[Q] Need a Car Mount works with seidio innocase ii?

Hello all,
I love my seidio innocase ii and holster combo. I am looking for a car mount that will work with the case and allow charging too. I went by VZW today and looked at their Incredible Case. As stated in the other thread you can't use any case with it. I purchased a OEM air vent car mount, but the charging socket is blocked unless you slide your phone up in the grips (the two grips have holes cut out in the middle). I don't really like this one because the release button is at the top behind the phone. Not this one, but very smiler http://tiny.cc/eahgk
I would like to find one that can turn 90 degrees with a ratcheting action that the car charger can work with.

Bright Idea
I'm thinking about cutting up an old leather belt and gluing a small loop of it on the dash so I can clip my Seidio case on it. I'll let you know how it works out.
Just kidding dbrown! I am seriously eying the universal holder from http://www.proclipusa.com/ which definitely covers the usb port but I'm picturing a hole or slot cut through the side to fix that. All the other universal stuff looks HUGE

Why go for a universal holder when they have one made specifically for the DInc? Unless you have other devices you are planning on using with this. I just don't like their mounting spots for my vehicle, too bad too =/.

We're looking for a holder that will work with the phone and case. I don't want to take the phone out of my case every time I need to mount it on the dash of my car.

I just got this:
amazon.com/gp/product/B003H92LSA/ref=oss_product
But I'm not satisfied with it. Cause to the short neck, The screen is head to the top of my head, and it's not very easy to get my phone on it.
Look for a better mount, still.

i've always used this gooseneck windshield mount from verizon.
you can find it by not specifying a phone under view all mounts..
Part #WINDMNT1
19.99
it fits most all phones ever made, plus cases.....
i have my inc in it tilted so i can access the touch screen keyboard...

i got a universal one from bestbuy and it works pretty good

I have one of these on the way. http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-hands-free-mount

I think that I would like to the get TETRAX XWAY to mount my DInc. Since I'm a new member I can't post links. Sorry.
I did see a nice video review and it seems like it would work perfectly because you can leave the phone in its case.

my friend got a car dock at the vzw store, the clip part the phone goes into is actually a removable belt clip. you can remove it from the car dock completely and put it all on your belt, pocket, whatever you wanna clip it to. however, there's no case involved in that package. i'm sure seidio has a case/clip you could mod to work with a similar product as i described first.

My plan is to get the car mount from htcpedia and the innocase holster for the Surface. Then either switch out the belt clips (hopefully), or just use my dremel on the innocase holster belt-clip to cut out the same as the mount's beltclip.
A little more expensive, but seems to be the best "factory-type" option I can come with.

I have one of these too, it's awesome! If you want a mount that doesn't stick on the windshield AND works with a case...this is the way to go.

Hello,
I really like the xway too, but not sure if it would work with the inocase II. The case has a ridge that runs down the length of the back of the case. I went with this..
http://bit.ly/9lOy6V. I got the sm410 and currently using the vent grip. Its a little big, but does put the dinc with arms reach if needed. And the power cord is not blocked.

try something from here

i have the air vent mount and it works great with any phone including my incredible.

Arkon Mega Grip - Give them a try.

I have the same one, picked it up from microcenter
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0281093
works well with my innocase active. but sometimes when you secure the dinc in place the mounts grips will press the volume button. its not too hard to position it in the middle of the rocker so it wont adjust it, and it not a problem once you have it set in there.
would buy again

I've tried several different mounts and haven't been happy with any, until now. I picked up a couple of the SoundGate M2 universal docks from wiredforless.com and could not be happier. The install was simple, once mounted it looks great and folds down into almost nothing. I don't know if it's still available, but I used discount code WOOT and got two of the mounts and shipping for $14.95.
AND, it works great with the Seidio case I have.
Great product, couldn't be happier.

i position the left clasps to the bottom and the right ones to the center.. that ensures the volume button doesnt get pressed.

You can switch out the belt clip on the car kit holster with the Seido clip, I've done it. Just tap out the pins in both clips, place the spring back in between the clip and the holster and tap one of the pins back in. Works like a charm. Now I'm trying to get all the audio and charging done with a modified 12 pin micro usb from the TV OUT cable.

I did reviews on these:

Highly recommend these and I use with my Seidio II.

Please Provide Car DOCKS

Can you guys post any highly rated car docks for this phone, im going to get in a ****en accident one of these days using my google nav.
thanks...best friends

I've ordered one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150533595603&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123
As soon as it turns up (ship to UK) i'll post a review.

i'm still using the same Generic Universal Car Dock since my HTC Athena times, until now
mine is Air Vent mounted, which is more secure
all the air suction for the windshield are not always working, over time it hardens and doesn't work anymore
lots of good choices from DealExtreme

I use this one that I posted in another car dock thread.

I almost bought that one, but I didn't like how it didn't have anything holding the Nexus S from the side. And I don't like windshield mounts. (Yes, I know it had a dashboard mount but I'll get to that in a second).
I ended up buying: http://tinyurl.com/63eh7wh
The windshield mount worked fine, has a little lever to push to generate suction and the hold is very strong. However, like I mentioned before, I don't like windshield mounts. Next step was to try the dashboard. Now, I don't know if it's because of the way my dashboard is shaped(curved, ratherthan flat) but the little stickypad thing never stuck. I ended up giving up on and settling for the air vent mount which works fantastic! Looks great, nothing obstructing my view, and the hold is almost as strong as the windshield. I'm very pleased.
On this mount, the USB port is not obstructed but the headphone point is. The bottom "legs" are also not adjustable.

Carmount
I just bought one of these from CarphoneWarehouse. It is a suction windscreen mount with an extra dashboard pad (plus double sided sticky pad) which I didnt use. The suction mount is pretty good. The extension that comes with it is too wobly though !
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Griffin-Win...XYJY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295539220&sr=8-1
The Google Nexus S fits nicely........

Just took delivery of one of these today, fit and build quality is excellent. Been using Brodit for years, to me nothing comes close.
Sorry.... as I'm new I can't post a link however Mobilefun in the UK do Brodit and had the passive holder in yesterday - sold out already I see.
Google (from UK) Brodit Nexus S and you should be able to get it from there.
Also maybe try DSL developments, I think they are the UK Importer.

I am also using this Arkon mount that BruceCLin recommended (thanks!) in landscape mode on my windshield. The mount is pretty sturdy with very little movement during driving. It has a very tight spring that keeps the phone clamped securely in place. This is temporary until ProClip comes out with a holder for the Nexus S.

The most sticky part of the dashboard part is in the middle. I have an '08 Civic and almost the whole dashboard is somewhat curved. I found a spot where it's flat, but the dashboard part doesn't cover all of it, just enough where all the stickiness in the center sticks to it and stays tight.
As for the legs, it is adjustable. I bought that exact same one you linked and got it today. You need to use some force to take those legs off or adjust it. I just took mine off since it was annoying to due where the ports were located.

Do any of these car docks swivel from vertical to horizontal??

Handlebar Mount?

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.

[Q] Best Car Mount?

I'm looking for a car mount that can replace my old N5's qi based charger. I have a curved/textured dashboard, it would be great if I can mount on that!
Thanks!

My old civic had a curved and textured dash and was incredibly difficult to find a suction mount that actually held.
Enter iOttie.
These mounts typically have a soft and sticky suction mount that will adhere to almost any surface. I picked up the "easy flex 2" which has served me well for a couple years without ever detaching.
Word of caution though, when trying remove the mount yesterday it took CONSIDERABLE effort to pry it from my dash as the sticky bottom of the suction cup had become so settled that it seemed glued to my dash. I eventually pried it off but not without leaving some marks on my dash which I do not know if they can be cleaned off. The most common complaint for iOttie seems to be this "super adhesion" and is worth considering before purchase.
Tons of their mounts are available on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=mobile&field-keywords=iottie
HTH!

Any idea if a magnetic mount will work on the 5X (as with the 5?)
Thanks!

I have an iOttie which works great. My new car has a weird curve to the windshield so I now use a CD player mount ballhead phone holder that works really well.

This! I love this mount and always recommend it to people who have a CD slot in the dash, as long as its not in an awkward position. It's centered, close, my old iOttie dash mount was leaving an imprint, and cooler temperature wise by not being in the windshield. The last one is important for me especially in the hot Florida sun.

I actually decided to order another one but this time the magnetic Snap 3 version. I realized that because the phone has both power and volume on one side, the cradle version would have to grip it lower than it does on my GS5. Kind of throwing it off centered while in landscape. I do like the idea of putting the mounting badge on the inside of a case to keep it more discrete.

I went with the Spigen mount... It works great on my current HTC One M7, but I have concerns with the buttons in the middle of the phone on the 5X. Will see this week...

I hadn't thought about that. Please update with how that goes. I still haven't pulled the trigger on it.

Ok, been using the Spigen mount over the past few days... Overall, I think it will be hit/miss for many. I started with the phone centered in the mount, which results in the volume buttons being in the 'clamp zone', the power button was not interfered with. I inserted/removed the phone several times. There was one time that I noticed the volume button was hit (showing the volume slider on screen), but it wasn't being held down. So, there will be instances when the volume (and maybe the power, depending on how you insert) can be bumped, but it doesn't appear that the mount design will keep the button pressed.
I then adjusted the phone so it was offset in the mount so that the volume/power were not interfered with. Made inserting the phone a bit awkward, but that is likely due to having a certain method of mounting the phone. I think I just need to re-learn the process and it will be fine. I was happy with the result because it actually moves the phone closer to me. I have had no issues hitting the volume keys with it offset, nor was there any issues with the stability of the mount with the phone like this.
So, YMMV, but I will continue to use the Spigen mount...

I bought a Spigen magnetic vent clip mount. Then I cut down a Ringke Slim case and mounted a plate behind it. Phone slips and the magnet holds the butchered case in place when installing and removing. If I am running a case I put a plate in between the phone and the case and place a piece of dryer sheet between the phone and the plate. Not the nicest but quite functional.

Car Mounts?

Does anyone know of any current or upcoming car mounts that would be good for this phone?
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).
https://www.amazon.com/WizGear-Universal-Swift-Snap-Technology-Smartphones/dp/B00PGJWYJ0/
Would rather not use this for the Note 8 as I know the glass is more fragile.

this is the best mount I've found so far. I use it with my s8+ and it's never fallen off.

If you don't mind giving up a cup holder this is the best mount I've ever used.

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

I am looking for one too. The metal plate will prevent wireless charging to work. I will certainly let you know when I find one.

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!

To me, the best mount is the Pro Clip. You need two pieces, the vehicle specific mount and the phone holder. I use a large universal since I change phones a lot.

I have recently bought the magnetic mount by Spigen. It allows me to adjust my Galaxy Note 8 in any direction with its 360 degree adjustable nature. Using this mount is proved very comfortable for me. Hence, I recommend it to you also.
