Desk Top Stand

Got this little desk top stand from Amazon UK £8.49
I wanted a stand and came across this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003HJI1Q6/ref=oss_product
as you can see from the pics it does look to small but it does its job very well the streak does not slip at all in landscape or portrait and if the front gets dirty just wash with a little clean water and its as good as new.
It does not feel sticky to the touch and leaves no marks on the back of the streak, it has a card reader on one side and 2 usb on the other and can be plugged into mains as well so you can leave that plugged in and just connect streak to it for charging
I would give it 9 out of 10 if it was a tad bigger it would get a 10 but for a stand it is great and would recommend it

Although tempting, I think I will go with Dell's overpriced home docking station.
Thanks for the images though, huge help!

Ah most definitely, and with a price tag of £8.49 why not purchase one!
How is the usability of the Streak while it is on the stand? Can you still point around and touch the screen without much give on the stand?
I am assuming the non sticky surface (that the Streak sticks to) is like those 'car mats' they sell at gas station in the States.
.

Yes its very good you can operate it very well on the stand and it does not move, the stivky stuff is not sticky at all so don't know why I keep calling it sticky, its just black rubber and yes just like those mats,i do think the angle of the stand helps as well

Based on this recommendation I bought one from 7Day shop for £7.99 delivered
They also do it in white for £5.99 delivered
It arrived this morning and first off I was disappointed. My conclusion was that the holder pad does not hold the Streak, this is in line with feedback comments I have seen elsewhere. I think this is the same item that Mobile Fun sells as The Genie for £14.99.
However I have completely misunderstood the function. It doesn’t so much hold the Streak, rather it doesn’t let it slip off the holder. A shift in perception is required. It is the difference between non-slip friction and sticky.
I realised this after I sent an email to 7Day requesting a ‘sticky’ replacement pad. At that point I had decided in any event not to send it back for a refund as the built in memory card reader, which reads the micro SD from the Streak, is probably worth the money and the inclusion of a 2 port USB hub makes it even more of a bargain.
When 7Day responds to me I shall apologise for taking up their time. Perhaps if they get some customers based on my feedback that will help compensate for my too hasty complaint.
However a caveat, over time - possibly due to the weight of the Streak - it can sometimes imperceptibly slide down the holder so that it ends up with the base resting on the desk. No big deal but a disaster if the stand is on the edge of a shelf with only thin air to prevent the Streak from hitting the ground.
So the sales description of “Securely holds...” is misleading. Nonetheless as a 3-in-1 accessory it is excellent.

Custom Car Kit

Looks like the custom ones are starting to appear not a bad Price at £15.99
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FLEXIBLE-SUCT...K_AudioTVElectronics_PDAAccessories_PDAMounts
And £13.99 for the Vent kit
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SWIVEL-CAR-AI...K_AudioTVElectronics_PDAAccessories_PDAMounts

Hmm, Pre-order and the pictures are faked (charging lead plugging in the left hand side?). Best wait till after their September due date and check again, it looks like it will be a nice solution if it arrives.

I bought a universal car dock from ebay and whilst the phone fits (kind of) the streak is just so damn heavy it shakes about A LOT. It's usable, but very irritating.
Not sure what these 2 will be like though, but watch out for shaking

saving seller for future use.

Now they are on i am sure their will be more to follow ie China

ah, the chinese. good food, attractive women, cheaply made, cheaply priced inferior products we just cant resist. gotta love em

Yep that is all True and Yep We never Learn and we BUY BUY BUY dont we just love em

Considering the car docking kit from Dell is perfect, I don't see why anyone would consider a third party car station.

Sure... aside from the over-inflated price. I bought mine from a local Wireless Wave here in Toronto and it works just as well for $20 taxes in.

Dell car kit far from perfect
I bought the car kit from Dell, and no matter whether the device is hanging from the windshield or off the dash, the Streak bounces around like mad when I am driving. My car is nowhere NEAR that bad - it is a heavy device and an awkward mount.
I just ordered a GPS t-mount from ProClip that might work well. I will take the sleeve the Streak sits in on the gooseneck and mount that on the ProClip mount, then attach that to the vehicle mount made for my car. That should lock the device down.
It's an expensive solution, but I spend about an hour each way commuting daily, so it is really a necessity for me. My mount should be here on Wednesday, and if anyone is interested I will write it up and post a picture or two if it works.

pictures would be awesome.
Do you see anyway to have the adapter attached (jerry-rigged) to the mount so that it plugs in when you insert the Streak?
I am looking for a way, as plugging the cable in is extremely tempermental, and a pain, to be honest!!

I suppose you could do something on the bottom of the Dell sleeve to hold the cable. I will have my cable secured on the console and the mount, so it is no problem for me to plug it in the bottom of the phone when I put it in the stand.
The mount comes in tomorrow. Can't wait. Had to slam on the brakes on the way home today and it looked like my phone was on the business end of a trebuchet...

In the US it is only 39.99.... not too expensive if you ask me. Plus this car docking kit really is perfect for the Streak. The sides are flexible rubber that hold the Streak and on the back there are rubber pads so absolutely no plastic is touching the Streak resulting in no scratches. Plus you get a a cable with it.
Perfection is worth the 40 bucks. Although I would love to see images of the one you purchased and seem pleased with.

I have the Dell car kit and I like it. It seems reasonably priced at $40 since it comes with a cigar lighter-USB adapter and USB cable as separate items. One can never have too many charging cables or options. The mount does jiggle a bit however this can be cured by positioning the mount so the cradle rests on top of the dash rather than suspended in mid-air.

I'm looking to use the dell case inners for a car holder. I have some garmin mounts that will allow me to fix to the dash.
The issue with the ones from ebay (original post) the holding part is covering the power pdmi connector.

Anyone thinking of making their own car mount should make clearance for the camera lens so it can be used as a dash-cam. Dell did not do this and it would require some cutting on their kit.

I acutally brought one of these:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/clingo-universal-in-car-holder-p25398.htm
The arm is solid but since it still sticks out a fair bit and the phone is kinda heavy, it does bounce a little (nothing compared to the flexi arms you find on most other phone holders). And since the Dell has a flat back, it sticks pretty well too (though I have had it drop once but I think that was cos my brother didn't put it on properly and due to the weight, it slowly peeled itself off). The pad only covers a small area of the back of the phone so you can use the camera, and there's also no clamps that would obscure the charging port or the buttons on top.
If the docking station was cheaper, I'd seriously consider getting another one for the car, that way I can easily put it on and take it off with super easy and I can leave the cable plugged in and just tuck it away (saves so much time when I do multiple deliveries and stuff).

I've seen the Dell car mount kit, and it seems to have a snugg fit to the dell.
my question is... can you use it with a case over the Dell, something like the form fit case from Dell.

How good is it really? does it pad really grip the device. I'ts an interesting concept, but does it hold onto the Dell through a long journey.
would you recommned it?

Official Motorola Car Mount

Hi,
I have pre-ordered one of these from Play.com as they are doing it for £22.50 where as everywhere else is selling for £30 RRP or sometimes more.
Anyone got their hands on one yet? I pre-ordered a few weeks ago when i first got my Defy and the stock status has gone from stock arriving 29th Nov to Awaiting Stock. I guess the weather isn't helping.

I've wanting to order one as well. Look forward to any feedback people have.

Many thanks for that info, have just ordered one from Play.com - showing as in stock now, but with this snow who knows how long it will take to arrive.
It's going to look just dandy on my motorbike!

Status is now updated to 'Packing' so hopefully will have it soon enough.
I'm going to assume the mail will slow for a while yet while they clear backlog so if i have it by next weekend that'll be good enough for me.
(and besides, i need to switch over my car stereo before i can use the audio lead)

Thats the stereo switched over, just waiting for my car mount and 16GB sdcard now.

I ordered a car mount today, went from 2-5 days when I ordered it to approx 17th December just after I paid.. bastards..

That's maybe when they are expecting staff to get through the snow and dispatch it!

no snow in Sydney Australia, currently 30C and Sunny.

Hi, I was very lazy and ordered the first genuine Motorola one i saw on the web from clove. I didn't notice the price didn't include tax or postage. Doh!
Its a great mount,if a little bulky. I didn't know about magnet to trigger the car dock app. So as I started playing I clicked the phone in and the app came on its like Wow (yes i am easily pleased). And if you dont like the Auto trigger just put the phone in the other way round and the magnet is in the wrong place to work.

I can't really tell from the pics, but do you have to plug the micro usb in separately or is it one motion. i.e. is the cable separate or is it firmly attached to the cradle?
Also does the cradle rotate to be long ways instead of wide?

accordng to expansys description :
Power-pass through –power connection with insertion of the phone, no 2ndstep required. Simply plug in the included In Car Charger into the back of the mount.

yea, read that, would just like to see some actual pictures.
I've ordered it anyway, so I just need to get some patience.

car mount
The micro usb connection is completely separate.There are no sides to the mount at all,only a back and the little corner clips.So two actions.
There are two little tabs on the back that you can clip the power cord to, and leave a little loop to plug the charger into the phone. You could then route the cable out of the way of the
radio or heater controls and not have to re-route it every time.
But as I have previously wrecked a usb connection on my last phone I plug it in on my lap pushing very gently. Then clip phone into the mount.
The phone holder to the suction cup stand is a ball and socket joint, so it can be twisted and rotated through any angle. It can also be tightened, to lock the position.
Hope this helps. C

thanks,
so much for the expansys description..

Could you post a picture?

where did you get yours from?
I pre-ordered from play.com and still haven't received it yet (although it has been dispatched). I know things have been bad in the UK but thats been about 10 days.

I bought mine from Clove
w w w. clove. co. uk I cant post links as still a newbie
But worked out at nearly £33 with tax and shipping, it did arrive in 2 days, but would rather have waited at a cheaper price.
Some other orders for stuff (from different suppliers) took 12 working days.
It was 2nd class post which is quoted as 8-10 working days, so what with the Xmas post yours should arrive any day, but a polite mail to them wouldn't hurt.
New toys never arrive quick enough.
Im not with my car, I will try and take some pics on monday if you still want them.?
Thanks N

I for one would love some high res pictures of it - not for mounting it in my car, but for taking it apart and mounting it on my bike, replacing this thing I made for my HTC Desire.

car mount photos
Hi,
hear are some photos, taken with my Defy. I did take some with my camera with the Defy in the dock, but it looks like my pc is not seeing the SD card.
Your diy mount looks great. My kind of modding, hacksaw and zip ties and minimal planning!
I had thought of getting 2 mounts, the extra one i was going to look at making a bike mount for.
but I dont think it would make a good starting point for a bike mount. Not for the price anyway.
The phone is not that tightly held in the mount. You can pull it straight out without releasing any of the corner tabs. Fine for driving unless your on the Paris-Dakar, but wouldn't trust it on a bike.
On my last phone bike mount hack (Nokia 6220 classic) from
e cell shop E Bay
I just put a couple of elastic bands around it and it was fine. But as the defy has such a great and big screen there's little room for anything across the front.This was a dry weather mount only!
You can buy adjustable car mounts for less than £10, thats 3 goes at modding for the same price as the Motorola. or
Wouldn't it just slip in your current mount?
Hope this helps N.

thanks for the pics, very disappointed its a 2 part process to mount and attach the cable.. o well. I'm expecting mine in the post late this week.
I probably wont put one my mountain bike since its more 4x (hard to get lost on those trails) but will probably get one for my Motorbike.

HD2 Car Holder for £1.99

My old car holder broke, I found this one on offer, for only £1.99 it's worth trying.

Thanks dude. Ive ordered it. Real cheap price. Hope it dont fall to bits.

Thanks for the heads up! I had one from Tesco for £3.98 but it was waaaaaaay too long, this seems like the perfect size

Ok I just got the car holder today, it looks good, it is made of hard plastic and it's fixed size so it will fit only the HD2 not any other phones; the grip on the phone is very good so no risk of having the phone falling down while driving as it happened with my previous holder.
As it rotates 360 degrees the holder can be used also ona flat surface such as a desk to watch video handsfree ;-)
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Car Charger mA?
Got both car holder and car charger. They came yesterday but I wasn't in.
Am V happy with the holder, its a bit chunky looking but it works. And you can unclip it from the windscreen, ie its not glued but suction cup.
The car charger(http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/mobilephone/htc-hd2-micro-usb-in-car-charger.html), doesn't seem to charge the battery. The charging light comes on in Android but the battery icon doesn't change. The same in WP7 except the charging light alternates red/green. Same for android using extended battery.
I have read elsewhere on xda that the charger may not be passing enough mA for the HD2 but there is no data plate and not enough info on the website to tell me what current is passed. It does say it is made for HTC devices though.
Oh well!

If it works why not, it is a fair price

Eu delivery only -£7.95

Is there actually already a car dock supporting it?

I use the older version of the Iottie one. It is able to add a % about every 10 minutes while using Waze at full brightness.

I am working on a new smartphone holder which will be ready by next month. This smartphone holder can hold the Note 5 with a Mophie battery case for the Note 5 along with hold an iPad as well. This smartphone holder will not shake while you drive nor rattle (unlike others on the market). The length of it also allows you to have it at your finger tips within finger reaching distance of your steering wheel so that both hands are always on the steering wheel at all times. Brings smartphone closer up as well so you can hear others and others can hear you as well. Much better then the plastic iOttie ones that iOttie makes. You can place it to the left side of your front windshield so it sits to the left of your steering wheel with a battery case hooked up to it so your battery remains charged at all times.

I bought a Koomus CD player car mount. It fits in the cd loader, and still plays whatever CD you have inside. I also bought the Air vent version, but the note 5 is just to big for it to be used, I've been able to test them on a brand new 2015 Toyota corolla and a 2004 Toyota corolla. It's not the best solution, but it works for me. No longer have to look down at phone while driving. I drive manual transmission and this was a huge help. I can watch twitch, football games on espn, nfl mobile, youtube etc

I had purchased a $25 + sales tax car mount universal holder that fit into the drinkholder in my car... however after a few weeks my phone started falling out of the dang thing and ended up on the floor under my feet.... & when driving obviously it's not a great idea to attempt to retrieve it.
