Cup holder car mount?

Hey guys,
basically what I would love to find is something to place into my car cupholder that would hold my phone while allowing both the usb power / and 3.5mm audio jack to be plugged in. I don't need a mount as such, anyway to hold it whilst allowing the cables to be plugged in would suffice.
I love to using the audio jack straight into the stereo, it works wonderfully as a makeshift handsfree. Please let me know of any ideas or possible modifications I could make to existing products to make this work. T
Thanks!!!

Would this work? It says you can connect cords through the base.
$6.95

It doesn't show as much of the screen as I would like but it does look like a very good option....I'd give a shot, one problem is no postage to Thailand.
Thanks though

Just search for cell-cup, it's sold everywhere... Amazon has a 2-pack of them for like $11.

I thought about that one too, but he said he didn't want a mount.

Well a mount might work, if it was cheaper. This one is for iPhone so I'd be worried about it fitting. It's not a universal type mount is it?

Armband

Does anyone make an armband for the thunderbolt so I can wear the bolt when I exercise? I've looked around a bit, but not found anything that will fit my giant phone with extended battery and seidio case.

not just that, but i want a freakin' wrist band for the Thunderbolt.
just like how i wanted a wrist band for the ipad.
would that not be awesome !?!?!....

Yeah. I bought mine on Amazon. It wasn't that much and it works. Definitely not the greatest quality out there but it does the job.

I wish but I assume HTC has given up on the Thunderbolt products.

I'm thinking about getting one too. I don't even use my ipod anymore since I got my Thunderbolt. I would like to have it right there to listen to music while I'm running. I need to get back into shape!

From the Sensation boards:

Arkon's XL-Armband fits the Sensation. I have one with the Incipio NGP case and it fits with the case on.
We designed the armband to fit most pones with screen sizes from 3.7" - 4.3". I've tested it with the Sensation as seen above, Thunderbolt (with TPU case), Droid 3, Droid X 2 and a couple others and they fit.

$17.95
*Sorry for the annoying servo noise, I had to use a DSLR to record the video since I was using my live Sensation as a model and the auto focus was on :\

The armband case that you seek is this one!
I bought the TuneBelt from Amazon for like $20 before the holidays. It keeps my phone safe, sweat free, and you can even buy a little extender belt if you plan on running with heavier clothes on like a sweatshirt. Great buy!

Nice!! I have been looking for one for the gym.

Good Vehicle Mount?

I ordered a vehicle mount from Amazon and had to return it. The "arms" that held the phone in place covered the volume rocker. Only way to make it work was to sit it in the there not centered and that just looked bad. Paid $25 for it so I didn't want to have to do that just to make it work.
Has anyone gotten a vehicle mount that works properly? Preferably from Amazon?
Here is what I ordered before.

I personally just make my own. Buy a reasonably cheap hard case from eBay, and combine it with a Garmin sat nav mount also from eBay. Some heavy duty Velcro and it works great. Did the same with my desire. Means I can interchange for when I am driving or my partner now she has the desire. Also cost about £6 in materials and postage.

Based on what I heard other people say in this forum I went with this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Also checked some reviews on youtube.. just got it yesterday so I can let you know how it goes by end of next week...

I normally go with Arkon. I had one mount for 4 years, it charged it too. However it finally went out. And yes, you can get it from amazon prime : )

I ordered an electronic cheapo from hk for $10. It has adjustable everything. It even handled my atrix very well considering the spot of usb and hdmi on that. And it has to two flip out arms on bottom. I just use the one on the left so I can plug my 3.5mm jack in.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

Thanks for the responses. I just ordered the Arkon one. That one looks like it should work really well!

Here's the mount I ordered until Proclip starts shipping their mount:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XAF4YQ/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
I posted a pic up there with my gnex in it. The mount is flimsy compared to the proclip I used with my dinc for 2 years but I didn't expect much for $15.
The Gnex fits in it just fine and no buttons or ports are covered. Didn't want to drop $50 on the crappy VZW mount only to pitch it when my proclip comes. My Xterra doesn't have a lot of places to set it and I was tried of it sliding off my leg and smacking into the door on turns
After using it for a few days I will say I wish it stayed attached to my AC vent a little better but generally it does what it says and stays put.

Very similar to the exo mount posted here too.
I really want the Samsung GSM one though...

External batteries/Portable chargers

I'm looking to buy one for when i'm traveling to charge my phone/tablet and looking for suggestions on brands/models/etc. Probably don't really want to spend much more than ~$50 on one. Only requirements are that it isn't too big and bulky to not fit well in a laptop travel case. And the more mAh the better obviously. Thanks.

There are a lot of brands out there. Morphie seems to be one of people's top picks - probably because it looks super nice and marketed well. I personally have never own one and think it's a bit on the pricey side. I have a Ravpower one with 10,400 mah which was mentioned in this thread if you wanna take a look. Works great. Not heavy at all which was surprising. And can charge my nexus 7 about 2 times before i need to charge again. Think Ravpower have smaller ones too, but 10,400 might be their largest capacity charger.
These portable power chargers seems to be everywhere now. You can probably find some in stores too. Think I saw a low mAh one at Lowes the other day by either Duracell or Energizer, but these might not be best for heavy charging.

I just ordered 2 antec powerup 3000's apparently they have Panasonic batteries. I will report back! :beer:

QI Charger stand. Difference?

Hello there fellers...
Is there any difference between last gen. wireless charging stand and the new one released together for S8?
Does the new one have faster charging speed?

If you mean this one,

I got one and did not like it. Unlike the Samsung Qi charger I had purchased for my car, this one seems to cycle constantly. So it goes on battery, and the phone discharges for a while, then it starts charging, then you get a full charge and it turns off and the cycle starts over. I found it too annoying to use.

Thanks. The new convertible stand looks great but is a bit expensive for now.
Edit: I read on a review for this model that "the correct power supply must be used for it to function properly."

If you mean that it should use the cables/wall plug that it came with, yes, that's true. I have two of them and without a quickcharging cable/cable, it doesn't charge/work as a quick charger.

Sindroid,
Here is the one I have been using
https://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Char...24826&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+wireless+charger
Works very well, not high speed but 3.5 hours for full charge and very sturdy. Also has the rubberized grip so very sturdy for the phone to sit on as well. Highly recommend it.

This looks very cool. Does it come with cables and a wall plug? I see "a" cable, but not sure if comes with all the necessary cables. I found it on the US site for $25 (guessing that's what it is at the exchange for CAD).

I'm using the new convertible charger. So far so good.
