A simple and effective wall mount for the Nexus 7 is pushpins. I use three of them (right, left, bottom) and the Nexus 7 fits perfectly in the little notch that the pins have. When setting it up make sure to use a level and that the pins don't block the charging outlet. I use it to hold my nexus 7 on the wall next to my bed while using the daydream to clear space off my nightstand and on the wall in front of my treadmill to watch stuff when I run.
Hopefully this helps someone looking for a cheap wall mount for their nexus 7.
Great idea
Good idea mate, this could come in handy for many poeople.
Great to see you contributing

Has anyone picked one up yet? Are you waiting for the official one to be released? Thoughts..
By the way, the Nexus 7 has been great for me so far.:good:
Are there docks available now? Can't find any on amazon or ebay

I'm waiting for one making use of the 4 pins on the side of the tables so you just put it down, no need to plug microusb in or anything.

The N7's charging slot is flipped around so be careful when purchasing docks that aren't made specifically for the N7.

If anyone gets this dock, let us know if you are able to flip the usb connection around. Also sound quality.
Edit: From the looks of the manual, the usb cord can be moved. This looks like an option. I too would like to see one that makes use of the pogo pins. Soon maybe.

One immediate problem with it and the Nexus is you couldn't use it in portrait mode, the audio connector needs to plug in at the bottom.

uuhh no you can't, look at the size of the connector with its strain relief (5th picture), no way you can plug that in and have it sit under the N7.
It looks like the droid4 oem moto car dock attaches to the base with a ball joint. Can someone who has one disassemble it (should just be able to unscrew the tightening ring) and measure the diameter of the ball?
Also, can you post some pictures of the dock from the back? It's possible that the dock clips onto the ball somehow, rather than having that part built-in. I'd like to know that if possible.
I'd like to put together a permanent installation dock for my wife's d4 for christmas, but I can't find any pictures of the back to see how this hooks up. So I have no idea what adapter to buy.
Alternatively, anyone have any luck with any other docks (d4-specific if possible, I hate those big ugly universal clamp docks) and can tell me how those mount?
Thanks in advance
I have a RAZR car dock... should be about the same I'll take some pictures for you when I get home as its in my wifes car...

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I see it never got an answer.
Almost all of these phone/gps mounts use 17mm as the standard ball size.
Yeah I didn't even bother measuring as I never got a reply from the pics...

I really liked the fact the dock could do audio out and charge via the pogo pins, so I figured that would be perfect in the car. When I got the dock, I couldn't find a good spot to mount it....until now. The completed setup works awesomely!
All you need for this project is a metal bookend and some JB weld.
Bookend
Dock attached with JB Weld
Piece removed from the cover bezel
Wires fed to where the back of the dock will be
All I did here was wedge the bookend between the radio and dash kit, and then attached the cables for power/audio
BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE!!!!

What's so bad about it? At least I don't have to plug anything in or butcher my nexus like most "clean" installs.

I don't see anything wrong with it, it looks clean to me. There isn't any damage or anything sticking out...

Nice ... as long as you do not drive ..
Works fine when driving. The pins actually make better contact if the tablet is pushed slightly forward, so I bent the vertical part of the bookend to keep it slightly forward. Plus the rubber on the rear of the nexus making contact with it seems to create enough friction to keep it from popping up.
WARNING: Turn down your volume.
Good to know this works. I was planning on doing something a bit similar, but slowly building it up to be cleaner in the end. The dock will be an integral part, though.
Do you have any trouble keeping the tablet charged? I know people have no problems if they use one of the recommended chargers from the charger thread, but I wasn't sure if the dock may hinder or slow down charging any.
Awesome! Thanks man

Well I have it set to keep the screen awake while charging, so it does still drain the battery. It really isn't bad though. Barely goes down. The speed of the charging seems equivalent to charging via usb connection, rather than the wall charger.

I get really bad sound distortion using the tablet with the dock in the car, did you have the same issues?

Sorry for not responding for so long. I did have a bit at first when going over bumps, but over time it stopped. I think it's because the pins springy-ness calmed down over time. Also, the bookend helps keep the tablet from moving, because the rubber backing of the tablet makes contact with it and keeps it from too much. So over time, this setup has ended up working perfectly.
I have the same setup. Do you constantly have to enable media output to dock? When I start mine up each time I have to go into the sound settings and fix this.

I'm looking to find a car mount that can charge qi and hold the phone with magnets, I found one that sits in the CD tray but it doesn't have wireless charging. Wonder if I could use that nexus charger and somehow stick it to my dash. Here is the one without the charger

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
People have had varying levels of success with the air dock, which sticks via a sticky foam. So if you absolutely want magnets, then that won't work but otherwise it might. I ordered the air dock to see if it works, and I also have a d brand skin on the way if the naked back doesn't work, hopefully the carbon skin will stick.

Check in with these guys.

I have the original and it sort of works without a case. But doesn't hold well. I have my hopes for the 2.0 version. Version 1.0 was awesome with my Nexus 5.
I'm using this and while it works getting the Nexus 6 into it is a little more work than just slapping my phone on the airdock.

The Air Dock has both the sticky "foam" and magnets. Always has. Version 2 is coming out & has a built-in NEFC chip as well. Well made product that does what is designed to do.
