Car case/dock? - Thunderbolt Accessories

Can anyone recommend a car dock that works with a dashboard beanbag, so I can avoid doing the windshield suction cup?

I'm using the Verizon branded iGrip dock that I got from the Verizon store with my corp discount, it comes with a plastic disk you can stick to your dash if you don't want to put it on the window. I'm pretty sure if your beanbag mount has a similar disk on it that the dock would work with that. If you want I can try to snap a few pics later after work and post them up here.

Clingo Car Mount
Anybody ever seen or used one of these? Im going to go pick one up tomorrow just kinda wanted to know what they were like ahead of time.

Has anyone found a mount that works with a case, say the Seidio case?

You could check out Ram Mounts. You can basically make your own holster for any device and pick how you want to mount it. They even make aviation mounts which is perfect for those of us who are pilots.

Can anyone share a link to a good one for extended batteries.

For those wanting a quality car mount, here it is. ProClip stuff is awesome. Its pricey but it works.
Completely worth it if you go with the fixed install.
I just ordered mine, I've always loved proclip.
Ordered!
I've been waiting for this bad boy to come out.
I wish that they would sell the basic holder without the swivel. I think that the entire mounting system looks much better without it. Oh well I'll just throw it in a box like I did for my G1 swivel mount.
I have a N1 ProClip holder somewhere around here. I need to see if I can figure out a way to mate it to a quality suction cup mount. If so, Ill get the Evo one.
do u guys know if the non-adjustable one works w/ the innocase II case? doesn't look like it, but figured i would ask....
this can be in landscape mode no problem huh? i should mention and it stays in landscape mode without any movement?
i bet this would work nice with an otterbox too...
hmmmmm
any videos anyone?
I dont think it swivels without leaving it loose.
I was thinking about it, but it us too expensive,i might just try a cheapo vent mount one to start

An alternative to Brodit/ProClip?
I'm sure this will work:

Yeah, it's for an HD2 but it may work..the Evo is just a fraction of a millimeter thicker, but essentially the same dimensions. The holder is wide open so all the buttons are exposed including a hole in the back of the holder for the speaker/camera. Even if I have to mod the holder a little once I have it, for $7 and free shipping and it fits on a standard Nuvi mount, which I got rid of anyway now that I have the phone's better Navigator....I'll take a chance with it before spending over $50 for a product that does the same thing. Just my two cents.
It should be here in a couple of days, as I ordered it about 5 days ago....I'll let you all know how it works out.
Cheers
i guess im out of luck since im using the sedio rugger holster.

the proclip one does not, but the slipgrip holder does. I took one of my old TP2 proclip mounts' ball joints and adapted to the slipgrip, its somewhere in the post where the slipgrip is reviewed in this forum

Use the ProClip iPhone holder that they also suggest for EVO's with cases.

Looking for a windshield mount for my truck

I know there a few threads about windshield mounts but none of them have what I'm looking for. I am looking for a windshield mount for my 2000 Ram 1500. I want it to mount on the BOTTOM on the windshield and come to the edge of the dash so it will need to be fairly long. I switch between the Seidio Innocase II surface and the Seidio 3500mah extended battery so I need something that will accommodate both of those. I also need it to switch between portrait and landscape. The Kensington windshield mount for the Iphone looks like it would be great but it doesn't look like it will allow me to use my extended battery.
What have you guys found that might work for what I need?
ive been using this...
Scosche IUHW7 Windshield Vent Mount Kit.
its inexpensive it sitcks... it turns and fits all kinds of stuff
I think I got it for 12 bucks at walmart

Mountek MT5000
I bought this after finding a thread about it on another forum. Best accessory ever. Extremely quick and easy to install, rotates portrait/landscape ... can't complain about anything. It uses your CD slot - you just put it in the opening and clamp it down.
It's actually started to become a problem because I'm constantly distracted while driving by my cellphone now. It's just right there up in my face, gorgeous and begging to be played with.
Can't post the link since I'm new here ... but you can Google it easily.
I like the Clingo mount so much, I am going to mod the Sedio Active Innocase I have to make it work with it (smooth.velvty doesn't stick to Clingo).

I've got a cheap Arkon universal mount I use in my car. Works great with my ballistics case or naked.
Dunno how long it is but I have am ikd z car and its mounted to the bottom of my windshield and comes to the dash edge. Probably 6in or more. It was tricky too cause my car has a high rake angle and I wanted it mounted so it wouldn't show Tue mount at all in videos. It does block half the camera but it clamps hard enough that you can scoot it up and get the camera free.

Why not just get the seidio innotraveler? It will fit both the extended battery and innocase power their website. I have it and love it, it actually extends pretty far.

Because the seidio one is $50! Thats crazy for a windshield mount. I found one at bestbuy yesterday its by rocketfish and made for the iphone but it works with our phone to. It doesn't come to the edge of the dash but it will work.

Will this dock work (Shimshop)

I was looking at the extended battery and came across this. I have a Diztronic case and I'm wondering if the Nexus will fit. If not, can you recommend other docks like this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...792279?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c218a3e17
Anyone have any thoughts?
would be nice if it had vent mount
According to the dimensions, this should work, even with the Diztronic case on it. I am looking for something similar. Will have to consider this ... I would like a fab up a USB to the bottom of a mount so the phone could slide into it and mount on the usb. Might look to ghetto though.
Very interesting, tired of waiting for the 3-pin dock to come out
I think I will just go ahead with ordering this one. Even if the 3 pin one comes out, I am fairly certain it wont work with a case anyway. I will post a review when I get it!
I think it's ok, use with USB car charger should be fine

Any Good Universal Car Holders?

Hi,
I bought a universal car holder but it was quite large and crappy looking.
Before buying another I wanted to get suggestions from you guys
I'm not looking for an official dock as I won't be taking my case (Seidio Active) off.
It doesn't need to do anything special, just hold the phone in a desirable location without looking like crap. I'm not opposed to using velcro or similar to stick the mount on the dash. I do not want a windshield mount.
Any suggestions? Links please if you have them.

Otterbox Commuter + Car mount

Hi,
I tried searching the forum but with no results.
I recently bought a case for my phone a Galaxy S3 Otterbox Commuter Series.
I am looking forward to buy a car mount but can't find one that fits the phone + the case. I dont want to have to remove the phone from the case everytime I want to plug it in the car.
Is there any car mount that will fit the phone + case? I also prefer suction cup mount but I can't find any.
There is the Mounttek Universal Car Mount in The Master List for Accessories thread but it fits in the vents.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry,
I thought I posed in the accessories section.
Can a mod please move my thread?
Thanks.
I found these online.
I'm looking for the same thing, but not wanting to spend $30

There is a company called vtec that makes an adjustable mount. I used to see them at the local auto parts store pretty much fit any phone in there. except the gaudy note.
I love my exogear, sticks to anything. Does not matter what case it's in.
