PerfektFit Charging Dock for HTC EVO™ 3D
 
I just purchased this charging dock for the EVO 3d. I like that it works with most cases and allows access to the the primary camera. You might not think that is a big deal but with AR navigation apps you got to have the camera looking at the road. I also like how it automatically brings up the Car Panel mode. The interface makes it feel like a standalone GPS. What do you guys think?

what cases would you consider to be in the "most" category? U think the Platinum/Seidio will fit? They aren't as bulky as lets say the Otterbox or Case-Mate Pop.

This post is worthless. No price, link or any other information other than a picture. Lame a55.

not worthless... now we know what it looks like and that it plays nice with Augmented Reality Navigation.

You know, you could ask the OP for price and link... UR post seemed to be more useless than any

Now that I have had this thing for a week I thought I would share some of my thoughts. The unit feels sturdy and sticks well to the windshield. The unit doesn’t collapse so it can be difficult to store in the center console or a small glove box. I have a narrow gap between the windshield and the dash and have found the included dash mount to be a better fit. I have had trouble finding a good AR navigation application for the US but Google Navigation works great. The Pt case I bought from Best Buy works with it well, but it also works equally well without a case.
I purchased my unit at my local Sprint store but it can be purchased from a variety of stores. Here is a link to it at the online Sprint store. I paid MSRP $39.99. Also this doesn’t come with it’s own a charging cable, any micro USB car charger should work.

How about the Otterbox Defender case? Do you think it will fit on this mount? Can anyone recommend any mounts to use with the Otterbox Defender case?

Anyone figure out how to pivot the head vertically to turn it from a windshield mount into a dash mount? They changed the design and the pivot adjustment knob is gone. I tried brute forcing it a bit but still no luck as i was worry about breaking the damn thing

WOW you got rough mail carriers. I got it the same way(in an envelope) but my box is pretty much still in pristine condition.

As for the dock, it's great. Works great with the TPU cases and my Barely There case as well. Nice item. Now I just need to figure out where to mount it in my car.

Just swivel the head 180 degrees then tilt to get the angle. I will agree that they should have included the second adjusting knob cause I'd like it to tilt a bit more.

I was thinking about getting one of these for myself and one for the wife. Both would prolly be dash mounts though so I am a bit worried about the lack of swivel options. Anybody have a 2006-2011 Civic? Would love to see some pics of the mount. Or anyone that has pics of how they mounted it would be cool. Lets see 'em!

I have it in an 2009 Civic. I ended up putting the bottom in the storage bin behind the shifter. It protrudes out to the left of the shifter. The issue I had was getting the disk to stick because of the way the floor of the bin was molded. I ended up using a little black duck tape to tape the bottom to the floor of the storage bin and used some double sided mounting tape on the bottom of the igrip tray since it leans on the edge of the storage bin.

I know it sounds weird but it looks great and the duck tape is hidden in the bin. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll posts some pics.

FYI, I tried this dock in the local Sprint store and it would not work with the Sprint Body Glove case. It was close, VERY close, but it was just a tiny bit too tight and it ended up breaking the charging port off the dock. Thankfully it wasn't my dock, it was the one I was going to buy if it worked with the case, lol.

This dock is awesome, been using it for a bit. My only complaint is that audio is way too low to be useable. Gotta get an aux cable or bluetooth in the car =/

Do you think its possible to mount to the left or right of the steering wheel as I show in the pictures? I like the heads up display on the Civic and would love to keep my navigation in that area too. And I think if I could put it in mounting location #1 I could hit the touch screen with ease while never letting go of the steering wheel. But I can live with #2 mount on the small piece of glass or somewhere to the right of the speedometer but not sure how friendly that surface is for a suction cup. I am thinking based on others reviews the limited movement of the arm would be an issue too. I would be interested in seeing pics of your mounting location too. Thanks for your feedback!

I was thinking this would be an issue especially since the speaker will be facing away and not sure how covered it would while in the docking unit.

I was thinking about getting one of those additional speakers you plug into you headphone jack but that may not be feasible for phone calls. I am going to check around for a solution on this one.
