I just received my Car Mount Stand Holder for my Nexus 7:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130720309980?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It was under 9 dollars and has a suction cup to attach it to either your windshield or your desk. There is a fully adjustable neck/arm on the holder that allows you to mount your N7 in portrait or landscape mode and raiser or lower it. The suction cup also has a clamp to further stabilize it. Here are some pictures of my N7 in the stand.

No, not yet but the stand is very durable so it should work fine.
Where are you going to put it that it won't disrupt your front view?

Mount to the dashboard and have the stand inverted. The stand and holder can be adjusted accordingly.
Of course I bought it mainly as a portrait desk stand of which it works beautifully.
i have the same one
I bought it several months back for my acer a500. The part where the ball fits into. cracked on both halves right at the screws . It did not last more then a week . It was also week at that joint and never would hold solid. So i used the adjustable tablet holder and a piece from a older gps holder worked with it. Mounted it into a flat spot on the Dash of my mini van. BIG BIG Dash board..
works very well with the nexus . was a bit to big with the 10.1 a500.
Hope you have better luck then me .

Yeah, I hope so. I just looked around the device and I did not see any thin cracks or anything so maybe you just got a defective unit, at least I hope so.....

So that whole piece cracked in half?
by the way the suction cup on that is Simple amazing I WILL send you a pic of how i fixed mine and the cracked piece. The piece that cracked is the two half round pieces where the metal bar sits into. the cracks are from the tension screw toword the bracket you put the tablet in.
The arms that hold the tablet themselves are very strong..
I appreciate the info, thanks!!!
Here is what I use in my mini van

Very nice, I may have to buy another one just for the car!!
I really enjoy using it as a desk stand but the only thing is, I have to move it to the right to access the headphone port. I keep it mounted in portrait mode so the lower right arm blocks the port. It only takes a second to move it over and even when the top left arm is not touching the tablet, it still stays really secure. So it works pretty good for my purpose.

Don't leave it in the car when it gets really hot outside though.
You have it in the mount wrong. I did the same thing with it lol. Turn the tablet 90 degrees and that is the more stable way.

I just have a hard time believing that blue material is "sticky" enough to prohibit my tab from flying off there should I need to accelerate suddenly.
It's REALLY tacky. You can lift a bowling ball with that mount. Really.

clingo makes products with same sticky stuff, i have couple of their products , it does get dirty and losses its "stickyness" but all you do is wash it with tap water and its back to the original sticky strength.

The mount shown has two adhesive pads so it should be fine

I think the scoche would work great. Overkill really. I bought this tiny mount and it works great for the galaxy tab. My got it with an employee discount is the only reason I chanced it. That stick'em on it is surprisingly strong.
I have the Scoche mount and it works great. The suction cup is made from the same sticky stuff and really holds itself and my Tab in place.
There is a warning included that it may discolor certain materials, so it is recommended to use it strictly on glass or with the included dash mount piece. I have mine mounted to the dash using the included piece (which uses 3m tape) and it's solid as a rock. Was kinda worried about it discoloring my tab, and the Zaggskin that I eventually added, but no problem with either one so far. Holds the tab really well.
I used one of those ratchet clamp style window mounts for an old PDA that I had and hated how it gripped the PDA. It would also lose suction on the glass and fall off, especially during hot days during the summer, and really cold days in the winter. The Scoche mount stays put and holds the tab much more securely than that old clamp mount did with the PDA.

Is this the same as the one your using? Is there enough of the sticky material to hold it tight?
Thats almost exactly like mine. And it sticks perfectly. I was a skeptic, but no longer. honestly it could hold the tab upside down if needed.

i just bought one very similar to this at walmart for $20. i have the gs3 and i took of the side clips of the mount and i have the body glove tatic case which is a candy/gel caze and it sticks right to it. its ridiculous how secure it is and i highly recommend it. it is a very well made and designed piece. looks super clean also. the model of the one i have is:
IPH3GRR
though i cant find it online anywhere, only the IPH3GR which is different? the one i have is just like the one in the original post although the flex shaft is longer, about twice that judging from the pics. my kit from walmart consisted of this: http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/2097 with the exception that it also included the window mount.

nice concept, but it will not work on mine, since my CD player slot is hidden
and it looks like as if that thing can pop out and fall at any time
how does it latches to the slot?
just using those 4 little wings to insert inside, i don't think those will hold.
i'll like that car mount, if they had an Air Vent clip for it

I bought an Arkon SM428 on Amazon.com for my Vibrant, but works just as well for the NS I just got Vibrant got smashed in car door . Dirt cheap too. Don't let the screws in the picture scare you, only necessary if you don't have a flat enough surface for the doublestick foam tape, which holds tight. Easy to rotate 90 degrees when needed.

Hope you find this useful.
I got this from best buy, I mounted it in thespace that holds all my crap near my shifter

Here's some pictures I took.
https://picasaweb.google.com/nXtIak/CDPhoneMount?feat=directlink
2004 Mazda 3i.
The bottom part is removable, have to remove it to be able to plug in a charger, since it's very very close to the bracket. Mount holds the phone fine with the sides.
I'm not sure how I'm going to use the mount. Installed up or down, been trying both.
You can only swivel the mount updown/left/right just a little bit, so I'm sure in certain cars you won't get a great view of your phone.
The mount does shake a little bit while driving. Tightening the cd slot screw does not help.
Overall, I like it.

The CD slot one is great. Really good quality, plus I like it mounted there a lot better than on top of the dash or the windshield. I have been using it for a couple months now and I still love it.
Plus it is very easy to remove to put a CD in if you want to use a CD, then you can replace the phone holder and the CD will still play fine.
If you're willing to wait, dunno when, Kidigi is planning to release some car mounts. They look nice, but expensive as usual. About the same price as the HTC car mount for the Nexus One. Just google Kidigi and visit their online store.

Try this I have been using them for the last two years with the many phones I have had and all mounts are amazing. They work really well and are made for your vehicle and phone in mind, for a total of 84.95 for the entire kit.
I actually found this while wondering around BestBuy, which means Im sure you can find it for 50% less then I paid for it there. :º)
Although our phone is not listed as compatible, it actually fits it like a glove, even in my thin case.

Im not a fan of the extension arm, it feels as cheap as it looks. The dash mount works perfectly for me in my Subaru.
Best part of all is that not of the plugs or camera are blocked.

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

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 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..

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 !!

CNET's review: http://reviews.cnet.com/other-car-components/imagnet-mount-for-smartphones/4505-6730_7-35484776.html
The mount itself is magnetic and comes with a choice of 3 metal plates (2 with adhesive backing) to attach to your phone, which are thin enough to fit under the battery cover, case or on the back side of the device. The mount's suction cup is sticky so it even works on textured surfaces.
The magnet in the mount does affect the wacom pen, which does not respond in the 1.5 inch area in front of the magnet, so don't get this if you plan on using your S-pen with the mount. I mount mine in the car where I don't use the S-pen.
The arm has limited range so it's better suited for horizontal surfaces, but the ball joint is your standard 17mm size so it will work with different bases that have adjustable arms.
Free yourself from clamps and device-specific mounts! I highly recommend this mount. Now if they only made these with wireless charging..
Does the magnet affect the memory card?
No. My memory card works fine and so does the compass, GPS, bluetooth etc.
Superglue inside? No thanks.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
It comes with 3 metal discs. 1 plain and 2 with adhesive backing to stick on the back side of the device or inside of case.
I wanted a clean install so I opted to put the plain one behind the battery cover. The ones with adhesive didn't fit. It stays put without glue but I change my battery often so I just glued it. I was able to tear it off my S3 and reinstall it on the N2. I'm sure tape works fine.
This thing has been getting 5 star reviews. I usually don't recommend products that often but this one was worth it.
It looks slick too. I'll have to post some pics.
If only they had built wireless charging into it too
it is my understanding that the magnetic field would disrupt the working of the S-pan. can you confirm that the s-pen works with this magnet attached?

You sir are correct. I went out to test this and it seems that the S-pen does not respond in the 1.5 inch circle where the magnet is. It works fine elsewhere on the screen. I don't plan on using the S-pen in the car but this is good to know because I was going to get one to use as a desk dock.
Attached a some pics of the dock and phone. That Torque app is an app I'd recommend to any car enthusiast.
Here's a shot of the metal disc taped to the back cover.

The metal disk to fit inside the cover is just a metal plate that is not magnetized. The magnet is outside.
However, I would not recommend this. If you use it a lot, the metal plate will get magnetized over time and become a magnet itself, causing the compas to give false readings and it only takes a week magnet to cause this.
You can easily try this out yourself. Get a needle that is not magnetic. Then swipe a strong magnet along the length of the needle 10-20 times. Now you have a magnetic needle.
Doesn't that only happen to some metals? I've been using this mount for 3 months since I had my GS3 and the disc has not magnetized.
This mount was originally made for iPhones and the manual said it's safe for use on iPhones--that it won't scramble the components.
Anyways, I just wanted to recommend a product that has been a joy for me to use. I think that over time they'll come out with one that has wireless charging which would be sweet.
i couldnt buy it? can anyone help?

Maybe this magnet isn't powerful enough but they can cause the battery to raipidly discharge and overheat because of the metals inside the battery. I'd love this if it was like the Palm wireless charging..
I was looking up videos of this on youtube and one of the posts had a discount code for this on Amazon. I can't post the link.

P.S. but its nice to see that this product wasn't made in China.
No issues with GPS here. It only seems to affect the wacom pen.
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
