Seems quite protected but my concern is what about the volume button? Considering that it is enclosed in a shell, what about the sound quality?
But have to say it definitely look solid for someone who rides motorcycle and have to go through the rain with the phone. I have encountered many unpleasant experience after rain. Phone will detect that there's a headphone connected and speaker volume sounds very cracking and raspy.
I'm also looking for a cover with proper protection for usb port. Nillkin transparent covet have this for some models (i.e. Redmi Note 4) but not for Mi 6... If someone find nice thin cover with plug for usb please let us know
LOVE MEI does a good one.
You can separately but usb type c dirt/dust plugs for cheap. But having it as a part of case is more convenient so I'll update my comment to add link to the case I'm using that has usb dirt plug.

Hey, I wanna get this case, it's cheap, classy, and branded, just wanna know if anyone has it and if the USB port is accessible while the phone is in the case so I can still use my headphones.

Yes, USB port is accessible.
yes, but only if you have the phone in a certain way, the screen must be toward the belt clip part, if the screen is toward the flap the port is obstructed
awesome! i called htc, verizon, and ut starcomm and nobody seemed to know!
they're useless w/ practical knowledge.
What do you guys think is the best car kit for the HD2.
Looking for the best quality one with a charger and the option to rotate the hd2 to be vertical or horizontal which keeps sucked to whatever I suck it too.
Might want to search. there are quite a few threads about car kits or car holders.
personally i use a brodit which has a nice fit.
best i dont know but happy with mine
After searching for hours I came across a device called the dash genie which I think is brilliant! I currently use it in my ford fiesta and it sticks to the dash no matter what the surface and it looks nice with my HD2
If you have a modern ford fiesta you will know that the dash is spongy, but this cradle sticks with no problem. You can easily remove the cradle when your not using it and no marks are left.
You can also use other devices such as ipods so your not restricted...a one for all solution I personally recommend.
im intreagued as to how the dash genie works, there doesnt seem much to hold the device in place if you hit a bump or something.
just watchd a video of it, looks good might have to get one myself
has anyone tried this one?

I was the same before I purchased the dash genie, but trust me It holds the phone in place. I have to drive down a dirt track road every morning from my house and the road is full of pot holes. The poor car is boucing allover but the phone stays nice and snug
If you look at the dash genie you will see a red circle which is a sticky material, once the phone is placed on this it sticks like glue but does not leave any residue behind.

That looks pretty smart, depends where your cigarette lighter/power outlet is in the car though - Wouldn't be good for mine as this is located next to the gear stick on the central console.
What I'm using is the Dash Genie then a small device that plugs into the cigarette/power outlet which changes it into a usb power socket where I just plug the power cable in which you get with the phone.
I also have a 3.5mm jack cable that plugs into the aux socket on my head unit so calls, copilot and music come through the car speakers.
Dash Genie Link
I can finally post links...
Here is the link where you can buy the Dash Genie for £14.99

When using the dash genie is the earphone jack covered at the bottom of the device?

Not with the HD2 as the jack is at the top of the device. Not sure about other phones...

The earphone jack is on the BOTTOM of an HD2.
If you're looking for a solidly built holder that is well worth the additional money, then i'd suggest getting a Brodit version - Kit comes in 2 parts, a mount adapter specific to your car, and a holder for the phone... Adapter allows you to rotate the device for Landscape/Portrait usage, and allows access to the Headphone socket
The Brodit HD2 Active Adapter with a Cigarette adapter is a shade over £30... But as I said, well worth the money.
The HTC CU S400 car kit is AWESOME. Very high build quality and looks great. Not as good as the earlier prototype though but... The only downside is price, but then your HD2 is not exactly cheap either

Sorry I stand to be corrected....I meant the HTC HD/Blackstone
The best car kit I tested so far is the standard Ford Focus Sony System bluetooth.
I simply connected it to the car and boom! Works perfectly.
Moreover I can charge the phone via USB while listening to the music I got in the storage card.
Simply perfect!
I'm considering getting this one and using the cradle part to replace the factory fitted Nokia cradle in the arm-rest of my Audi:

I bought this one: Tetrax Xway Universal Neodymium Car Holder
Using it with two devices, it's great! Only a magnet that holds the device firmly.
Here's a link to their website: http://www.tetrax.us/
I have a silicon case, made a small hole in it, glued the small metal knob on my device.
The HD2 still lays flat on the table with the knob and is firmly attached in my car without turning/spinning around (That is why I took the holder with the large X)

Thanks Bright.Light
Just ordered one myself of Ebay worldwide. It seems to be the best system I have seen so far. Here is a YouTube video of one in use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkLbABhSWvw&feature=related

Nice video!
The only negative of this product is the small part which holds onto the fan blade. When it gets warm or cold it gets softer/harder so it won't hold as tight as usual. This means that pulling the device off means you're pulling the blade off too.
So, it would be best when the clip is somewhat larger.
I've been searching since November for a 3.5mm Aux cable to plug my Focus into my car stereo. The problem I've run into with a bunch of them, is with the hole in the top of the case I have. I have the red (pinkish?) and black CaseMate case from the AT&T store and it seems to be blocking all of the cables I have from making an ideal and secure connection. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with one and where I could get it.
I'm assuming the head (not the pin) of the cable just needs to be a little smaller to fit into the cutout of the case. Thanks in advance!
-R
Have you tried one of the retractable cords from Monoprice? The ends on those seem fairly small.
Figured it out
My case wasn't lined up correctly with the headphone jack. After a little wiggling, the holes line up a little better and any cable or headphone designed to fit into a recessed headphone jack work. Thanks
That's good to hear, I was considering one of the casemate cases and not being able to use the headphone jack would have been a deal breaker.
I bought a Diztronic case from Amazon. I like it just fine but I like to connect my phone to the car with a 3.5mm cable to listen to music. The problem is the base of my 3.5mm cable is to big to fit inside the Diztronic case cutout.
Was wondering if anyone out there had a 3.5mm cable with a very slim base?
I have the exact same problem with my headphone and the diztronic case. Might just be because of the design of the G2. I had the cruzerlite case (returned it) and it blocked the headphone plug even more. The diztronic case blocks less but my scl-4 still won't fit.
I've noticed this too, any headphone cords that have a step down or tapered casing around the jack will work fine. I just ordered one of these and a replacement cord for my car too. I generally wouldn't spend this much on silly cords but I wanted ones that would last instead of opting for ebay junk.

funny I have the diz case too, didnt notice till this post..lol....
I wonder if we can sand or xacto blade a lil out of the hole area...or dremel.. yeahhh...good excuse to pull that out.. hmmmm...
luckily this is a 9 dollar case... might have to try something this weekend...
Take a drill bit to the case. Problem fixed lol

I would highly suggest against modifying the case, the case is already very thin around the top of the headphone jack. Buying a new cord is always cheaper than a new case still.

Let us know if it works.
Anything which has a smaller casing should work perfectly, just pay attention to what the cord you are buying looks like. If it steps down, it'll work perfectly. I just opted for some higher quality and higher rated items since I've dealt with too many broken/defective cords.

Just finally got both in the mail, pretty decent quality and should last good. Both fit perfectly fine.
What I've actually done in the past is just take my 3.5mm jack and use a knife or scissors to just cut the extra plastic off around the tip. Almost like you are making a spear tip on a stick. Works well, quick, and free.
Hey everyone, I have just seen these usb adaptors that clip into your usb port. Then magnetically connect to a USB cable for data/charging. Anyone using one? Would you recommend?
Here is an example
WSKEN XCable Magnetic USB Cable
https://www.amazon.co.uk/WSKEN-XCable-Performance-Compatible-Smartphones-Silver/dp/B00XJQHBOA
Interesting. I didn't know those were available. I wonder how well they'd work with the M8...
Looks like its a standard friction fit in the USB port, but you leave it inserted all the time. The magnet is only used to connect the cable to the port adapter.
The perk of wireless charging because it doesn't wear out your port, but it should be a lot more efficient and run a lot cooler than using a wireless charging adapter.
I may have to order a few. I wonder if it will play nice with quickcharge2.0... hmm...
Hi, yes, interesting. I can see a big advantage from not pluging/unpluging.
But from the photo it looks like the flat magnetic part will cover the headphone socket.
Anyone tried this (or similar) yet?

I don';t think it will because if you look at the picture you can see the "plug" you put in your phone is the same width as the other end of the cable, I just compared that to a USB cable I have here, seems to be enough room, but not for big 3,5mm plugs I think, I think it would leave like 2mm space
Hi, had a quick look on Amazon and they have similar ones with the plug in part that looks smaller. only thing is some reviews say they fall out too easily. Also needs to be checked with clearance for your own case (if you use one).
If I see one in a shop I would like to give it a try though.
It has really bad reviews. I am looking for a good replacement cable. Don't know why HTC doesn't sell them for the M8 or M9. I have tried different brands Anker and they are junk. Can't find a good cable that doesn't wear out. Any advice would be great.

If I just touch the nub, that's inserted in the phone, to the end of the cable, it hops on perfectly connected and charging. One of the best (and fewest) things I ever ordered from China. I hate waiting for non-domestic orders, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. Magnetic usb charging is now my favorite new unnecessary luxury in my gadget life.

Is the cable part reversible? It looks like it would be, but there is no info in the listing to indicate definitively if the mag part has to be in a specific orientation.

Yes it is. You can flip the magnet end either way (upside down/right side up) and it will grab and hold pretty firm. Notice it has an even numbered amount of pins (10 - two rows of 5) this is key to a "flip-able" attachment.
Hi,
Well, nearly 8 weeks later and my magnetic cables just arrived. From China to Dubai with Christmas and New Year in between so...
The good news is they are excellent. Very tight to get in the usb port (which is good), very small and fits with my phone cases. As said above, its reversible.
Bought from tim-hpx on ebay.
