So I have windshield mount that I used for my note 5 that's now failing to hold up the note 8. I plan on buying a new one for under 20 on Amazon that will be decent for the note 8. I also have the otter box defender case which adds a lot of width and weight. Having trouble finding one that will take the case width in it and hold the weight. Anyone using anything decent?
The iOttie OneTouch 4 has Qi; I've got the OneTouch 3 which I'm upgrading soon & works fine with OtterBox
Cool I'll look that up

Hi!
I have a suction cup car mount (AC vent ones are no good in my case) but it for sure wont fit the Note with the 9300 battery so I was wondering what you guys suggest. Maybe someone else already has an alternative.
Also, how about a case with a built in kick stand?
I got one for my note really cheap right when I got the Note 2 and got to love it so much that never upgraded to anything "better" so I dont want to give that up...too convenient.
Regards!
PS Even though I do have like 4 extra batteries (2 for free), I am going to Europe so I want to make sure I got plenty of power during the long trips and not having to worry about carrying too many batteries too often..plus I like the monster look.
Then again, I am waiting for Note 3 too so the more I spend now the more money I will be wasting trying to sell all those cheap later one.
There are no cases for the zero lemon battery other than the tpu case it comes with.
People have cut otter box defenders to fit but no kickstand with that.
I use a fly grip on mine and it works perfectly for a kickstand in both portrait and landscape. Before I had the zero lemon the flygrip didn't really work as a kickstand in portrait but the added weight of the battery and I guess differently distributed weight makes it perfect!
We are still waiting to find out from zero lemon what their rugged case will be.....

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.

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.

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 am looking for a new phone case. After 2 hours of research I have come across two phone cases. I am not sure which would be better. I am looking at Unicorn Beetle PRO Series Or Otter box Defender. I don't know which one is better or do you know of a better case I should get.
I am very clumsy and i have a horrible habit of dropping my phone. My 7 year old loves to play games on my phone as well. So i am looking for something that will protect it.
for my self I have just ordered Unicorn Beetle PRO for 12.74 USD which has a screen cover with reasonable price. Otter box is too much expensive around USD 60. I have a bad experience with galaxy S6 as it has a cover but without a screen protect and it drop on floor with screen broken.
I should say i am getting the Samsung galaxy note 5

yes, I am talking also about note 5 but I have mentioned s6 as a previous experience ..
Coupon? Lucky! I wish I could be so lucky
check out poetic revolution, a member here on xda just did a review. a buddy of mine has one for his 6s plus too, really nice case for the price. I'd like to grab one myself.
I don't even use my note 5 otterbox it sits and collects dust because nobody wants it on CL
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.
Took a chance on this:
Car Mount, Nekteck CD Slot Magnetic Cradle-less Car Phone Mount Holder with Swivel for iPhone 7 6 6S Plus 5S 5C 5 SE, Samsung Galaxy S6/S7 Edge Plus S5 Note 5 4 3, LG G5, Nexus 6P 5X More, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0175W45I8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KQZ0yb1BWF4SE
Just wanted to drop in and let everyone know it works with the OtterBox case. I was concerned it wouldn't but the magnetic is strong enough.
On that topic, I have this magnetic vent mount which also has a very large/strong set of magnets so it works great through really thick cases, phone never falls off even through spirited driving!

I recommend Spigens CD slot magnetic mount. With 6 small neo magnets it strong enough to hold an iPad.
Do you add anything to the phone or is there enough ferrous material in the phone for it to grab it?

You put a metallic plate between the phone and the phone case
