Car mount suggestions?

I am looking for a windshield (suction cup) car mount solution that will charge my Sprint Touch while in the mount/cradle but does not have a built in speaker. My car has bluetooth integrated so I don't need the hands free capability.
Also, my main purpose for the mount will be to run navigation software so I would like the ability for the mount to easily rotate 90 degrees for horizontal or landscape mode.
I've been looking around online but I must be looking in the wrong places...
thanks in advance.

not exactly suction cup window mount, but I use one of the magnetic mounts for mine in my truck. it holds it in place nicely, maintains access to the charging port, can be turned however you want it, and the metal plate on the back is thin enough to not interfere with putting it in and taking it out of the belt holster. if you have a pilot truck stop near you, they sell a nice magnet mount there.

not really aware of any truckstops near my area... kind of looking for something i could order online. thanks for input though

Windshield Mount
I bought one off ebay that mounts to the windshield using a suction cup then you just plug your standard car charger into it. Like this.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CAR-MOUNT-D...hash=item170237255037&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318

In the pictures, it looks like the charging port would be covered..

No, The bottom has prongs on the left and right. The center is open to plug in the charger. This thing does tend to rattle though when the phone isn't in it. It works great with the phone in it.

I just bought this, received it on monday.
http://www.buygpsnow.com/HAiCOM-Cus...-Nova--T-Mobile-MDA-Touch--Dopod-S1__946.aspx
It is so solid. I live in PA, which has some of the worst potholes you can imagine. So far it has not budged, with the phone in it or not. It does landscape really nice as well as vertical.

qwho, how does the HIACOM mount and what does it mount to?
kenper, does that suction cup stay attached pretty well? I'd hate to see my Touch go crashing to the ground... I'd probably cry.

I think i'm gonna get the one QWHO has for 2 reasons. It looks alot less bulky and it is custom made to fit the touch. So what did you end up getting?

It's a not suction cup but I have one in my car and truck. It swivels for everything you will need. You will need to but a mount off the website as well for your particular vehicle.

Yea, I think I am going to try the one QWHO listed as well.. It's reasonably priced and is apparently sturdy. Wish I could find a mount that had an integrated charger (so that I wouldn't have to plug the phone in seperately of the mount).
Anyone see a mount like that, similar to say an ipod dock?

I bought this....and at 5.00 I was really suprised...it bends to the shape I want, holds extremely well, and has padded sides. Plus, because it has a ratched style holder, it actually will hold other phones. My touch fits like a glove and it makes GPS navigation great! I highly recommend this holder..

Buyer beware folks...
I have my touch for about a month. I bought a gooseneck windshield mount on ebay and it is already broken....the bendable metal broke off.
I am currently going for another type without the gooseneck, probably the Haicom

Just wondering for people who own this. Hows the accessability to the plug on the bottom of the phone, do the legs get in the way?

I ordered one of these on ebay:

It's cradle style so the charger is built in. Rotates either way without much effort, and stays in place well. I believe the model number is htchol012.

Yes the one I posted was a suction cup one. Still works great. In fact I was recently in a car wreck, hit on the front right side, opposite of where I had it mounted. Didn't budge! Don't worry, I'm ok.
For charging, I actually plugged in a car cigarette port extender to a 120v socket converter, which my wall charger for my phone is plugged into, all under my seat. I then ran the charger cord up the insulation in the door and it comes out of a seam right by my phone's mount. It is pretty clean and works really nice. So even though it doesn't have a built in charger in the mount, it now works like one if I want it to.

I bought two of those back in the spring - one for the car, and one for my desk. Plenty of room for the USB, so synch/charging is fine. It's very solid, quite flexible, and easy to rotate.
I went this route for my desk, because I couldn't justify the expense of a cradle (I can plug-in the USB myself), and since I use MyMobiler, I really don't 'touch' the screen while it's docked.
DealExtreme isn't the fastest (everything ships from Hong Kong), but they've got good prices, and I've had good luck with everything I've purchased.

Try Scoche, i think thats how it is spelled. I just picked up one from walmart earlier today. They are on clearance right now. There are 2 models that are 20.00 a pieces. One is a suction cup , got longer flex neck , and the other one has a base where you would put in in your cup holder + it came with stickies to stick it to something. It works pretty good. Get it while they still have them. They are located in the GPS section ni walmart.
oh yeah, I got the one with the base that goes into the cup holder.

Docks

I will need to switch to Verizon within the next few months (due to work reasons). I am currently using a Nexus One on TMobile and plan to get the Droid Incredible on Verizon when I switch.
I am waiting patiently for root access to be gained but also had some other concerns before switching. A main concern is that I have not heard mention of car/home docks for the device.
I currently own the car and home docks for the Nexus One and use them regularly. I am hoping the Incredible will also have a nice docking system like this.

I need a dock and a car mount, too! I have to ask, but does N1 stuff work with DI?

no.........

I just purchased a general use windshield mount from best buy which works pretty well on the Incredible.

I would suggest ProClipUSA they offer a wide variety of windshield mounts and you can just swap out the device holder if you carry more than one item with you or you change phones often.

This issue, for me, is not holding the device. I like having a car dock like the Nexus One because it provides integrated charging functionality. I do not want to fiddle around with an extra adapter and plugging in my device. I want to be able to drop my device into the dock and have it do what I want it to do
Also, the N1 car dock launches Car Home upon docking. Just perfect.

I got a factory windshield mount today.
It's pretty slick. It's a clip in, belt holder, but the back of it allows it to mount to the neck of the window piece.
There's even a cutout in the holder so you can videos while you drives

that also allows you to use street view with augmented reality in Google Maps, but your right, it makes for a great use to take car video
i don't know if augmented maps is available in the US just yet though
see augmented reality example below:

That would be perfect if a charger was built in.

It's not, unless there's a side manual plug in type port!

Currently own the car dock mentioned in the thread, not overly impressed with it, but maybe I didnt bother to take the time to make it work. Came from the droid dock, which went where you put it and stayed there, especially helpful for when you have to plug it in. This dock has 3-4 articulated points that dont work so hot, then the fact that its actually a holster "attached" to the actual dock through a quarter inch piece of plastic adds another element of instability to the system. Tightening the joints does not help much, the holster clip still rotates freely and overall makes plugging the phone in while docked a major pain, in most cases requiring both hands to hold the phone still enough to plug it in. The window mount also leaves something to be desired, after dumping my incredible on the floor for the 3rd time, I gave up on the thing. I know how to apply suction mounts and this one falls well short, maybe I just got a bad one or something, but it will not stay on the windshield while the weight of the phone is on it. Overall, threw it away because I wanted just a car dock, if I wanted a holster I would have bought a holster. If it had been incorporated into the mount in a better way to give more stability to the dock I would be alright with it.

The belt clip, to me, is a huge feature. Don't need it? you just leave it clipped to the window mount.
I'm on the other side of the fence... to me it works great, has never fallen off my window, and has been very stable! It's better than the motodroid dock imho (sans the sideways orientation via magnets that the DI lacks).
When one comes out that has a charging port that you can dock to, I'm getting it! Isn't seidio working on one? Maybe it was another company?

You guys might want to try one of those universal grip holders. I don't really care for things hanging off my windshield, so I had an arkon SM429-SBH mega grip attached to the arkon air vent mount and it worked out really good with my G1. I tried putting my friend's Incredible in there and it fits, no blocked ports. they have a windshield mount too, if that's your thing.

So far all of the Incredible docks suck.
Unfortunately there is no car or home dock for the Droid Incredible that is nearly as good as the docks for the Nexus One. This is a sad fact of Incredible ownership.
It seems that iPhones get the best accessories.

I have a similar mount I bought on ebay (here), and while it works, the phone sits completely vertical, 90 degrees to the desktop. Not a very comfortable viewing angle, lol. I may get one of those like you bought, as it looks like it's held a bit better than the stand I have. I definitely don't mind plugging the phone in, as I have to do it anyway...
As for car docks, there is one company who has a powered doc. Proclip has this mount, but you have to purchase the attachment point for your vehicle seperately, and the price rolls up pretty fast (for my truck, it was 109 before shipping, so I'm holding off on it for now). Nice thing is though that you can buy a version of it that wires into the vehicle, so you can hide the cabling a bit better than the chargers we use now.
I'm going to try to get some pictures of my desktop mount today or tonight, but I think it's going to require some modification to make it work how I wanted it to.

Galaxy Note 2 Car Mount ? W/Electronics?

Hello all,
I know, not another car mount thread.... Well here's the scoop, like a good boy I read through every other thread I could find and it seems like there really isn't a good car mount that can hold the Galaxy Note 2, nor are there any that have charging cables or stereo out cables.
Is this true or is there a mount that can truly hold the GN2 (even with a case?) that might have charging / audio out capabilities? I just am looking for something rock solid that at least holds the darn phone in place on my dash.
I know that there are 2 mounts - one out there by Samsung (and their distributor) as well as the Iottie (link below) but both have a lot of reviews claiming that the phone really doesn't fit and isn't held in well by the mounts.

Merlins beard!!!!! JACKPOT!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Well, for suction cradle I went for the Exogear Exomount 2.
For stand-plug cradle I went for Capdase RacerMount.
Both hold my Note2 with case snugly.
I can even find interesting friction mounts for up to 7".
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

i honestly love the iottie one, even with the folio flip cover from samsung. phone is held nice and snug, and the suction cup on it is none like I've ever seen. so god damn sticky that its like its 'glued' on but not. grips to any surface

I have the iottie and I think its awsome. The suction cup is amazing and will stick to pretty much anything, dash, console, wall of living room. Its impressive. Alittle 2 sticky when your trying to move it. It is also very flexable to the positoning that is available. It also will hold the device with any case or shell you can put on it. And the quick latch function is nice also... I highly recomend and like this mount

I have iOtttie as well. Yes, it's a real PITA get off the dash or windowshield. It's open enough that you have full access to all the ports. I've even recorded video with GN2 while in the dock.
Here's a crap video I shot with the GN2 in the iOttie dock:
you can see the section cup holder for the dock in the bottom right corner. The other upper left suction cup holds the satellite radio dock. Everyone wants to listen to NFL radio, LOL. Too bad I had the flash on, might have been able to see the van laying on it's side.

Does the Iottie allow for too much stress on the charging port?

Thanks buddy - I just bought the iottie - looks good n sturdy.
Another FYI - I had the Exogear mount previously, I wouldn't recommend it as the rubber pieces that "grip" your phone fall off after a couple of months .

Proclip Charging dock?
Hey guys, has anyone tried the Proclip car dock for this phone? I'm trying to figure out if it's USB 4 or 5 pin, so as to support audio and charging on one cable, I figured I just find an OTG cable to then plug into that and go from there.
Sorry about the URL workaround, seems that I need to post 10 times before being able to put an actual URL in, which is lame, so just replace the "DOT" with an actual "."

Slim-Grip® Ultra Car Mounts for Smartphones & Tablets

Well, a little late to this thread but I just got the ProClip unit for the Note 2 that works with the Otterbox Defender case. This is the second ProClip unit I've had. The first being for the EVO 4G. The phone fits into the holder perfectly but you might have to wiggle it around to get it to sit right.
The unit that holds the phone without a case may fit easier.
The one thing with the unit for the EVO 4G was it didn't put it into car mode. I found the unit for the Note 2 also doesn't go into car mode but I have been reading where that might be a problem with phone itself.

Car Mount for Droid Turbo

So how about how awesome this phone is!
Got a sweet car mount for it, and I'm loving being able to map for hours without the battery being dead afterwards!
The car mount is from amazon, a brand called TechMatte. I'm a huge fan of techmatte- since I got my car charger from them a year and a half ago (which still works perfectly, and charges rapidly (even though now I dont really have to lol)) All you need for this car mount is a flat surface on your dash, or you just put it on your windshield (if that's cool with the police where you live).
Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick shoutout to a mount that is pretty reasonably priced, and works pretty darned well.
Oh, and for the record, my husband uses an iOttie one, and I personally like the TechMatte better. Personal preference

Thanks for the recommendation. I wasn't sure where to mention this but for the ProClip fans, they are making a custom mount for the Droid Turbo although it's not specifically designed for the ballistic nylon version.

This is a quality car mount: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HRKI5V2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I currently have the Proclip in my Nissan Altima and this time I went with the iOauto magnetic holder. So far it's working great! I'm using the incipio case, and I just have the metal tab on the back. Some may not like this aesthetic, but I'm fine with it. I also believe it would have no problem sticking to the back of my Ballistic Nylon since the tab comes with a very sheer yet easily secured sticky film to put over the disc.
The disc locks into place on the base and I can rotate and tilt without issue. No amount of rough driving or vibration has knocked it loose unlike my last experiment which seem to slide off with any virbration...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DPMNNUO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also the above item cause me to not be able to use my wireless charger, but the disc from iOauto does not block wireless charging. I have it situation a few mm below the camera and dead center. The wireless charger I'm using:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NBPHHES/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So as long as you don't mind having a very small very thin metal disc on the back of your phone I would highly recommend the ProClip/iOauto solution. Especially if you want to use a case or a bumper. (when will we get a nice bumper anyway?)

I ended up going with this version (http://www.amazon.com/Koomus-CD-Eco-Universal-Smartphone-Samsung/dp/B00JP0RTB4/ref=pd_sim_cps_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SVJ5T5XZQ43ZRKFT94F since it sounded like the depth of the mount on the other one might be an issue. So far having good experience with it. A little vibration using a grip at the bottom 1/3 of my phone but not too bad.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/bracket...lack/8762788.p?id=1202650710539&skuId=8762788 I use this. I like a mechanical mounting system so it's secure, and this really holds your phone in place. Plus side, can be used for pretty much any phone regardless of size and its very strong. Downside, sits on a vent so during the winter you have to keep that one closed otherwise the phone gets blasted with hot air.

I don't think I understand why people use car mounts so much... I mean I guess if you are using a maps app or something, but other than for that, I see no reason to have one. Am I missing something?

I always keep Waze up when I'm driving, to get traffic and police alerts.

For car mounts- I have the iOttie One Touch car mount. It worked really well for me for about a month and a half, but after that the suction cup stopped working.... So I'm on the market for a new one. But I do agree with OP, this phone is great.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I use my phone for both navigation on trips, plus I listen to Slacker Radio through BT connected to my cars entertainment system. I like to have a car mount that puts the phone in easy to reach and easy to see without having to take my eyes off the road for long. I too prefer the ProClip option, though currently they only offer the mount for the standard Turbo, not the Ballistic Nylon 64gb version. Right now, I will have to deal with a universal mount until ProClip develops the one for the ballistic nylon Turbo.

Logitech [+]trip and [+]drive mounts?
Has anyone tried these with the BN model? I tried one in Best Buy with the dummy phone but I have no idea if the dummy's have more metal than the real deal.
FWIW, the dummy model attached extremely well to the [+]drive but the [+]trip was pretty weak.

I've not found one I like yet. I had having things on my vents, and on the window is not a solution for us here in Arizona as our phones overheat in just a few mins up there. Driving a Prius and using a dashmat leaves me in a place where I am going to just need to just make my own. Velcro, suction cups, and doublesided tape do not work in the heat here as well.
While some of the mounts here you guys listed here are nice, doesn't the magnetic ones mess up the compass in the GPS, or it does not matter since it is really pulling info from the satalites?
One last thing, for us using cases such as Otter Boxes I bet some of those mounts would not work. When I get my mount done I'll post some pics.

About the gps-- the magnet should not alter anything... you're thinking of the boy scout compasses. Those would be messed up, not your phone

My techmatte fell off for the first time today. I've had it for a few months now, and with the chill, it finally fell off. Pretty long duration. I will reapply when it gets a little warmer out.

The charger is the QiStone+ , really cool portable wireless charger.

Interesting setup. Did it come with the mount or did you buy that separately?

Bought it separately, here's a link if you're interested.
i.Trek Universal Dashboard Mount with Built-In Holder (Black) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007PSPQ7W/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_DTENub1Z0TFPW

So it holds both the qistone and the phone without any movement at all? Looks snug on both in your pictures. I have been trying to figure out what to put in my car and this looks to be perfect!

Yupp, it's been working fine for me, but I would recommend using a thin case or no case at all with the Turbo, because our QI chip kind of sucks compared to the other phones I have. It takes awhile to get them both in the position where it works but once I figured out what angle to keep the QiStone in, sliding the phone in is pretty quick now.

Thanks for the info. Just placed my order for the qistone+ and the dash kit! Freaking stoked!

Nice. I've added a couple shims to get everything fitting better. You'll probably have to adjust a bit too depending on what case you use. By the way, I just tried it without a case and it wouldn't line up properly. Just letting you know.

So my wife got me a solar power charging brick.works pretty good. I would that with the qistone would give you unlimited portable charging. Just a though.

I'm looking to put this setup in my car as well, how thick is the case you're using? I couldn't find any dimension specifications online. I'm rocking a puregear clear naked, wireless charging works fine through the case. I'm probably going to rock a Himbox HB01 bluetooth adapter so my setup is totally wireless.
Would you recommend a different mount than the i.Trek now that you've got it all wrapped up? Thanks for doing the hard part, Josh!

Thanks for the interest man. Honestly I would hold off until the AirDock 2.0 at this point. It's $85 at indiegogo, shipping in April. Really sleek QI magnet dock that has NFC built-in as well.
The setup I have here cost me roughly the same. The advantage of what I did is that the QiStone is a portable QI battery pack. It's useful for me because I have a Moto 360 as well. I was working off that when I made this setup, so if you're looking to use the QiStone than the design of the i.Trek is probably the only solution. I had to use a couple of shims i glued on for the Turbo to fit right.
I don't know if there's another dock with the same type of design as i.Trek, but I would check it out. What you want to look at is the grooves in the dock, where the devices will sit. If you can find one with closer grooves, get that. It's a little finnicky with the i.Trek if you don't do some DIY to get the charger and the phone close enough, especially considering it's getting bumped around.
The thinner the case the better I would think, but as long as it's thin enough to charge, you can customize the fit on the dock the way I did. The main problem with that is that the Turbo's Qi chip seems significantly weaker than other devices I've had. So you have to get it lined up perfectly with the QiStone.
I would take pics of it now but I don't have the Turbo anymore, switched to a N6.

Awesome! I had no idea there was an Air Dock 2.0 coming out, fortunately my i.Trek and Qistone+ haven't shipped yet so I went ahead and cancelled my orders.
Can't thank you enough for steering me toward that direction, I can't wait 'til April. I almost went the Nexus 6 route as well, but eventually flaked due to how inconvenient Verizon made it . Big is beautiful, and I bet you'll be looking forward to the Nexus 6 version whenever it drops.

Glad I saw your post in time. Between the N6 and the Turbo, I actually think the Turbo is the better phone. It's obviously a more manageable size, the battery lasts longer, the signal was great, and that screen is so goddamn sharp. Lollipop is buggy so I'm glad Verizon has held the Turbo to KitKat for the mean time. I just missed root, roms, and kernels too much so I had to make the switch.
I'm excited for that AirDock though, looks really sweet.

I would love to be able to mount the Airdock 2.0 onto my ProClip. Should be able to engineer a way

This has been a most illuminating thread! Thank you all for your input, I'm going to do some engineering myself now.....

I actually own the Air Dock 1.0, and it also has that combination of anti-slip/magnetic holders. I use it everyday. Holds just fine. I do use the phone without a case, so I can't speak of how it works with a case. I'd be concerned the magnets wouldn't grip unless you put a metal piece in-between the case and phone, then I don't know if it would mess up the QI charging capability.
I did back the AirDock 2.0. I wonder if they but stronger magnets in it. I know they improved the QI circuitry. I'm curious to see how much better it actually is.
