Hello everyone. In the next few days we will post the details here in this forum, on this Android site and our iBOLT website about our new forthcoming car-dock called "xProDock" that is designed for HTC phones and the DNA in particular. It features pass-through charging and also the activation of the car-mode. Based on a lot of feedback in forums we have also designed this new Dock so it works with thicker cases type Otterbox Defender, Ballistic etc. The insertion and removal is also a super convenient with 1-hand operation. The steel enforced microUSB for charing is on the side and manually inserted, this to be compatible with all cases. The retail price will be $39.95 and it will be exclusively available through Android Central initially.
As with all our other car-docks we have implemented a 17 mm ball joint on the back so if you prefer NOT to use our standard suction cup you can use any mounting arm or dashboard designed kit for Garmin (same ball joint). We are also offering the AMPS plate as an accessory for $9.95 for those of you that want to connect the dock to a ProClip vent mount, a KUDA leather mount or just about any mounting solution using the industry standard 32 x 38 mm hole pattern.
A lot of people are asking about wireless charging. The answer is that we are working on it and sometime in the next few months our wireless dock is coming. The only reservation is that the Qi technology (what is used in the DNA) itself is very limited in reach. When using no case, or a thin case it works great but the charging is less then optimal when using an Otterbox type case, pretty much what has been reported on the many wireless charging pads. We believe by the 2nd half of 2013 the technology will have improved and a good end user experience can be offered with our forthcoming wireless charging dock even when using a case. Stay tuned...
