Accessories Desktop Charger for Desire + Gel Case

[albert_htc]

Anyone know a decent desktop charger / stand that will take the desire whilst in a silicon / gel case ?

I want to charge it at night and use it as my alarm, but I don't want to have to remove it from the gel case each time !!

Thanks

I have the same case from the same seller and it's really good quality and fits perfectly. Just as good as a

So has anyone found a desktop charger that works with the shell ? I've asked sellers on ebay and all say no. Which is a right pain. I found a thread that someone uses a fabric one from Staples for $7 but nothing in the UK.

im awaiting a gel case, it should arrive today. I already have a cradle so ill let you know if it works or not. If it doesnt work then im not beyond modding the cradle so if it can be done ill find a way and post back in here

I don't think you'll find a cradle that will allow a Desire to dock with any kind of case on - there's so many cases the cradle manufacture can hardly be expected to make one that fits all. It might be too tight for one or too loose for another.

There was a case for the iPhone where the bottom 1/4 slid off to allow it to sit on a cradle. Not sure if there's something simialr for the Desire

just so you know mine didnt fit, but I intend to make it fit

edit : i figured I could use A dremel type tool to take off a shaving of plastic as it just doesnt fit. maybe shaving away 1-2 mm will allow the usb connection to connect. In the end though I decided to do it the harder way and I decided to butcher the cradle. I took the stand part off the cradle, cut out a hole for a new usb cable and then fitted it to my volume control for my pc speakers. The control is a logitech one with an ipod/iphone stand so I made a little bracket to attach it to that.

I'm also looking for a desktop cradle that'll accept a Desire fitted with a Gel case, any updates on this?

 

[jellied]

perhaps we could design our own!

 

[Phenomenological]

Take one block of expanded polystyrene packaging, and one kitchen knife. Proceed to attack polystyrene with knife until an approximately desire sized hole appears. Cut a hole for a charging cable in the back, and spray paint polystyrene in a colour of your choosing. Add charging cable and phone.

Desk Magic - Non Slip USB Holder with USB Hub - Black - Mobile Den

Has anyone tried this ?

That looks suspiciously like the "Desk Genie Non-slip stand" from MobileFun which is definitely not 'compatible' with the Desire - something about the texture of the case means that it slides off the stand.

(And the ridiculous power adapter arrangement is just ugly!)
