I just tried to mount my droid turbo ballistic with the ballistic flip case on my generic car mount, it seems to be too thick for it http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A5UFMK8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Is there any case that works well with turbo + flip case?
Flip case fits fine on the iBolt car mount. Also a great car mount in general.
Its the xpro dock that I use. Designed for large phones, works fine with small phones as well. (Except iphone 4 size)

That dock looks pretty nice. I wonder if any of the QI carging docks will fit phone with flip case.

Hey guys,
As awesome as silicon cases (the treated ones of course, not the sticky ones) may be, they're usually not very windshield mount friendly.
I was wondering if any of you has found a dashboard mount system that works with a silicon case such as http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=26975
cheers
I have flexishield and it doesnt work with the carkit I got from mobilefun it's a really nice carkit without case tho. just the holder is too small. I've seen people melt/sand down their car-kit holders tho.
Car kit for silicon case
the Navman iCN 510 or iCN520 or iCN530 cradle fits perfectly if you hav a silicon case.
Have a look
Are there any mounts out there that can hold my phone with the standard verzion silicon cover attached? I am looking for a compact car mount like the standard car mount that has the attachment similar to the holster attachment where it just snaps in. I do not want the kind that grips the phone on the sides. I also do not want to have to modify my phone in any way.
Thanks

Having the silicon cover on the phone pretty much precludes using any snap-in holder. If for no other reason that the silicon does not snap.
Further ruling out a mount that would grip the phone would leave only one alternative: a custom mount that the phone would slip into.
That is talking about a mount custom made for the DINC.
No such thing on the market.
Not enough profit margin, unless you would be willing to pay an awful lot of money (enough for the manufacturer to recoup development and production costs) for it.
Your answer is the Soundgate M2 car mount. Very minimalistic in the car and all you do is stick a thin disc on the back of any case or phone directly. Google it. Sticky doesn't ruin your car either. I had it on an BMW M5 attached to the leather dash and it came off clean. Solid too performance on bumpy roads too.

Yes I heard of that, and actually saw some photos of it on here. however I didnt want to have to glue something to my phone. especially since it has to keep going in my pocket. I suppose it depends just how thin it is. maybe its worth another look.
If I recall, the disc is metal and it is held on with a magnet? I wonder if I could stick the disc on the other side of my case so the back would be smooth
I had a Droid 1 and bought a SlipGrip OtterBox Car Holder. Search Ebay for it.
I now have an incredible with a seidio active case and it fits perfect. only this is you have to trim the bottom right piece to allow for the charger to plug in. It looks oem to me and much better than those "one size fits all" Car Mounts.
I have the HDMI docking station and it has a removable sleeve so that the extended battery or a case can be on the phone while docking. Does the standard case have the same capabilty?
I have a cheap ebay TPU case and it fits perfectly in there with the sleeve removed.
Not sure if you meant standard case or standard dock, but yes, the standard dock does have the removable insert for working with a case on the phone. Now all we need is a decent hard case that will actually fit in the docks... I'm not a huge fan of the silicone cases and I didn't have much luck with the incipio or the shell/holster fitting the car dock I'm sure they'll be coming soon enough.

I hate silicon cases also, have you ever tried TPU? Verizon sells one that they call High Gloss Silicon but it is a very firm molded case and nothing like silicon.

It is fit but no connection to charge the phone. I have tried TPU case in car dock and standard dock but both have problems with connection.
I have the shell/holster and I can get it to charge in the standard dock but the dock app will not launch. I usually just pop the shell off and let it charge that way at night. I do have the extended battery but the shell already accommodates that so it doesn't make a difference for the dock.
Side note: The audio output of the standard dock seems to work through the USB of the Bionic, it's not as loud as the headphone jack tho.

I have the shell/holster case also and it does fit and the dock apps do launch. There is a plastic filler that has to be removed in order to make the proper connection. This is a much better design from Moto than on the DX.

Does anyone know of a reasonably solid in-car holder that will grip the Note 2 while it has the official Samsung flip case on? I assume there isn't going to be one built for purpose so just need a reasonably strong universal one, presumably windscreen mount.
Anyone got a decent one they use that can hold the weight and size?

Just picked up the iOttie XL for my new-to-me Note 2, works great. Best quality car dock I've had yet. Fits the Note 2 with a Case Mate Tough Case just barely! I understand the Note 2 with an Otterbox Defender is too big for it, but it should be fine for your application.
Looks good, thanks, I'll give it a try

iOttie should work well, check out my review links in the signature. But keep in mind that if you planning to go later with Zerolemon battery or thicker case like Defender, iOttie side grips won't cut it.
Ram mount x grip will work.

self mod
I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I mod this myself. I use two 1 inch rubberband and a rubber case where i cut along the side, top, and bottom.
I don't know why the picture is upside down when I uploaded
Rocketfish makes a decent mount that will fit a Note II with an Otterbox Defender. The contact points are flexible rubber, and seem like they'd securely grip any case. It comes with both suction and vent clip mounts, I've been very happy with it.

I have tried a few car mounts for this giant phone, but any mount made for the 'turbo' doesn't work when the otterbox defender is installed.
anyone have any luck with a mount that works well?
I got one for you... These fit on your cd slot and are magnetic, so all you need is to install a small steel plate on the back of your case (or the inside if you will). There is a version of it that will hold iPads and tablets, so you should be good with the bulk.

I bought one myself and installed the little steel pad on the reverse side of my case (slim TPU case) its awesome cause there's no hastle, and you can fit it horizontal, vertical, diagonal, whatever.

I have used ram mount for my droid turbo with an otterbox commuter for over 6 months now. They're so simple to use and you can use them with other phones also. They're a little more pricey but worth it in my opinion. Also great if you ride a bike as you can get different mounting base to swap it over. I believe mine was cheaper on amazon but did all my looking on their website there.
