Found this vent mount .....

ME-115W+PB-A03L
U can search on amazon to bring it right up. I was wondering if anyone has used it.
Ideally I would prefer a CD mount, but the only one I have come across so is from mountek and it seems like the nexus7 about. 5 inches too wide =/
Any suggestions? Thanks

Looks ok, but vent mounts scare the bajesus outta me lol. There was a few CD mounts that looked promising but I would actually spring 50 bux for the dash mount that hangs over the dash over the radio.

I have a vent mount for my SGS3.
My observations are, it makes the vent face down because of the phone's weight and it blocks the vent. The phone gets cold in it's back because of the AC.
Now multiply that with the size/weight of the N7, and wonder if windshield sun/heat and cold AC fan combined wouldn't cause some sort of moisture condensation..

I've been using a vent mount for over a year for my EVO without any issues, but I wouldn't want the weight of a tablet hanging on a thin piece of plastic.

Car Mount for the LG G2 - Any recommendations?

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.

Not trying to hijack your thread, but anyone have a suggestion for a good car mount that clips to your car's air vents?

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.
This is the link to the mount on their official site: http://www.mountek.com/shop/cell-ph...al-cd-slot-mount-cell-phones-and-gps-devices/

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.

Spigen - Easily the best car mount

This new mount from Spigen is the best car mount I've ever seen. Mount it right behind the steering wheel and you have a heads up display just below the windshield, at least on the Mazda 3. Perfect.
http://www.spigen.com/products/spigen-car-mount-stealth

It's good but could be better. The sticker on it sucks for the windshield in hot weather. I replaced it with 3m tape.

Car Rental
Would this work well for someone who is looking for a mount to use in rental cars? Not seeing how reusable the adhesive pad is anywhere or if it's going to leave marks that I'll get charged for.

I've been using this $10 mount for a bit over 2 years now, and it has never fallen off my dashboard. If anything, it's hard to pull it off the dash at times if I want to move it somewhere works great, cheap, zero complaints.

it says...
The power suction enables you to mount on to almost any surface such as dashboards, metal, glass, plastic and even drywall Silicon lined grid keeps your phone and other devices safe and secure.
A suction attachment seems much more durable than adhesive. temperature won't matter and it can be adjusted as it isn't permanent. An essential feature.

I like this, nice simple, compact design. Easy to install my phone onto it too.

hmmmm I might have to grab one of these, I like the compact design so you cant really tell its there when your phone is not in it

Pro-Clip rules. No Sticky tape. And I prefer portrait mount for Nav. I want to see more of what's ahead than what I'm passing.

Nice but doesn't have Qi support for me... I use my phone a lot in the truck so I have been looking for less hassle with cords for the power... got the bluetooth audio for the nav & music but it needs a power source to run all day.

Amazon sell it for #16.99

my favourite mount is the magnetic CD slot mount, like this one, they are amazing.

NICE ONE ~ Like the design. I guess I'll have to ask my dad to buy one of this. He is still using a navigator when driving.

[Q] Best Car Mount?

I'm looking for a car mount that can replace my old N5's qi based charger. I have a curved/textured dashboard, it would be great if I can mount on that!
Thanks!

My old civic had a curved and textured dash and was incredibly difficult to find a suction mount that actually held.
Enter iOttie.
These mounts typically have a soft and sticky suction mount that will adhere to almost any surface. I picked up the "easy flex 2" which has served me well for a couple years without ever detaching.
Word of caution though, when trying remove the mount yesterday it took CONSIDERABLE effort to pry it from my dash as the sticky bottom of the suction cup had become so settled that it seemed glued to my dash. I eventually pried it off but not without leaving some marks on my dash which I do not know if they can be cleaned off. The most common complaint for iOttie seems to be this "super adhesion" and is worth considering before purchase.
Tons of their mounts are available on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=mobile&field-keywords=iottie
HTH!

Any idea if a magnetic mount will work on the 5X (as with the 5?)
Thanks!

This! I love this mount and always recommend it to people who have a CD slot in the dash, as long as its not in an awkward position. It's centered, close, my old iOttie dash mount was leaving an imprint, and cooler temperature wise by not being in the windshield. The last one is important for me especially in the hot Florida sun.

I actually decided to order another one but this time the magnetic Snap 3 version. I realized that because the phone has both power and volume on one side, the cradle version would have to grip it lower than it does on my GS5. Kind of throwing it off centered while in landscape. I do like the idea of putting the mounting badge on the inside of a case to keep it more discrete.

I went with the Spigen mount... It works great on my current HTC One M7, but I have concerns with the buttons in the middle of the phone on the 5X. Will see this week...

I hadn't thought about that. Please update with how that goes. I still haven't pulled the trigger on it.

Ok, been using the Spigen mount over the past few days... Overall, I think it will be hit/miss for many. I started with the phone centered in the mount, which results in the volume buttons being in the 'clamp zone', the power button was not interfered with. I inserted/removed the phone several times. There was one time that I noticed the volume button was hit (showing the volume slider on screen), but it wasn't being held down. So, there will be instances when the volume (and maybe the power, depending on how you insert) can be bumped, but it doesn't appear that the mount design will keep the button pressed.
I then adjusted the phone so it was offset in the mount so that the volume/power were not interfered with. Made inserting the phone a bit awkward, but that is likely due to having a certain method of mounting the phone. I think I just need to re-learn the process and it will be fine. I was happy with the result because it actually moves the phone closer to me. I have had no issues hitting the volume keys with it offset, nor was there any issues with the stability of the mount with the phone like this.
So, YMMV, but I will continue to use the Spigen mount...

I bought a Spigen magnetic vent clip mount. Then I cut down a Ringke Slim case and mounted a plate behind it. Phone slips and the magnet holds the butchered case in place when installing and removing. If I am running a case I put a plate in between the phone and the case and place a piece of dryer sheet between the phone and the plate. Not the nicest but quite functional.

Car Mounts?

Does anyone know of any current or upcoming car mounts that would be good for this phone?
I currently use this one for my Note 4 and it OK at best. The phone is too heavy for it so it falls off my air vents from time to time (or swings off if I turn to fast lol).
https://www.amazon.com/WizGear-Universal-Swift-Snap-Technology-Smartphones/dp/B00PGJWYJ0/
Would rather not use this for the Note 8 as I know the glass is more fragile.

this is the best mount I've found so far. I use it with my s8+ and it's never fallen off.

I would highly recommend any one of the osomounts from Amazon. I have owned one myself for around four years and it's so strong, it requires a good amount of force to pull of the glass, really good mount.

Will be waiting a little bit more before getting a car mount but I might use the WizGear mount

There is only one car mount anyone should ever buy, and that's the Craigsdocks mount:

Pay the money for it once and you'll never need to buy another! I hated the thought of universal docks until I tried this thing out. Owner is super nice, will reply to your questions with personalized videos if necessary, and this thing just works better than anything else on the market - trust me, I drive for a living, I'm in the car between 30-50K miles a year. I know what works and what doesn't!
