Portable table stands for HD2

So... do you have any suggestions for nice portable stands for the HD2.
I've made a copy of the GoGoStand which is quite nice. Always interested in different solutions though. Especially those you can make yourself.

free table stand
If you have mini DV cassette cover, open it totally and place it on the table and this can act like a stand for the HD2

nice idea bro!!!

What did you use as the material for it? An old credit card or something?
And whilst I can just make one, does anyone know where you can get these in the UK (for a comparable price)
Thanks

Looks like it might tip over (forward) easily.
I use my PSP stand with the HD2 in landscape mode. There are a couple of small notches on the stand which keep the HD2 from sliding out when touching the screen.

lmfao, that's awesome tubgirl and i want one!

That GoGoStand is very cool

Thank's a million

Having some oldies like the HD and the new HD2 this is a perfect solution.
Looks nice in my vitrine, all transparent. just what I needed.
Those DV cassetboxes had been gathering dust, and almost threw them away twice. You see, who keeps, has..

Brilliant idea been waiting for a long time for someone to come up with a slim easy to stow cradle. Will be useful on the next plane journey. Just ordered a few to share with friends as well.

Even though the GoGoSTand is very cool I ended up using something a little bit more sturdy... a paper stand!! It's very sturdy and even though it doesn't fit inside your wallet it can be folded and put inside a pocket.
It's almost the same as the The $100 iPhone Stand ... I just modified the base a little bit.

I've got an HD2 and a GoGo stand. Landscape it's fine, portrait it works but it's not as stable as I'd like. To be fair the HD2 is a big chunk of phone and these things were designed primarily for iPhones.
They're dirt cheap and mine arrived from the US within days of ordering it so I'd buy one unless you're really into DIY.

Hi, I just illustrated the gogostand with bigger size for HTC HD2. You just need to print out and cut the lines. Hope you like it.

Wow the gogo stand is just what I wanted, but I didn't fancy waiting for international shipping, so have made something similar with a cut out bit of cardboard. Took about 2mins to make and works fine for landscape mode, which is what I need for typing with anyway (using external keyboard). Also fits nicely in my wallet.

I just pre-ordered the HTC extended battery for the HD2 off play.com, yes it makes the phone a bit bulky (not much more than my old W810i though), and it comes with a stand that pops out the back. Nothing extra to carry around!

my969: big thanks
great idea, maybe you know the sentence: "you don't see the trees because of the forest" (german sentence, maybe bad translated )
a cassettebox..pretty nice idea would never thought that something like that can act like a table stand
i think i'm gonna mod mine and use it..looks really pretty nice
look at the pictures

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.

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!!!

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.

Mountain Bike HD2 Holder.

Cool, thanks : )
Please can you let us know how you get on with it out and about. I've been thinking about a bike mount, but I can't make up my mind if the screen will actually be any good on the move... Home luck with it : )

I would never take my HD2 when I go biking, water + earth + fall => DAMN !

With your support the phone is not protected !
I have Otterbox for vtt and it very perfect ! Its full waterproof
http://www.otterbox.com/pda-cases/1900-series/

By the looks of things you do some sort of extreme biking i just do mine for pleasure and fitness so the holder i've posted is more than adequate and excellent for the price. Only real problem i seem to have with it is that it covers the loudspeaker so playing music without using headphonesis a little quiet but still can be heard in a quiet/countryside enviroment.

I wouldn't buy that op mount if I was just WALKING with the device. ESPECIALLY not an HD2.
Holy **** that otterbox is crazy tho. WHOA!

voileuxcool - does the touch screen work when you open the lid? GPS signal is ok? Did you have to make any other compromises or tweaks?
Thanks

I mean looking at that thing just makes me want to go mountainbiking! And I don't have a bike!

I have used the bike holder for about three months and it's a pretty good holder in all respects as long as the holder is tightened well. The only problem I had was I leave my bike outside exposed to the elements and one day when pulling the side back to release the HD2 it snapped...... It would be nicer if I could find a metal version some where!!!

HD2 waterproof cycle case
I just got this one this week.
A lot cheaper than the awesome looking Otter, but should keep my phone safe & dry.

Do you use it with HD2 or with Desire?
Is it waterproof cause i see hole for wired headset?
Also, hole for wired headset is sideway, not on the bottom like it should be for HD2 so is it possible to use wired headset while phone is in holder?
Can you answer these questions and post some pictures also?
Thanx...

Of course it's possible. Try OziCe or RunGPS or any other tracking app.
I suggest u to try with OziCE cause u can easily find 1:25000 topo charts for Slovenia which are very good for biking...
cheers...

Just recieved it today. Can't w8 to test it!!

Honda Pilot + Nook Color, DIY no dock needed

I own a 2009 Honda Pilot and just recently bought a refurbished NC. I couldn't help but noticed that it will almost fit in the center console:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In fact, if I push hard enough, the top of the console cover will actually lift a little bit to give room. So, I decided that I only need to cut a little groove underneath the ceiling so my nook will lock into place:
It worked quite well, but because of the pressure, sometimes it will accidentally press on the volume key and the power keys. So I made the groove on the upper left side longer so it won't press on the volume keys, and I cut out a hole in the rubber matt at the bottom so it won't touch the power button:
When I detach the NC, you can't even tell a hold was cut underneath the ceiling of the top cover unless you get up really close to examine it. And when I attach it, it's awesomely beautiful! I hope this will help other Pilot owners.
Tools I used:
- dremel rotary tool to cut the hole in the ceiling
- sharp knife to clean up the cuts, and cut the bottom matt
Tested: tethered off my Tmobile G2 for internet and GPS, activated google navigation while listening to pandora.

Thats pretty sweet!!

Nice mod! although personally I would not cut into a console of my car just to fit a Nook into it.

Haha.. I know exactly what you mean... I debated for a while myself, but I figured that it won't really be noticeable at all. I bet if I sell my car right now, the buyer won't even notice the slots I've cut out from the under side of the top cover.

That cut...

Meh.. that is a simple fix. Just affix a bluetooth GPS in the space behind the nook. I have a GPS strapped to my window mount for my Nook, and it works amazingly.

I just tether internet and GPS off my T-mobile G2, works like a charm. I'm thinking that I could probably also play some movie from netflix during a long road trip... not sure if it's legal

Yeah, that may be a bad idea. There's a reason in-dash DVD players only work when the car in is in park.

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

There seems to be a lack of rugged cases for this tablet. I was looking for something i can put the tablet into, so it won't break when kids go nuts on it. Only managed to find this and it doesn't look nearly as cool as the one you found though http://www.amazon.ca/Poetic-Xperia-Tablet-TURTLE-Series/dp/B00JEOS0HS

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

I have bought 4 different cases for my Z2 Tablet, but the best one I found is the poetic one. I had dropped it a few times and the drops did no damages at all. Well, I had a tempered glass screen protector though.
