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

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 -

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...

The only dock I have seen was a Car cradle. I think it would be available 5/7

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.

It only says "one x" but I would guess since there is enough play to hold the phone in a case that the extra fraction in length of the att wouldn't be a problem.

Its not using the pins so it doesn't matter.
Very nice car dock. Contemplating pre-ordering one @ the $36.90 price tag...

Cool product, still wish it used the POGO PINs.
Me too... I want a dock that does charging and audio out with no connecting. of wires.
I have the stock HTC One X car mount and it sucks. This looks much better.
The stock relies on these grooved sides to hold the phone in, and when you slide in the phone sometimes you have to wiggle to get the USB to plug in. Further, because it holds the phone pretty tightly, it's not easy to remove the phone. I have to use both hands to get my phone out of the car mount.
just brought this got to wait 10 days as its coming from china.
has anyone got one yet and got any feedback?
I was willing to pay the £40 for the htc official one but ultimately
i didnt go for that one because i didnt like the idea of having to
take the case on and off each time.
this ones meant to work with or without and was cheaper only £25.
ill post a review when i receive it.......

You'll need a Motorola phone to accomplish that. They send audio out the USB port of the car dock

Just received my KiDiGi dock yesterday. It's very well made and works great with the Rock slim case I have on my HOX. It comes with a usb cable and charger, but it doesn't appear to be wired to auto enable car mode when docked. No big deal...that's what NFC tags are for!
It's very similar in design to the iBolt dock that Sprint is selling for the EVO LTE. They both have the insert to work with or without a case on the phone, and a top latch to keep it secure. If the KiDiGi were easier to come by, I would highly recommend it. I ordered it from 4u-mobi back on May 24th, so it took about 3 weeks to make it here.

I received my dock as well. It does enable car mode for me, I'm not sure why it's not for you (are you on a Sense based rom?). I have a Casemate Barely There on my HOX and it works fine with the dock. The dock seems to be able to accomodate cases slightly thicker than the Barely There as well (but not much thicker). The headphone jack and camera are exposed and easy to get to. The top "flap" that keeps the phone in place snaps down with a satisfying thud. Very good build quality. The charger that comes with it is a single USB, 1.0A charger. Pretty standard. The usb cable that comes with it is one of those looped cables (like old corded phone cables) so if your charging port is more than 2 feet or so away from your mount it's gonna put some stress on the usb cable. There's also a little cavity underneath the phone on the mount that lets you wedge your finger in there to aid in getting the phone out of the dock, very nice touch.
Note: If you use the plastic dash mounting disk, the adhesive pad on the bottom needs at least 24 hours to set properly. I tried using the mount after letting it sit overnight and the adhesive was barely holding on, but the next day it was rock solid.
Just ordered it from htcpedia. $33 shipped.
The sprint dock is from kidigi but sprint just paid them to put their logo on there.

I was mistaken. CleanROM DE doesn't have the htc car app. I switched to SE and it does indeed auto-switch to car mode when docked.
Just got my KiDiGi dock today, very happy with my purchase. The arm is a little bulky and flimsy but the dock fits on my other arm perfectly so I could care less. Fits great with both my Mybat hybrid TPU case and my Diztronic TPU case. Highly recommended.
Just received mine as well, I don't consider the arm flimsy, though. Tighten it up and its sturdy as anything. Nice looking dock, fits with my barely there, and enables car mode. Just wish I could set music to a third party app, or figure out how.
And that's the aux cable wrapped around the arm.

An update on mine...
The adhesive disk for mounting on your dash kinda sucks...at least mine did. It could not hold up the mount while the phone was docked. I had the mount itself set at a 90 degree angle and after a bit of driving the adhesive disk just started peeling off.
My solution to this was getting some mounting puddy and using that as an adhesive plus setting the dock on my dash in a way that allows the mount itself (where you dock the phone) to rest on the dash, thereby alleviating any excessive torque being put on the dash disk.
I looked through the accessories threads and did not see this one.
Bought it on ebay, the item number is 310396344082. Sorry I am unable to post links yet.
If you do not plan on putting a case on your One X then I highly recommend this car dock. The suction is strong and all joints have tension adjusters. Also the cradle part is on a ball type swivel with tension adjustment. Holds the phone very securely and does not interfere with any of the buttons or ports. This is not a universal as the cradle part seems to be molded specifically for the HTC One x (perfectly molded around the camera).
It does not put the phone in car mode automatically, you will have to push the car icon. But I have seen special charging cables that will do that for you also.

This is exactly what i was looking for, a slim, low profile car mount and what an amazing price.. Ordered!
Gonna use this with an NFC tag to launch the cardock and Pandora. With this kind of battery life, who needs a charger plugged in?
Thanks for the heads up on this. I think I'm going to order one today. I need to get the cable that puts the phone in dock mode. For me it's not so much for the charging, but I want to have the screen stay on and not time out while in the dock.

I have the Inspire 4G dock with this same design (looks like the same removeable clip system) and while I did like the design, the suction cup never seemed to hold well. When I took it down after I got my One X, I realized that the suction cup was breaking away from the mount. YMMV of course...
Does anyone know if the M9 will fit the official HTC M8 car holder?
It would be great if someone with a test model could give this a try.
I am going to sell my m8 and would be great if I can let people know if I'll be selling it with or without the car holder as I have the official m8 car holder.
The dimensions seem almost the same but since the m9 is ever so slightly smaller from it might be too loose a fit in the car holder.
Anyone able to try this for me?
Massive thanks.
I think the power botton ist a problem. The car holder case from m8 would be in conflict with the botton on the side of the m9
Will there be a official car holder for the m9?
I use my m7 with the HTC car holder and want to by a m9 and a m9-car-holder. All original accessories I found in the www was Covers and so, but not a car holder.
There is a universal Holder official from HTC available in Europa now http://www.htc.com/de/accessories/#!pid=htc-one-m9&acc=htc-car
I got my m9 now, and I tried it with the m8 car holder, and it doesn't fit!
The power botton is not the problem, but the case is a little bit too small and the connector is not 100% at the right place

I use the ProClip system in my cars and I have adjustable phone mounts . Even works with a case. I have used this part for my M7 with UAG case, M8 with UAG case and It should work just fine for my new M9. There are 2 set screws you need to adjust.
ProClip is not for everyone as they are pricey for the vehicle specific mount and the phone holder. I have one of these in all 3 of my cars.

I looked at that model, but it would seem that there is no padding? So do you think that it can scratch M9 if used without case?
At the moment I am using a Montar grip, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-S...d=1428490011&sr=8-1&keywords=montar+car+mount
I have to say I am very impressed with it as a grip.
It's the only one I found so far that I can mount on my dash, which does not have a smooth surface.
It feels very sturdy and I am quite happy with it holding my precious m9
Made me think twice whether I want to invest in an official and very expensive htc mount again...
I picked up a ram mount x-grip recently after trying several other generic universal phone holders over the years. I wish I would have found this sooner, its excellent. Great build quality, exceptional stability and holding strength.

I had one of these and no longer use it. After a few uses, it would not stay attached to my vent when trying to remove my phone. The whole thing kept coming off the vent. Nice design but not practical for my use.
i havent gotten my m9 yet but ive been using a magnetic mount from Mountek for a few years with my Nexus and OnePlus phones. It's great and universal. Just need to put a magnet between your phone and the case (if you use a case) or attach the magnet to the back (I don't do this). The nice thing about the Nexus 5 I had was that since it had Qi charging, it already had built-in magnets so I didnt even need to magnetic disc it came with.

+1 for Ram Mounts X-Grip. I have what they're now calling their, "phablet" model.
Tired of having to find a new mount each time you get a new phone?
I have used the same X-Grip on my HTC One M7, M8, and now M9. It can even hold my Nexus 7. This may be the last phone mount I ever buy.
I use the NightIze Steelie mount kit, since I HATE clips and brackets (after going through several car mount setups with them)and anything involving more than 1 hand operation (or take too long). Just stick it and go (well...and plug it in to the USB cable for charging).
The mount on the back of my phone does not and has never caused any issues with either my Galaxy S4 (prvious phone) or M9 (current phone), both of which use(d) the same setup. In fact , having a magnet on the back of my phone has been handy in a few cases (like working on something that requires 2 hands and reading directions/watching instructional video on phone). Magnet is pretty strong, so no issues with it falling off mount over bumps or when I go offroad (I have a truck), but a pretty significant jolt (say...moderate a collision with another solid object or falling into a large hole)) would probably dismount it.
Only downsides is I have to be careful not to place the magnet near/on anything that can get damaged by magnets (e.g. credit cards, etc), which has proven to me a non-issue since my wallet and my phone are always pretty far apart (and rarely are both out at the same time).
That said, since I didn't want anything sticking up off my phone, I drilled a hole into my UAG case (for both) for the round phone mount, so its almost flush with the case itself (I put the phone mount in the middle, so I could rotate between portrait/landscape with ease).
So far its been the best solution FOR ME, YMMV: http://www.niteize.com/product/Steelie-Car-Mount-Kit.asp
The Steelie one looks pretty cool.
I want to mount it on my dashboard. Any other good ones for the M9?
