Of the accessories above, I have seen the Moko case and also the Car mount reviewed as well a while ago. The other user made a few youtube vids as well with the mount in the car. Looks good IMO. I may pull the trigger myself soon lol.
As for the kb and stylus, I have no opinion either way, sorry.

Car cradle/holder (for navigation)

Hi,
Anyone can suggest a very good car cradle/holder for Kaiser?
The one that has power connector of course.
I cant use my old cradle (I used it with the Magician) because the usb power location is different (opposite).
you could always face the phone in the other direction...
I have always been very impressed with the powered holders from:
http://www.proclipusa.com
I have already asked them about the Kaiser, and they confirmed they are making one, it just isn't available yet.

Looks like ProClip is ready to go for the Tilt
robroy90,
The Tilt now appears in Proclip's device selector.

Yes, and it has been listed for several weeks. But after you place the order, you will see that it is backordered. I ordered mine over 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't shipped.
In spite of this, I have always liked my proclip holsters and holders.
I ordered one last week and it is due to be delivered on Wednesday. I've owned 4 other proclip device mounts and 3 car mounts, and have loved all of them. If you've never used a proclip mount, it will probably cost you $90-100 or so for the device mount and car mount combined. Their car mounts are pretty slick also.

I ordered and received my ProClip about a month ago, and absolutely love it. I will say that it does take a little getting used to sliding it in. Since the Tilt sits forward in the clip (gap behind the Tilt) so that the keyboard can slide, it can be a bit of a trick in the beginning figuring out just how to slide it in, especially when doing it without looking. But now, I can slide it in without looking, and have no issues at all.
For those looking for a cheap solution, the Kaiser is actually slim enough to fit into most cellphone vent mounts, if you trim the cushions a little bit. That solution is also less obtrusive and less likely to get your car broken into.

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.

Streak car cradle / dock

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:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320689815218&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
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.

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

Dell car kit? Can't find it.

I really liked their car kit does anyone know where I can buy it?

Get the part number and call Dell, they may have one or you may get frustrated.
Try ebay, search on ultimateaddons

I was just on-line with one of their sales reps, and she couldn't find it either - she will "let me know when they get them in" - yeah, right ......
Yes, they took them off the market for "upgrades" ;-)

eBay has them but I remember seeing one that held various Otterbox cases somewhere....
Mine snapped and the part that holds my phone broke... I'm also looking for a car dock myself.
I'll sell ya mine. PM me if yer interested. I never use it. It's in perfect condition.
I've also got a car dock I'll sell if anyone wants it. I hardly use it now and I'm moving to the city next week, so I really won't be needing it now.
I don't have the car charger, just the dock.
PM me if you want it.
Sent from Vera, my Iconia A500; All dressed up going places!
Are there car docks that have the right attachment for the outterbox defender case?
I have a Rocketfish mount I got at Best Buy for $10 that has the same style attachment point on it as the defender case. Bracketron also makes mounts with the same type attachment. You can get a variety of 'stalks' to mount the defender on.

No - it seems that Best Buy has switched to Bracketron for their universal GPS mounts. Search BB's site for 'universal gps mount'. You can find the rocketfish mounts on eBay - same search term.

Cheap and simple Frankenstein Car Mount

Just wanted to share this and didn't see it anywhere else. I had an old HTC Thunderbolt Car mount from iGrip using the PerfektFit system. I took off the phone portion and took a gamble on the suction mount piece being compatible with a cheap N7 car dock bought off of eBay (the mount holes looked the same, but the item description did not explicitly say PerfektFit compatibility). The two items paired nicely and has been very stable for me. It is also small and slim and did not require me to do any major changes to the car. The N7 mount only cost me $14 (search for "Dashboard Non Slip 360 degrees Stand Holder Car Mount for Google Nexus 7") and obviously, I already had the iGrip mount. You can get cheap iGrip mounts off of Amazon. Just search for "iPhone 4 iGrip" and you should find some for as cheap as $7 since the old models are being cleared out. So in total, this should cost about $20.
I was not sure if I could put links directly on this post. If I can, then I will update with direct links to what I used.
I've also attached some pics. I had it on the windshield at first but it was a bit to high for me, so I remounted it on the Dash instead. Worked perfectly for my needs.
Nice one, wanax, and welcome to the forum.
very cool. It looks like it will work well.
i will try that.
