If anyone is interested in a Large Case to carry the Note 2 if you have a case on it such as Seidio ACTIVE with Metal Kickstand i got this one...
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Note II Horizontal Leather Case with Magnetic closure with belt clip and belt loops (Plus Size will Fit w/ Otterbox Commuter on) + Cell Phone Antenna Booster
(link Belwo)

When i got it a few weeks ago...it was $13.50 now it is $8 LOL. I have the Seidio ACTIVE with Metal Kickstand white
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSK3SSGT2K-GL
and it fits it almost 100% perfectly. There is a tiny bit of play (up/down....& side to side), but not much. It seems to fit better now that it has been broken in. And yes our phone is big so yes this is a big Horizontal Leather Case...but you get used to carrying it.
Although the pictures online make it look more like a grey leather, it is black. You can not see it in the pics online...but on the sides....a part of it has small strip of elastic. It "may" work for the extended case that comes with the 4500mAh extended battery. You could technically use this holster without a case on your Note 2...which i did for about 3 days before i got my case....but it will flop around a bit.
There are other reviewers on Amazon that say it fits with the Ottterbox Commuter and it is in the tile.
For those of you who want to mount it in the car...i suggest this. (see link below) i got the SM 678. and the legs are adjustable side to side. (I have wide for by the USB jack and close together for the top of the phone, so as not to cover the headphone jack.) And one side is movable with a fairly strong spring type mechanism to adjust for height... (which you can see in the videos...via Youtube...not my videos...).

I live i South Florida and i always buy from Arkon... for all my phones. But being in S. Fl. the heat is brutal... especially inside your car. I used to have windshield mounts and then bought a "friction dash mount"....and the heat would make the suction cups lose suction and it would fall. The last straw for me was when i was using the Nav on my Nexus 1 and it fell.
So I decided to glue it to the part where you suction cup it to the dash mount... using Gorilla glue. It worked like a charm. Since the parts are interchangeable on the Arkon products it was not a big deal going from a bigger mount for each larger phone (LG G2x was next). The reason why i am telling you this, is that this new version will stick to any part of a flat surface on your dashboard (yes of course glass too). If there is any "texture " on your dash should hold as long as it is a plain (mostly flat) or completely flat. You need to pick a 100% or perhaps 90% (as in "very slightly" curved) flat surface. I do not know what new tech they are using, but it is better than an ordinary suction cup. Some parts on the inside of the cup has a tiny techture / ridges to it, compared to a completely flat surface like your average suction cup. I am sure other company's have this tech too. I think it is modeled after the Geckos feet. You have to look really close at it to see it.
Anyway... it has yet to fall. We are heading into summer soon...so we will see how it holds up. We have not hit the high 90's yet or at least i do not think so) If it craps out on me later, i will try an remember to post.
--> EDIT( 04-27-2013) ok the heat got to it. When i would come out to my car it would be laying on the floor. If you remove it before you leave the car, most likely not an issue. But I do not want to reset the view etc every time. So back to the dash mount where i have a suction cup glued to it with Gorilla glue.
I hope this helps....
So I bought a Mountek car dock that uses a magnet to hold the phone. It comes with a metal plate you put inside your phone case. The problem is that the M8 has a curved back and the case won't fit with the plate inside. I tried bending the plate, but it would have to be PERFECT to fit inside the case without pushing up against it.
Does anyone know of an M8 specific case that has magnetic metal embedded in it? Or has anyone else come up with a clever way to make the M8 work with the Mountek?

Certainly not a clever or pretty way, but I did epoxy a strip of metal from Home Depot onto the back of a case for this purpose. It works, but... near impossible to get it to look nice.
I just received the same car mount and was able to place the magnetic blade (without removing the adhesive tape) inside my TPU case. It's a little tricky to keep it centered while inserting the phone back in to the case, but I could keep a finger on the blade to keep it steady. Once the phone was fully back in the case, the blade hadn't move at all and it sticks to the mount perfectly without any movement or drops.
I also have a second blade on another case (applied on the back of the case), so that's another option. Buy a cheap case just for the car, but that could become tedious.
Edit: I have the blade vertically in place when the phone is in portrait view. Easier to hold the blade in place in landscape when putting the case back on.

I have the LG circle case with Qi charging. Love it.
Was thinking of getting a magnetic car mount (requires putting a small metal plate behind the back cover.
I did a little test, and place the small metal plate between my phone and my Qi charger, and sure enough the metal plate got pretty hot.
My question is, will this interfere with the charging? Would it be bad for the phone to do this?
Mine wouldn't charge (as suspected) with the plate in the center of the phone. I had to put my plate in the bottom corner, opposite the speaker hole, to make qi charging and magnetic holder play nice with each other.

I was not able to get both the QI receiver and the metal plate to fit inside the case. I have the plastic cover, not the leather one.
Can you do me a favor and post a photo of your back cover so I can see how you mounted both the QI receiver and the metal plate?

Please do post a pic. I tried to fit both but to no avail. My metal plate is as large as QI receiver and I found it impossible to fit both. I would need to cut the plate in half or more.
I tried using an Aukey magnetic car mount and even with the smaller plate it interfered with my wireless charging and the phone didn't really stick well through my Spigen case. I personally wouldn't recommend them but ymmv.
Let us know how it works out for you...
As the topic states, has anyone found a metal plate brand that has an adhesive that will actually stick to the rear of the 5T? I've tried a number of them, and they all pop right off when I go to pull the phone off the dash, leaving the plate attached to the magnets.
Specifically, I've tried the plate that came with:
"Maxboost" Magnetic Car Mount, which has no branding on the backer for the tape, so I'm not sure what it is
"DAFQCO" Magnetic Cell Phone Holder for Car, which used a 3M tape that i can't recall the number of off the top of my head
A Maxboost plate with it's tape replaced by 3M VHB Tape F9460PC tape.
I bought the Carbon fiber bumper case and attached the metal plate to the back of it with 3M double sided tape and leave it in my car.
Whenever I get in my car I just switch my case for the Carbon fiber bumper and have never had any troubles.

Where did you buy that carbon fiber bumper case? Can you provide a link?

It's the official one from OnePlus.

In this case, problem is about magnet is too strong, you can try using small metal plate or better adhesive.
Or put metal plate in between case and phone, magnet is strong enough to hold it (make sure to put protective film on plate or phone)

This is what I did. I used simple vinyl tape (electric tape) so the metal wouldn't scratch the phone
I bought the sandstone cover from the oneplus store.
In the future you might consider the proclip mount. I've had mine for 5 years and it's adjustable case has worked for every phone I've had since. I'm also anal about not having my AC air blowing on my phone in a vent mount. Probably a personal problem.

I ordered the spigen metal plate from Amazon. So far it hasn't come off. And I use it with the original thin case, the red case, and naked.
I use Tech Sense Lab Magback car mount. Wonderful product. I have the still plates attached to my phones case from inside. Works perfectly.

Thanks, I actually have the car half of a pro clip mount for my car, I love the quality and the ingenuity of the mount, I just don't love where it ends up placing it in a 7th gen VW GTI (right in the passengers knee if they're tall).
I ended up using the heavy duty exterior grade Scotch double sided foam tape (that's effectively 3M automotive trim tape) for a week before I ended up just building a car mount. And all this started because I'm one of the crazy people who doesn't use a case at all.

Cell helmet sounds like exactly what you're looking for. I've been using one for two years now on multiple phones and haven't had any issues: https://www.cellhelmet.com/pages/mounts
Hey everyone,
Im trying to get a metal plate to stick to the back of the phone to use with my magnetic car holder. i dont use cases and might get a skin.
Has anyone used a magnetic phone holder with the xperia xz2? and if so how did you get the metal plate to stick to the phone. i have tried three different ones now, speigen, and two no name brands. none work. phones to slippery.
