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 !

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??
I have an otterbox and I have been looking for a car mount but none of them are big enough to hold the phone inside the otterbox. Does anybody have any suggestions.

Car Dock
I just got an HTC One M8 & also needed a new car dock. I got the iBolt dock from amazon that is universal. I will work with most phones, and ANY case.
Here's the link from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-xProDoc...&sr=8-3&keywords=iBolt+Universal+HTC+Car+Dock
The USB cord is reversible so you can have it on the left side, or on the side of a phone. I've had it for almost 3 weeks now & I love it!
Mountek nGroove is dead simple, and can hold just about any smartphone in any case.
As long as your CD slot is in a decent spot (to see the phone will navigating, etc.) and don't use it for CDs, this is a elegantly simple solution. It install in seconds, not sensitive to falling off like suction cups, and I've used it on a variety of rental cars while travelling (although a couple cars I've rented did not have good CD slot placement, such as low and the mount blocked the gearshift).
The nGroove even has a tension adjustment for the ball joint. As most any such joint will loosen over time and become useless without such an adjustment.
http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Phones-Devices/dp/B004G1L52Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424794208&sr=8-1&keywords=cd+slot+phone+mount

That is an interesting solution. Does it vibrate very much while driving and can the whole thing rotate to landscape? The reason I need the rotate function is I use polarized sunglasses and when my phone is in portrait I can barely see the screen.

Any of the mounts vibrate some, at least the ones I've used. In my view, anything that juts or sticks out from the dashboard or windshield is going to shake a little from road vibration. But the Mountek nGroove doesn't vibrate much, and not in a way that effects its function or viewing the screen (such as for navigation).
The mount is on a ball joint, which easily changes from landscape to portrait orientation and vice versa. The ball joint also has a tension adjustment (that you turn with an object like a coin) so you can vary how loose or tight the ball joint movement feels.
Overall, a very slick, simple, yet well though-out solution. And at $20, you don't really have much to lose in trying it, either.
The only (slightly) negative comment I have on the Mountek nGroove, is that the dust flap or bristles that protects/seals your CD slot might (probably) get deformed over time (and it states this in the instructions). In fact on my car, the CD slot dust flap is a felt-like material, and the nGroove actually tore the material is 2 spots due to the way the clamping action works. But the nGroove is always in the CD slot, so I don't really care. Just something I (barely) noticed when I take the mount out.
Well, I'm not sure if you've found your solution already, but I have a tech matte vent car mount from amazon, and that's a pretty good mount.

This is what I use. I just swapped the suction cup for a screw in mount with a flat back and dual locked it to my dash to keep it off of my windshield.
I have this type.
http://www.brodit.com/brodit.html?pn=home
It's the best holder because It charge your phone and you have a free slot in your 12V because it's connected to car battery.
@ KeithN
I used the 14" flexible aluminum cylinder that bolts to the floor. You remove the corner seat bolt, put the thing on, and replace the bolt. Easy peasy and doesn't rattle.

Scosche magic mount. Love that thing. I was a bit leery of trusting a magnet to hold my phone, but it holds very well, even in the super bouncy cab of a tractor-trailer.

been using this one since I got my M7. Never even had to remove it to place it again Really, it's a great accessory.
This new mount from Spigen is the best car mount I've ever seen. Mount it right behind the steering wheel and you have a heads up display just below the windshield, at least on the Mazda 3. Perfect.

It's good but could be better. The sticker on it sucks for the windshield in hot weather. I replaced it with 3m tape.
Car Rental
Would this work well for someone who is looking for a mount to use in rental cars? Not seeing how reusable the adhesive pad is anywhere or if it's going to leave marks that I'll get charged for.

I've been using this $10 mount for a bit over 2 years now, and it has never fallen off my dashboard. If anything, it's hard to pull it off the dash at times if I want to move it somewhere works great, cheap, zero complaints.

it says...
The power suction enables you to mount on to almost any surface such as dashboards, metal, glass, plastic and even drywall Silicon lined grid keeps your phone and other devices safe and secure.
A suction attachment seems much more durable than adhesive. temperature won't matter and it can be adjusted as it isn't permanent. An essential feature.

I like this, nice simple, compact design. Easy to install my phone onto it too.
hmmmm I might have to grab one of these, I like the compact design so you cant really tell its there when your phone is not in it
Pro-Clip rules. No Sticky tape. And I prefer portrait mount for Nav. I want to see more of what's ahead than what I'm passing.
Nice but doesn't have Qi support for me... I use my phone a lot in the truck so I have been looking for less hassle with cords for the power... got the bluetooth audio for the nav & music but it needs a power source to run all day.
Amazon sell it for #16.99

my favourite mount is the magnetic CD slot mount, like this one, they are amazing.
http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-Univ...37231&sr=8-11&keywords=magnetic+cd+slot+mount
NICE ONE ~ Like the design. I guess I'll have to ask my dad to buy one of this. He is still using a navigator when driving.
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!

My iOttie Easy One Touch 2 car mount has been awesome
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.
I always loved the idea of snap on wireless charging of the Palm Pixi, so when I bought the S7 Edge, I wanted to have a similar effect.
I modded CHOETECH Fast Charging Area Qi Wireless Charging Pad with some 1/2 x 1/8 Inch Neodymium Rare Earth Disc Magnets and added some 15/8 x 1/32 in N52 Neodymium Magnets in between the case (you will likely need a TPU flexible case since hard ones will be tough to conform around the magnets) and the phone. I now have a magnetic FAST wireless charger for my car where I just need to snap in my phone and it charges. I, unfortunately, sometimes go over bumps on the highway at 80+mph and have not had the phone move a bit.
This should work with ANY compatible phone with wireless charging.
The entire process is easy, here's a quick video I made:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAoC0CrEuMw
Not mentioned or shown in the video is my supergluing the magnets into the case and the into the charger so they do not move.
Edit: Tip from Milimbar, put tape over the magnets so it doesnt scratch the glass
I'm using a Kenu Airframe+ vent mount and a piece of plastic in between the the wireless charging pad and the kenu.
Overall, this is not a cheap mod/car dock. You could get the cheaper, non-fast charging wireless pad, split magnets with someone, and get a cheaper vent mount.
Fast Wireless Charging pad: $35
Kenu Airframe: $30
Magnets: $13 and $12
Total: $90
Edit: the only reason why I had used the 1/2 x 1/8 magnets is because I had spares from a previous purchase. JaredC01 makes a great point that you can combine a few of the 5/8 x 1/31 magnets together to form a stronger magnet.
Cheaper option:
Non-fast Wireless Charging Pad: $26
50 count 15 x 1mm 5/8 x 1/32 in N52 Strong Disc Rare Earth Neodymium: $12 (oos at the moment)
Wizgear vent mount: $10
Total: $48

Quick gif of it in action, in the car:
http://i.imgur.com/6ClCxUJ.gifv
Issues:
If there is a magnet at the bottom right of the phone (while facing the back of the phone), auto-brightness and the lights of the capacitive buttons will NOT work due to the smart case sensors. Just go ahead and remove the magnet from that position from the case and the charging pad. The 3 magnet positions will still be more than enough to hold the phone up.

Another poster said his S7 edge held onto a magnetic stand in his car. Does this work without your magnetic case? Only tea on I as is I want to mod my car charger to be wireless charging with magnets holding the phone vice the squeeze system it uses, and not having to worry about a case would be cool? Though I'm sure I'll eventually find a case I like and can mod it with the magnets.

Looks nice, you know what they say about necessity right....
I would put at least a piece of tape or screen protector over the magnets so they are not in direct contact with the glass.

I'll have to test later but it probably does because of the wireless charging coils inside the phone. If this were the case, it would not charge since there cannot be metal or magnets inbetween the coils

The wireless charger is a big plus with magnetic mount ? icing on a cake i just hope nothing affects it in the long run
Awesome idea, though for the magnets couldn't you have just used all of the smaller magnets and added additional magnets to the base side (stacking them like coins) for a stronger field?
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Yeah, good point, I had some extra thicker ones, but, yes that should work!
Good post! Thin metal disks could be enough for your phone. To save money, retail packaging uses a magnet on only one side of the connection.
I've made about 4 of my own charging docks. I played with magnets for a while but what I really love is micro suction foam. Stuff is amazing and works on any case or phone with a smooth surface. Here's what I made for my car. I took a standard wireless charger. Encased in epoxy. Then cut it into a square. Wrapped in aluminum and put microsection foam on the face.

Thats a great idea. Is there a specific microfoam that you buy? Care to link the items you purchased? I might play around with that as well.
Do you have to clean the microfoam from time to time otherwise it loses its grip?
With the magnet case on my phone, I noticed that auto-brightness does not work and the capacitive buttons at the bottom never light up. Both are negligible for me but I can see the auto brightness thing being an issue for some. I have NO idea why these two things dont work. Right when I remove the case, they work fine.

I have used this stuff before. http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-Direct-AirStick-Microsuction-250mmx300mm/dp/B00ITX9OU2. If the suction starts to wear off just wipe it off with a damp cloth and let it dry and you are good to go.
I would also like to hear about the results on using magnetics for the back are need or not due to the metal body. You should try it with the case and no magnetics and with our the case too.

So I tested points on the phone where it is magnetic:
http://i.imgur.com/t7hFvOU.jpg
However, other than the center, these arent really strong pulls. If you use the center as a magnetic spot, wireless charging will not work because that is where the coil is.
I also found out that if theres a magnet at the bottom right (while facing the back of the phone), auto-brightness and the lights on the capacitive buttons will not work. Bizarre. I just removed that magnet from the case and all is well again.
I'm not a storage expert but according to my knowledge about memory, we always had a strict no magnets rule.
Awesome idea! You made a unique fast wireless car charger! This Choetech fast wireless charging pad must be the best option to make this kind of fast wireless car charger. It is long and wide enough with 3 coils to keep steady charging with your car mount.
Why don't you just use the circular stock Samsung fast charger or the other CHOE one?

That's with analog hard drives. All phones more feature digital flash memory.

I would use the AirDock's Long Flexible Mount + CHOE Square Fast Qi Charger + Wizgear's mount piece (to makeshift attach the mounting piece to the back of the CHOE charger for use with AirDock) + the magnets OP mentions + cut nano suction for the top.

With the magnet case on my phone, I noticed that auto-brightness does not work and the capacitive buttons at the bottom never light up. Both are negligible for me but I can see the auto brightness thing being an issue for some. I have NO idea why these two things dont work. Right when I remove the case, they work fine.

I'm sure that's fine because I'd hate auto brightness to screw with me in the daytime.

I also found out that if theres a magnet at the bottom right (while facing the back of the phone), auto-brightness and the lights on the capacitive buttons will not work. Bizarre. I just removed that magnet from the case and all is well again.

Probably the hall sensor (for the smart window case.)
