Does anyone know where I can get a battery cover with a different bezel color? The one that it comes with is red and I've seen others with a gold bezel, but I recall seeing one at some point on another forum with a bezel that was blue. I can't seen to find that again though. Anyone have any idea?

The gold one is a gsm version in the UK. Haven't seen another color beside that.

An MHL (mobile high-definition link) to HDMI adapter allows you connect your phone to MHL compatible HDTV's.
The HTC OEM MHL to HDMI adapter part number is 73H00394-00M
It's available from a number or vendors, here's one:
OEM HTC MHL-HDMI Adapter $32.22, fulfilled by amazon.com, Prime eligible or free super saver shipping
You don't need to buy the HTC branded adapter. There are plenty of MHL to HDMI adapters available out there from any number of manufacturers. Jargin posted another one above.

I must have this... ClamBook Android and iPhone Laptop Dock
Looking good, but it's going to be another pricey purchase.... I want to know is there something similar that can runs on PC.
This is the case I ordered yesterday. HTC Evo 3D Kraken AMS Case - HTC Evo 3D - HTC - Case
I know it is pricey, but I had a trident case on my droid 3, and I LOVED it. The feel is awesome, it snapped on perfectly, and it protected it greatly. They have four styles for the Evo, from $14.95-49.95 and also for fathers day on the main screen of their site there is a code for 20% off which is cool. I would say the trident case is a close second in protection besides the otterbox, which only comes in black -.-

I read online that it might be priced between $150 and $199, but there's no official pricing out yet.

Anyone have anything good to say about the extended battery from cowboom?
I bought this from the ebay buyer. I don't even have the phone yet, but since the price is so much cheaper than any other place I figure I would get it before I get the phone.
It's one of the nicest car mounts I had. Very good quality. One issue I have is I haven't figure out how to mount it on top of the dashboard.
The angle will work fine if mounted on the windshield. But not if mounted on a flat surface like a car dashboard.

I'm thinking of getting that car mount to replace the generic one I have now, but is it fully articulate? On the one I have now, the grip for the phone is in a ball socket so I can rotate it 360 degrees as well as up, down, and side to side. I can't tell if the HTC one is that movable from the pictures.

There are:
4 OEM housing/frame colors
6 OEM back cover color combinations
Here is a list with pics
There is also 1 Sprint dock, and 2 off brand.
All back covers and docks can be had on Ebay, cheap. Housings are expensive, troublesome and difficult for anything other than black.
I have a purple back cover, 1900mah Anker battery, and Sprint dock on the way.

Is there anyway to get them beside the black one on amazon?

After sticking this thing to your windshield, you can spin the phone approx 180 degrees. If you would prefer pictures, please let me know exactly what you would like to see.

Most of this stuff all comes from China. Often from the same manufacturers of other stuff. I have had MUCH better luck with $1 screen protectors than I did with my $20 Zagg guard (which I absolutely despised!).
Just have to know what you are buying.

Well I just got in my HTC car mount from ebay, well worth the 12 bucks. It fits the phone perfectly. The only problem I have is I thought the phone would automatically put it in car mode which it hasn't, also I have a USB hook up to my car and I can't figure out how to hook it up through my car stereo. Does anyone know how to do it, on my Optimus Slider all I had to do was plug it in then it would ask me if I want to mount it but with the EVO I can't figure out how to do it.
Try going to Settings -> Connect to PC -> Default connection type and choose 'Disk drive.' If that doesn't work, try 'Media sync.' Make sure Ask me is unchecked.
I bought this Case-Mate Tough case from AMZ and it is as advertised: Amazon.com: Case-Mate Tough Case for HTC EVO 3D - 1 Pack - Case - Retail Packaging - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories
A solid balance of "barely there" and "max protection". Includes a silicon skin that goes on first, followed by a hard shell to protect the back, sides and corners.
It also provides a nice lip on the front that allows you to place the phone face down without the screen contacting the surface.
The back cover includes a slightly raised area to protect the camera lenses/LED.
The cutouts for the inputs are perfectly placed and there is a nice covering for the camera button.
Overall a great case. Not bulky, but you still feel like the phone is well protected.

Amazon.com: Anker 1900mAh Li-ion Battery for HTC Sensation, Sensation XE, EVO 3D, Mytouch 4G Slide + Free Anker Multi-purpose USB Travel Charger: Cell Phones & Accessories
1900 mAH battery that is the same size as the stock battery, I am skeptical about the capacity but you can find numerous great reviews. If the capactiy is true then it should be at least a 10% increase in battery life over stock and the charger it comes with will allow you to use the stock battery as a backup and keep it charged without having to put it in the phone.
On a side note, the charger this battery comes with has a micro USB input. According to reviews you can charge the backup battery by plugging a car charger into that micro usb input which is pretty sweet cause you then can just keep your backup battery in your car where you need it
21$ with free shipping, im giving it a try..
