Accessories - what have you found?

[KryptoNyte]

I see that the HTC Evo 3D has been available for some time now with the contract carriers, so the prices on the accessories seem to be quite reasonable. If the phone really takes off again now with Virgin Mobile availability, not sure how long the low prices will last. Anyways, here's what I have purchased so far;

Radio Shack - HTC Evo 3D branded rubber skin. I think this was originally 20 or 30 bucks, now on sale in store for $10. I believe I got it yesterday for $8 for some reason.

Amazon - Desktop Cradle - 21 bucks. Why not.
Amazon.com: HTC Original EVO 3D Desktop Cradle Dock in OEM (99H10403-00) Retail Packaging: Cell Phones & Accessories

Amazon - Menotek Micro USB to HDMI MHL adapter. 13 bucks. You'll need one of these with this phone if you ever want to plug it into any device with HDMI, such as a television. (NOTE: You will also need to plug your Evo's power cable, or equivalent usb power, into the adapter to get it to work properly). You'll also need an HDMI cable.

Amazon - Anker (2) 1900mAh batteries, with generic charger. A little bit longer battery life, extra batteries, and a charger, I'm in.

Amazon - HTC Evo 3D OEM Back Cover - As I was ordering other accessories on Amazon, I figured an extra 7 bucks was a good investment to have the extra back. With me taking batteries in and out, I darn near wore out the back cover on my Optimus V.

Nice! The desktop cradle look nice to have. I used a BlackBerry dock for my Triumph, so it'll be nice to have a dock purposefully made for the Evo V.

I did find it $9 cheaper on eBay, although the listing says that it's used. Might even turn out not to be the original HTC-made dock, but as long as it works correctly I don't mind. I got one and will tell you guys how it goes.

Nice finds. I just picked up the dock, car mount, skinomi screen protector and a clip holster.

Yeah, that car mount is pretty tough to beat for 12 bucks, shipped.

I thought that Otterbox commuter case was a pretty good deal for $9 with free shipping, we'll see how it turns out!

I thought about it too. But look at the reviews, lots of people said the top part are off, even a replacement from outterbox. Also they said by time the silicone will scratch out.

This is the stuff I got for my evo so far and I still don't have it, fedex does.
A nice case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058D286S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Also some cheap screen protectors

I bought the extended (3500mAH?) battery at cowboom also. Supposedly is made by Seidio and so Seidio extended battery cases and dock should work with it. The battery is also way cheaper than Seidio's 4000mAH battery which is ~$55 and I don't think the little extra is worth paying almost 3x as much.

I'm going to be spending $35 on this mil spec screen protector they install at a kiosk in my local mall. It's amazing. This person selling it handed the demo protector to my fiancee and told him to rip it. He couldn't.

I was amazed. I also got this cover that was partially made from an old tire. It literally has the design of a tire LOL. It's pretty cool too. Got that for $14.

 

[Jargin]

Wow, great price on the car dock!

Not really, that's why we are all on VM basically contract service for less than half the price.

 

[thebryceee]

I was talking about accessories. Cheap stuff is not ALWAYS better.

 

[KryptoNyte]

Not really, that's why we are all on VM basically contract service for less than half the price.

A few months ago I drove about 30 miles west of Madison, WI and then on into Iowa and realized that I'm getting exactly what I'm paying for with Virgin Mobile.

Anyways, back to accessories ...

 

[septembersrain]

I love it!

 

[septembersrain]

Link that please...its always good to recycle and help our lovely earth

I looked for the link. It's no longer available. =[
I had got this cover almost a month ago.

I'm sure something like it is out there, keep looking! XD

 

[ssjChris]

Speaking of cheap accessories, why not a cheap case that seems to be... good?
I ordered 2. It's only $2.20 shipped... and I've never had a case for any of my cell phones. No joke (and I've never broke any of them).

The Seidio extended case I got was $20.

The TPU case I got for the Triumph was only $6 and it works perfectly and doesn't even look like I'm using a case.
