Hi guys, I've recently become a lucky owner of Leo. The first things I bought atferwards were the normal soft/silicon case, ebay item no. 280510486481 to be precise. It's a very good case, BUT! I can't use any standard car holder, horizontal belt pouch or desktop charger/sync cradle. It simply won't fit in. Has anybody had and solved similar problem? Are there any products into which the "inflated" HD2 fits? Please let me know... I really don't want to end up taking my Leo off the case anytime I want to use it as satnav, and I also want to be able to carry it on my belt while being protected by the layer of silicone... Thanks a lot in advance!
Something like this perhaps.

I have a universal type holder which works okay but find the damn thing rattles too much when phone is not in place. I think I paid about £5 on eBay.
That's great, looks quite strong!
So - what about a charging cradle and the belt case?
There are many cases out there with a loose fit so I would imagine with a silicone case would provide a very tight fit to begin with and gradually loosen up. You could also try something like this designed for the TG01 which has larger dimensions than HD2 so should fit. No guarantees of course.

For a desktop cradle I remember seeing a few pictures on here where the HD2+silicone case sitting on the deluxe cradle sold all over eBay. No guarantees of course.
I've got a Tetrax car holder (the one with X) which works great! ->

The tetrax holder looks great. Could you give us a little more details?
- Is it really safe?
- Does the phone stand in the position wanted (not rotating unwantedly)
- The mount vent aren't fixed so when the phone is there, does the weight make the phone "look" to the ground or is it possible to get the correct orientation?
- Does the HD2 need the accessories kit or the back cover works with the magnet?
- Any idea of the shipping cost and time?
Thanks for your experience!

It is safe - using it for some time now.
The phone is exactly in the position I want it. However, since the holder is really tight to the dashboard, you can't change the direction in which the phone 'looks'.
However, you could use a flexibel arm and put the holder onto that.
What do you mean with then accessories kit? It works with a magnet, so the 'button' must be glued to the HD2, but can be glued to the cover/case or whatever you use to hold the device in.
This also means you won't have to remove the HD2 from the case when you go in your car!!
Can't really tell anything about shipping cost/time, because I bought it here in The Netherlands. (Bought the thing, next day it was waiting on me at home!)
Hello all,
I love my seidio innocase ii and holster combo. I am looking for a car mount that will work with the case and allow charging too. I went by VZW today and looked at their Incredible Case. As stated in the other thread you can't use any case with it. I purchased a OEM air vent car mount, but the charging socket is blocked unless you slide your phone up in the grips (the two grips have holes cut out in the middle). I don't really like this one because the release button is at the top behind the phone. Not this one, but very smiler http://tiny.cc/eahgk
I would like to find one that can turn 90 degrees with a ratcheting action that the car charger can work with.
Bright Idea
I'm thinking about cutting up an old leather belt and gluing a small loop of it on the dash so I can clip my Seidio case on it. I'll let you know how it works out.
Just kidding dbrown! I am seriously eying the universal holder from http://www.proclipusa.com/ which definitely covers the usb port but I'm picturing a hole or slot cut through the side to fix that. All the other universal stuff looks HUGE
Why go for a universal holder when they have one made specifically for the DInc? Unless you have other devices you are planning on using with this. I just don't like their mounting spots for my vehicle, too bad too =/.

We're looking for a holder that will work with the phone and case. I don't want to take the phone out of my case every time I need to mount it on the dash of my car.
I just got this:
amazon.com/gp/product/B003H92LSA/ref=oss_product
But I'm not satisfied with it. Cause to the short neck, The screen is head to the top of my head, and it's not very easy to get my phone on it.
Look for a better mount, still.
i've always used this gooseneck windshield mount from verizon.
you can find it by not specifying a phone under view all mounts..
Part #WINDMNT1
19.99
it fits most all phones ever made, plus cases.....
i have my inc in it tilted so i can access the touch screen keyboard...
i got a universal one from bestbuy and it works pretty good
I have one of these on the way. http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-hands-free-mount
I think that I would like to the get TETRAX XWAY to mount my DInc. Since I'm a new member I can't post links. Sorry.
I did see a nice video review and it seems like it would work perfectly because you can leave the phone in its case.
my friend got a car dock at the vzw store, the clip part the phone goes into is actually a removable belt clip. you can remove it from the car dock completely and put it all on your belt, pocket, whatever you wanna clip it to. however, there's no case involved in that package. i'm sure seidio has a case/clip you could mod to work with a similar product as i described first.
My plan is to get the car mount from htcpedia and the innocase holster for the Surface. Then either switch out the belt clips (hopefully), or just use my dremel on the innocase holster belt-clip to cut out the same as the mount's beltclip.
A little more expensive, but seems to be the best "factory-type" option I can come with.

I have one of these too, it's awesome! If you want a mount that doesn't stick on the windshield AND works with a case...this is the way to go.
Hello,
I really like the xway too, but not sure if it would work with the inocase II. The case has a ridge that runs down the length of the back of the case. I went with this..
http://bit.ly/9lOy6V. I got the sm410 and currently using the vent grip. Its a little big, but does put the dinc with arms reach if needed. And the power cord is not blocked.
try something from here

i have the air vent mount and it works great with any phone including my incredible.
Arkon Mega Grip - Give them a try.

I have the same one, picked it up from microcenter
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0281093
works well with my innocase active. but sometimes when you secure the dinc in place the mounts grips will press the volume button. its not too hard to position it in the middle of the rocker so it wont adjust it, and it not a problem once you have it set in there.
would buy again
I've tried several different mounts and haven't been happy with any, until now. I picked up a couple of the SoundGate M2 universal docks from wiredforless.com and could not be happier. The install was simple, once mounted it looks great and folds down into almost nothing. I don't know if it's still available, but I used discount code WOOT and got two of the mounts and shipping for $14.95.
AND, it works great with the Seidio case I have.
Great product, couldn't be happier.

i position the left clasps to the bottom and the right ones to the center.. that ensures the volume button doesnt get pressed.

You can switch out the belt clip on the car kit holster with the Seido clip, I've done it. Just tap out the pins in both clips, place the spring back in between the clip and the holster and tap one of the pins back in. Works like a charm. Now I'm trying to get all the audio and charging done with a modified 12 pin micro usb from the TV OUT cable.
I did reviews on these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2MaD_ZOKCo
Highly recommend these and I use with my Seidio II.
So I got the car dock and like everyone else says the quality is great. But it is really hard to find anyplace to mount it if your windshield is far away. So I had to take the dock apart. I did not use the suction base but unscrewed the thumbscrew and just used the mounting clip. I just bolted the clip and part of the swivel to a vertical flat spot in the car. So I do not have much tilt but it work.
Anyway, with that done I realized that I could no longer use the suction base since I needed another clip and swivel. I went looking on the web for parts and found what I think is where Samsung gets some of the parts for the dork. Check out the iGrip Traveler. Looks like the same clip and swivel. So I ordered one. I will let folks know if the clip will connect to the samsung plate. If so I will have a nice car mount and a nice charging desk mount in one.
I've just made the switch from iphone and need a new cradle and fm transmitter for GPS navigation in the car.
One slight complication is that I have just ordered a Otterbox defender case which going off the iphone version is quite big. I had this problem with the iphone and the solution was to buy a generic / universal cradle that can be adjusted to the otterbox dimensions. The Streak however has a the charging dock in an unconventional position which means most holders obstruct the port with the clamp. Therefore I am on the look out for a case which with the following capabilities:
1. Fits the dimensions of the Streak + Defender Case
2. Keeps the charging port free
3. Keeps the audio jack free so that I can use something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360367214309&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I have found a couple on ebay:

Do you guys think one of these will be ok or do you know of any better solutions?
Thanks
I have the one you posted in your first link and all my cables fit just fine. Hope his helps
I have purchased one called (ClipSlip) or something like that. You should have Otterbox impact. If you could not find I will share the link later.
Sent from my Dell Streak
Heres another one i have in transit now for my kayak, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190482313896&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I only need the holder for the kayak so i can use my navionics on the ponds and lakes, i have the mount already mounted in the yak and use the fitted holder out of my car when i need to.
Just google SlipGrip for dell streak with Otter Impact.
Thanks for the advice. I went for the 1st link in the end. The slipgrip looked really cool but decided a universl one is more versatile e.g. sometimes my girlfriend puts her iphone in the cradle.
Cheers
I love the gameklip concept. Although, I do not love their "universal" approach. I don't want to have to click in and out of cases every time I want to use it. Also a full case plus the gameklip makes for pretty wide dimensions. I'm trying to find a mount of some sort (vehicle, desk, etc) that I can take a part and use just the part that actually grasps the phone and then glue that to the gameklip rather than a case. One that would work over a case would be excellent. So do any of you have any ideas? Do you have a mount that works with a case that you think could be hacked down to minimal size and then glued to the gameklip? I know I'm technically asking a question but I feel this post fits better in the accessories forum.
I like how Moga executed their phone holding mechanism. Something like that combined with a gameklip would be perfect!
Hi, I'm also interesting in this. so far what i think might work is a car holder having a flat surface in the back of the holder, unfortunately I haven't found one like this.
