I've read the thread over on the Euro HD2 part of the site, but there's little said about car & bike mounts that fit the TMOUSA HD2's. I'm especially interested in mounts that can charge while using GPS/Sat Nav (evidently some charges don't provide enough output). Any recommendations?

Well it's not any use for bikes, but brodit makes the best car mounts I've ever used, and you can order them with or without a power connection built-in. The one I used with my wizard charged it even faster than a wall charger. They also will let you flip the phone from portrait to landscape (and back) as needed.

sirphunkee - thanks for the info on the Brodit adapters. I was looking at both the Brodit adapters and the Herbert Richter mounts (not a fan of the vent mounts) from http://www.pdahut.com/store/home.php?cat=2717 . The one nice thing I can see from their stuff is that you could have a Herbert Richter car mount and bike mount and use the same Brodit adapter for both. Anyone using any others with success?

Actually Brodit/ProClip does make a mount for bikes... Brodit Bike Mount. I don't own the bike mount myself but I can definitely vouch for their car mounts, I've used them for my last two devices and now presently for my HD2.
Nice! I just ordered my ProClip Auto Mount for the HD2 (USA). This is more money than I wanted to spend, but it looks like a great solution and I really like where it will mount to my dash.
Again, Great forums, and great site.
Two thumbs up for ProClip
I don't want to sound like an advertisement, but wow, the ProClip is a spectacular car mounting system. Good quality mount, that works very well. It was more money than I wanted to part with, but I am satisfied.
I didn't think about the fact that I will have to ditch the rubber glove the HD2 comes with. I suppose I better invest in a clear shield solution and a belt clip case like the RIMs used to come in.

If you're referring to using a clear shield while it's in the proclip car mount then it wont work. The clear shield will make it to big and not fit properly in the mount...I tried the same thing a couple devices ago.
try www.bracketron.com. They have just about everything I could think of, and decent prices. I love my universal usb charger.
Also, if you wish to get the bike mount, looks like all of the brackets, waterproof cases, etc have universal slots on the back to fit any type of mount.

Good tip. Darn! Well I guess I will have to just use it bare. I really wish the HD2 had a finish like the original HTC Dash for T-Mobile. It was a slight rubbery texture that didn't slide at all. These slick finishes lead to drops and falls.
Bicycle Mount
I just bought this from Amazon and used it today. Did 15 miles and it was awesome. I use a GPS app and listen to my music via bluetooth headphones and it was nice not to have to put my phone in my pouch.

Here's an interesting and inexepnsive alternative that I just ordered. Will let you know how it is when I receive it.
The best car mount?
Anybody use this from Brodit? I am just about to buy one...
http://www.proclipusa.com/applicati...s/513086.aspx&processor=page&categoryid=17987
I have used Brodit stuff in the past and I am crazy about their products. Every now and then they have one that does not fit exactly properly, however I believe this one should work well - for the US T-Moboe version.... anybody have this?

On the first page of this thread there are many posts of users (including myself) who've made this purchase and love it. You can't go wrong with this mount, the best I've used to date.
is there a way i can use the pro clip and still maintain use of the micro usb slot? I have a carputer and i tether the hd2 to my PC, so I would need to be able to access the micro USB port to connect a usb cable to the pc

Yes, the usb slot is always accessable with pro clip mounts. The need to be able to charge the device while in the mount is crucial.
Actually, the proclips are available with and without a built-in charger...so if you want to keep the port free, just be sure to order the one that doesn't have the charger cord/plug attached.
Do anyone knows of a wall mount for the Nook Color?
I´m thinking about replacing my Zenithink ZT-180 in the kitchen with my Nook Color (I like to have a tablet for reading recipes and listening to streamed music from my NAS) and would like a wall mount with the same kind of clasps the ordinary cases use for easy removal.
I guess i could buy a case and remove the clasps but ideally I would like a backplate to mount to the wall.
Anyone have a suggestion?
I HAVE already tried velco, a plate hanger and a small shelf...
You could probably make something work out of a cheap headrest mount that you can get from eBay.

I would get the B&N case like a "lautner" & mount it on the wall with the flap on the bottom. Then you could open it & let the flap hang down or close it & the magnetic flap will keep it closed.
Cheers,
kev

How come you didn't like the wall hanger? It seems like it would work good and it's what I was thinking.
Third party companies make the hard-plastic snap to cases (I've seen them for the nook I think on Amazon, but can't find them at the moment) that you could easily just mount the backplate and not use the front plate. I know they're not that common, especially for the nook, but would be pretty cool.
I wish I could provide a link for you. I'll look around and make sure I post a link if I find it again!
Has anyone found a car mount specifically for a Dell Streak 7?
Sure, I know that the Arkon mount works. Yes, I know Ram Mount makes a universal one. But I want one that is made for the Streak 7, much like the one that Dell made for the Streak 5.
<I'd post a link to the Streak 5 mount, but the forum won't let me.>
Anyone know of such a thing?
I just ordered one of these.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270702168832
Thanks, but I think that is the Arkon mount.
I ordered a cheap ebay mount, and a cheap ebay hard case/cover. I'm going to cut the "fingers" off the mount and put velcro on it. Then put velcro on the cheap case and I should have a decent looking mount that's easy to put the streak in and out.
If it works, I'll post some pics.

I was wondering if i made a custom mount for my tab that uses 4 neodymium magnets if it would mess up any of the internals of the device? Please don't recommend me a window mount. If you know of any low profile mounts (1/2" - 1/4" thick) tell me which one that is.
@padholdr on twitter has some expensive mounts but they look pretty legit, sturdy, and designed really well for most cars. good luck.
Thank you for the response. Does anyone else have an answer. Those mounts are nice, just not what I'm looking for.
Just got a notice from Google Offers about a $10 ($15 w/ shipping) CD slot car mount. The video from their site makes it look like it should fit the Note 2, but has anyone else tried this mount and can comment on it?
