HTC’s HD2 car kit has just become a lot less cool. Devicewire has given tracyandmatt.co.uk notice that the cradle will no longer have the old design that used a custom backplate, but a new but simpler design that attaches to the bottom microUSB port.
While the new design is now much less sexy, it is much more practical than the earlier version, as the backplate was quite thick. The price is still a high £61 however, which is no longer justified by the innovation and design in the old version, so I suspect this will no longer be a big seller.
The cradle is available for pre-order at DeviceWire here.

What a shame it turned from sexy to ugly! And still the same price.. pretty interesting

I m no longer interested in buying it ... I liked old one better... now i m going to use my old car kit i bought for tytn2... since there is nothing special this one ...

Seriously? What the F? I was planning to buy this expensive car holder with changeable back cover, and now they change it to cheap plastic version and still charging same amount of money as for good designed and innovated one? Get lost...
I'll probably write an email to HTC asking where can I get the old design one, because some units were sent to couple of people for testing and you can find photos of them on the internet

thats simply BOLLOCKS !
Me too. No longer interested in buying that but what should i do with my pre oder by amazon.de :-(
WTH do they think by simply changing a design after communicating it ages ago...

Stornieren oder bei Erhalt zurück schicken ( Grund: Artikel anders als in Beschreibung)
Cancel or simply send it back

I might buy it... IF they drop the price now massively... I like how it's adjustable so you can angle it any way you want... is there any universal car holder out there that can be adjusted like that?

I got an Universal car holder for my HD2 yesterday. It's only 8.5 USD.
It can rotate 360 degrees, rotate in any angles you want. It's strong enough to hold the HD2. I will post some pics later

Yes please Thanks.

I guess the "old" nice looking design (really loved that one) was not stable enough. The device would've been held only by the battery cover. Imagine driving over a bump...no guarantee that your lovely HD2 flies around in your car :/

Really bad! Also the head phone plug is blocked

Now THAT is a bit a a design boo-boo! While I can cope with the somewhat fugly design for the sake of stability, in inability to run a 3.5mm aux lead to my stereo is a real pain in the nipsy. I do wish HTC had sorted out the official accessories to coincide with people actually having the product.

Its not changed ,,,actually both are avaiable...... this one has advantage taht you dont have to change back cover ...
but for me older one was more refined. See below both are listed for sale.
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=188868

Both...? They have the same article no. and when you click the picture you will get the one that I already attached.

... Can´t see both at this link! What ive seen is that they delayed the release date again haha

haha!
What a load of lame!!! So glad I didn't hold out and instead bought a cheapy on from netimes!!

There was a lock switch on replacement cover... so it wouldnt be coming out of the stand unless u unlock it....unless dere is a major bump where u break it....but then dere will be more things to worry about then ur hd2

This is a bloody fiasco my dear HTC! What the hell are you guys thinking?!

What A Load Of CRAPPPP!!!

Holder is like cradle

Yes, but as you can see, phone is pluged into bottom part of holder (like into cradle) and charged via connector on main base of holder
Eidt: dumb dumb dumb... and again i am dumb sorry you mean HEADPHONE jack sorry...

Spoke to someone at HTC - the main reason for the change is that this product will no longer specifically be for the HD2 - but more universal.

Found a perfect fit armband for jogging with my HD2

hey y'all,

Silly question, but exactly how securely does it fit? Is there any chance of the phone slipping out of the top? Does the phone move around a lot when it is in the case?
Thanks!

well it fits really tight, even when you run, and it can't flip out because the case has a top that cover it

Hi, please can you tell my your settings for device lock with RUN.GPS on HD2? Which device lock do you use while jogging? RUN.GPS device lock? Windows Mobile device lock?

Here is my DIY armband, small, confortable and easy to reach all function of the fone.

That looks great - Ordered one and can't wait to bring it to the streets.
I use Endomondo www dot endomondo dot com to track my running. It's free and there is a bit of social networking involved which i like.

Here are some more images, as you said, it comes from one silicon case(durable and can not be tear up) a belt scratch also cutted from an old sport armband. No water resistant but it is a simple DIY and quite reliable for everyday uses.

With HTC HD2, you can use free available pedometer software. I want to buy the Neoprene Armband ABX2 from Runner.GPS (along with the software) but they don't ship it to my country, Vietnam.

Nice, is the screen visible then? Do you by any chance own a phone shop in Hanoi so I can get one of those custom made armbands for HD2?

Tell me this isn't pretty! Gonna be ordering one this week if the TPU one I'm getting via eBay sucks.

wow, that looks nice indeed

@ OP - Nice find! This so far looks the best of the one's available to us right now - sexy! Now I just need to find my user name and pass for eBay/and PP - haven't used eBay in years!

I was hoping this store had its own site outside of eBay, but oh well.

Cheers for the heads up.
I've been looking for a case for 2 weeks now.
I should get it in a few days.
I'll let you guys know what's it like.

SWEET!!!! i l ove it
ordered one already
i got the black one, is the only one that looks good
red is too pinkish, and purple is ... pale, like washed out black
i wanted blue... but they don't have it

Thanks, ordered one w/screen guard for $10. Not bad .

Edit: I ended up ordering the 3-in-1 package deal (same seller). Hopefully the screen protector is decent, but if not - it's still a good deal for the case and car charger ($13.02 USD/includes the S/H).
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-IN-1-PACK-S...asesPouches&hash=item2c5a2c9348#ht_1919wt_972

That is absolutely beautiful. Keeps up with the sleek design of the phone.
Post pics if you get it OP! Thanks.

Just picked one up too. Looks nice. Good find.

Appreciate that looks the sexiest of all cases I've seen ... but is this TPU? or is it some soft kinda think that get loose after a while?

it's like a hard case, same as the ones available for the SGS
it's more of a Fashion case, than protection case

I prefer soft cases. That does look sleek, though.

Oh. I thought it was a combination of a soft/and hard case? Still ordered it (too sexy not to!), but now I am thinking maybe I should have ordered a soft black gel case too. I'll order a soft case next time.

i ordered the blue case i mentioned on the other topic
i like to switch cases every now and then... it's all fashion though
like changing shoes

can u add a link?
anyways i got the CLEAR one... seems really cool!!
but as the guy above me i like changing skins often

Yeah, fantastic find, this is a great looking case!

roshga, I too was thinking of getting the clear one (haven't got my phone yet). The "Google" visible on the rear is kind of cool. The only problem is that in the picture, the transparent plasticky look can be seen on the front edges. The black one's edge blends smoothly into the colour of the phone. Wish they had the Google written on the back ... with no "Samsung"
When someone gets it, can pictures be posted ... actually a short video clip of putting it on would be great as we can get the "feel" of the case

i compared both of the pictures... if you look carefully u can see that the black one seems as plasticky as the clear one, and the "Google" visibility was the reason for going for the clear one
I'm from Israel so the shipping will probably take more time then an order from the UK, if no one will upload any pictures of it till i'll get it I'm gonna post some myself
Good Day all.

Nice, too bad UK only.

Does *MY* perfect case exist?

I've seen this only once for the iPad, I've looked for something similar for various Android tablets with no luck. Here I am with my N7 hoping that such a thing may exist...
I know everyone wants to go slimmer, but for my ideal situation I would really like to find something that is more of a true "padfolio" style case.
Opened up on the inside left a pocket that holds a standard "small" legal pad, in the spine a spot for a pen, on the right a holder for the N7. I saw one for the ipad that held a full sized yellow legal pad at one point in time, but I don't know who made it. Sometimes notes on the N7 is just too slow and would be faster to just jot something down.
So has anyone ran across such a case? My searching has been unsuccessful so far. I don't care about standing it up or anything like that. A magnetic clasp and smart cover would be nice. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll probably just get the Blurex ultra-slim now that it is prime eligible.

You want something that will most definitely add bulk to the device lol, the direct opposite of what most people want.
The closest thing so far is this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Folio-PU-Le...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3cc921a483
It has a pocket where you can put a small notepad in it if needed. Other than that no dice in my quick searches.

Well a legal pad is about the same thickness as the n7 so it would basically double the thickness. Yeah hat case is about as close as it gets,but I don't like how it holds the device. Sigh. Ohh well. Maybe someone will see this and think it's a good idea.

Not sure how the N7 compares to an iPad, but Booqpads are the type of thing you're looking for?

Yup that's exactly what I want only for the nexus 7 with a standard small legal pad. I have some ideas though...

That would work. Put the back cardboard of the notepad in there leaving the pages exposed.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

There was a similar thread where someone found a case very similar to how you want. I'll try and find it out.

http://www.zsxiaozhi.com/Nexus-Tablet_c_50.html

Sorry to bring this one up again.
I'm looking for exactly the same thing. A case like a booqpad for the iPad or something similar.
Are there, after nearly one year, any news? Does anyone have seen something that could fit or maybe something homemade?
Thanks!

Elecom's Futuristic XZ2T Case

I think this is the coolest thing ever, I was going to buy one and customize it to look like the weathered hull of a space ship, but it seems to only be available from Japan and it costs like $100+ :/
http://www2.elecom.co.jp.e.gj.hp.transer.com/products/TBM-SOZ2AHVWH.html
While I can appreciate the design and engineering that went into this multi-layer system, I don't feel like a few millimeters of plastic is worth over $100 just because it's molded to look cool. Making inexpensive cool shells like this seems like something bootleggers/counterfeiters should be jumping all over. I'd definitely buy a cheaper version of this to decorate.
Do you know of any other cases that look like this but don't cost half your rent money? haha

Yeah, in emergencies you can break windshields with the corners, and if you hold it at an angle it can deflect laser beams
It's a kickass case, and a must if you have kids because if they accidentally sit on the super-thin Z2 it'll bend like a hotdog lol
