Why No Kickstand??

With a dock coming out, do you really need a kickstand? I can watch movies with the EVO in its docking station. Kill 2 birds with one stone if you ask me.

Of course. I don't want to carry a dock around with me everywhere. The kickstand stays with the phone.
 
Yeah, the dock is a little pricey. Not that the official HTC case isn't also stupid expensive. I'd get one of those business card holders before I'd get either of those two things.

Wonder if the kickstand case will fit in the dock. I travel a lot and my dock would travel with me just like the holder/charger for my electric toothbrush.

You act like you would carry a dock around in your hand all day. I don't carry my chargers in my hand when I travel. They go in my hand carried bag I take on the plane with me.

Of course not, but you have to admit that having a kickstand on the phone at all times is way different than planning ahead and always carrying a dock with you at any possible time you may happen to flip out a kickstand. They're different, and the kickstand is WAY more convenient.

Planning ahead for what? I'm not watching movies at work. Only time I use the kickstand is to watch TV shows at home via a website. It not like you are going to watch a movie in the airport and the kickstand is going to help keep the phone positioned in your lap. The kickstand needs a soild surface and a dock doesn't. Hell, you could put the dock in your lap and watch a movie off the 3D. I can put the dock onto my hotel bed and watch a movie and not have to worry about the phone falling over due to a cord being attached to a case with a kickstand. The pros of a dock outweigh a kickstand case, especially while traveling.
 
Yo fellas........lets take it down just a notch. We're here to discuss the kickstand. Whatever floats your boat. I like all the options to weigh out.

Some people like different things. There's no wrong answer here. Just our OWN preference.

Thanks for the links and thoughts. Keep them coming while keeping it respectable :)
