just got the cradle(s) in today and, well, ummm, it fits I guess but it's very very tight. In fact you might argue that it really doesn't fit since you really have to force it in and 'jimmy' with it until it makes a connection. You really have to force it in, using both hands and at the most correct angle to make the USB connection fit. Very disappointing. The battery fits better but it's still a tight fit, not as bad as the diamond fitting in the cradle.
Also the little rubber pads on the bottom were off and moved around. All in all, I guess this China product is yet another poor quality and likely mis-lableled item.
Here are a couple of pictures to evidence that this is a POOR excuse for a cradle.

I'm sending them back and just going to have to spend the money for the correct cradle.

Same here but the only way I could get it to fit was to take the back cover off.. that's not what I was looking to do at all... so back it goes.

Dear marklyn,

I ordered that exact model from the exact seller and lo and behold I have to take off the battery cover for it to actually work not to mention it has 2 VERY bright LED lights that bother the crap out of me when I'm trying to go to bed. Definitely not for the CDMA version. I'll try to return it but I think I threw away the package stuff.

I bought the DayDeal unit and it works pretty decent. The first few times it was tight, but now it seems to be better.

Yeah, I forgot about those lights! Bright, bright, bright!
My chargers were so tight that it took two hands to cradle and un-cradle. It is obvious this is for another phone.

fits perfectly for me, not tight at all. the leds are bright though. the only "issue" i have is that the extra battery wont charge with a stock htc miniusb charger, you have to use the included pin ac charger. would definitely recommend it though, the phone and extra battery both fit wonderfully
