ebay swivel one x holder

My swivel holder arrived yesterday. I pasted it onto my dashboard with the included base and it holds very tight.

Let's see how it will take several mounting and dismounting of my HOX, but so far so good. It's a bit tight to get the phone in, nothing as smooth as my mount I had for my HD2 (case exactly made for the phone), but at least now I can keep the thing and having it on the dashboard is also better imho. Also you can very easily rotate the phone with this mount, all while still holding relatively tight (it does vibrate a bit from time to time but that was the same with my old windshield mount). I turn it to the left to charge it (horizontal) and upside down to plug my jack cable to listen to music

All in all I am quite happy with this mount, especially if I take the price into consideration!

Hey mate that's what I'm using now too.
It came with a sticky dash mount and I now have it sitting on the door trim/top thing as I wanted.
For the price this really is the "Best unofficial dock".

Versus the official dock I would say...

Non-Official Ebay Cradle

**PROS**

- Cheap
- Swivel / Rotate (landscape/portrait)
- Case or no case friendly
- Accepts the phone in any manner (frontwards or reverse)
- Small design
- Will work with other phones (maybe even the bigass Note).
**CONS**
- Feels a little flimsy
- Does vibrate
- No built in charger
- No "car mode" automatic activation

Official HTC Cradle

**PROS**

- Built in charger + cable
- Simple to dock your phone (drop/slide in)
- Well built (looks it - i don't have one)
- Automatically activates "car mode"
**CONS**
- Landscape only
- Not case friendly
- Phone may pop out (so I've read)
- Pretty bulky looking
- Worth more then what it should be

Anyway price is obviously the issue for many, others may argue "You buy an expensive phone, don't get cheap on accessories".
If HTC made one that would work with a case and one that could swivel 360 then I would have spent my money on it.
Landscape only and popping off the case every time to dock is annoying.

I can manage to get the phone in, but the fit is so tight I'm scared the screen will crack when I hit the first bump in the road...
Yeah it has G21.
Thanks for the info. I was going to rubish it as I won't be using it.
I will get my money back now from them scabs selling non correct items.
I put the phone in it twice and realized it was way too tight.
It fits so tight that it leaves rub marks on the places where the brackets make contact.
They cleaned off but many uses would probably damage the phone long term yeah.

I have bought that http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-Univer...5975957&sr=8-1
It will fit also wit silicone case on it which is perfect as I don't have to take the phone out of the case each time I want to use satnav. Also it's universal so will be usable on any phone up to 70mm width.

It's nearly the same price as the official one though. That said I've used the same Nokia holder for years. I bought it as 2 separate parts, windscreen mount and phone holder. It fitted my N95 8GB, Blackberry storm, Xperia X1i, Touch Pro 2, Desire & Sensation and its still going strong. My phone as at last got just too big!

There are 2 version of the KiDiGi cradle. Both are currently on pre-order.
With Handsfree - http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/on...l.php?pid=5834
Normal - http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/on...l.php?pid=5833

Im looking at these 2, they look like a quality alternative. Not sure what the Handsfreee part of it does, maybe it has a mic and speaker built-in

Mine arrived today. Seems really well made. When its fully open there is about a 5mm gap left so should fit with most cases left on the phone. There is also a dash mount but ive not been able to use it as there are no flat enough areas on my dash board.
The holder swivels 360° and seems really firm. Really pleased with it and at least with this it will fit my future phones rather than if i got the still out of stock genuine Htc mount.

I agree, one of the better ones.

Hello, i use the brodit car dock on the very first post.

You have to buy the specific fixation on the car which fits perfectly.

I use the one on the "passenger" side, just in front of the air flow which send fresh conditionned air, so i have a very good cooling effect ...

Just under the front window, directly to the sun, the one X will surely overheat rapidly. The holder on the central mirror is also a very good choice, if you have a very rigid central mirror.

Edit : This dock can be turned to use a landscape view ...

The only annoying thing is the position of the charger inlet which is a bit badly placed on the phone itself.
I often touch the volume button when i put it on ...

I bought all things in eBay

Here are some photos of my car ( Opel Astra ) :
