Car Cradle/Dock - For A Sensible Price

I'm after a car phone holder with a USB connection built in. Has anyone come across one for a sensible price?
All I can find is the official HTC one which is over £50!! I've toyed with the idea of using a desk dock (£12), however I'm not sure whether this is a good plan as the phone's USB port will be put under some strain from the vibration of the vehicle which could lead to it being damaged.

EViS try ebay I got mine from there about a year or so ago, don't use it now (ebay that is )

I use this one in my car:
dealextreme.com/p/usb-ac-battery-charging-dock-cradle-for-htc-hd2-100-240v-44622
Works fine, connected both usb-connections to chargers... also charges extra battery.
Just attached with some welcro to the underside and the dash.....

Will that fit the TMOUS HD2?

I know a USB connection was required, but those are hard to find for a car cradle. I just got one of these for $7.50 on Amazon.

Card Cradle on Amazon
Works great. Sticks to my windshield and holds on. Pefect fit for my TMOUS HD2 in the holder with no lame thick padding. Camera functions also via an opening for it in the holder. Turns many ways for custom angles. I'm buying a second for my desk at work because I'm just that geeky.

Does that one shake while you driving?
I've got me self something like this but when i'm using it with eg. alaprecoreder app i cant get decent video....

It does just a little bit. I didn't think about that and video. I'll do a test video when I head out for lunch later.
*Edit*
I ran some video tests and was impressed with the results. If your car rides smooth, the holder should stay still. My truck does not ride smoothly but most of the time it worked and the video was very watchable. I only had issues with bumpy road spots, shifting, or when I got over 70 mph (112 kph). Not an issue with the holder, just my truck shaking some.

Poetic Nexus 7 Case Mod

I hate dongles. There, I said it. I. Hate. Dongles.
With the OTG capabilities and the enormous (relatively) storage capability of SD cards these days, it seemed that using a dongle with the N7 was inevitable. So I took the plunge and got one. But what to do about strain relief and <sigh> that damned floppy dongle getting in my way all the time?
I added Velcro strips to the case and to the dongle in order to keep it in place and out of my way when I was using it. Two wide strips on the back of the case, and one on the front provide more than adequate anchoring so that the N7 can sit on my desk in landscape mode AND hold the dongle in place and out of the way without a problem. It also keeps the mini USB socket from sustaining any damage from the dongle flopping around.
Here's the photos of what I did and I'm very satisfied with the end result.

As long as it works for you admittedly otg cables and dongles are not very handy things, I'm sure someone could come up with an all in one solution that matches the base line of the tablet and looks like a short extension of it.

No luck yet but im hopeful
I have send email and a small drawing to a hand full of connector design companies . Asking them about a ribbon like micro usb connector something that would be very slim low profile.. IF i get someone willing to make them . i will start a thread asking for those wanting a low profile usb otg to buy into getting the minimum made. Its like to be about 300 connectors at 25 cents to 1.00 each... There is a unlimited use for such a plug for this and other devices ..
Just thought i would add it as i see the stressful post .. I have a similar thing for my nexus Its ugly tacky and i do not like it .
Nice pics thou

I did something similar to my Poetic case last night., I just used industrial strength velcro, and less of it. Here's a few pics. I'm at work, and in a low light environment, so the pictures aren't great...

Review: Aukey Wireless Charger Charging Pad Qi-Enabled 360 Degree Rotatable...

Hi all. I purchased this from Amazon and it arrived yesterday. So far, it's just awesome. Small footprint, feels very sturdy, holds phone securely and allows you to adjust the angle it sits for optimal viewing. I did not notice my S6 Edge getting unusually warm like others have said about other chargers. For the money, I think it's great. Any questions, let me know.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LJKIOSU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A few questions for you:
** Are you using a case with your S6 Edge while charging?
** Do you have to move the phone around to find the sweet spot to get it to start charging?
** Does it hold the phone well if you have the charger angled a lot?

Hi. Thus far, I only have a thin plastic screen protector-ish thing on the back of the phone, but I am guessing it won't work with a case on very well - if at all. I imagine it depends on the case in question though. I have not had an issue where I had to find the sweet spot at all. I place it around the middle of the back and it just works!
I do have a case arriving today though, so I will test it out with the case on and report back.
For $25, I am very pleased so far. So many others were upwards of two to three times the cost (although some were cheaper too). Hope this helps.
EDIT: Okay, so my new Kavaj Tokyo case arrived and to my surprise, not only does the charger still hold my phone, it charges it through the case! Now I really love this case!!

CHOETECH Multip-purpose LED Flashlight

Hi guys, I'm taking some time to review something that has become one of my most used tools.
It's a flashlight, but it's also a power supply.
Well I have tested this device for a few months been a police officer I have tested in extreme situations.
And I want to let you know why I believe this is a necessary tool.
1.brightness
2. Aplication
3. Power
4. Confort and durability

First as I've been working in security for more than 10 years now. I've had bought more flashlights than I need[emoji1]
Well this is well above average, and quite awesome. It's brightness is more concentrated than my last 5watt torchlight and about the same brightness. Which it's perfect for all use.
Recently we had power surge and we used this device to light out the house. It did awesomely and was the only thing I needed.
Application:
As said before this is a bright torch and will not disappoint, and with its various modes it brings many functions.
1.flashlight
2. Torch
3. Emergency signal
Also this has a hidden feature a glass breaker, which many people don't even think of using but in a car accident it's a life saver, also it hides a seat belt cutter conveniently on the back but in such fashion it's safe for anyone.
Power
Power is something we look on all devices and many disappoint. But this one I use almost every day and I have charged it just a few. It easily covers you for a hole week without charging. And by heavy use.
And did I said its a power supply for smartphones? Yes, you take out the top cover and it unlocks it's main feature. A USB connection to charge your phone a side from the micro USB to charge the device itself.
So you'll never be out of juice in the hardest situations.
And to close out this review this device sounds huge and bulky but it's surprisingly light and ergonomic designed for the grip of your hand it will fit without slipping and it's hard as rock. Mine has endured hard weather, work and a 4year old kid. It has been thrown and survived in crazy situations without problems what more can you expect.
Here is the link for anyone who would like to check it out.

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing.

how many lumens? if its not at least a few hundred it cant replace my streamlight

Good question. Their website only says 3 watts. For now I'll also stick with my Streamlight (though it is just a flashlight).

[Review]RAVPower 10050mAh Waterproof Dustproof and Shockproof Rugged Power Bank

Full disclosure, RAVPower provided me with this power bank for an honest and fair review. There are many portable battery packs out there, but RAVPower is one of the names I trust to provide a quality product every time. This battery pack is not the highest capacity on the market, but at 10050mAh it should get you several full charges and the rugged design makes it ideal for those on the go. It has one 2.4A port and another 1A port and can deliver a max of 3.4A, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously. The pack itself also charges at up to 2A, so it recharges quicker than many packs out there which commonly use 1A. I have used this charger for about a month now, and through several charging cycles it has held up. I've been using it to charge my 2015 Kindle Fire 7", which has a 2980mAh battery, and I consistently get 3+ full charges out of it before the pack dies. The tablet has been drained to around 10% when it goes on, and usually on the 4th charge it gets me up to around 20-30% before the pack dies.
The rugged design of the power pack lets me throw it in my bag and if it gets dropped or handled a bit rough I'm not worried about damaging it. It is waterproof (IP66 rated) and dustproof when the port flap is closed, so spills aren't a concern either. The design adds a bit of bulk to the device, which is expected, but it is still small enough that I don't feel like I'm taking up valuable space in my bag. The built-in LED flashlight isn't the brightest, but I can see it being handy in emergencies. Two flat USB cables are included, one long and the other shorter. The included carabiner is a bit generic but will get the job done and allows you to clip it to your bag or belt if you desire. It also comes with a water bottle holder with compass, but lets be honest that's not why you're buying this.
Overall I'm very pleased with this battery pack. It delivers plenty of power, and the design let me not worry about damaging it. If you're looking for something small and discrete this probably isn't the bank for you, but otherwise I'd recommend this!
