no! this is the problem! there's no kind of sliding plastic! there are only one port, the serial one!!!
i think that exist two tipe of craddle: one with 3 port and a sliding cover for switching from seral to usb and another one with usb only!
the bad thing is that this seller have no idea of what i'm talking about... so i have to find a picture of the craddle with sliding cover to show him the difference with that he has sent to me

If it doesn't have a USB Female Type B port on the back



Then it is a hp 600 Series Rs232 cradle, not a 700 series USB cradle. The seller has mistaken the hp Rs232 port for USB (happens a lot).

Definitely it is the old version for J680 series.
Please find below 2 pictures of the back of the "new" J720 series craddle. First the USB socket view (serial socket covered by the slider)
