The Sapphire, along with the MyTracks app and music output, seems like the ultimate bike computer. I'd like to replace my wired computer, but I can't find a decent mount.
I've seen this:
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&model=HTC+Magic&skuno=81612
but I don't really trust it, plus it provides no water resistance.
I've seen this:
http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045072079076045065081051085/Default.aspx
but it doesn't allow touch through on capacitive devices.
And I've seen this:
http://www.otterbox.com/2600-series/2600-series-pda-case/
Which would still require a bike mounting solution and gets pretty expensive.
Has anyone seen anything better?
i just use a car mount zipped tied to the handle bar cross frame - works a treat. Not water resistant granted!

which car mount?
It was a suction one i had for my HTC HD from Ebay, because it was large it fits snug when i have the magic in it with its silicon case on
Sounds somewhat appealing since I could just put the phone in a ziploc. Is it something like this one?

Those are better, mines zip-tied to the handlebars.
Right. Those both have a handlebar mount thing, but my concern is getting something that the PDA won't come out of.
Is your PDA holder part like those one of the links?
Come to think of it, since you mention zip ties, maybe the Otterbox is best anyway. I could drill a couple of holes, zip tie and then add some silicone caulk to shut out the water.
are those universal bike mounts?

I dont know, I have two and have had them for years, one I bought maybe 12 years ago, the other came attached to a second hand bike I bought.
The HL-500 is very common. As cateye says on their website....
The halogen light that set the standard, the HL-500 is the most copied light in the history of the bicycle industry. CatEye HL-500 was the first bicycle light to use a halogen bulb. The original. A classic. And after more than 15 years, still very popular!
you can probably pick one new for about 10-12 bucks at cheapest. Check second hand bike shops, they are so common you will probably find one there, or even a regular second hand store.

Can anyone recommend a suction cup mount that I can use in the car? It doesn't have to be made specifically for the MyTouch, I just want to be able to see the navigation while i drive instead of constantly looking down at my cup holder.
I'm in the market for one too. I would like to buy it as a christmas gift for my Boss.

i third this!
I am using this one here:
http://www.amazon.com/Holder-T-Mobi..._1_3?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1259151227&sr=8-3
It gets the job done. The suction works just fine, have had no instances of it coming off, and my phone has never come out of the mount. The only thing is, be careful with the ratcheting mechanism... when I first got mine I forced it a bit hard without pressing in the release button, and now it doesn't always stay centered and skips teeth sometimes but still works.
It has an open space in the center of the bottom so you can still connect power/audio. It holds the phone well, has rubbery foam on the side arms to grip the phone. For $10 its worth it, IMHO.
Head over to your local large electronics retailer (Best Buy, Future Shop, Radio Shacketc) and look in the GPS and IPhone sections. I bet you could also order it through Amazon.
I have seen the same mount under multiple brand names there. It is around $30 in Canada, so figure $20sh in the US. The one I have is called the "Grip-iT" by Scosche. Allows the phone to be held vertically and horizontally, has a longer flexible neck to position it and a really strong suction cup mount. Also comes with an adhesive mount disk if you have to mount it that way (some places don't allow windshield mounts).
I use it mostly in a fullsized pickup with a stiff suspension and have had no problems with it coming loose.
The one I have is this one:
http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/344/productID/1593
I would stay away from this one as it is a PITA (at least in my GMC truck, which has fairly standard air vents) to mount:
http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/337/productID/1594
What ever you do don't buy the cheap Bell brand mp3/pda window mount kit. They are usually found in the discount stores like Wal-Mart, K-mart, etc. The clamp swivel is loose, it can't keep the phone up at a pleasant viewing angle. If you hit a good bump the phone shoots out from the poor grip and the clamp closing by the pressure of the spring. Ugh, pure garbage and a great way to get in a car accident.
Off both of what you guys found and use, are they universal?? Meaning as in, can I swap my sapphire with my g1 or other devices. I guess I should just be asking if the width is very adjustable and or can you change the angle from portrait to landscape easily?? Thanks guys. Just doing my research before I ask for one for x-mas
I have been using this one for a few weeks now.. It's actually very sturdy and becuase its made specifically for our phones, it looks sooo much better and very smooth compared to the other universal ones.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170391719566&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
When you order, keep in mind it's coming from china..it took around 3 weeks to receive but well worth the wait.
It's sticks to the windshield like a champ and will not budge unless you use the release tab. Highley recommended for nav pruposes.

There are two versions available from the Verizon store. The one you linked to and one other. They both have one big issue. If you already have a protector for your phone that you like, it will not work unless you take your protector off. The one you linked to has one other issue, it uses double sided tape to mount. The other one I looked at had a suction mount, but as I said, it will not let you put your phone on it unless you remove any protector you are using.
the one linked is the one i'm talking about. i haven't found it on the VZW website anywhere, didn't think to look anywhere else. i don't use a case or anything full time, i ordered an otterbox for when i'm working to wear on my belt, but when i'm not i just throw the phone in my pocket and run. i wish seidio came out with a car mount like this that worked with one of their cases, that would be epic. i'm sure with a dremel tool you could make it work if you were so inclined.
I have this one
I bought this with my incredible when I first got it. before 30 days was up the clip broke. I took it back and got it replaced. Then a couple of weeks later the new one broke in a different place. I hadn't even taken the new one off the car mount and worn it on my belt. I ended up cutting off the clip and gluing the clip to the mount so that it became a car mount only.

where did it break?
i'm wondering if there's a way i can use another company's clip and case without having to remove it. thinking of getting the seidio innocase and clip or something like that, maybe just cut the little tab off of the car mount clip and using that on whatever one i end up getting.
I don't want or use the belt clip, just adds another point of movement to the system. There's no happy medium with adjustments, you either get it where you want it and tighten it down to no flexibility, or it is way too loose. Due to the way the suction cup is engineered, the act of placing the phone or removing it from the clip torques the suction, causing it to fall off all the time. Was not at all impressed.
I have this mount I just pictured. I find it reliable. I do not use the belt clip.. I always leave that on the mount.
I have never used phone cases on any of my cell phones for 12 yrs.. I only have a screen protector..
Dinc goes in my phone pocket. My designated pocket only for my phone.. Not change or car keys..
Carefull
I have one of these.. or I should say I've had 2 of these. First one broke after about 8 seconds of being up and I tried to rotate the phone, and the hing that holds the clip on snapped.
Took it back to Verizon they swapped it out... had the second one a month or so and went to remove the phone and clip from the stand... and the plastic washer that holds the clip to the mount broke.... I now have it zip tied and it works great.
I was not rough with it, its just very fragile. Otherwise a good mount.
I've had 2 and the first one broke within a week. The clip that hooks into the mount broke and wouldn't mount. The second one I had for a few days before it broke. The one the hinge went. I didn't bother trying to replace it again. They did swap it out, but if two break that quickly, I figure I'll just keep having the same problems.....
Add me to the "it's too darn fragile" camp. I ended up buying a third-party "one size fits all" type... They lie too, but it works. I just have to adjust it so the volume key isn't being squashed. (also, no cut out for camera)
2 broken clips at hinge and counting.
Same here, my clip hinge broke both times. I just have it sitting there in the car driving down the road and the phone just falls off and the hinge is broken. I think the plastic is too thin, should be a metal part, and the spring tension always on it fatigues it. Bad design.
I went to verizon and told them I wanted their generic mount and they handed me this:
http://www.amazon.com/Bracketron-PH...r_1_41?s=STORE&ie=UTF8&qid=1285511830&sr=8-41
The one Verizon actually sells is slightly different as the little bottom nodes that hold the phone phone sits on can be bent in and thus you can move the phone around. I will have to take a picture of mine. Anyways even with a case it fits perfectly and its only like $20 and if you have the corporate discount which gets you 25% off it runs about $16.70 total after taxes which is what I bought it for.

So which one would you recommend? I plan on doing a lot of driving up and down I-95 to visit friends in Maine/NH/PA/MD/VA and would love having Google's "Navigator" mounted on my windshield instead of having it sitting in a cup holder (like I do now). I'll be careful with any mount I get, but those universal mounts are just too bulky and a lot of them mess with the volume controls or doesn't leave me a space to plug the phone into my lighter outlet (or have weird mounting points, like in one of the air vents).

I really recommend the Verizon one made for the incredible. all buttons and ports are accessible on the incredible
Like I said, I leave the belt clip mounted at all times, and the only protection I use for my phone is my special pocket and a screen protector.

I just bought it on a whim today and it is definitely great. Way better than the staples generic one that broke in the first 2 weeks
Wife and I both have one. Both broke right away. Replacements also broke. Always in the same place, the hinge for the clip snaps. The spring is simply way too powerful for the strength of the plastic. On the replacements I just slathered epoxy all over the hinge to make it a permanent mount. Neither one of us were using it for anything other than the car dock, but the thing just breaks like a cheap wine glass.
So in my experience they were 4/4 for breaking within 3 weeks. It's a great dock, but you just have to expect it to break unless you do what I did and glue the living crap out of it.
ive had my verizon mount for about 2 weeks now, my only complaint is that it has a removable belt clip. Ive tried different locations around my windshield and since I play with it so much, the clip has wiggled loose a time or two. other than that, its been better than any mounts ive tried to hack together for it.
TL;DR good mount, bit pricey

Ok I've been looking around for a desktop charger or window mount for our phones and found nothing. But yet the other Galaxy class phones have them. Also.. I think each desktop and window mount is diffrent cause I tried the one for verizons Fascinate and it just didn't fit. So that's kinda dumb not to try to keep the mount specs the same where you'd only need to have 1 desktop charger and 1 window mount type.
Have you seen this stand?
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/SGH-I917ZKAATT-product
yay.. kinda generic thoo nice thing about one where you plug your phone into it is you don't have to worry about the port getting damaged from plugging it in and leaving it lay around. eh maybe they'll make it in time because the ATT store doesn't even carry the captivate one.
i have th Samsung one http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-CS01SBEGXAR . It is just OK.
A better solution is to go to Wal*Mart and in their automotive section is this stand. It works great for only $8.
I bought 2 of these in black:
elago M2 stand and dock from Amazon (link not allowed - sorry) @ $24.99 each
I had to bend the bottom prongs out just a little to handle the BodyGlove hard case, but it sits nicely either portrait or landscape. Granted, they aren't cheap but they are nicely made and generic enough that I could use them with a host of different phones.
Hmmm pretty nice find.
http://elagostore.com/elago-M2-StandDock-For-iPhone-4/M/B002OLM56K.htm
Or another choice...
I just received the Clingo stand for my wife's Focus. I like it even more than the elago stand, and it costs about the same. Go to www dot clingo dot com to see it (their price is full retail - again, I bought it through Amazon for something like $25).
This stand has a 360 degree pivoting head and MAN is the grip on the phone strong. It has a feed hole in the stand for the power/sync cord. Perfect for the nightstand while charging.
-Dave
Hmm I was looking at the clingo but some people didn't give it a good rating and explained about it not really holding their phone too well. I was looking for something portable too like
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00278ZQBQ/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=AZZOQCD4U42P0
or
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003778T8I/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A2D0IBDF2WHYZS
Key chainable one looks nice, and it looks to be a bottle opener too..
I'll probably get 2 of them to try out, because I've been sitting in the coffee shop using my cup to hold my phone up while watching podcasts.. lol
Stay away from the Crabble
The first link - I bought 2 of those a while back, and it SHOULD have been spelled "Crapple". It is nothing more than some stiff cardboard. In a couple of days the stands were virtually unusable and I ended up throwing them out. Seriously, not even a week's use.
The second one below looks interesting as a mobile stand. Still, I am really digging the Clingo stand so far, enough so that I am ordering the mobile version (they have one on the site which clings to a laptop while holding a phone). Granted, I have no long term data on how well this will stick, but it seems to be working great so far.

I found a product called Hedgie:

But $17 for a piece of Velcro seems exaggerated. Anyone know of a better solution?
Get the cheapest TPU case you can buy and attach adessive velcro on the back and on the fridge. Easy as pie.
Or... you can buy a sheet of magnet plastic and glue it to the case and then you don't have to glue anything to your fridge.
I agree with the above post. I always buy a few tpu cases to use for special projects around the house. One word of advice though... Before you adhere a magnet to the Nexus 7 make sure you know where the auto off-on feature is located. If you accidentally glue a magnet under it it will effect you nexus 7 turning on and off.

If you have an old 20GB hard drive lying around, the magnets in the old 3.5" drives are really strong.
You might want to try what I did with my phone, to attach it to the bottom of my monitor when I'm at my desk.
Take the magnet and the piece of metal that it's attached to and bluetack this to your fridge. Then cut the bottom flat piece out of a tin can and bluetack this to the inside of the Nexus's back cover (I am guessing that there is a suitable flat area).
If you want it attached for the long term than use something else more permanent than bluetack on the fridge.
OP - I am also looking to wall-mount my Nexus 7.
So far, the best options I have seen are:
1) TPU Case with PadTab (Link to PadTab HERE)
2) Wall-Mounted Tablet Dock (link HERE).
Did you already decide how to mount your N7?
Kind of a dead thread, but if anyone else is looking for a wall mounting idea, I'm looking at a couple of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z88WSK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29AY3J0MGBUKJ

I got 2 sets of these when they first came out on some special intro deal and paid $20 delivered. For what they are, they work well enough. Just realize that is simply a pair of cheap plastic holders you glue to whatever surface you want. You only get 1 orientation and size depending on placement. Installing them level and at the correct width is up to the installer
The pad tab from the previous post to your stuck on a TPU case would give more options albeit at about twice the cost, 15 vs 20 + 8 (or more) for TPU case.

lmao. I use HDD magnets too. Guys are crazy strong and thin = perfect. I used 2 for a LCD drawing note clip board thing and it almost pulls the fridge over (not quite but you know what I mean).
For the Nexus, I would use 1. Glue it to a TPU case and done.
This probably the one you are looking for, it's a specific kitchen mount for Nexus 7, i got it on Independence Day, it's doing 20% discount promo again now, good time to get one.

It's good but could be better. The sticker on it sucks for the windshield in hot weather. I replaced it with 3m tape.

Would this work well for someone who is looking for a mount to use in rental cars? Not seeing how reusable the adhesive pad is anywhere or if it's going to leave marks that I'll get charged for.

I've been using this $10 mount for a bit over 2 years now, and it has never fallen off my dashboard. If anything, it's hard to pull it off the dash at times if I want to move it somewhere works great, cheap, zero complaints.

The power suction enables you to mount on to almost any surface such as dashboards, metal, glass, plastic and even drywall Silicon lined grid keeps your phone and other devices safe and secure.
A suction attachment seems much more durable than adhesive. temperature won't matter and it can be adjusted as it isn't permanent. An essential feature.

This new mount from Spigen is the best car mount I've ever seen. Mount it right behind the steering wheel and you have a heads up display just below the windshield, at least on the Mazda 3. Perfect.

I like this, nice simple, compact design. Easy to install my phone onto it too.
hmmmm I might have to grab one of these, I like the compact design so you cant really tell its there when your phone is not in it
Pro-Clip rules. No Sticky tape. And I prefer portrait mount for Nav. I want to see more of what's ahead than what I'm passing.
Nice but doesn't have Qi support for me... I use my phone a lot in the truck so I have been looking for less hassle with cords for the power... got the bluetooth audio for the nav & music but it needs a power source to run all day.
Amazon sell it for #16.99

my favourite mount is the magnetic CD slot mount, like this one, they are amazing.

NICE ONE ~ Like the design. I guess I'll have to ask my dad to buy one of this. He is still using a navigator when driving.
