[Q] Is The HD2 Car Mount Compatible With HD7?

[Bigcountryed]

Since my HD2 is now broken (dropped it face down on the concrete) , I'm thinking about getting the HD7. I purchased the official OEM HD2 car mount for my phone and I really enjoyed it. But I wanted to know if this same car mount would fit the HD7 as well.

From reading the dimensions and visually comparing the 2 devices, everything seems to be pretty close match to each other (such as the micro usb port, thickness and such.) I spent $60 on the mount, and its really good, but I don't want to get another one. So I was really hoping that someone may have been in a similar situation, and can find out for me please.

It might be a snug fit but it will fit HD7 and I am sorry i do not have the dock to make a comparison but i am sure someone here will be able to answer your question shortly

I've got a HD2 car holder and my HD7 fits fine.

I've got a HD2 car holder and my HD7 fits fine.

yes...but with a small handicap.
as the on/off switch of the hd7 is suited on the devices top side,the upper clip of the holder gives you no chance to switch on/off your device, cause there is no more accsess to it.
so a little maintenance on the upper clip is asked.
The small difference in height and the width between 2 and 7 is accepted by the holder - with some violence.

Wouldn't recommend it

Just as [hums] mentioned, it requires a little "violence" to get it to fit - you won't be able to attach/detach it easily with one hand like you could with the HD2.

Also, the power button is completely obstructed, and I don't see a way to mod the clip to make it accessible without destroying the structural integrity of the clip.

I'd suggest purchasing the HD7 Car Holster from EXPANSYS (item #206957) - I don't have it myself, but I plan on ordering it today. The only downside is that the power connector isn't integrated, but none of the HD7 car cradles on the market seem to have an integrated power connector.

I've just got this one from mobilefun.co.uk and i've gotta say it's the best i've owned.

Even though it's "universal", which i usually assoicate with "Cheap crap", it's fantastic. Build quality, ease of use, and fit. For a tenner i'd recommend to anyone.
