Need car mount for rental cars when traveling

I do a lot of business travel and I have found that the windshield mount is not working well for me and my DINC. The last rental car windshield slanted so far back it made it hard to reach my cig lighter for charge.
I need a dashboard mount but need one that is designed to be taken in/out of cars often...not fixed or where the sticky tape will wear out quickly of get stuff on the sticky when in my bag.
Any suggestions pls???

Get one with a vent clip. They work pretty well.

i use this. its really good. cheap and does not look half bad either.

Aa traveler, I can't believe I never thought of a vent clip. -- Tanks!

Actually I find every time I bring only the vent clip I get one of those cars with stupid circle vents which never hold the clip correct. I gave up on the vent type.
This one has both to choose from.

I bought one from walmart for $20 in the automotive accessories section. It's a windshield suction cup mount and works very well.

I have not checked-out each link in this thread, but I want to remind you that some towns or states, like California, enforce a law where NOTHING can be mounted to the windshield.
I have traveled to CA often.

I have it and use it everyday. It's very sturdy and works really well. It accommodates my phone with the extended battery.
You can find it on ebay for $14 and if you use billmelater, you get $10 credit.

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.

I'm using a pdair case with the stud on the rear fitting into a pdair universal mount that suction fits onto the windshield. Check the pdair website for details.

Hello,
have the new Brodit Active Holder, works well as in horizontal or vertical Mode.
Bought it here: http://www.haid-services.de/kfz-hal...odit-halterung512246-htc-incredible-s-kfz.htm
Brodit it´s best i ever had!

Nice thanks for pointing that out. Looks like I then need to buy a separate windscreen mount as couldn't see any on the Brodit site, is that correct?
Many thanks
Ant

verizon seems to have released a decent looking one too, would provide link, but at work right now. edit for link later.

Windscreen mounts for Incredible S
Also consider Herbert Richter, a little expensive, but well worth extra pennies.

I just received Verizon's, and it's superb. It's more like a dock, where you plug your car charger into the back of the mount and the dock charges the phone.

Bump. Anyone tried out the official Verizon car dock for this? I heard that it defaults to launching the VZW navigator, but can that be changed?

Car Holder

So i have my streak now and since i love it im going to get some things like a car holder for gps, now im wondering about the official dell holder or the ones that work with the otterbox cases?
Currently i dont have a case and would eventually like to get one, so recommendations for a case as well would be nice. Moving on i know the dell made holder is a nice fit and was wondering if i get that and decide to get a case will it still fit or no? It would suck to have to remove the case everytime i want to place the phone in the "dell" holder??
Thanks

Nowadays you'd buy the official Dell accessories only if you had more money than sense as there are equally as good versions out there for much less.
You mention the Otterbox, that's a good piece of kit and if you get that obviously you want a car mount that works with it.

I used this item.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AQCXI2
If the link does not show up, search Gomadic Dell streak vent car mount.
I used it in my civic si sedan on the vent, and it's great. Some caveat though. Read the reviews and you'll know. It also fits other phones if need be.

I don't think the normal Dell mount will work with the Otterbox case, it's a pretty tight fit without a case. The Dell mount works well, and isn't that expensive. I have more time than money but bought the dell mount because it was guaranteed to work with the Streak and I liked the fact I could rotate the phone from landscape to portrait.
Mike.

Thanks for the input guys
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

That one on amazon is nice but the this i would like is to be able to rotate... The ones that work with the otterbox are 39 bucks and the dell one is 39 so i just need to decide do i need or want a case...

What do you think about the window mount adjustable ones? Im just worried since most only secure on 3 sides it can bounce out??? Any know ones that are nice and can rotate 360 and are decent prices?
Thanks

i am using proclip~~ the holder can be adjusted so that it can fit my HD2(with or without case) and streak(with or without case), of course it is expensive, but it really worth for money

Buy original products
Hello
first of all - i am very happy bout my Streak (before HTC Leo)...
I paid 400€ and bought the original CarCradlekit (used like new) for 40€ and (used like new) for 20€ the FormFitCase. The Streak with the case fits perfect in the carcradle - its partiallly made with rubber!
As next i would by the DockingStation for home use - here is the FormFitCase perfect, because u can fold away the backside and it also fits perfect without putting the streak out from the case!! (Pic.3)...
I'm tired to use products that fit not perfect to a perfect device
so hope its helpful for someone here ....

[Q] Dell Streak car mount options

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
