Just got the Otterbox Defender case and was wondering if anyone found an adapter that is that same as the one on the dell suction cup mount?
I have a few proclipusa mounts for older devices I would like to convert for this purpose, either with glue, screws or solder...
thanks
If you look at the belt clip you will see it has a universal mount slot on it. I mounted one of those in my vehicle and use the holster to hold the Streak. Works well I think.

Here are pics of the car mount stalk and the bracket on the back of the part that holds the phone. bracktron makes mounts that have the same bracket as does rocketfish. The image on the left is the bracket, the one on the right the end of the stalk.
See this review at StreakSmart for pics of the back of the Defender case showing the mount attachment.
I picked up a Rocketfish branded car mount with the same bracket at Best Buy for $10. It is almost identical to the Dell mount bracket.

Very useful information thank you.

I have the official Dell car mount attached to my dashboard using the circular sticky pad.
In the summer it's stuck there like you wouldn't believe. In winter, I just can't get it to stick. The pad is still firm to the dash, but the suction mount will not stay attached for more than about 20 seconds.
Any suggestions short of some sort of permanent attachment?
I'm in NY.

Same issue here
Just wont stick when the glass is cold...
However once the glass gets warmed with heater on for sometime, it does...
I tired many many things but nothing seems to work
However i use a garmin gps mount and that sticks all the time...
My next step would to modify that mount to replace my streak mount
I don't know if they hold any better but Rocketfish and Bracketron both make a mount that has the same attachment point as the Dell car mount. I picked a Rocketfish mount for a spare at Best Buy for $10. The suction cup on the Rocketfish is clear and the Dell mount is black.
Just in case you didn't know the Dell mount has two positions for the grip lever. Make sure you are pushing it all the way down.

Bracketron Mount - they have other models
Edit: Here are some custom car mounts.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see if I can find any of those to try out.

does the same for me... damn thing pops off my Harley windshield either first thing in the AM or in the PM.
Best I could do clean the cup and glass very well and put the cup on it wet
I've read on gps forums that a drop of vegetable oil, vaseline, or chap stick might work. Worth a try.
I've got a good reaction time now though. I can take one hand off the wheel and catch it before it hits the centre console!

Hi all. I am hoping someone here can help me find the right car mount for my Streak. Its in an otterbox commuter case. I want a mount that will fit the Streak securely while in the case and also be able to charge the phone while mounted. Would appreciate any input.
Have you used the search option or looked on ebay or done any work at all? There are a bunch of threads already including one i made, if you search "dell streak 5 car holder" in ebay you will find what you need!

I actually found one at walmart in the automotive department. $15. Fits perfect and leaves room to plug in the charger.

I'm considering buying the offical car kit, It's quite expensive (£30) but I think it will be worth it.

I bought mine the day u posted this on e-bay and its the best for the Dell streak 5. arrived in the mail last week (the both of them) the original car mount from Dell is fantastic plus u can use the XM-Radio vents .pocketables.com/2011/03/xm-radio-vent-clip-mount-fits-dell-streak-car-kit-holder.htmlwhich gives u a better and closer feel to the device while you drive. Buy both from e-bay cheap. Please view link below
Slipgrip makes a great holder and they have versions from naked to otterbox defender and all in between. Check them out on ebay

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.

eBay has them but I remember seeing one that held various Otterbox cases somewhere....
Mine snapped and the part that holds my phone broke... I'm also looking for a car dock myself.
I'll sell ya mine. PM me if yer interested. I never use it. It's in perfect condition.
I've also got a car dock I'll sell if anyone wants it. I hardly use it now and I'm moving to the city next week, so I really won't be needing it now.
I don't have the car charger, just the dock.
PM me if you want it.

Are there car docks that have the right attachment for the outterbox defender case?
I have a Rocketfish mount I got at Best Buy for $10 that has the same style attachment point on it as the defender case. Bracketron also makes mounts with the same type attachment. You can get a variety of 'stalks' to mount the defender on.

No - it seems that Best Buy has switched to Bracketron for their universal GPS mounts. Search BB's site for 'universal gps mount'. You can find the rocketfish mounts on eBay - same search term.
I want something that can adjust both up and down and left to right. I saw the SCS-270 for Verizon but I have the Sprint version of the LG G2. I know the Verizon size is a bit bigger because of the wireless charging so will the SCS-270 work on Sprint?
UPDATE: I went with this one and it is AMAZING! Extremely sturdy and a perfect fit! $10 shipped!

I'm not sure if the fits your needs ideal, but I have been using it and couldn't be happier. It's stable, sturdy, and simple. It fits my G2 with a fat case on it and also my girlfriends old iPhone and current HTC one. I recommend it.

I use this one, it is very easy to put the phone in the mount but be aware if you have a bigger case it may not fit well.
I had to cut the spring down a little and stretch it because it was too tight for my liking and I use a thin Nillkin case (very nice btw).
I do really like it though because it is so easy to put in the mount. :good:
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I found some on eBay that are custom fit for only $10 shipped. I'll post the results when it arrives.

Check out this seller. I will have mine on Saturday so I can't speak for the quality till then but these are exact fits, cheap and shipped from the US.

Keep watch on slickdeals.net for the iOttie. It's meant for iPhones, but my phone fits fine. ~$10 is a good price for it.
Like other mounts, it secures the phone confidently, but I chose the iOttie because it has a very sticky suction cup. I've got a leather dash, with tons of little ridges and bumps, and my mount has adhered without dislodging for the last month. It's doesn't use a glue-like adhesive. You can reuse it if you run the cup under warm water, and it sticks like new.
They make the iOttie in XL, but it's a few bucks more.
Just hit up Amazon for reviews and pics.
Just my 2 cents... If you have a case on the phone... The best thing I've found is the imagnet mount on amazon.

I gave up getting phone specific car mounts. My Epic 4G custom mount was useless with my EVO 4G. So I got a custom EVO 4G car mount. Wich was useless when I switched to Verizon and got a Bionic with the custom car mount. All so I could put the phone into car mode. When I got the G2 I said screw a custom car mount. Bought the iOttie flex 2 and and Damn happy with it. The iOttie flex 3 is even better. No it doesn't put my G2 into car mode. But I'm over it. Just got a lumia 1520 and it fits my flex 2 just fine. That's just my opinion after 15+ phones over 15 years

Does this mount fit non-Verizon variants?
No idea if none VZW G2's fit in the VZW Car mount. I guess you could always go to your local VZW store and ask to try out the car mount.
I orded this Mountek nGroove CD slot mount off Amazon and I love it. My dashboard mounts always fall off, especially harrowing on a long road trip (not to mention, potentially damaging my phone). But I'm very happy with this slot mount. You put it in your CD slot (and yes, you can have a CD in there), tighten the wing so it keeps the slot inserted tightly, place the phone in the mount, and close the arms. It's secure and easy for me to see. It blocks my Sonata's clock, so if I need the time, I have to look at the tiny print on my phone.

I purchased the Mountek Snap so I could mount any device. The magnet is thin enough to fit inside the case when you snap off the back.
I use the LG wireless charging car dock. Verizon though, I guess it would be useless if you don't have wireless charger.
