Anyone seen a battery case like this for the Desire http://www.mophie.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=42 - been searching everywhere since i got my Desire and can't find anything similar.
Was thinking of getting dock and spare battery, but a case like this would be ideal for long days.
Hey guys looking for a stylish yet practical battery door replacement. I'm looking for a carbon fiber case that also still has the IP67 rating. Anyone know of a cover similar to this or got one they think is better? also anyone been using a metal replacement do you have issues with signals (wifi + 4g/3g/2g)?
Just forget it,there is none with ip67 rating,already searching since months and there is just simply nothing
Maybe something like this?

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

Well that sucks.. So we have to disk out for yet another car holder and probably wait another couple of weeks/months..
Thanks for letting me know though.

yes I think so this power botton ist a problem. The car holder case from m8 would be in conflict with the botton on the side of the m9
I've got one of these since having my M7

Disappointed that the dot view flip case doesn't go well in it as its too tight and squashes the hinge and I worry it'll dammage the case...
Is there a best one for the m9?
Or a offical one?
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.

Kenu Airframe+ is my favorite by long shot.

I use the same ProClip for M8 and it will not scratch it.

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.

Were you using two hands to remove the phone? One on the Airframe and one on the phone?

+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?
Hi all, thought I'd share this for those thinking about this case. I received a free sample from ZeroLemon and they asked me to post a review on XDA. Also posted on Amazon here, where I gave it 4/5 stars.
ZeroLemon Moto Z 7500mAh Extended Battery Case Review
If you're looking for a way to extend the use of your Moto Z without having to carry a separate battery pack, this would be a good way to do it. You'll get about 2 charges out of this battery case, while simultaneously giving your Moto Z some good protection.
PROS:
-Although their official page says it will not, this WILL FIT THE MOTO Z FORCE. I had no problems getting this case on my MZF.
-Battery capacity. 7500mAh ain't no joke for a battery case, and gave me nearly two full charges.
-Charges phone quickly, and the extra USB-A port is appreciated.
-For its size, the case is nicely designed and comfortable to hold. Button covers have good click response.
CONS:
-Let's be clear, this case is YUGE. I plan to use this case specifically for camping/traveling, but there's just no way I'll ever use it as a daily driver. It more than doubles the thickness of the phone, and there's zero chance you're comfortably getting this in a front pocket. However, I imagine that if you're in the market for a large-capacity battery case, you already expect you'll be getting a thick product.
-I have a Skinomi TechSkin screen protector, and the case occasionally pushed up the edges on the protector. After two days with the case on, I may have to replace my screen protector. I do acknowledge that this issue may be due to using the case with the Moto Z Force, not the intended slightly-thinner Moto Z.
OTHER NOTES/THOUGHTS:
-Read the instructions. I didn't fully and missed the fact I had to turn on charging by holding the power button for 3 seconds. For ten or fifteen minutes I thought the case was defective.
-I do wish they could have taken advantage of the MotoMod functionality. If the battery was somehow embedded in the case and used the pogo pin connector, I imagine it could have taken some of the huge chin off the case. But I'm no engineer, so there's that.
-However, since the battery does use USB-C to charge, you could easily just use the battery as a standalone pack with a USB cord of your choosing (or use the USB-A as well). Granted, you would lose the protective capabilities of the case, but you also wouldn't embiggen your phone by more than 2x. But at the price of this case, there are many larger-capacity battery packs available out there so not a great idea if this would be your primary plan.
All in all, this is a well-designed product that does exactly what it's intended to do. Will it fit everyone's needs? Maybe not. But for power users that drain their phones quickly and don't want to carry a separate battery pack, this is a good option.

Would you mind sharing a few pics of the case and battery. I'm thinking of getting one for camping and such
