Truly uniquexmas gift. Had to get it for the tech-dad. Know he has never seen anything like this.

Worth the purchase

User: DeVilme Jeannine, Nov 4, 2010

The battery life is longer than the battery that comes with the Evo. Im glad I purchased it.

Great Idea..Always loved phone cradles

User: Mark Milmine, Nov 11, 2010

Pros: allows two batteries to be charged at same time
Cons: doesnt allow you to keep the case on the phone while it charges

I love this cradle, but the only thing i would have wanted is for it to fit my phone with the case still on it. i have to keep unsnapping the hard shell case if i want to put it in the cradle. otherwise its a great investment especially if you have two batteries because it allows them both to charge at same time

OK..but

User: Robert Zeltner, Nov 11, 2010

Pros: Good Viewing Angle
Cons: Doesnt do a good job charging 3500 mAh battery

I like the convenience of this combination but the charging of the spare battery doesnt seem to be too good when it comes to delivering a charge to the Innocell 3500 mAh battery -- the battery doesnt seem to "snap" into the charging slot and I dont feel that it is pushing up against the charging contacts with enough force to cause a charge. Also there doesnt appear to be a charging light to indicate that the battery is either charging or fully charged as does HTCs individual charger.

The Evo Cradle w/ Spare Battery Slot

Pros: You can charge phone and extra battery at the same time.
Cons: But you have to plug one into the computer and the other cord into the wall.

I thought that when you plug into the wall that it would charge both the phone and the spare battery at the same time. At night like to put my phone on charge so it would have been nice to have them both charging at the same time and the same place (by my bed side) not at the computer where isnt near my bed.

wrong connector type on power supply.

User: Ken Romaine, Nov 12, 2010

Should have HTC EVO connector on power supply. Also can not use cart. with soft cover on HTC EVO phone, must remove cover on phone to place on cart.

Not a fan..

User: J H, Aug 23, 2010

Pros: Stand up charger base
Cons: Hard to use

Im not a huge fan of this product. Having switched from the Palm Pre with its magnetic charging base to this was a bit of a shock. I understand that the phone charger needs to physically insert into the phone, but without any guide rails to position it exactly the operation of placing it onto the charger isnt pretty, and every time, it feels like the charging plug is going to snap off

I use one on my desk and one on my nightstand and was so accustomed to simply setting the Pre down on the base with one hand--this is definitely a two-hand, lights on operation. It just seems to me that a desktop charger should not need to be lifted off the desk in order to insert the charging plug into the phone.

Great price- poor quality

User: John Zullo, Sep 23, 2011

The mini-USB port on the rear of the unit collapsed into the box when the cable was plugged into it. I had to open the box, re-set the part and re-seal the unit before it would work. The cradle also does not positively mate with the HTC EVO without pushing down far more than I am comfortable. The spare battery fits in so loosely, it does not fully charge all the time. Overall quality is poor.

Dont but it !

User: Jose De Leon, May 24, 2011

Bad product,bad quality,made in china so dont expect a good product. Extra battery charger it dosent work.Dont waste your money.

doesnt charge phone at same time as battery

User: david drake, Jan 19, 2011

i was surprised this wouldnt charge the phone at the same time as it charges the battery - you have to plug the cord into your computer to charge the phone - go figure!

Poor design

User: Alan Noltensmeyer, Dec 2, 2010

Pros: It will charge the phone.
Cons: Phone feels loose while in the cradle. Spare battery charger doesnt work as designed.

I would not recommend this cradle.

The phone feels loose in the cradle. The phone will wobble in the cradle when you touch it to access your applications.

The spare battery charger socket is designed too big. The battery doesnt push against the charging pins hard enough to make a good connection with either the OEM battery or the Seidio 3500mAh battery. To resolve the problem, I had to fold a small piece of paper and wedge it between the battery and side of the spare battery slot.

As others have said, you have to remove any phone protector covers before the phone will fit in the cradle. The Seidio 3500mAh battery cover will fit in the cradle without a problem.
