit since the N4 is ever so slightly thicker than the GSM GN. Its not super tight in the case is it? I'd like it not to scrape up my device.

The black version is sold out on Amazon, so I decided to go for the brown/tan version (which I think I like more anyways).
Previous poster: The GNex and N4 are SOOO close in dimension that I just can't see that being the case. I mean the GN is literally .2mm thinner than the N4.

The Nexus 4 actually fits inside of a Galaxy Nexus TPU case. The camera and stuff doesn't line up properly, but it fits. Any GN sleeve is going to fit the N4 just fine.

Nice, thanks for the review and pictures. Here are a few other sleeves and pouches: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998567

My Nexus 4 Accessories Photos (or... a small Begoos bumper pouch/sleeve)

I've only had my N4 since December, but have accumulated a few random accessories along the way...well not as much as some folks here :silly:. This is mainly going to be a small collection of photos I took of the pouch made by a nice artisan who is also on Etsy by the name of Begoos and can make custom size cases in various materials to fit what you want. (I won't link to her, but if this interests you, she can easily be found if you search for "Nexus 4" on Etsy). I found out recently this pouch was mentioned in the thread about pouches that fit the bumper so I think some of you know about it or have it or even posted a review of it. I know everyone doesn't use pouches, but I was just so impressed with this pouch and the bumper after waiting for like two months for it to come back in stock at the US Play Store.

This hand-made pouch has a magnetic type closure/flap, which I really like over the drawstring type. This pouch's centered flap position and position of the N4's headphone jack mesh pretty well in usage. Even a large headphone adapter can fit without any conflict from the flap.
This is now closed:
A naked N4 fits very well, and the "cushion" material inside makes it kind of like a small amount of padding. So, I think it is pretty decent for a small amount of protection (well, I can only assume...).
A bumper-equipped N4 slides in and out of the pouch without any hassle. And fits inside like it was made for it.
All I remember telling her through Etsy was the bumper dimensions so I believe it was made slightly wider than her usual N4 sized pouch. It took about two weeks from her in Latvia to me in the US (back in early January), but the wait was well worth it! Personally, this is definitely just as premium feeling and a "feel good" buy as the LG Bumper IMHO. Even if you don't plan on using this daily, it's one of those nice to have items if you plan on keeping your N4 for a long time like me. I hope this was helpful.

cool, nice clean pictures, looks like you love your nexus a lot

Off topic, why does your Sony monitors doesn't have the curled cable?

Where did you get those without the stretch cord?

Thanks dorksturhh. :highfive:
zeus_chingon and DjWindzOne, the headphones are Japanese MDR-CD900ST, not the more commonly known MDR-V6 model which you may be thinking of?

nice, thanks for the review it looks really well made. just bought one without the latch.

Thanks! The pouch looks nice. I'm thinking of getting one

Very impressed with the OP's collection!
I also bought a case from Linda with a small logo drawn . Very quick turnaround, and very personalised purchasing experience. Shipping took 2 weeks to Australia. Case is well constructed as described by OP, and she has a variety of fabrics and colours available to personalise your case. Here's a pic of mine. Loving my N4 and case to bits!

I have to say she did a SPECTACULAR job with your custom N7 logo sleeve! :highfive: GJ Linda!

Wow, very nice looking sleeve. I had not really considered one until seeing your pictures. Seeing as how I am trying to live without a screen protector, this may be a wise investment.
edit: I just messaged asking if she could do a custom order for me: one with a pocket on the back for credit cards/etc., similar to the ones she has on some of the nexus 7/iPad mini sleeves. It would be great to be able to leave the wallet behind some nights.

I'm liking the big lebowski and OP's sleeve

Noreve Tradition B for Note 8

Hi,
here's a short review of the Noreve Tradition B Case for the Note 8. It's my first review, so don't judge too hard .
I've bought the Noreve case at it is genuine leather, offers two pockets for business cards / credit cards and a larger pocket for document(s).
It's a bit on the expensive side, I paid 79.90 Euro as I wanted the"Sable Vintage" Leather instead of the standard black Perpetuelle which costs 69.90 Euro.
Due to this the case was delivered three weeks after ordering (the standard version was on stock).
It came with a nice box containing the case packaged in a red bag:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The case itself was looking beautiful, with a nice smell of leather:
The inside is made of leather as well with the mentioned pockets on the cover:
The Note 8 fits in nicely, the case holds it very firmly. All ports and buttons are accessible, even the SIM slot and the SD Card:
On the back you can see the hole for the camera and a small stand to stand up the device in landscape position:
The stand is locked with a small button so it won't open by accident:
It stands a lot more upright than with Samsung's book cover:
The only thing I am missing is a holder for a larger S-Pen as I prefer it over the small integrated one. I got around it by attaching it to the leather hinge on the side:
Not sure how stable this is on the long run but it works for now.
Conclusion
I am very happy with this case,it's well worth the money in my opinion. It's perfectly made, the leather is of very good quality. It adds a bit of weight to the device though (about 230g), but I can live with that. One thing to mention is that it does not powers off the note when closing it, I take this as a pro as there are discussions whether the magnets can harm the S-Pen accuracy, but it's worth noting.

I purchased the same exact Sable Vintage case. Yes it is expensive but I wanted to add some class to my tablet (which I feel it does). I am very satisfied with this purchase. I love the smell and feel of it. It is of excellent quality and I feel it will last as long as my tablet does (which I plan on using for a long time without upgrading to the latest and greatest based on the price of this case alone, lol). I get many head turns and questions about the case and if I can get them one. But I don't really respond because most people have an adverse reaction to the price of it. But I feel that it adds value to the tablet. So much so that I purchased a Noreve case for my wife's Note 10.1 (however for some reason hers does not fit as nicely as the Note 8 does)

Nice, love real leather.
On a side note, where did you get that larger stylus?

That's the Samsung Bluetooth S-Pen. It was on sale at Amazon and I was looking for a bigger pen anyway. It's really good for writing and the bluetoth works ok - though it looks a bit dumb if you really use it to make phone calls. But still better than holding the Note to your ear...
