Default Car Dock/Holder?

Anyone know of a car dock or holder for another phone that may work with LTEvo?

I just received that dock yesterday. First impressions are very good. One small exception.
I use the Platinum case that I got at Best Buy, which is essentially the same as the Seidio case.

The phone docks fine, but the case causes the phone to "tilt" a bit to the left. Even with the sleeve out of the dock, it still tilts a bit and does not seat all the way.
But it is barely noticeable and the dock works great.

If you get this dock, be advised that it does not come with a microUSB cable for connecting the dock to your 12v supply in your vehicle. But if your former phone was an EVO 4G like me, you probably have many of those cables laying around any way.
If you do not use a case, however, with the sleeve in the phone fits like a glove.

If you have seen or used the Seidio dock for the OG, like I did, the first thing I can say about this new dock is even though the EVO LTE is larger than the OG, the dock is less intrusive on the windshield.

Thanks, but i mainly just need something to hold my phone. I don't use the NAV on my phone anymore, so i just need something so my phone isn't sitting in my cupholder.

Default looks sexy but...

I just got my Diztronic case which is absolutely the perfect case and it will not fit in the dock. Not quite sure what to do... I'm leaning towards returning the dock.

EDIT:

after taking the insert out and using the pads in the box it works great!
Current Hardware:
HTC EVO 4G LTE
Diztronic TPU Case
32GB Sandisk MicroSDHC
HTC Carkit
HTC Stereoclip

It does tilt a bit, but that's what those two tiny foam pads that came with it are for. I put one on the right bottom side and the other on the middle nearer to the backside of the phone. It's almost perfectly balanced now.

I have the same case and it fits fine in the car dock. Did you remove the extra insert? There's an insert (adapter) that is in there for a naked LTE. It just pops right out and your Diztronic covered LTE will fit right in there. Make sure to use the two foam pieces on the right hand side so your phone doesn't tilt.

This is what I used with my Photon and it works perfectly with the evo lte. Just turn it sideways and turn on car mode. It holds TIGHT to the windshield and wont come off.. even in Texas heat. For extra fun take a nfc tag and have it auto launch car dock when near
Tytn ii (unlocked T-Mobile) > HTC Dream (G1) > HTC Expresso > Motorola Photon 4g > HTC Evo 4g LTE (MOTHER OF GAWD) > (AT&T) Samsung S3 (More Mother of Gawd)

All rooted of course
