So I've decided to make one thread for All HD2 Accessories.
The idea is for users to list or suggest some of the best accessories you've owned and used during your time with your HTC and give a brief recommendation.
Car chargers, cases, screen protectors etc.
If an existing thread of this nature already exists - I apologize, my intention was not to create another needless one.
Please just simply re-direct me to it by the link of the preexisting one and close off this one - No hard feelings...
I think it's a better idea for a thread than the stickied film protector that sucks.
Anyway, my recommendation is the Otterbox Defender Case

Same. I'm pretty tall so the size doesn't bother me at all. If I were tiny then I could imagine the extra weight might be annoying, but I enjoy having the ability to clip it quickly to the holster. I'm also now really fast at removing it from the case in order to get to the microSD card to load up android builds directly to the card.
PS3 Controller, better and cheaper then most bluetooth pads.
In car holder, I use a cheap chinese one works fine.
THB bury bluetooth connection / HUD, good in car, read your messages/call lists/make calls/contacts ect.
here is my suggestion...
I got the first Hard Gel-case that was available and did not quite like it because it was not really perfect fit. Than at one occasion I've read I think here at XDA a post that was pointing towards this case (pics attached along with ebay item number) that was really good good fit for tmobile US HD2s ... and - ordered, and have it since... the best fit so far and serves me well.
ebay item number is: 330485183615
Hi,
Would you kind forumers give me some good suggestions on possible physical keyboard accessories that fits the HTC HD2 on an Android ROM?
I have been looking at a few and am still looking. I bought an old Freedom Pro Keyboard and found it a bit unstable to use (keys not registering certain presses). So please recommend what you are using if possible. Thank you!
My phone never leaves it's £3.99 Wallet home!
I'm already on my second one (I decided to replace it after six months as it was getting tatty, and at this price I can't complain). What's great is that it serves my need as a wallet, keeps all my valuables together, adds little bulk to the device (in the sense that it's also your wallet ), and my phone looks as good as new despite my occasional clumsy droppage. Definitely a must-have for me.
While on eBay I just saw a smarter one for £9,99 which I'm a little tempted by...
My DREAM accessory would be a genuine, larger-capacity, same physical-size battery, ah but we can only dream...
So after watching a couple reviews, I'm liking the otterbox defender case and I'm giving it some consideration... Just thought I drop a line, see if any feedback is given on this (positive or negative)
1. mugen 2600 mAh extended battery (must have...GET ONE !!!)
2. skull candy ear buds nice and loud for 13 bucks on sale!
3. 2 16gb's + 1 8gb for music
4. zagg screen protector
5. when not using the extended battery i use a thin rubberized 1 piece hard case mine is actually navy blue not black
Otterbox Defender..a must have for my work. very tough but makes the screen a little less sensitive, a small price to pay for good protection, i wish it was a little more dust and waterproof though.
HTC Oem flip case simple, cheap and works well
Desk Genie Non-Slip Charging Desk Stand..brilliant love this stand, again cheap but works well, bought this for my TP2 and still using it
Vikuiti (TM) DQC-160 best screen protector ive ever used, easy to install, would buy another if ever i needed to but 6 months and so far i dont!
Andida "1600" battery, so cheap i dont care if its 1200, good enough for a spare.
Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones...Old school but work flawlessly
IO Play bluetooth music streaming car kit...got mine for £60, pairs first time evertime, good voice quality and full A2DP, which is more than ive heard said for more expensive alternatives of the feathery kind!
HTC Car holder i got free with my TP2..tight but just fits
If i didnt really need to use the Defender everyday, I would have bought and extended battery, probably the offical one, but hey...
I'm looking for a soft rubber case like the case I have for my i900 Omnia.
I've just ordered an HD2 and I find this sort of case is ideal for satnav because I change cars a lot and I can plug the charger in and the phone lies flat on top of the dash without sliding off.
I haven't got the time or space to carry a proper cradle, but this works just fine.
It's made of soft, stretchy rubber a bit like the inner tube out of a tyre, with some texturing on the back which helps it grip - does anyone know what I am trying to describe?
my pocket.
^ What he said + Vikuiti (TM) screen protector.
I know I'm going to regret asking this but who or what is "my pocket" apart from the bleeding obvious?
Music Bluetooth headset
My recommendation is Bluetooth music headset ''MW600'' from Sony ericsson.
Its also been called or well it is a officially accesiore for the Sony ericsson Aino.
Cant remember and find the exact typenumber that the MW600 have for the Aino, so its has 2 type numbers.
PS3 controller

You can use the PS3 controller with HD2? Is it possible to use another bluetooth/wireless controllers on this device?
I'd be glad if anyone could tell me.

1. OtterBox Defender (built in screen protector removed as below far better) £30
2. Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 (Same as DQC160, but now anti-reflective too) £10
3. A couple of cheap spare batteries (never had problems with them myself) £3ea
4. Mains USB/Battery charger (replaces the HTC one and adds spare battery charging functionality) £3
5. Retractable Mini-USB cable (great for travelling when combined with above) £2
6. Komputerbay MicroSDHC 16GB Class 6 £30
7. PS3 Controller to work with FPSECE (PS1 Emulator) via CobaltContoller £30
£115 of accessories... blimey... it adds up!
So i have my streak now and since i love it im going to get some things like a car holder for gps, now im wondering about the official dell holder or the ones that work with the otterbox cases?
Currently i dont have a case and would eventually like to get one, so recommendations for a case as well would be nice. Moving on i know the dell made holder is a nice fit and was wondering if i get that and decide to get a case will it still fit or no? It would suck to have to remove the case everytime i want to place the phone in the "dell" holder??
Thanks
Nowadays you'd buy the official Dell accessories only if you had more money than sense as there are equally as good versions out there for much less.
You mention the Otterbox, that's a good piece of kit and if you get that obviously you want a car mount that works with it.
I used this item.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AQCXI2
If the link does not show up, search Gomadic Dell streak vent car mount.
I used it in my civic si sedan on the vent, and it's great. Some caveat though. Read the reviews and you'll know. It also fits other phones if need be.
I don't think the normal Dell mount will work with the Otterbox case, it's a pretty tight fit without a case. The Dell mount works well, and isn't that expensive. I have more time than money but bought the dell mount because it was guaranteed to work with the Streak and I liked the fact I could rotate the phone from landscape to portrait.
Mike.
Thanks for the input guys
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
That one on amazon is nice but the this i would like is to be able to rotate... The ones that work with the otterbox are 39 bucks and the dell one is 39 so i just need to decide do i need or want a case...
What do you think about the window mount adjustable ones? Im just worried since most only secure on 3 sides it can bounce out??? Any know ones that are nice and can rotate 360 and are decent prices?
Thanks
i am using proclip~~ the holder can be adjusted so that it can fit my HD2(with or without case) and streak(with or without case), of course it is expensive, but it really worth for money
Buy original products
Hello
first of all - i am very happy bout my Streak (before HTC Leo)...
I paid 400€ and bought the original CarCradlekit (used like new) for 40€ and (used like new) for 20€ the FormFitCase. The Streak with the case fits perfect in the carcradle - its partiallly made with rubber!
As next i would by the DockingStation for home use - here is the FormFitCase perfect, because u can fold away the backside and it also fits perfect without putting the streak out from the case!! (Pic.3)...
I'm tired to use products that fit not perfect to a perfect device
so hope its helpful for someone here ....
Greetings from Austria ;D

OEM Car dock works fine with OtterBox Commuter case...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004158
I've just made the switch from iphone and need a new cradle and fm transmitter for GPS navigation in the car.
One slight complication is that I have just ordered a Otterbox defender case which going off the iphone version is quite big. I had this problem with the iphone and the solution was to buy a generic / universal cradle that can be adjusted to the otterbox dimensions. The Streak however has a the charging dock in an unconventional position which means most holders obstruct the port with the clamp. Therefore I am on the look out for a case which with the following capabilities:
1. Fits the dimensions of the Streak + Defender Case
2. Keeps the charging port free
3. Keeps the audio jack free so that I can use something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360367214309&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I have found a couple on ebay:

Do you guys think one of these will be ok or do you know of any better solutions?
Thanks
I have the one you posted in your first link and all my cables fit just fine. Hope his helps
I have purchased one called (ClipSlip) or something like that. You should have Otterbox impact. If you could not find I will share the link later.

Heres another one i have in transit now for my kayak, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190482313896&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I only need the holder for the kayak so i can use my navionics on the ponds and lakes, i have the mount already mounted in the yak and use the fitted holder out of my car when i need to.
Just google SlipGrip for dell streak with Otter Impact.
Thanks for the advice. I went for the 1st link in the end. The slipgrip looked really cool but decided a universl one is more versatile e.g. sometimes my girlfriend puts her iphone in the cradle.
Cheers
Looks like AT&T is listing a charging dock for the Vivid now. Has anyone seen one in a retail outlet?

I saw that on their site, too. (LINK) At that price I'm going to pass and wait for the aftermarket ones to show up on eBay.

Has any one tried this dock, just wanted to see if it would work if I had a case around. The last time I got one for Desire HD it fit perfectly but then I could not use a hard/soft case.
Well call it a test.
So, although there are not any charging docks out there for the HTC Vivid, there are charging docks out there for similar phones. That being said, I'm going to purchase this...
generic looking charging dock...for the HTC Thunderbolt and see how well it works. I figure I might have to give it some support in the back, but all in all it should be a good fit, not to mention the extra battery charging slot will be useless. I'm also going to pick up one of these...
window mount charging docks...and modify it so the Vivid will fit. The Vivid is .2" wider than the thunderbolt, so I figure it'll just make for a more tight fit.
charging dock and Car Mount
I bought few months ago this car mount (Exomount) from Amazon, I use 2 of them one at home and one in the car, It can hold anything so I use it as dock station too, So far it never failed me I drive around 6 hrs a day and its always sticked to my windshield never had problem with it, plus its cheap $ 15 sorry cant post links just search at Amazon "Exomount Universal Car Mount".
Vivid and dock or on the way from AT&T. Will post pics ASAP and answer any questions. I work for AT&T so I will report back on which cases still fit in the dock, if any, that we sell.

As an update to my original post, I received the window mount that I listed and after cutting off the far left side (the part the wraps around the top corner of the phone) it fit perfectly and it initiates the car mode when I put my phone in. The only downside is that it doesn't work with my TPU case in, but I think I have a plan to fix that

In a weak moment, I coughed up the $50 for this dock. At lease it comes with another wall-to-USB plug and a micro-USB cord. It works great, but I don't use a case. It is a snug fit. I doubt that it would work with any but the thinnest cases (without modification).
do you have a dock that automatically enters dock mode?
Does anybody have a dock, Car or Desk that automatically places the phone into dock mode? As I understand it other docks use a resistor between pins 4 and 5 to place the phone into dock mode. If you have a dock that automatically places your phone into dock mode, could you measure the resistance between pins 4 and 5. I've tried the 365K ohms suggested in another thread but it does not seem to have any effect.
Thanks.
I will try and post this tomorrow.
I have a resistance substitution box so I ran through a bunch of values. What I found is from about 12K to 9.8K Car Dock Mode is selected. From 1000K to 500K Desk Mode is selected. So I selected 10K for Car Mode and build a cable that seems to work. For Desk Mode I'd like to use 680K.
Then again. looking at these numbers I'm not too sure about the Desk Mode numbers I think they may be off by an order of magnitude, so I'm going to run those tests again. Ignore the Desk Mode number for now.
Bought the dock from AT&T (online) today after I got tired looking for one. Free 2 day shipping plus the cords included so that helped feel not so bad for it. I'll let yall know if it fits with the TPU case.
I just made this makeshift stand for mine for free with little materials.It may not be the prettiest but it does the job.Im going to glue rubber to the bottom and fill it with something heavy like sand or lead tomorrow.Works great here at home!Beef Jerky can,zip ties,and paper clips.Works for now!I decided to use the can so my volume button can be placed at the top while plugged in.Holds it in landscape or portrait mode.
^ lol
I was supposed to get a free Titan but the store screwed up, I had already bought a cheap titan dock from ebay for like 9 shipped. fits the vivid great!
HEHE!
Will any of these docks work with this otterbox commuter case?Let me know if anyone tries one.Thanks!

Like the title states, I soon will get 32GB+3G version of it, thinking to buy the dock when it comes out.
I now have Galaxy Nexus, long story short, I liked the dock that was in the first time Google showed it, after that there was bug in firmware, I could not find it for cheap and have no money, I waited and waited, and finally after some month of waiting, I put my hands on some accessories for it, that was the desktop multimedia dock, genuine MHL & OTG Samsung adapters, an extended battery (in retail pack btw), and the last but not least was the SGP Crumena case in black, my problem was that I needed a case but one I can get the device in and out quickly, neprene pouches are crap and looks cheap, so the leather pouch was a perfect solution with addition with the strap on the back and magnet is just the best.
I sent them a question if it possible to make me a custom case, till they answer, is there any other leather case out there that have a strap and magnet the some of you use and/or can recommend me? as you understand I will use the dock, so again I back for the same solution :silly: damn why they make a dock that cant hold a device with a case? sure the Galaxy Nexus designed for both standard and extended batter/cover, but that it, 3rd party docks are ok, but what good it will do with stress to the USB connector? even 3rd party docks for iPhones & iPods have interchangeable thing to fit with a case, just reminds me of same ****ing story with BB 9700 and a dock, it's like it chasing me from then, I admit it, I love docks, even if the just works as only stand and charger.
Well I think I will go with that one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Deluxe-Mo...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item826aef259a
some good comments about it.
Yep, I have the green one. Love mine.
Still no answer from SGP, but I checked out other MOFi products and very impressed, I'w seen there a 7XL size pouch:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.0.109.x4SCU6&id=9236794437&
but have one concern the depth is 20mm, isn't it will be to lose inside?
For my Galaxy Nexus I will go for 5XL phone size:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.3794121-713565359.24.Ev7wgS&id=15320374460
but it 10mm in depth, so that why I think 7XL size will be on a loose side..
