Awesome Bike Mount - Streak 5 Accessories

I love cycling, and hated that I couldn't combine the power of my Dell Streak with cycling. Until I found this bad boy. This thing works perfect, and is very secure.
I use Run Keeper to track my progress, and Ulysse Speedometer to track my speed, and the new Android Music app to listen to music. It makes for an awesome cycling experience. Who needs a wimpy bike computer, when you've got a Del Streak.
I'm a new user, so I can't post links, but if you go to amazon.co.uk and search for "ULTIMATEADDONS Bike, Bicycle, Motorbike Mount Kit and Holder for Dell Streak Mini 5 Smartphone" you can find it.

that looks awesome! I'd be extremely paranoid of it getting splashed or rained on though! :-\

The back cover covers most of the phone, and protects it. I also live in an area that doesn't rain very often, so I'm not too worried about that.

ultimate addons, = gpsforless, or my near neighbours.
I've heard of people breaking the mounts inside their car, so be careful..
I want a mount for mine for the inside of my velomobile, but haven't got around to it yet.
when I'm mtbing it lives in a rigid glasses case inisde my rucksack

sweet find, thanks dude!!

Seems to hold it nicely but very little protection for the Streak if your bike goes down.

Do u think I can set that up on my sportbike?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

If my bike goes down and damages my phone, I've got bigger problems than a broken phone. Also, this is more secure than putting in the back pocket of my jersey, which I was doing prior.
The mount fits on most handle bars, and says it will fit on motorcycles, but I guess it depends on the bike.

Looks great for casual riding but I wouldn't chance it if your a serious rider ie off roading. My bike usually end up covered in mud and occassionally flying through the air so I'd rather have it in my backpack covered in a waterproof bag for extra protection .

I want one but the mount holes look to me like they would be easily jarred loose over a bump. Is there more to it than this 3 holes, which look like something simply snaps into them?

Yes, it slides down and snaps in and is very secure. I've hit some bumps with it and nothing happens. I have been very impressed with how well this thing holds up. Highly recommend for cycling.

Good to know. Ordering one soon.
Errr, so amazon.uk is the only place to get this?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I did not set out to prove how secure the mount is, but after today, I am very confident in how securely it holds my phone. I had a moderate crash today, and after I gathered myself, and assessed my injuries, my first thought was, is my phone ok? Sure enough, not a scratch on it. In fact, it continued playing my music as if nothing happened.

Any chance of a photo of the actual bike mount hardware? Does it swivel, or is it perma-landscape?

I have this on my bike:

CAREfull all
Just to let you all know.. please be carefull with the mounts.
My bike-mount gave up last week! (while on a ride!)
I was doing like 60 kmph (40ish mph), and a very small undulation in the road.. and the mount (plasticy at the section where it broke off) just broke!
My Streaky was in a Silicone case - which I thank a lot (for taking good amount of impact on the corner- and some nasty skidding too!) saved the day for the phone.
Otherwise, It was a big FAIL for me!
The phone was saved!
I would suggest use some tape/glue ( just to make sure!)
(Fail section is just where the phone clamp part connects the Ball part. (that is plastic in all mounts, right? - that should be metal man!)
Thanks,
Sony.

CaseLogic £5 - the perfect xda with ext battery case

Just found the perfect case (and its only £5.00) from Jessops!Its a soft zip up one, that is just the right size, not to big, not too small.
I hate cases that are "attached to the machine", and especially as both the xda standard case and the innopocket aluminium case dont accommodate the extended battery I've been looking for a case that zips up and has safe areas for memory cards as well.
The quest for a decent carry case criteria:
The theory was this, get a "soft case" that could;
a) withstand a drop from chest height (in theory)
b) and be easy to extricate the xda (in other words get it out!)
c) Comfortable when carrying "in your jeans pocket, or jacket.
d) Suitable for running the headphone/headset cable out of as well. Without compomising the case.
e) Stowing memory cards in without risk of them "dropping out"
f) Capable of taking an xda plus extended battery.
g) Suitable for zipping around the xda during non cradled charging.
After going in to buy a memory card, I asked Chris, the helful and excellent manager of the Jessops Tunbridge Wells branch if there was a suitable case I could use, having bought an excellent "Case Logic" one previously for my olympus 4040Z. He suggested this...

What is it - I hear you ask Its not a "real xda case"
I know! - I'm just fed up of the standard case etc. and those leather enclosing ones that make such a stylish machine look like a piece of 70s retro vinyl.
And best of all its cheap! And looks good.
Ok so its not got the tobacco tin styling of the innopocket one, but wow! how simple a solution to a problem can you get!
Its basically a "memory card case, its just the right size, and you can either completely zip it around the xda (enclosing the aerial) or zip it around so the aerial sticks out of the inner corner.
The loops inside dont "project" and are soft elasticated loops, which dont affect the capacity of the case.
The sprung netted pockets hold a mmc/sd card without risk of it coming loose inside the case when the case iz unzipped to get the xda out.

Its even good for leaving on a desk with the charger lead hanging out, as readers of my innopocket case review will remember I think charging it on a table with a lead dangling is dangerous for such a delicate device like "our preciousss" :lol:
Hope this helps people out... Its been perfect for my needs. :lol:
and does it fit in ur pocket? doesnt look like it unless your a greebo/bopper style person? :shock:
note point c)
Obviously if you have a pocket that will fit the xda "sans case" then it will fit. as I said it fits snugly, so is a similar size to the unit with the extended battery fitted. Dont go by the pictures, go to and try it out in a shop unless you're wearing tight "1970s style or 1980s" style jeans. The latter of course being stonewashed.
If being a greebo means wearing "black jeans" that arent drainpipe style or the ones above, then perhaps I'm one. Not sure about the bopping bit though!

All the above comments should be understandable by UK residents, who are between 25 and 40 years old. For these people, watch this thread and find out what a Greebo is... My guesses its not someone who has green antenna and threatens smugglers in bars.
Answering phone calls
Hi Derek,
Thanks for sharing with us the usefulness of this case. Just one question though- when a call arrives, is it quite a bit of a fumble to unzip the case quickly to answer the call?
I am still looking for a slim enough case that offers some protection and yet allows one to use the xda functionally without too much fuss. Anyone with other suggestions?
Thanks
V
takes about 5 seconds roughly... to get it out of your pocket, unzip it and answer the call. I just wanted something that would not let me worry about having the xda loose in a baggy pocket.
and take the battery, and not spoil the classy look of the xda in use, which the standard case and others do. imho.

I found a car suction mount finally

I have tested this pretty extensively. It holds up great in my civic and my suburban. However, it you mount it to flat glass it falls off repeatedly. I drove a bus for our church vacation bible school and it fell of twic in 5 minutes. To make it worse, on of the arbs slid out and got lost. My best guess is that it needs the extra space behind the suction cup that a curved window offers.

I have it on my dash and what i did was to put a dab of water on the plastic suction cup before sticking on the glass
i am just afraid that someone might smash my window for it so remove it when i am done driving unless i am park at my own space
i found my car mount today to at Home Depot in the form of a roll of velcro tape, just 4 penny size circles in each corner was enough to hold the nexus firmly in place. i ordered a hard plastic case so i can put the tape on that instead of the tablet.
Just an FYI for my fellow Californian's, it's illegal to have anything (ie.Mobile Phone cradles, GPS, etc.) attached to the windshield apart from your Rear-view Mirror.
The Velcro idea is awesome wonder if the hard case will hold up to the heat and cold
I have some of those ezpass (toll transponder) plastic velcros with 3M tapes laying around and will try this

That's actually not true. You can attach it within a 5"x5"section on the lower driver side corner or a 7"x7" section on the lower passenger side corner. However, these are both still extremely limiting.

iBallz drop protection

http://www.iballz.info/
I've had these iBallz since my first iPad. They went on my iPad2, Transformer TF300, and now I have them on my Nexus7. They are the original size iBallz... I see on the website they have a 'mini' version for smaller tablets... might have to check those out as I get a lot of use out of these.
I am an eBay seller so this tablet gets around to yard sales, thrift stores, all over my garage and more. I am constantly setting it down somewhere dirty. The iBallz keep the tablet off the surface I am setting it on. I gave my iPads and the Transformer the 'drop test' with these and the iPad's come thru like champs. The Transformer (same size as iPad, also made by ASUS) survived the fall from about 4 feet high straight down to the ground but it did a reboot. I noticed no further issues besides the reboot.
Since the 7 is also made by ASUS i'm assuming something similar will happen but with all the screen lift scare I'm not going to intentionally try the drop test on the 7. I'm sure it will get an accidental drop sooner or later and I'll update this when it happens.
The strings give an added support that feels nice when you slide your hand in between the elastic band and the pad it feels more secure in your hand- less likely to slip out of your hand. The balls are great to hold on to when laying down on your back on the couch or bed watching videos or surfing..
All the balls are clear of any outer buttons, although the top right one almost hovers over the power button- but not enough to prevent usage of the button but very close to it. I'm sure the mini balls they sell will be even better.
Thats all my thoughts on it so far- I've only had the iBallz on the 7 for a couple days now as I just got this tablet. I'll update this more if I see any more insight on it.

That I can understand but they are more like form fitting foam (very solid foam but still cushiony) that is precision cut to fit. I guess if someone is so inclined they could make them but I don't think the majority are these kind of people.
For the price I paid ($25) I have gotten quite a few years of use out of them on several devices.

I see what you did there. This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. I agree it is a little steep for $2 worth of nurf balls.
OMG
Not sure what to think about having balls on my tablet. Guess nice drop protection unless your ball's fall off.
That system might work, but honestly, I'll risk dropping it. I couldn't even give a reason without making it sound like an insult...so I'll just say it's not for me...

Wanted to rejuvenate this thread and see if anyone has found an acceptable bike mount for the Note 2.
I'm looking for something that ideally secures to the handle bar in either vertical or horizontal layout and, more importantly, keeps the phone enclosed while keeping screen access. If the phone isn't enclosed, it's just a matter of time before it flies out of it's carrier.
Below are two cases I've come across that meet what I'm looking for. Anyone have any experience with these or find another solution?

same as posted above different source. hopefully its big enough for me to leave my Note II in its case. it should be since it claims to hold a note i as well which is wider.
will report back with pics and review once I get it.
mopar. you got bigger balls than I do man. I would not risk my phone like that though it sure looks pretty
for my S2 and or S3 I use my modified arkon mount. VERY expensive but nice
http://www.arkon.com/accessories/smart-phone-tripod-camera-stand.html
I REMOVED the spring in the back and add an elastic band around the two halves.
this allows it to open "wider" than normal so it holds my S2 or S3 IN their hybrid multipart (heavy duty thick cases) cases without any trouble and EXTREMELY securely. the phone "can not" fall out.
I got a 1/4 threaded bike mount tripod adapter and attached the mount.
I have not tried but I do not think it opens wide enough for the Note II - at least not inside a case and i won't have it any other way.
Here is some pics of the modded arkon mount

Review: InfiniApps Magnet Car Mount

Got this a few days ago for $30 on ebay and love it. I honestly couldn't go with anything other than magnetic - it's so easy and convenient to just quickly sit your phone against the mount or pull it back for texting at a light, etc. There really isn't much to say since the concept is pretty simple. The suction base works well on my textured dash and the magnet grips well. I haven't used it on a race track or anything but I don't take corners or always accelerate super slow either and the phone never budges. It's also great that the dock works with any phone so if you share your car or get a new device, you don't have to change mounts or have more than one. The only way it could be improved is if it had wireless charging built in too (though for verizon versions this wouldn't help most). But the phones battery is good enough that it shouldn't need to be plugged in for any trips that aren't very long anyways.
Also, I recommend the free app "IntelliScreen" with this. The app makes it so the screen won't timeout when certain apps are up on the screen (and it does some other stuff too). I made it so the music and maps app don't timeout so that I don't have to constantly hit the screen button while driving to see and control things.

I'm not positive but when the phone is put around half an inch from it or so, it easily sticks to the mount. It's not strong enough where it's difficult to pull off, but I actually believe I could go to a race track and record video from my phone's camera while it is on the mount and not have any problems with it moving/falling. I had seen the imagnet at first on amazon and was going to get that, but this one doesn't look like it's an iphone accessory so I won't have people asking/thinking I have an iphone that I give rides to, if I don't put my phone on it.

I didn't think of the spen because I don't ever really use it. I just tried it out and it doesn't work where the magnet is. However, it's so quick to take it off the mount and imo it's a lot more convenient to write/draw on it in your hand, so it shouldn't be a problem for a lot of people if not most. Navigation and everything else still works though.
I will also get a picture of the phone on the mount tonight.
