i would go with the brodit holders. i have had them for my last 4 phones and they are great . The fit is great, however they arn't as cheap as some... but you do pay for what you get.
a good company to get them from is dsl developments. mine should be here in a min so i will post a few pics if your interested
Ordered this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-TOUCH-HD2...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL?hash=item518ed1309c
Came today with charger, holder identical with the one provided by O2 UK with Orbit 2. It's holding HD2 very nicely.

Same here. I've already got the Brodit active mount installed it's the 4th one now. It's one of the first things I buy when I get a new phone. I use a RAM suction mount instead of the vent clip option. It's so easy to use just slide the phone in and out.
Ditto. I've just fitted a Brodit active mount for my HD2. Good quality mount that holds the HD2 firmly vertically or horizontally and the power connector lines up perfectly. I never regretted buying Brodit mounts for my past two phones and this one looks to be no exception.
same as above Brodit holder every time, good quality, good fit, not cheap but with a £500 phone its well worth getting something thats not going to drop it eh?
Brodit all the way! btw, there is a active thread already on this with many posts

Why not having a look on www.brodit.com.
I already installed the active one but removed the cig-plug (whole cable) and replaced it by a USB cable. So I'm also able to listen music while charging.
Works like a charm.

Hi Joerg,
How did you do this, my car stereo has a USB input and I'm also hoping this maybe a partial workaround to the Bluetooth issue.
Is there a line out in the micro-usb-plug, too? Like in the older HTC-devices or can i only get sound over the 3.5mm-headphone-plug?
On my polaris i used a htc adapter, where i pluged in a 3.5mm-sound-cable.

The Audio line out on the HD (mini USB) was not available so I can't imagine it being reinstated for the the HD2.
That´s bad. So i allways have to plug in two cables.
it looks nice. Thanks!
However, having a look at it, it seems like it's not possible to keep the HD2 horizontally (I mean the support holding the HD2 seems to be only for vertical use). Is this correct?

Would be intresting, if someone has this carholder and can say something about ist.
Landscape holding is important for me, because i want to use the hd2 for navigation.
What about the Motorola Moto Q-Holder? Can i use my HD2 landscape with this holder?

About that OTG Cable, just click on the eForCity one (recommended section or related, I don;t know) and you will see it has many compatibility problems some don;'t even fit in the Nexus 7

Cheers for the link, would have bought the USB OTG cable that you listed, if it let me ship to my address, tried 3 of the different sellers, and amazon said they couldn't/wouldn't ship to that address, yet im in the UK?
So I had another search on Amazon and found another one for £1 extra, dya want the link so you can add it if anyone faces the same issue?

I saw the surface and fell in love with their keyboard dock, and was wondering if there was anything like it for my nexus. I thinking would be really cool+ sell a lot of such thing existed.
What do you exactly mean by "Windows 8" (an operating system) "keyboard dock" (something between a docking station and a keyboard)?

I wonder is there is a way to mod the official one, because the nexus has pins on the side like on the surface tablet, and the keyboard connects onto these pins
No, there's no way to modify the official one as the pogo pins are power (+/-) and audio (left|right channel).

You mean the Surface RT Smart Cover. There are some bluetooth keyboards integrated with a case, search for that.

None are as pretty or as thin and simple as the Surface dock, all the nexus ones are fat and and heavy.

There is no way to mod the surface keyboard. The surface does have pogo pins but it has two more pins while our nexus 7 has 4.

I mean if we could get the data pin in/out and the schematics we could make it USB and us it with a otg adapter

Those are really bulky, I have searched for hours for something like the surface dock, I wish they sold USB versions...
Hi all,
Not sure if this will work with the N7 but for the price but I have ordered one.
Logitech mini boom box with Bluetooth connection for £40 from tesco direct = bargain price for a reasonable portable speaker. Will post a review once I get hold of the thing in a couple of days.
Cheers Jon
That does seem to be a good price.

Yes amazon are doing the same boom box but in black for £73 so it looks ok . I thought to get one for the bathroom / kitchen etc. Currently I hook up the N7 to a veho Mimi but its not Bluetooth as such although the sound is awesome.
Logitech Mini Boombox at Amazon - for its size and money the sound is great. It has a microphone so it can be used as a speakerphone. I tried that and it worked wonderfully making the conversation much more pleasant than using the built-in speaker and mic on my phone.
Hello Guys,
I want to buy a keyboard for nexus 7 while sitting on my bed, which will be the best one and why? Please vote for these

Thanks in Advance
I use the "aluminium" one which is made of plastic. Works perfect, quite small, but serves as cover as well.
Those aluminium keyboards are not aluminium, they are plastic but are nice enough. The K400 is also good enough but not up to Logitechs usual high standards and it's not an Android keyboard.

The case is not aluminium, trust me or go and read the thread Bluetooth aluminium keyboard in this forum..
I own a K400 and as I said it's an ok keyboard which works fine, but it's cheap and plasticky compared to most other Logitech keyboards.

thanx troute, i trust you as you own it. so, which one would you suggest. easy to type and use as you have both of them.
As mentioned in my post as well, the keyboard is plastic, all of them afaik. I own one and know what I am writing, at least up till today ....
Alex19Gam @ which keyboard you would prefer. Please mention. thanks
the k400 is more suited for a HTPC so i wouldn't get one of those as i have one my self and using it on a nexus 7 would be hard + u need an usb adapter to connect to it...
how about this option
