I still hope there will be a vertical cradle, although the plugin for the chargder is on the side.

I think I like it more then a vertical one ... The wide view allows for better seeing mails, pictures ... whatever ... And it's more stable too maybe. I'm getting one

oh! I want! I want!
haha. ) - does this work with evo? I like horizontal as well. less likely to topple over, cause I use the phone as an alarm clock and grab for it blindly to shut it up. )

Website says 1. April, hope that is no joke ;-)

Kidigi now has the horizontal cradel for sale.

HTC Incredible S USB Desktop Cradle with 2nd battery slot
Any one has it? Is it good? Where to buy it (UK)?
here is also vertical one:

Wouldnt the vertical one affect reception since it blocks the bottom of the back cover?

The IncS fits in my old HD2 cradle, but since the charger is on the side on the IncS, oppersit to the HD2 where its at the bottom, i had to do some "modding".

i could not find anyone who sells the kidigi horizontal cradle.

I ordered the horizontal cradle from Mugen Batteries, together with an extended 1800 battery.
I already have the battery, which does make a difference btw.
The cradle was not in stock and should be available end of this month (May).
Delivery and service excellent btw...

aside from the "barbie doll" yes..made out from wood, carved using mini dremmel+sandpaper.

@ GoblinIT: why is the battery crap? I have a different opinion....the battery definitely gives me more power and lasts about 30-40% longer.
The cradle was posted to me yesterday and I should have it within the next 2 weeks..

Mugen Power Crap!
I've just received cradle from Mugen Power and I wouldn't recommended it to anyone.[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]OK. Cradle is really well done, looks solid etc. but...
LEDs - Left always blue, Right always green... Whatever you plug or not... So what are they for?
Audio mini Jack is covered, so forget about plugging anything...
You can't know if second battery charging process is finish or not...
And the worst - look at attached image - power plug - what is this? Where I can plug it? Crap!
Delivery time: over 1 month and 1 week
It is not the Kidigi one, it is cheap copy...
Waste of money. Don't buy it... Maybe if you buy it in Europe you would get the proper plug... but evidently please don't buy it from Mugen Power![FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]Is it NOT that one:[FONT=&quot]

So have you got it? What is your opinion? Battery life is not only my opinion, it was tested and my test showed it has shorter battery life then original one from HTC...

^ Thanks for posting that and warning me. I was about to order it from them and I am now glad I didn't.
I am going to continue looking for an authentic one and if I find one I will be sure to share it on here.

I also got the cradle and despite the fact that it does what it says; you can charge phone and battery, it feels really cheap and 'plastic', so on the cradle I agree with GoblinIT.
I still am happy with the battery though.

iOttie Car dock, not bad for $20

Got myself a cheap temporary dock for my Note 2 until I get the ProClip one in a month or two (waiting till after xmas). Found this one on Amazon for a nice $20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FH716W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I like it so far. Very stable and has a good range of motion to it. No vibrations at all, (does start shaking a little bit when doing 150).
Also works nicely to hold it as a dash camera.
Also holds my phone with no problem with the Body Glove case on it.
Oh and that white square isn't part of it. Thats one of my NFC tags to start Waze and CoPilot whenever I put it in the dock.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them as best I can.
Anyway, here's some pictures:

This dock is technically one of those "universal ones", but it works well because of the spring loaded lock.
When you press the phone in, it hits this little button and snaps the side grips closed on your phone.
Then once they are closed, to release, just press these two and it unlocks the phone.
And nice thing is, because of how you have to release it, the phone will fall into your palm and you can just grab and go.

thanks for posting this, looks like a nice mount, the only thing i wish it had was a built in microusb cable to automatically start charging without me having to connect it lol

+1 for STi
/highfive

The nice thing is that it will grab textured dash just as well. Mine has been on my dash for over a week and it is not losing it's grip.

Do the holders at the bottom block the mic?

Thanks for the pics and the review, I've been looking for a cheap dock. The phone falls out of the cubby holes in my car's dash. lol

can you show a picture with the arms at their WIDEST with the phone in it ? IE how much "wider" can it go? (my cases add a lot of bulk to the phone)

I don't know why you guys buy car dock for. Its big and ugly. Its always in the way. It looks like a cawk sticking out from the windshield. Its best to get a 1 inch rubberband and 3 dollar case and modify it. I had it done on my sg2. I'm waiting on my case and will post pictures later.

because in order to use the phone case as a dock you need to use the phone SANS CASE and that is not acceptable to me
as for why a dock? thats easy. fumbling with the phone while driving is a good way to die and possibly kill others ie don't do it.
dock makes it convenient. Slip Grip made a case for the impact case I use for the S3 hopefully they will make an impact case for the Note II and hopefully slip grip will make a grip for the Note II in the impact case

Newegg has this one on Black Friday special for $10 with coupon code BLKFRIDAY27. I wish I live in the States
Sorry, the $10 with coupon is for the iPhone model, the one for Note 2 is $25 and am not sure if the coupon code applies.

If you'd used the official s2 dock you wouldn't be asking that question! Awesome piece of hardware with fantastic integrated charger and audio out.

Your bulky case couldn't possibly be bigger than this behemoth:
There is still a couple of mm on each side so it wil accomodate even an otterbox defender is my guess.

actually that's what I call a slim case the cases I use feom case ology are quite a bit thicker in both thickness and width
Though this jelly tank korean case I got today is pretty impressive

Great work. I've always wanted to try out those add-on chargers. I've have a leftover Nokia charger that I bought for my Nexus 7. I would have to think that the module will fit inside the case after you pry it off. I currently have a thin magnet nestled in the case to use with my car dock.

Does anyone have url's for people in europe?
Ordering these stuff on ebay takes way too long and Amazon won't deliver most products.
I haven't found european suppliers that can deliver the pad + receiver + skinn for under 50euros

Here's some pictures with my Diztronic case. I had extrememly low expectations and was surprised how perfectly it fits flush with the case that it felt wrong when I took it off the other day. Works flawlessly with my DT-900.

My charger broke the other day, the tiny wire strip ripped a little and it no longer charges my phone. I think it lasted around 3 1/2 months. Towards the end I found it somewhat inconviencing to not have a usb unless I took it out. I'm currently on the fence on if I'll buy another. However it was very nice to have.

These really aren't that great, I was forced to use the USB port since the stock rom is buggy/bloated because I use the PA Rom. My DT-900 charged hopelessly slow and being able to toss it on for 10 minutes and get 3 hours of charge is something I have to do sometimes now that my battery has worn down.

I would love to see pictures of the charging dock as well.

Just a quick note for everyone viewing this thread, there is a lot of info on this type of Qi Charging coil in another thread: External Qi Charging Coil.
Some of your questions might be answered in that thread, such as charging rates, and how it works. I've been using it for some time and enjoy it. About the only problem I have with it is that I want to add a chunk of steel and a magnet so that the phone will "auto align" to the charging pad. That and to hold the phone to the charging pad, as a slight bump with the case I'm using will cause it to slide right off.
Also one last note, if you are using a horizontal holster, it can snag on the usb plug. So make sure the case you are using protects the plug, or you are very careful. The Poetic case I have doesn't protect the bottom and top, and thus the cable can get caught by the holster. Vertical holsters work quite well with the Poetic case, you just have to find one that fits....

Looks great!! gonna build and report back later

AT&T had the Nokia Qi Charging docks for $5 plus free shipping the other day. It uses a barrel plug to charge, but great for permanent positions like by the bed or office. I moved my Samsung (microUSB) over into my travel bag. I'm actually VERY surprised how well the Nokia Qi is at "pairing" with my Verizon. I seriously just drop it on there and it starts charging where my Samsung had to be "generally" in the same area to get it to go. The Samsung still had play room unlike some of the cheaper $10 ebay models where it required exact precision to "pair" and start charging.
I don't know if the deal is still on but would be worth a look.
UPDATE:
Yup Still $5

The insert is think enough to fit underneath the battery cover.

ZeroLemon HTC One M8 Review

IOk, I've never written a review before, but this is a new case from ZeroLemon so here goes!
Ordered from Amazon, took about 4 days on expedited shipping to get to where I'm at in the midwest.
The package contents:

As you can see it came with an Instructions Manual, the 2100mAH battery, warranty card, case and belt clip holder, and yes, even a PET film-type screen protector, all packaged inside the bag on the left.
Instructions, which were fairly detailed:
The case:
It is made out of TPU, which feels a little cheaper than I would expect for a "premium" case. (My Otterbox Defender's rubber feels MUCH nicer) Despite the "cheap" feeling, it holds together very well and actually doesnt detract from the overall feel too much. All in all, I'd say I like it. It holds the phone securely and there isn't any rattling or loose feeling.
I'm impressed with how rugged it feels.
Putting it together is fairly straight forward although there are some extra steps outside of your normal layered case.
Size comparison to Otterbox Defender:
A view of the battery port and included cable:
Assembled:
Charging Port:
So far, it has charged the phone like it should and when plugged in, charges the phone FIRST, and the external battery SECOND.
The one issue I've encountered, is the phone detects the lower amperage as a charging problem/slow charge:
It also fits well with my .33mm thick tempered glass screen protector.
The physical buttons feel fantastic! They have a great tactile feel which is very rare in a case.
Overall, it's a great case, but I think $49 is the MAX I'd pay for this case.
**NOTE: This case covers the IR emitter.**

Thanks for the review, very helpful. Can you please post a pic of the headphone jack? Will it need an extender to connect the headphones? Thanks

It looks like it depends on the shape and size of the connector. It will need to be thin. Like a Bose or Apple sized connector. I'll get pictures soon!
Also about the charging alert, it seems to charge with similar speed to the stock HTC charger (both are 5v/1amp, so it may detect some voltage fluctuation, giving the alert)

Review of the CHOETECH Essentials Pack

Hey everyone. I wanted to give a quick review of 3 items that came in a package to me this week from CHOETECH.

- 3Pack USB C to USB 3.0 Nylon Braid cable(1M*2+2M):
- 6 ports QC 3.0 charging station
- Stand fast wireless charger​
*** Just as an FYI. I tested all of these with my S8+. I ordered my Note 8, but like everyone else... Its on the way.
We can start with the Nylon Cable. Quality of it is great. Its actually braided and does work with fast charging. I have noticed there are a few aftermarket USB-C cords that do not support this regardless of the power brick used. I tried this with my Samsung power brick and the CHOETECH Desktop charger.
What I really liked is that this is a thick cord. Everything on this actually feels like quality.
On to the Charging Station... This one makes me happy. At work, my desk has all of my cables hidden for my multiple monitors, docking station and phone line. I do have two desktop plugs but I use one for my extra laptop and the other has to be shared for my 2 tablets and 2 phones. I brought the charging station to work and it did not disappoint.
There are 2 designated ports that allow for 3.0 charging. I have one tablet and one phone that use that. When plugged in at the same time, both said fast charging enabled. Here are the specs on this one.
Even though for some, this may not be a big deal, I actually like the stand. I don't have a place to hide this 6 USB brick, so it still looked presentable. Best part, this came with a USB-C cord. VERY cool.
Finally the Wireless Stand. I didn't get to play with this one as much as I wanted to but it was awesome. I had it on my charger for less that 20 min and had 30% juice from 15% up to 45%.
Even though I was fortunate enough to receive these from CHOETECH, I will always give my honest review on these. You're definitely getting your money's worth on these three items. Now if my Note 8 can arrive, I will update my photos with that phone.
