I'm looking to find a Dock that I can use in the car. Unfortunately I have not used one since my old D1 days, and am way out of the loop as to what the good ones are. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I use this one.

i wish these case making companies would make mounts too.
i don't want to use a poorly made, time consuming universal grip on my phone because it has a case on it.
recently bought a mountek universal based on high reviews and testimonials. seriously though, that product is a joke. the grip is not strong and the mount has an inherent design flaw... it is designed to literally seperate by putting pressure between a cd slot or dash seems and the screw to make it tight WILL jack up what you are putting it in. i returned it.
otterbox cant make a mount that fits its line of cases? i have a commuter case and i wish there was a specific mount for it
i have a couple ideas to get one, but it would cost me several hundred dollars and lots of time.

Bought the Original HTC Car Dock from HTC, bit pricier than i would like ( almost 35 from amazon.de) but i have to say that its great. The fact that the recharge cable is attached to the dock and charges every time you put them in the case is really practical.

I like this. And the fact that it would support my case is even better.

This one seems like a universal holder

I have one that I used for my iPhone, the Captivate fits in it fine. I'm waiting on a vent holder and windshield attachment combo from Amazon (backordered).

I got that one today. Looks to be very good so far. It is still in stock and not on backorder. Here are a couple of pictures of it in the windshield mounting. I haven't driven around with it, or tried mouting it off the dash or the vents, but it feels like it's going to hold on to the phone quite well the way I have it right now.

Thanks for the pictures Rajendra82. I got an email from Amazon that said my order came in sooner than their estimate of 3 weeks (I think they just do that to cover their asses on items they don't have immediate stock on). Should be getting it tomorrow!
Arkon Mega Grip for Captivate
What up fellas
http://arkon.com/megagrip/Samsung_ATT_Captivate_Mount.html
btw, you can rotate it to landscape if you want.
I saw some others lamenting the loss of their N1 neoprene sleeves with the Droid on them.
This guy on ebay sells them:

I've got one for mine, the fit is great.
Bought.
I can't tell you enough how much I hate getting pocket lint all over my phone, especially in its case (have to take it off to get it all off). Drives me NUTS!
Hopefully this pouch is large enough to accommodate a case. But if not, maybe I'll just start to rock it naked
I bought this sleeve, doesn't seem to fit my Nexus. Not sure if the same seller, but the design is exactly the same.
Also took heeeeeeeeeeeeellla long to come. But thats to be expected from like Hong Kong.
Got some pics of the fit and the interior of the case? I've been seeing a lot of these on ebay, and people have been reporting most of the time they don't quite match up to the quality of the actual N1 sleeve. I want something that's going to last for 2 years and I'm hesitant to get one of these until I see someone prove that at least one of the ebay knockoffs is actually decent.

I've been using mine for about a month now and its been great. It's not quite as "soft" as the orignal N1 pouch but it has a snug fit which I like. At $5 I wasn't expecting much, so it's beaten my expectations.
My Xoom came with a Cyber Acoustics leather case. It has a lot of advantages, is very well made, but I would like something that simply protects the case and allows me to use the HD audio dock, without removing it. Access to all the ports and the power button is an obvious "must have". Grippy back surface would be a plus. I was looking at the Body Glove Phantom, but they don't seem to be available any more. Does anyone have a recommendation?
I have an Incipio shell. Works very well.
I went to look at the Incipio cases. They have at least 3 made for the xoom. One described as the kickstand case, one called feather ultralight hardshell, and one called Silicrylic. It never can be easy can it?
Heh. I have the red Featherlight.
If less is more, there is always the gel case. All ports (apart from SD card slot I think) are open.

Thanks Kenny,
I bought the featherlight and it's just what i was looking for...well made, secure fit, not cluttered with features that just add bulk.

Yeah, I must have bought 5 or 6 Xoom cases in the time I've had it, and this one is the one I've settled with (I'd better buy a spare while I still can, come to think of it).
What I use when carrying it around is this case, which has a pouch that I keep a small BT keyboard in, as well as my USB OTG cable and a cleaning cloth.

Yust use the gel case
If you have an OtterBox Commuter on your One, and a spare dash mount cradle for a Garmin Nuvi GPS(mine was a 205, I think...), your phone will snap into the cradle like it was MADE FOR IT.
I discovered this because my Nuvi died, and after I took it out of the cradle, I was thinking to myself, "this doesn't look that much wider than my One...". And sho-nuff, the One snapped right in.
Perfect for using it for Google Maps, but also just about anything else hands-free, and a perfect dash-cam if I ever get pulled over by some crooked cop! Enjoy!
can you order the mount separate? I've been looking for a dash cam mount, but most of the universal ones are too bulky and I feel like they'd "un-class" the interior of my car haha.

Here you go dude, found it on Amazon in 15 seconds!

I'm telling you guys, it's fantastic. I'm getting a UAG case in a couple days, anxious to see if it fits that, as well.
This mount below also works great with cases. I have a commuter case and a dodge ram so dash is long and windshield to far away to use short mount like OP listed.

Ya its $20 bucks, could prolly find cheaper elsewhere but it is very sturdy, not a cheesy cheapy!!
I just tried it out and you're right! It fits perfectly! Thanks for the tip!

I use RAM mounts and their x grip cradle for my phones. Very stable even during 1g cornering forces on track days.
Hi there,
Considering the huge size of the phone, not all car phone holder work with it.
I bought this one from AliExpress:

Cobao brand, around $6, no problem at all, it's big enough for the Mi Max 2, even with a case. I'm using a very slim case, but there is plenty of room for a regular case.
I only buy holders that can "grab" the vent with a hook and a spring, those are very stable, so I didn't consider other options.
You can find it here (not sure if AliExpress store links works for long but just in case): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cob...Iphone-6-Plus-5s-For-Samsung/32714737459.html
Thanks for posting the tip!
I ordered one like that. This brand "Cobao" makes some really funky accessories. Even phone holders to fit into car CD drives.
I never used a mount that grabs the vent. Interesting concept. I'm always concerned the mount slips off.
Already had one mount that slipped off the mount, breaking my phone screen when it dropped on the shift stick
Another Option
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A2AEEGE/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I picked one of these up a while back. It's big enough for the Mi Max 2, but a little too big for smaller phones. Depending on the car and who rides shotgun, it may be a good idea to grab a drill, some bolts, rubber washers, a sharpie, and a screwdriver to mount it properly.
I drive a tiny 97 Corolla, so the back seat was nonexistent to fit this in its intended position. I put it right through an aluminum plate used for supporting an optional "premium" stereo. It was premium for 97, I guess. Now head units are so proprietary that a phone is the best you can do for music in most cases.
Get the Baesues Gravity Lock Holders. They work great even on bumpy terrain unlike magnetic holders but still allow popin/popout usage.
