Looks like a cradle for the T-Mobile US HD2! (*UPDATE, DOES NOT PLAY STEREO AUDIO*)

[darnell]

Ordered myself one earlier today.

It says that it is made for the US T-Mobile model and is being sold by the same seller who also sells cradles for the European version. So the seller knows the difference.

Cradle + spare battery charger + headphone jack = WINNER

UPDATE: See later post, this cradle does NOT play stereo audio!!!
See this later post and this one.
This cradle is NOT a winner!

Very cool, but what is keeping it upright? It looks like the micro usb and 3.5mm jack to me. If that is the case I would be worried that stress on those ports could cause them to break after a while.

there is a link to a different cradle in the 1600mah battery thread that costs a little less and looks like it may have more support to hold the phone up other than the 2 ports.

Being one who intentionally purchased the European version of this cradle "just hoping" it might fit my USA T-Mobile HD2, I can say that it's not just the ports that hold the device upright. (No my US T-Moble HD2 didn't fit properly, but enough for me to see how the cradle keeps the device upright. The fact it did not fit is part of the reason I know how it holds the device up by more than just the ports.) The cradle is custom sized at the bottom, to perfectly fit the version of HD2 that it was made for. The plastic at the bottom that holds the base of the device like a cup.

My only concern, is whether it can hold my device while I'm using Bodyguardz. Since the base is custom sized to fit the bottom of the device so snug.

This has no 3.5mm jack to support using headphones while the device is in the cradle. Also, that cradle only has a mini USB port on the back for sync and charge.

Having the European version of the cradle with the 3.5mm jack + mini USB and Micro USB ports on the back, I'm not worried at all about the ports getting loose. I'm just glad they made a version for the T-Mobile US HD2, since I could never "modify" the European version to fit my HD2 .

I am in the same boat. I have a Maximum Protection Invisible Shield and would love to buy one of these, however I am not gonna waste my money if it will not allow me to use it without removing a portion of the shield from my phone. I know that my wife has a cradle for her myTouch 3G and it fits in there really tight and it had nor protection.

I'll write back once I have mine.

I don't want to run too far off on a side-bar, but I can say I tried both Invisible Shield and BodyGuardz when I had a Touch Pro. And if you have never tried BodyGuardz, I think you'd never use Invisible Shield ever again after using BodyGuardz or BSE. Especially with a device where screen clarity is critical, like with the HD2.
