I was always skeptical about the sticky thing in these holders, if they'd be able to hold the streak.
Bought the Arkon Universal mount and got it today. Must tell you that streak is too heavy for it. No way I can mount it and charge it as well.
I also have a belkin 1A charger for my streak.
I'd love to see a holder that can hold the streak in landscape mode and can charge it as well, in the same position.

The slipgrip mounts can do that and come in various configurations to match a case. A bit pricey. You can also find them on eBay.

Checked them. They are so damn costly. more than 50 bucks for a holder Thanks but no thanks.
Will probably try to mod the arkon thing I've before trying anything new.
The one im using in the pictures above was 25 on ebay by far the best ive tried not flimsy at all the steam feels very secure in it

Bought the sosche dashdock for 15bucks at amazon. I hope that I'll be able to charge the streak as well since there is space for the charging point at the bottom, when streak is put in landscape mode.
Will get it next month so till that time Arkon ftw

The dell car dock works just fine for me with the outterbox defender case. Works good in both landscape and portrait. Look into it.
I spent the $40 and got the car kit from Dell. Its really nice, and of course a perfect fit.

Re-Using old dock
I bought this dock from Best Buy a long time ago and it was the setup that hooked up in your vent. It worked great in our van until the kids lost one of the retractable hooks. As you can see how my vents in my truck move side to side, I could never use the hooks because when I would make a turn the phone would just flop around. It sat around for quite awhile since I couldn't hook it up, then I decided to get creative with it and now it makes a great holder for my Evo in its Otterbox Commuter case.
This thing is solid. I see this is a Dell Streak forum, but I was directed here from another topic and thought I would share my set-up. This universal holder actually expands alot and I wouldn't be surprised if it couldn't hold a Streak.

There's no doubt that the official unit works well. But for me it's a bit too tight - getting the phone in and out is tough, I've pulled the whole thing off the dash more than once trying to get it out. Unless you're off roading, I think it's over kill.
Are there any other holders with the same bracket mount?

I waited for such a thing to come from someone other than Dell, but finally bought Dell car dock after long wait. I'm glad I did because it's just it's natural fit.
^^^
The only problem is that it can't be used with the commuter case on. I've currently a make do arrangement with Arkon universal mount. Only works in Portrait mode. The landscape shakes like hell.
BTW where in gurgaan are you from ? Are we together in some other forum as well ?

I will need to switch to Verizon within the next few months (due to work reasons). I am currently using a Nexus One on TMobile and plan to get the Droid Incredible on Verizon when I switch.
I am waiting patiently for root access to be gained but also had some other concerns before switching. A main concern is that I have not heard mention of car/home docks for the device.
I currently own the car and home docks for the Nexus One and use them regularly. I am hoping the Incredible will also have a nice docking system like this.
I need a dock and a car mount, too! I have to ask, but does N1 stuff work with DI?

I just purchased a general use windshield mount from best buy which works pretty well on the Incredible.
I would suggest ProClipUSA they offer a wide variety of windshield mounts and you can just swap out the device holder if you carry more than one item with you or you change phones often.

This issue, for me, is not holding the device. I like having a car dock like the Nexus One because it provides integrated charging functionality. I do not want to fiddle around with an extra adapter and plugging in my device. I want to be able to drop my device into the dock and have it do what I want it to do
Also, the N1 car dock launches Car Home upon docking. Just perfect.
I got a factory windshield mount today.
It's pretty slick. It's a clip in, belt holder, but the back of it allows it to mount to the neck of the window piece.
There's even a cutout in the holder so you can videos while you drives

that also allows you to use street view with augmented reality in Google Maps, but your right, it makes for a great use to take car video
i don't know if augmented maps is available in the US just yet though
see augmented reality example below:
That would be perfect if a charger was built in.

It's not, unless there's a side manual plug in type port!
Currently own the car dock mentioned in the thread, not overly impressed with it, but maybe I didnt bother to take the time to make it work. Came from the droid dock, which went where you put it and stayed there, especially helpful for when you have to plug it in. This dock has 3-4 articulated points that dont work so hot, then the fact that its actually a holster "attached" to the actual dock through a quarter inch piece of plastic adds another element of instability to the system. Tightening the joints does not help much, the holster clip still rotates freely and overall makes plugging the phone in while docked a major pain, in most cases requiring both hands to hold the phone still enough to plug it in. The window mount also leaves something to be desired, after dumping my incredible on the floor for the 3rd time, I gave up on the thing. I know how to apply suction mounts and this one falls well short, maybe I just got a bad one or something, but it will not stay on the windshield while the weight of the phone is on it. Overall, threw it away because I wanted just a car dock, if I wanted a holster I would have bought a holster. If it had been incorporated into the mount in a better way to give more stability to the dock I would be alright with it.
The belt clip, to me, is a huge feature. Don't need it? you just leave it clipped to the window mount.
I'm on the other side of the fence... to me it works great, has never fallen off my window, and has been very stable! It's better than the motodroid dock imho (sans the sideways orientation via magnets that the DI lacks).
When one comes out that has a charging port that you can dock to, I'm getting it! Isn't seidio working on one? Maybe it was another company?
You guys might want to try one of those universal grip holders. I don't really care for things hanging off my windshield, so I had an arkon SM429-SBH mega grip attached to the arkon air vent mount and it worked out really good with my G1. I tried putting my friend's Incredible in there and it fits, no blocked ports. they have a windshield mount too, if that's your thing.
So far all of the Incredible docks suck.
Unfortunately there is no car or home dock for the Droid Incredible that is nearly as good as the docks for the Nexus One. This is a sad fact of Incredible ownership.
It seems that iPhones get the best accessories.

I have a similar mount I bought on ebay (here), and while it works, the phone sits completely vertical, 90 degrees to the desktop. Not a very comfortable viewing angle, lol. I may get one of those like you bought, as it looks like it's held a bit better than the stand I have. I definitely don't mind plugging the phone in, as I have to do it anyway...
As for car docks, there is one company who has a powered doc. Proclip has this mount, but you have to purchase the attachment point for your vehicle seperately, and the price rolls up pretty fast (for my truck, it was 109 before shipping, so I'm holding off on it for now). Nice thing is though that you can buy a version of it that wires into the vehicle, so you can hide the cabling a bit better than the chargers we use now.
I'm going to try to get some pictures of my desktop mount today or tonight, but I think it's going to require some modification to make it work how I wanted it to.

Wow... you can just smell the sketchy-ness. Must be a new olfactory add-on for Chrome I didn't know I installed.
No cables were harmed in the making of this stand!
A mobile phone display stand, the back circular plastic was originally bent inwards to hold a phone in the vertical position.

The plastic was first heated and bent back flat and a hole was made to accommodate the PDMI connector.
Attached cable and glued into place.

Nice stand.
it was a display stand was from a phone store, had to pester them for it. its worth asking in any stores near you.
here is my "Crap-Stand"... (made from crap I found in my desk)
I took 2 large binder clips and 3 rubber 'things' that I found in a drawer and once pieced together it made a great little stand
As soon as I can find a knife I'll open the lip of the middle rubber thingy so the cable can be attached while in the stand

How do you like this holder and belt clip combo?
WOW there's some nice stands in here, my slacker G2 dock still holds up and uses the usb mini cable to charge but I guess these are all good second options to consider.
I'm also considering the g2, do you currently have a case/silicone on your streak...if so, does it fit well or does it have to be removed?

i have begun to love this very much...
I had tried few others and dint like this.
THis one i am kind of having it on all the time.
Also when i use it on my belt it stays put together and not buldging out too much...
The downside i noticed is that putting it back on to the clip after i remove it from the clip attached to the belt is diffcult at times..
I also have an attachment for the holder from addon for my car
just got the g2 dock. i like it but i just hate having to take out my otterbox case to make it fit.

Here are some pics of the G2 Dock being used with the Streak. I had to remove the plastic around the connector on the top cover of the dock to get it to work with the TPU case. This is not enough clearance for the Otterbox case to work. Here's a video showing how to dissemble the G2 dock.
The Router stand is a nice idea!
There is a business opportunity here people!
Modded-Stands with a _out_ for HDMI and Nice Wood or Matte finish!
Can be aptly priced..
<As it is, most of us do have the HDMI cable already by now..>
And we have at least a hundred folks here who can use a really well priced stand/dock for our Streak_Machines !!
care,
Sony.
thought I should share my other cool stand..I got this from Target for 2 AUD. Its a business card holder. Does the job well, always have it on my night stand. The other one is the DLink Router Stand.

This is the one I have. It worked great on my most recent trip. I was on vacation for a week and stuck it in the rental. Stayed on so well I almost forgot to take it with me when I returned it after a week. Fits the N7 in landscape and can rotate for it to be in portrait in case you want to use your polarized sunglasses. It held my galaxy nexus with androidtified case just fine as well from the top and bottom of the phone. It's cheap enough to test it out for yourself.

I backed a kickstarter project the millimount to see if it would fit both. I guess if its for a phone only, it wouldn't be a total loss. The kickstarter project, if funded successfully, will ship out by Jan 2013 though, but I think they have all the supplies needed when funding comes through.

I see no guarantee that it will fit the nexus 7 in landscape. Also the nexus 7 weighs about 4 times heavier than any phone on the market so I'm a little concerned about the weight pressing in he CD player. If you can vouch that it does indeed fit in landscape and holds well I may order this today. Windshield space is in short supply for me.

I agree, I doubt that would fit the nexus 7 in landscape, it's "compatible" because it would fit portrait, which is counter intuitive if you ask me.

Would you also possibly measure how small it is when it shrinks down? My GS3 is just a bit shorter than my N7 when the nexus is sideways, I'm hoping it'll fit, if so I'll probably bite on that one...it looks pretty sturdy.

Hello all,
I know, not another car mount thread.... Well here's the scoop, like a good boy I read through every other thread I could find and it seems like there really isn't a good car mount that can hold the Galaxy Note 2, nor are there any that have charging cables or stereo out cables.
Is this true or is there a mount that can truly hold the GN2 (even with a case?) that might have charging / audio out capabilities? I just am looking for something rock solid that at least holds the darn phone in place on my dash.
I know that there are 2 mounts - one out there by Samsung (and their distributor) as well as the Iottie (link below) but both have a lot of reviews claiming that the phone really doesn't fit and isn't held in well by the mounts.
Link to iottie: http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-One-Touch-windshield-dashboard-Galaxy/dp/B007FH716W
Please help if you can, thanks!!!

Merlins beard!!!!! JACKPOT!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Well, for suction cradle I went for the Exogear Exomount 2.
For stand-plug cradle I went for Capdase RacerMount.
Both hold my Note2 with case snugly.
I can even find interesting friction mounts for up to 7".

i honestly love the iottie one, even with the folio flip cover from samsung. phone is held nice and snug, and the suction cup on it is none like I've ever seen. so god damn sticky that its like its 'glued' on but not. grips to any surface
I have the iottie and I think its awsome. The suction cup is amazing and will stick to pretty much anything, dash, console, wall of living room. Its impressive. Alittle 2 sticky when your trying to move it. It is also very flexable to the positoning that is available. It also will hold the device with any case or shell you can put on it. And the quick latch function is nice also... I highly recomend and like this mount
I have iOtttie as well. Yes, it's a real PITA get off the dash or windowshield. It's open enough that you have full access to all the ports. I've even recorded video with GN2 while in the dock.
Here's a crap video I shot with the GN2 in the iOttie dock:
you can see the section cup holder for the dock in the bottom right corner. The other upper left suction cup holds the satellite radio dock. Everyone wants to listen to NFL radio, LOL. Too bad I had the flash on, might have been able to see the van laying on it's side.
Does the Iottie allow for too much stress on the charging port?

Hello all,
I know, not another car mount thread.... Well here's the scoop, like a good boy I read through every other thread I could find and it seems like there really isn't a good car mount that can hold the Galaxy Note 2, nor are there any that have charging cables or stereo out cables.
Is this true or is there a mount that can truly hold the GN2 (even with a case?) that might have charging / audio out capabilities? I just am looking for something rock solid that at least holds the darn phone in place on my dash.
I know that there are 2 mounts - one out there by Samsung (and their distributor) as well as the Iottie (link below) but both have a lot of reviews claiming that the phone really doesn't fit and isn't held in well by the mounts.

Please help if you can, thanks!!!

Thanks buddy - I just bought the iottie - looks good n sturdy.
Another FYI - I had the Exogear mount previously, I wouldn't recommend it as the rubber pieces that "grip" your phone fall off after a couple of months .

Proclip Charging dock?
Hey guys, has anyone tried the Proclip car dock for this phone? I'm trying to figure out if it's USB 4 or 5 pin, so as to support audio and charging on one cable, I figured I just find an OTG cable to then plug into that and go from there.
Sorry about the URL workaround, seems that I need to post 10 times before being able to put an actual URL in, which is lame, so just replace the "DOT" with an actual "."

Slim-Grip® Ultra Car Mounts for Smartphones & Tablets
Note 2 with an Otterbox Defender. I've even used this mount with my Nexus 7. My girlfriend uses the same mount base with her GS3. Never had an issue with it falling off.

Well, a little late to this thread but I just got the ProClip unit for the Note 2 that works with the Otterbox Defender case. This is the second ProClip unit I've had. The first being for the EVO 4G. The phone fits into the holder perfectly but you might have to wiggle it around to get it to sit right.
The unit that holds the phone without a case may fit easier.
The one thing with the unit for the EVO 4G was it didn't put it into car mode. I found the unit for the Note 2 also doesn't go into car mode but I have been reading where that might be a problem with phone itself.
check out the photos. I took 2 pieces of velcro, looped it on car vent in the center. placed my N7 snuggly into it, (tablet has a tpu case so it helps with gripping). non evasive and no car mods needed.
tested during morning rush hour traffic, stop and go. also tested at 80 mph driving freeway, braking and turning sharply it stays in place. very non evasive and i can take off the velcro anytime and it works great.
Installation time took about 30 seconds.:good:

i think u should stick some of those velcro on the back of the nexus' TPU case. much cleaner look. not liking the velcro loops on the front, but hey, it works. good job.
ive tried the velcro on the back. i hate that. it makes the case not clean. also you have to velcro something on your car and I hated that. especially when it's warm. so now you have a piece of velcro right on your radio lcd and it looks like garbage.

Yeah, that's good thinking.
It won't work in a lot of cars, because of the angle of the dash and vents, or due to glare, but if that works for you, you can't beat the price or ease of installation.

Its also important to take into consideration any safety aspects in the event of an accident. A flying tablet in the cabin would not make a good passenger.
Holy crap, that's ghetto.
You could find a better way.
I installed car audio for 10+ years and that's the most ghetto mount I've seen yet. But to each his own
Nexus 7 dash mount
I bought these at kmart for only $7 each. I got 2 so $14 total. They are magnetic. They clamp to you vents in your dash and then you mount your phone to them via a magnet and I small metal ring that sticks to the back of your device. I used 2 of them side by side, then 2 of the metal rings on the back of my nexus 7 and boom. It works great. It will work in any vehicle with heat vents. It is very easily removable and you have more capability of putting in a convenient spot. I have a chevy blazer in Pennsylvania and I went 4 wheeling with this on and it did not fall from my dash not even 1 time. Also as sturdy as it is it is very easy to remove to take with you when you exit you vehicle.

Wouldn't that block your vents, and make the device too hot when your heat is on in the vehicle?

If someone would create a dock for the dang thing I would have one installed in my car. One where the Nexus 7 comes out of course.
there are definitely lots of ways to mount. i said this would be the cheapest, and it's non intrusive to the car. it's also very effective meaning it won't fly out or fall off a suction cup or break off a vent. it takes about 15 seconds to do so it's by no means a professional job. and i have other vents on the sides of the dash that provide heat if needed, and cooling in the summer time actually keeps the tablet cool.
i can take off the velcro in 2 seconds and my car will be non invaded by crappy ebay/amazon mounts.
and no way will i spend tons of money for a "professional" to mount a $199 dollar tablet to my car dash. that's just f**kin' stupid. and plus it's a honda. (no offense to the guy trying to bluetooth to his mercedes).

I think velcro is one of the fastest ways for quick mounting.. just not the prettiest..
I just got myself a 3D printer so I printed myself an iPhone mount for my moped. Anyone ever try one out?

which 3d printer did you buy? I'm thinking of buying one myself. which software does it come with or are you using autocad?
One mount that I found for phones was a mount that went into the cd slot I find them for the phone but I am trying to find one for my thrive tablet
It's like a rubber cd attached to a phone mount great idea I ll find some pics and post them
Velcro is a great cheap idea and works very well not ghetto but clever
