Has anyone seen this dock? I really like the fact that it works with a case on the phone unlike the HTC dock.

Is that for AT&T One X? Just curious as it does not say.

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.

Yea man, it was really bad. It's basically a RAM Mount knock off, but it has a single flemsy bolt down piece. The holes were all too small to fit the seat bolt through and had to use a smaller bolt. The arm it'self wobbled and swayed and the jaws to hold the tablet were too small to even fit the tablet. Seemed like a great deal at $20, but was too good to be true. I'll probably go look at what ProClip has thought up as far as positioning tablets in my truck and just make one.
The dock is being sold on Ebay by some people, so if you can't wait you can buy it there, it is more expensive though.
The cheapest one is about 38$ for the white one.
Just by the way (more for other peoples knowledge, as I'm sure YOU'RE probably aware), there are 3rd party docks available on eBay for ~$10USD.
Not sure on the build quality, but I ordered one last week. Will see how it goes

I read on another forum that there were people who had problem with the alternative dock, for some the phone didn't even charge.
Yeah I got the cheap dock too and it is inconsistent at best sometimes it charges and sometimes it is only being able to hold the current charge. Phone always show it is being charged but if it really charges the battery back up then just holding the current level is never an guarantee at all. I went now with the original one and have no issues at all.

I'll second this. Got bought one for my birthday. It's the cheapest looking bit of "Official" kit I've ever seen.
The plastic is dull, and the whole thing is so so lightweight, you have to hold down the dock with one hand and pull the phone out with the other.
It does hold the phone nice and tight, and charges well, so I suppose it is doing the job it was designed for, but it is a really poor effort from a company like Sony, who are supposed to be into quality design. It's not a patch on the Asus dock for the Nexus 7. That thing weighs a ton!
I got the alternative goosewhite dock and can definitely vouch for it. Works perfectly, plus from what I've heard, it's not such a tight fit as the official sony dock, which could be beneficial to those with the Spigen glas.t protector, which I've heard chips in the official dock due to the tight fit.

also, if for whatever reason you don't have access to mains, it can be hooked up via USB to a laptop
So after reading around various other older threads and using my google-fu, I came to the realization that if there was a specific desk-dock (not to be mistaken with the lapdock [has its own thread] or the vehicle dock) for the A2, that it was already long gone from the market. What I was able to find however is that there are still plenty of 89511N and 89512N available out there.
The Motorola HD Dock is currently $18 w/free shipping for Prime. It has an HDMI port.
The Motorola HD Station Dock is currently $30 w/free shipping for Prime. It has an HDMI port as well as 3 USB ports.
These are the only 2 'desk' docks that I know for certain are compatible with the A2. The Bionic dock, while compatible in terms of function, just looks plain awkward, and at least in my case, trying to reverse the cables just left me with a non-functional dock.
Also available is the Motorola Atrix 2 Vehicle Navigation Dock, also at $30 w/free shipping for Prime.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for other A2 'dock deals' and post them here as I see them.
Thanks for the effort.
I wanted to Buy HD Station (with Remote), it is not available on Motorola website and Amazon is selling it for $ 105.
can you use your Google-Fu skills and get good deals :laugh:
I built my own dock with a nice piece of wood and a router attachment on a Dremel. Just routed out a groove and beveled the edges nicely, then drilled a hole in the right spot for the a usb cable to stick up and sealed it in with epoxy.

Will do when i get home later!
I have to say that I would have made some modifications doing it again, mainly in my choice of wood. what i used was way to hard and was extremely difficult to route out, causing some burning.
Cheapest I could find at this point was Micro Center for $72.99, but only available in store. Otherwise, yeah, eBay and WalMart both have it for 105, as you noted. The model number for that specific one is 89522N.
While watching ebay a few days ago i found this lapdock for the original Atrix , they usually go for $50 used! so this one is going for almost $16 with $2.99 S & H and its brand new in the box! there is 9 hours left on this auction yet,but here is the product # 230975680637 for any one who is interested.
Modding one of this puppies was fun and a great addition to my A2.
I just received mine and popped it on instantly.
Guys / gals, this is by far the best presentation I have ever seen in a case/back cover. Way better than OEM IMHO.
It's real leather (smells like a new car with leather interior), cut is fantastic, quality is amazing. I put it on and popped on to my CHOEtech 3coil Qi wireless charging stand and it starting charging instantly, no worries about placement or finding the sweet spot.
The packaging it came in is like a compressed cardboard or particle wood casing you'd keep cigars in. I got the BROWN one.

Hey would you or anyone else have a TYLT VU Charger ? I bought one Amazon when they were on sale but I also have 2 cheaper knockoffs Itian's. All 3 are working for me I picked up the Black Leather Back. But on the TYLT I have issue where the phone will connect to Wireless charging and then disconnect it might do this up to 3 times or 2x and once the screen turns off it will be connected and can tell by the Green Light. The Itian's just plan connect and don't have this issue. I also have a Nexus 6 and it connects with the TYLT just fine without that issue.
Not sure if's really a issue will give it time since I just got the Leather Back today will see how it perform's.
Well now looks like my Itian's are having the same issue but now it won't even connect the light will just Flash from Red to Blue no stop.
Does this feel "soft"?
Current price is 10.49 without wireless charging. How much was it for the wireless charging version? They are currently out of stock so cant see pricing for that option.

I paid $16 on eBay from a US seller. It does have a nice feel to it but really don't matter to me since mine will be a case 99% of the time. I decided for $16 why not since the sticker along is $10-$15.
FWIW, I too bought the $16 eBay back, and was just refunded by the seller today. It has connect/disconnect issues, and heats my phone up way too hot. Seller claims he is removing them for sale, and sending the batch back to distributor. FYI for anyone considering this product t.

I bought the same, paid $14, mine does not have the issues you mentioned. I use a ChoeTech 3coil stand. It is warm while charging until full, like all my Qi devices..
I've had the case for a bit over a month now, ordered the white to match my phone.
The good is that the color matches well, apart from the lines you can see where the leather is applied, it pairs nicely with the phone. The wireless charging works great, and it has a generous amount of wiggle room when placing it on a qi charger compared to my old S6 which was tricky to place just right. It also feels very nice in the hand compared to the textured back, and is much more grippy surprisingly, especially when the phone gets a bit warm, getting your hand a little sweaty.
The bad parts are that it is noticeably thicker than the OEM cover, and you can feel it when you place your finger on the power button to unlock it. The other part would be more likely my fault, since I choose white, but it gets very dirty and it can be tedious having to take it off every so often to clean it. The third and last part, three clips on my case have already broken. They are on both sides, near the bottom. Most likely from constantly taking it off to change batteries, and cleaning it every few days.
I got one white leather and 2 plastic one's, I have stopped using it as some members said they had their phone wireless feature dead after a few weeks, has anyone had this problem.
I got the same case in black from Amazon for $18. It came in the same package and box. The material was fake PU leather. Returned it
They must be taking a loss or something. They're now going for $25 without the charger (still not available)
