Has anyone found a stand-alone car charger for cheap? I dont want to get a cheapo miniUSB car charger. an HTC/OEM charger for cheap would be nice to have for the car.
I bought the car kit listed earlier in this thread for $11 and it comes with an OEM HTC charger, even has a second USB port for charging an additional device.
here are some pic of the mount
Let me know how it works, mine is on the boat.
Well today was my first time using it and let me say its the best one i have used and i have had many other phones with after markets ones and ORG ones .. But this is by far the best one with builtin charger and is does not bounce around when mounted in the car at all, like all others i have used and you dont feel like the phone is going to fallout . the guy only has 5 left after buying another one for my other car LOL $11.65 Shipped is the best deal with charger / cable and Dock
In you guys' opinions, does this phone NEED a case? As long as I have a screen protector, there's nothing external that can get damaged. Besides absorbing shock from a drop, do I need it? What do you think? I'd just be getting a simple TPU case from ebay.

Mine fell onto thin carpet (with no padding) or onto concrete, not sure which, from 7 feet the other day, it damaged a corner of the battery cover to where it wouldn't quite sit flush. Otherwise, the phone survived fine.In you guys' opinions, does this phone NEED a case? As long as I have a screen protector, there's nothing external that can get damaged.

You might think that would convince me to get a cover now, but quite the opposite, if it survived that, it will survive shorter falls with no problems. How often is your phone 7 feet off the ground over concrete or thin, unpadded carpet? Most falls are from your hand or a table.

ebay TPU, aha. Except I want the plum EVO from BB and I'd get a clear TPU but I had a clear TPU for my wildfire and it got dirty really quickly, but I also have a white wildfire, so, hm.
I mean a screen protector is a no-brainer but, I might as well have the comfort of knowing my phone won't get dinged up.
I want the Plum, so - clear or purple? :3
I got the purple one via Amazon instead of eBay but I'm sure it's the same. Looks good but rather hides the plum-ness of my phone. I think you'll prefer clear if you want to show off the color.

I got to try mine the other night. Even after shimming the holder, it still has a minor vibration, I have to wedge it against something to stop it. I put one of the above on order today.
