Why oh why.. doesn't smasung make desktop or window mounts for our phones?

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.

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.

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

or

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.

The best car holders I have found are those by ProClip USA. A little more expensive, but well worth it.
I just ordered my holder for my Focus.

From the info it looks like the charging mount doesn't rotate.
If you have it can you do a quick review pls.

Scosche makes a couple different universal holders that will work. I have the vent clip one. There's also a windshield type if you perfer. Check the GPS section at your local big box store.

I ordered the Clingo in-vent car mount just over a week ago, when it arrives I'll let you know if it works.

I agree the slipgrip mount is too expensive. I sent the seller a message to see if I could buy 2 of the mount plates with nothing attached to build custom mounts from and he 'generously' offered to knock $6 off the total. I am looking at other options. On the other hand some people just want something that works.

It's just a phrase meaning stores like Walmart, Future Shop, or what ever large electronics store is in your neighborhood. Wow I must be getting old cause I'm using phrases that people don't understand. Walmart has a seperate section of universal docks just for GPS devices that aren't with the other phone docks. Here is Scosche's website link though.

Universal car dock?

Do any of you use a universal car dock?
I'd like to be able to clip it to the vents so that I can easily reach it for navigation.
Anyone using one that they'd recommend?

I have this one and I'm very happy with it. It's not a vent holder though. I found that the SNS is a bit big to hang off the vents.
EDIT: I can't post links so just search ebay for 'nexus arkon'.

I have this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Y3BEV4 it's meant for the IP4 but works great with our phone. I like the fact that I can use it with other phones in the future.

I use a clingo car holder, its golden, if your in vancouver you can probably find one at london drugs, thats where i got mine

Clingo is great.. for about 3-6 months.
I've gone through four Clingo mounts. Every time, after a few months the green backing starts literally falling apart and leaving residue on the back of the device.
I really wanted to love Clingo. But the pads are basically disposable. Sadface.

I use this one as well, it worked for my evo, nexus S, and my wife's pre, and an ipod.
It also comes with a window attachment AND a vent attachment. I've seen it on amazon for as low as 8.99 so I actually own two.
Throw an NFC tag on that with a nexus and pure gold

Sweet car mount

Hey guys, I found this in the Droid 3 section. This mount seems pretty sick. I may just cave and buy it. Up to now I have kept modifying my car mount from my original droid. I made it work for my d2, and now (kinda..) my bionic. But it is not as secure anymore.
This looks nice!

That actually does look sweet! I wonder how it holds up and how long the suction holds.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

It looks sweet. The only problem I see is the clip looks wide. Going off the dimensions of the iPhone 4 it looks to be about 1 1/8 inch wide. If you clip it on the side you will have to cover the charging port or volume down button since there is only about an inch of room there. It says it can accommodate up to a a 5" screen so you might be able to clip it top to bottom. I might still go ahead and get it and mod it if I have to. Good find.

If you are going to spend that much money on some generic piece of junk why would you not just buy the one that is made by Motorola for the phone?? http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...ryDetails&archetypeId=12747&accessoryId=47728

Then there's the clingo.

Why do you call those docks "junk"
Perhaps, people don't want to buy device specific car docks every time they get a new device.

Does look pretty nice, the only thing I see is that it would take both hands at an awkward angle to to squeeze the back then mount the phone...instead of just placing the phone in the cradle with the oem dock.

+1 - While these two docks aren't my cup of tea, doesn't mean they wont suit someone else's needs!

Get the moto branded bionic dock and never plug/unplug another cable.

This looks great for someone who has a family that might not all have the same smartphone. I'd much rather have this in my two cars so that it doesn't matter which car I drive, I can still mount my Bionic and my wife can mount her Droid 3.

I just got this one yesterday. Gotta say, I'm pretty dissapointed. Jiggles around quite a bit, even though it's locked down tight. The suction cup mount holds very well though.

From what I've seen even the ones made device specific still jiggle a bit.

This is awesome. I wonder how dependable it is? I need something that I can depend on for my motorcycle. Do you think it would work if I have a Body Glose case with the swivel clip? (Obviously just the nub would be on the phone, not the whole clip)

The one Made by Motorola for the Driod Bionic, only cost 10$ more. Plus to charges the phone, and activates the Dock App.
The on in the OP looks like a Giant clothes pin with a suction cup attached to it. It would come in handy for phones that dont have car mount made for them.

I don't know but I know they use this sticky technology in things like clean room door mats to take dirt off your shoes for entering a sterile environment. The sticky never runs out, you just wipe it with a damp cloth. As far as on a motorcycle...well I won't make any guarantees.

I've used the Arkon Mobile Grip with my Sensation and it works great, I've recommended it to others on xda and elsewhere and they've been happy with it.
I've tested it with the Infuse and it fits with room to spare, so it'll work with the Bionic.

I have the motorola car mount and it recently started to mess up (the car charger chord doesn't fully connect to the car mount thus no charging unless directly connected to bionic) this one looks nice I'm going to buy...FYI its on Amazon for under 20
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I have to say, these are pretty bad ass universal docks... Why go device specific.. I understand that its just the same price, but the Bionic for some of us isn't the first phone we'd mount in our car... So its actually a savings... Plus, the cardock app isn't GREAT, the google car home is universal...

I went with the Clingo
before this I used the Universal VZW vent mount and the DroidX Car Mount... Both IMO sucked and Bulky-
This has to be the Simplest Dock ever-

Best car vent mount?

I do an awful lot of traveling, which means an awful lot of rental cars. At home I use a Pro-Clip system for my Note 2, but haven't found anything that is easily packed and easily transferable from rental car to rental car. I would rather have a vent mount solution than a "windshield suction cup" or a "weighted bean bag that rests on the dash".
Anyone have experience with a solid, small, easily-packed vent mount/clip that will accommodate the Note 2?
Thanks in advance.

I have one that mounts into my CD player slot. Universal and works wonderfully. About $30 on Amazon
Sent from my VZW Note II

Just ordered the CD one for 17 bucks. Won't ship til 21st though. I tried a vent mount from Radio Shack that was on clearence but didn't work right with my vents.

Cool. I used to use ProClip mounts but I switch phones so frequently that I had to stop doing that. I've been using one for about 6 months and it's been great
Sent from my VZW Note II

Looks good, but a little bit bulkier than I'd like. Ideally it would be something that fits easily into the outside pocket of my computer bag with minimal fuss. I hadn't thought about a CD-slot holder, thanks for the pointer. I'm not sure it's a workable solution for me, though, as not all my rentals have a CD slot in the dash. I'm almost tempted to grab a couple of design engineers and put up a Kickstarter for something sturdy that folds credit-card thin and hooks into the vents. =)

Alright thanks. And I have a red '98 Trans Am (not a WS6) with the 6 speed. I'm jealous. imo the WS6 hood should have looked like the Firehawk's as it fits the curves of the car better.

I use this mount as well and love it. No vibrations, and it fits the phone with my flip case on it. Also holds the Note 2 in landscape as well. The price is perfect but I would have paid twice as much for it.
