i'd like to do the same for my note. where can i find decent docs? what are others using?
The attached pic is the spawn of crossing 6" bendie suction cup mount for my n1 with the samsung oem sgt car dock.

Wait for brodit.se to come up with something for the Note.
Theirs are great.

i sent email to them and they answered they dont know yet when it will be released..

I'm using a generic holder which is now many years old, has served me through a few changes of phone (as has the car it's stuck to), and looks exactly like this one....

I have the official Samsung car dock on my xmas list and my cheap holder will suffice perfectly well till then.

Here's the one I ordered

Yeah saw that last night. that is eactly like sgt car dock i have, except for a smaller tray.
Seems sorta pricey- i got my sgt one for 39 before a 20% discount. order directly from sammy....
Fwiw the arm/suction aparatus on my sgt dock is rigid and didnt rotate. this really limits mounting options. . this oem gnote one looks like the same (just different tray).
. . . still looking...most of the universal ones seem to have lots of bulky clamping mechanisms. . .yuck. .

How bout that SGP car dock mobile stand that has a clamp and suction cup on its back? It's made for s2 and iPhone. But maybe the clap can extend to accommodate the width of the Note?

I've sent an email to them as well.
I got the answer that they do not have any plans releasing a holder for Galaxy Note, due to the fact that it has not yet been released.
I got the reply from Brodit on the 26th of October so perhaps they are now looking into creating a holder for the Note...
If anyone wants to email them to create a buzz/demand for the holder, please feel free to do so...

I guess the original car dock won´t work with the flip cover on?

I found another one at ebay:

I have been told by one supplier on eBay that the official dock is not compatible with the Note while encased in a gel type skin. It's the same story with the desk dock too. That's put a bit of a dampener on them for me, as they were both on my xmas list. However, weighing up pros and cons I'd rather keep the case on the phone than have the convenience of the official dock. A universal dock and a loose lead will have to do for me, which is what I'm using at the moment.

Official G Note car dock should have the micro usb plug on the dock itself so it's possible to just attach the phone to the dock and you get also the power supply without connecting manually the power supply cable . Finally they made it...

This one I ordered.

Car Dock
I've been using a bracketron vent mount with my galaxy S2 when I got my Note the mount was able to hold it horizontally but not vertically little too much weight up high. When I got the flip case cover I thought this would never work but to my surprise when put the flip top all the way over I can clip the case to the bottom of the mount and holds perfectly in the vertical position. The phone is still supported by the 2 feet at the bottom. The small clip that I used was from Home Depot think it was $.99. Pretty good temporary solution for me.

I've ordered this one should also work with the new gel case ive just got. The case is excellent by the way.

Will wait for a Brodit One. They always provide good product and phone does fit into perfectly

when someone actually gets one of these home charger/dock combo's and confirms they fit and work, could you please post here, with the link to the one you bought?
so many of these things are junk, and dont fit the phone, that I am afraid to try another one that doesnt work, after getting burned already
thanks
I actually bought a zuuma z4 and took it for a spin this morning. Wow that thing is solid! It stayed put even after a 120 degree turn at 20 mph!
It has an adjustable cradle with soft padding that holds my evo in place and gives it some protection.
I really only have 2 problems with it. It took me a while to figure out how to mount it properly as it comes with no proper instructions. Second, its byoc (bring your own charger).
Great for $30!!!

zuuma looks very nice...too bad they dont make a home desktop/spare battery charger
I am not buying the home dock, as I don't have a use for it...but I am buying the car mount and will report back how it works. Coming from the other side of the world though, so it will be 10 - 15 days before i report back.

if it does, just get the ebay one and drill a nice hole on the holder
They sale a generic universal (rebranded) one at Wal-Mart that clamps on to the phone with thick foam padding. It's pretty stable and clips securely into the vents (or screws in / etc). It's like $9.99. Best of all, you don't have to remove your protective case to use it, since it adjusts with a button.
Food for thought.

If Car Mount is specifically made for EVO, why in the description does it say "Suction cup with lock clip to ensure your iphone 4 remains in place"
Same crap Products with different labeling
I just got my ebay order. This is the second item l got from the same seller. Unfortunately, the dock was shipped with no protective packaging, and part of the suction cup was broken. I'm hoping to get a replacement. There is a hole in the holder for the camera. Looks like the box was opened by customs, or was shipped broken because the broken piece was missing upon receipt. The holder is tight-fitting, and has 4 locking slots similar to my magellan dock. Build quality is ok for 6 bucks, but I doubt one would be able too fit an evo with a case in the holder. I have a zaggskin on mine. I previously purchased the battery charger and 2 batteries from this vendor.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I received the car dock today and it works pretty well. There is a cutout for the camera, has to holders on the bottom (or side if you leave in portrait) and a flexible clip on the top. Has the universal 4 peg holder and the large middle so if you don't like their holder or need one with a longer neck you can get one. I have not tried it in the car as of this writing, only in the house to try out the fit. It is perfect without a case - with my "Barely There" case it fits, but no quite right. I will post pictures very soon so all can see what I mean.
Easy enough...
Don't bother with this one. The fit on the car dock is tight...too tight. Left small, very tough to see, scratches. You may not notice, but I did and I am not happy with this one.
Not worth the few bucks it cost.
DealExtreme just got it in for a little cheaper. They are good with refunding your money too when it comes to problems.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40745
Does anyone know if the dealextreme or ebay car holder will work if you have an extended battery with a larger back panel?? I ordered the extended 3000 mah battery off eBay.
Also, I just wanted to point out that the eBay car dock and the deal extreme one are definitely different.
I got the car dock and I really like it. It's a snug fit but the Evo pops in and out easily enough (I did not get any scratches on it). The Evo is held very securely and does not vibrate while the car is moving. There is maximum up/down and left/right adjustment and when the best postion is found you lock it in with two big hand screws. Overall I'm very satisfied.

I've already seen some, for exemple this one from Brodit,
but I don't know, if my Note will fit with the gel case installed.
Does anybody of you got an idea?
Thanky guys (and grils)!
I'm using a universal phone mount from eBay, look for 'Phone CD Mount'. It mounted to the CD opening slot.

I've bought Herbert Richter car holder:
http://www.amazon.de/Herbert-Richte...=sr_1_2?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1323077084&sr=1-2
So far I have no case on the SGN but I'm sure it will fit with any case that is not thicker than 5 mm on sides.
It's made in Germany and you can immediately feel the quality. It's sturdy and seems to be pretty solid, with option to rotate thanks to ball-head.
Capdase Cigarette USB Car Charger for Galaxy Note
I did a lot of research as well for the one that can hold the Note in a case.
Liked the Brodit one for the custom made feel, but it doesn't work for me if I need to take the case on and off everytime in order to put the phone in the holster.
Then I found this Capdase one that is perfect for this Note as it has USB jacks to charge as well.
Just ordered this one. Couldn't wait to get it. Will review soon upon receipt.

Works well dude. Got it from the Samsung shop at Vodaworld. Got the desktop dock too.
EDIT: The gel case (or any case for that matter) has to come off to use the car dock. I just ordered the Exogear one mentioned above because of this.

Thanks for your work, but you're in the wrong thread. Here we're talking about car docs for Note in a case!
I use the Spider Podium, it can be configured to fit any mobile. An additional plus is that it can easily be used as a phone holder in the home too!

are we sure that this exomount works with silicon case?
Original poster,
I have the same gel case as you have shown in the pictures. In my vehicle I use the Bracketron PHV-202-BL Grip-iT GPS and Mobile Device Holder. I have two of them. One is mounted to the air duct. The other is mounted on a McAllay adjustable cup holder arm (because I already had that and the Bracketron fits on it). If you want a cup-holder mounted solution then you could probably use the Bracketron UCH-101-BL Universal Cup-iT II Mount with Grip-iT for GPS. Of course, you have to take into consideration your car's cupholder configuration.
I use two docks because for GPS I use the one mounted (up) on the air duct and for all other uses I place the Galaxy Note in the cupholder mount for easy access as my arm sits on the center armrest.

Samsung Car mount question

Does anyone know if the below car mount fits a Samsung note encased in a TPU or nilkin/rock hard case?
I did a measurement of my note in its protective case and found the width is about 85-86mm...so it might be a tight fit, given the maximum width of the arm is 85mm.
Anyone who has bought this mount and has a TPU / Rock / Nilkin case can share his experience would be helpful. Thanks.

I have the car mount (its FANTASTIC BTW). the fit is very tight and I do not think you can leave any case on the device. Aside from a snug fit, you need to snap the power clip in, and it only fits if the device is already snuggly fitted into the mount.

I am interested in this mount but there appears to be a lot of unsatisfied user who have problems with it sticking to the dash or the phone sticking to the mount.

Ok, I got to test this out today.
Firstly, the unit itself is very nice and compact, it does not take up much space at all.
It sticks to the dash extremely well, not only does the bottom part use suction but it is also very sticky. I tried with a fair bit of force to pull it off and it wasn't moving once stuck to the dash.
My Note is in a Nillkin case so is slightly heavier then standard but I placed it on the two little grooves that stick out, and then firmly pushed it back so it stuck in place. I then drove to work (and later back home). The ride is quite bumpy in parts and I deliberately drove quite aggressively in an attempt to make the Note fall out but it didn't budge. I can see the 'stickiness' being lost over time but apparently cleaning it with a wet cloth fixes that so only time will tell I suppose.
So far I am pleased with it.
Cheers for the update.
I've just ordered one from mobilefun.de as they have them at 11,99 yoyos.
Any of you coming from the Streak who purchased the SlipGrip commuter car mount will be interested in knowing the Note will fit into it with a slim case (I'm using the BoxWave).
I mentioned this in an earlier post.

I assume you dont mount your phone in winter
I want something that will hold it in landscape in the centre dash.
So that's basically the middle of the car (centre) and the highest tip (of dboard) but not on the glass. That way viewing is much much better and the holder doesn't leave a circle smudge.
Here's my car:
http://gi179.photobucket.com/groups/w292/HZ85Z050N0/Picture027Small2.jpg
(i want it above the warning lamp button where the multifunction display resides)
Btw, in my city if they see the circle smudge or the holder, they break into your car and look for the gps, which costs me a window to repair and any stolen goods.

Only two choices for me - the genuine Samsung job which is supposed to be about £30 ish, or a Brodit pro-clip. I've had these ever since the N95. Great kit, moulded to the phone, active or passive holders. But you have to wait a while for them to release it.
I wonder if the official Samsung one will have a line out like the S2 mount?
How about one with clips for the AC? That's what I'm looking for.
Mobile Fun sells those car dash mounts for a good price. They have an "ultimate pack"
I am giving one away on my site if you are interested check out the link in my sig.

Only two choices for me - the genuine Samsung job which is supposed to be about £30 ish, or a Brodit pro-clip. I've had these ever since the N95. Great kit, moulded to the phone, active or passive holders. But you have to wait a while for them to release it.

I'm also a Brodit fan. Problem is I am planning to get the Samsung flip cover which has the replacement back. With my GS2 I just take it out of the case to put it in the passive holder but that won't work with the flip cover. I don't think Brodit do a kind of grip holder to attach to their vent attachment which I use.
Looks as though there's no line out on the Samsung one

The last couple of Brodit holders I've had have been very poor quality. The mounts are ok so I've connected third party holders to the mount.
The holder that I linked to is apparently a Samsung one and looks like it will work with a phone in a case
Samsungs original car mount is disappointing without the ports that the s2 & notes car mount have had.

Not 100% what to make sure of the official Samsung car dock.

Some of the sites I've seen show this to be described as a universal adapter, for Galaxy S3 AND other phones, other sites indicates this is designed specifically for the S3, and most don't seem to show a micro usb connection.
What gives? Is this or is this not a specific S3 device?
Yes this time around Samsung has released a generic car mount capable of scoring any Samsung device that covers between 4.7" to 5.3" which is printed in the car mounts box.
:-(
The one shown in the expansys is for s2 or for the note. Do not fall for it as it will not fit for the s3.

I have the Samsung car dock for the s2. It is slightly different- the back hole for the camera is different than that of the pic in the link above for eXpansys. Also the note and gs2 are completely different in size. The one shown in the picture for the expansys website is not adjustable.. at least I can't see any sign of it adjusting.. even the car mount for the s2 is not adjustable for a different device. So it could very well be for the s3
Here is the mount for the s2. Pretty similar but its not the same mount as the one on the expansys link.

That looks like the S2 mount listed here:
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-car-holder-for-galaxy-s-ii-217880/
But I think the S3 mount they have pictured is the Note mount
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-ori...-galaxy-note-5-3-car-charger-included-224728/
Think Samsung have dropped the ball in only providing a universal mount and not one dedicated to the phone. Looks like Im waiting for Brodit.
I will be trying my Exogear exomount when my S3 arrives, its the best universal holder i have had.
What about the Exomount or Osomount?

They should be the best universal holders on the market and they are cheap... AND they'll fit the S3 easily
i have just ordered exomount , i hope there wontt be high vibrations while recording,while driving. + phone has image stabilization , should not be big problem

I have the Spacemount, and it's fantastic. The only thing I would tell you to beware of is excessive heat (like leaving it hooked on the dashboard during a hot summer day). It'll degrade the amount of stick & suction it has, although mine still works well enough.
This Crab SuperGrip is amazingly GRIPPY !

Official USB dock is ugly as hell, get the Zenis S2 dock instead.

eBay search, now around £10 if I remember right. I have a black one for my S2 which will be used on my blue S3. My dad's S3 above is on his white S2 dock.
Dock works just fine with the rubber seat that comes with it, the phone is solid when docked. Case users will need to remove the seat from the dock. People should confirm what cases fit in this dock when attached to the S3 but I imagine all official mesh style cases will be fine as the S2 is just fine with them minus the seat.
Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered 2 of them ;-)
Saw your post in another thread, thanks for the heads up, ordered two off of Ebay just now, one for home and one for the office. $11 each.
It really is one of the nicest looking docks I have seen, probably because it is in similar style to the iPhone one
Cheers mrk. Just bought one for £6.50.
thanks just ordered one
It's difficult to tell from the photo but do you think the S3 with the flip cover will fit in the dock?

I have 2 that I use with my S2, I'm glad to hear it will fit.
Bought one, £6.50 thanks
The sony ericsson experia dock works well in landscape mode, especially as it's white - and it has usb host !!

Got any pictures?
Looks like this one will not be compatible with some cases. While the OEM version will absolutely be compatible with most cases. See pic below.
I'll go for the charger that lets me use a case. I learned that lesson already. You think it won't be a big deal taking the case off and putting it back on. But for me at least, it gets pretty annoying after awhile even if it does become second nature.

Almost bought a new dock for my sgs3 that will arrive on Tuesday,
until I read that my zenis sgs2 dock also fits.
Thanks for the heads up!
I think, I found
I think, I found the lowest price it on ebay.

ya I just ordered ad GS3 from expansy and this item from ebay.
Zenis dock works with official mesh case so any case similar will also be fine
Flip case not included in that though!
I was expecting to see a dock with an ugly design, but it was actually nice, and that was the product you recommend. Looks nice. I will save it for later when I have my device.
Add me to the list! just ordered 2. Thanks for the heads up!
I really would have liked to get a dock this time around, but unfortunately my kid steals my phone all the time and having it in a dock means too much wear & tear and the possibility for it to be bent out sideways from the dock instead of pulled out, damaging the ports.
So, I bought a regular "Though Out ped3-u universal stand" instead, because my kid at least knows to yank the cable out the right way by the wire. My last stand was a portable desk stand, but was meant for a tablet, and my kid managed to destroy that, so, this ped3-u should hold up much better, being solid steel.
(And I suppose wireless charging would be even more ideal where fat fingered kids are concerned...)
Dock bought!
