Well I'm glad you found something that'll work, let us know how it works out for you!

I bought this one and it works really well and looks a lot better than the one you linked in my opinion, i tried it on my dash, and it lets me charge it while playing the music in my car.

Agreed. Your looks better.

Yeah... I didn't want to say that, but I wish I would've found yours sooner!

Slick but bulky... maybe as a secondary one. My plan is get the simplest one (usb to 3.5), get a set of decent headphones (Grado SR 60's... like $60) and TAPE them together with electrical tape. I have a long history of losing little adapter bits, so this is as close as I'm going to get to a built in 3.5 headphone jack and no recurring adapter replacement fees.

I'm honestly just thinking about buying two of these adapters. I plan to see if I can cut off the end of the female end of the adapter (3.5mm in) and the male end of my headphones (3.5mm out) to see if I can connect the two of them together with the internal wires. The only thing I've done this with is XLR cables so I'll be interested to see what happens.

i agree...i got this one [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-3-5mm-Adapter-Cingular-Sprint/dp/B000WZCCT0/ref=pd_sbs_a_5[/ame]
for headphones, the other one i got was to be able to charge and play music in my car.

That looks like the same one (or similar) that they sell in the Android Store here. I think it's like five bucks. I wonder how much the T-Mobile store will try to fetch for these when I get my phone?

Nice... do you know if sound quality improves with the direct solder? I know with RC car batteries and motors, direct solder improves conductivity and power transfer, but I have no experience hacking audio gear.

It all depends on the quality of solder obviously, but through my experience the quality has not gotten better or worse. I'll let you know when I play with it a bit.
