Does anybody know a perfect fitting car craddle, like the original from LG for the P970?
Brodit is thinking about to release a cradle. So just email them that you also want a cradle, maybe this helps
Just mail to: [email protected]
why not a universal craddle?
i bought a new specific craddle after changing the mobile.
now i try this one:
Clingo Universal Vent Mount
after 4 weeks, i like it.
sorry, can't post outside links.
You can also use the craddle for the galaxy nexus from Brodit , fit 100%
Best regards,
Christian
Thanks for your replys, both are worth to take a closer look to it.

The Clingo doesn't work because it needs an even surface. The back of the 4X is uneven.
I think I give the Galaxy Nexus cradle a try if its available on Amazon. Thanks.
Looking at the pics of the Brodit for the Galaxy Nexus it looks like the Nexus has a curved base. Surely that won't fit? I want to be sure before spending £35 on one!

Can you post some pictures? I'm interested in the way how this works with the uneven surface of the back of the phone.
later or tomorrow. (i am at work by bike)

Thanks for the pictures - but I prefer a fixed installation and no window holder.

Searching at Brodit for the holder the search shows two models:
Item no 511324
Passive holder with tilt swivel - Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250
Item no 511331
Passive holder with tilt swivel - Samsung Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515
Which one is the right one?
Thanks,
Sebastian
I bought this one - Samsung ECS-K2
I just bought a Clingo, and put a screw through the base of the ball-socket part to secure it to my Brodit base in my car!!
It holds it quite far out though, tomorrow I think I'll saw the ball-socket's arm down a bit and put a screw into the middle of it from the back of the Brodit plate.
Works well on the textured rear of the 4x, but with the Nillkin cover it did keep falling off, I guess it's a funny slightly rubbery finish

It is the one for the Nexus GT, 511324
Thought I'd show a pic of my Clingo, modified by cutting off the ball-joint and screwing it to my Brodit base. (it was far too far out when I screwed the whole ball-joint arm on, and was knocked with every gear-change.
I just used my carkit I had for my SGS2, fits perfectly..

Wombat - Was it a Brodit? Active? (with charger) or just the 'passive' holder?
I was going to buy one as the 4x is only 2mm wider, and was contemplating dremelling it out a bit!! Would love to know if it fits as it is!
Thanks for the pic. Looks really cool!

All buttons exposed and accessible...
Update: nothing written on the mount but phone holder says haicom gps ... if that helps

I recently bought a car mount for my note 2 which fits in the air vents of my car, from 'invent'. Despite what they said on the web store, it does not fit my note 2, so I get my money back, no worry about that. But does anybody know of an alternative that will fit the note 2? I specifically want an air vent solution, so others will not do.

Isn't the phone a bit heavy for venting? Any vent mounts I've ever used cause the vent to roll down and put the phone at an awkward and unusable angle.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
No need to re-invent the wheel I have been using for years Arkon Mega Grip mount and been using it for the last year with my Note 2 (also Slim Grip Ultra works great, check it out in my review, in my signature link below).. It also comes with a very sturdy air vent mount. Though I don't use it in air vent, sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for: http://arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-windshield-vent-mount.html
What's totally cool with it, it has universal ball-joint mount so you can use it with other mounts as well.
IOTTIE! it's 10, better than any other mount and it will hold many other phones too. It's universal but sold as for the note II and s4. It'll fit most big phones.
You can stick it anywhere and it won't fall, you can also rotate it completely in any direction you want.
It's not vent mounted, but why do you want that? Theres a million better places for it.

Have you tried solution from Brodit?
On their site you can just select type of your phone and your car and the configurator will find all versions they have for your combination.

iOttie is good, but doesn't work well at all with Zerolemon battery. Trust me, I tested and reviewed them all (check out my signature link). Slim Grip Ultra is the only universal that fits everything up to Note 2/3 and 7"/8" tablets and it will hold a heavier phone even with ZL battery.

I have this and works really good, should fit anything phabet sized even with bulky casing. While I had read reviews that it sticks on any flat surface but I hadn't tested its strength, it has been on my windshield for more than 6 months and never fall off on its own.

It is very interesting and perhaps finally right for me, I can only use the dashboard rough, please let you do tests to see if it really holds on a rubberized surface and rough? and a secure link? would not buy his fake.

I have no idea about the problems people had, it has been in my car for a while and still working great. I live in an asian country that has hot climate through out the year with my car always parked under the sun, so i'm not sure if its the hot wheather.
Does anyone know of a good handlebar mount for bicycles or motorcycles? The ones i find on Amazon don't have any reviews, so i was just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience.
I haven't find any reviews on this topic. I used to bave a Samsung S65 bicycle handlebar, but the whole thing was wrong. This didn't meet my expectations. I suggest You a DIY concept, if You have the time and skills to do it.
Nite Ize
Nite Ize HandleBand. You can find it on Amazon (sorry it won't let me post a link)
Thanks for the input guys. I'll have to check out the Handleband. Thanks to the cold lately, I haven't been too rushed to find one, but I'd definitely like to get one set up before spring.
On my old original droid, I had a handlebar mount that was made specifically for it, and it was great. But since then, I haven't seen many phones with a mount made specifically for them.

I use this one with my HTC EVO 4G LTE and I have the [email protected] coming and will use it as well on my Buell Ulysses.
It is super sturdy, and tons of mount options...

Does that have an adjustable height? It doesn't look to be tall enough for the g2
I've been using one of these in my car for over a year now (with a Galaxy Nexus) and it's great. I'd imagine the handlebar mounted holder would work just as well. Currently have an Otterbox Commuter and it fits perfectly with the car mount I got from them.

The slip grip looks pretty awesome. I have an incipio case rather than an otter box, but I may get the otter box so I can try that out. Thanks for the link
What I've been using is a universal "Spider Podium" off eBay/amazon for $7. Just a rubberized spider with legs you can bend however you'd like, great as a tablet stand also.
Is the spider podium pretty secure on a road bike? It looks like it would be a good option if it holds tight. Does it not easily slide or roll over on the handle bar?

I haven't received my G2 yet, I have my HTC EVO 4G LTE in it with a Seidio case. The lower arms are spring loaded to keep tension on the claws.
You can go to RAMS website and check all the mounts. I have 3 different mount for my bike. I can carry the Nexus 7 for GPS or my cell or both depending on my needs.
We used these in the military and I trust my equipment in them.
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.

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 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).

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:
http://www.craigsdocks.com/
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!
