I don't take credit for the video but I found THIS low profile car mount that's made for the iPhone and works just as well for the EVO. HERE it is at Amazon.
i really like this! it looks classy. plus the phone seems more secure in the cradle then in some of the other car-mount solutions i've seen. thanks for pointing this out!
I'm going to pick one up on payday and I'll see how good it is and give a report back.

I've had that one for a while. Very nice.
My only complaint is that in portrait mode I have knocked the phone out of it a couple times. It's plenty solid, it's just not that hard to flip the phone out of it.
Do you guys think there's any chance an Evo with the Seidio Innocase Active would fit in this?

The video has a quote that says it should work with thinner cases but not thick ones. I personally have a carbon fiber skin on mine and I'm pretty sure it will work as the guy in the video, his phone is naked. I don't know what differentiates a thick from a thin case but you could always order it and if it doesn't fit you could just say it doesn't fit and return it, but then you would have to eat the shipping cost. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe someone will come on here that has a thick case and give his thoughts on the matter. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Cheers...
EDIT: There is a comment below the video that say:
Unfortunately it does no work with one of those rubber-like cases. I tried with the one manufactured/distributed by HTC for the Evo and it would not fit in mount. There is still a slight chance that if it was in a thin hard case it might work.

Wow, finally installed this in my wife's Mazda 3 (vent mount) and it just rocks. Super sturdy in either portrait or landscape, easy to snap the EVO in and out. Thanks a bunch to the OP for the tip. Hard to beat this one for the quality, ease of use, and price.
I love this car mount, thanks for the tip.
Good to know guys. Now I'm going to order one. Thanks

Nice find. Thanks.
just ordered mine off Buy.com can't wait to get it.
main reason i want one is because it's a pain in the ass to hear my ringtone in a jeep with the top and doors off. it would be nice to see a call come in while driving.
Terax XWAY. Strong enough magnet to hold into the phone even with the ridiculous spension setup I have in my Integra. I love using it, and it's completely portable, like throw it in your pocket, take 5sec to put in in another car, and go.

Nice omni, i might order this as well. i really like how well that seems to work. although it's double the price i just paid for the Kensington mentioned my the OP. we'll see how well the kensington holds up first.

Only vent mountable. There seems to be no goose neck for the windshield. This would not serve my purpose. Plus it seems a little bulky compared to the Kingston. It is also more expensive than the Kingston. No thanks... I'll stick with the Kingston.

And it would mess with the compass apps and we'd have to stick something on the Evo
Just thought I'd chime in and report how it works with the Seidio Innocase Surface II.
The phone with case on fits fine. The issue is because of the added 2-3 mm of thickness and the smooth feel of the Innocase, it makes it infinitely easier for the phone to slip out of the mount. I haven't had it fall out on me since I always keep my phone in the landscape position while in my car but it will slip if you drive over bumps while its in portrait.
I'm looking into getting some kind of rubber tape so I can make the grip the mount has on the phone a bit more tacky.
I finally ordered this mount and when I get it I'll see about doing a small video review so as to let everyone know what it's like. It's made for the iPhone and wouldn't you know it, EVO is stealin' the show once again. LOL Man I like my EVO. It's such a kick ass phone. Now with an awesome low profile car mount I can finally use it with Google Navigation point-to-point and not have to keep looking down at it while it's laying on the passenger seat.
Cheers...

I am assuming the Seidio 3500mah battery won't fit in this? Anyone?
I'm currently using the Clingo Vent Mount in my car and I'm looking to buy a case that will work well with the Clingo. The way I understand it is this material does not fair well with textured surfaces and silicone. I was really excited to find the Incipio Feather Case but then I realized it's silicone (or so I believe, please correct me if I'm wrong).
So I'm looking for suggestions, got any?
Have you tried it without a case? Does it stick at all, or does it just fall off right away?

Mine holds great without the case, you have to really try to get it to come off.

Can someone measure how thick the phone is with the case on, in millimeters? I would really appreciate it.
I want to know if it will fit into my Zenis dock or not.

It won't fit sorry guys! Too bottom heavy lol. Just kidding, but in all seriousness, it won't fit . Not even from side to side! It's too wide and fat.
Could anyone share a good suction cup car mount that I could use with a seidio case? A universal is fine, just want something with good quality. Doesn't need to charge but allows a car charger to plug in while mounted.
Thanks for any input.
I bought this Exo-Mount from Exo-Gear on Amazon.

Arkon's Mobile Grip sticky mount can be mounted to the windshield or dash, though they market it as a dash / console mount.

It will work with the GS2, I've put a Galaxy Nexus in it.
You could even use this as a desk mount if you wanted to.

its better quality than the arkon mounts ive had in the past. also, it doesnt look cheap either. i dont know why you'd be worried too much, because i dont see how you can break this if you use it properly.

i'll take a "cheap plasticy" holder THAT WORKS WELL than a fine looking pos holder anyday. i vouch for the exomount. the reason i got it was its capability to hold a device with a case in landscape mode. the last universal holder i had couldn't do that very well. it barely held a vibrant in landscape mode. that clip design is where it's at.
I received my exomount today. I love it! Not cheap plastic at all. The suction cup is awesome!
Got my exomount a couple days ago.
I surely didn't have to worry about the jaws opening enough, will certainly hold any case.
Works great.
I posted a review with a video for the exomount. Just do a search and you can see it with our phone and in a case.

I also have the exomount. Awesome mount. Holds very well to the surface and holds the phone well too even with a case (I use it with the body glove).
I use it as a tripod for recording also.
I will say that the plastic did feel cheaper than expected. I think the only place that would be an issue would be at the swiveling points. If you are adjusting your viewing position a lot I could see the plastic snapping if you accidentally use too much torque at a bad angle.
Good evening!
I'm in need of some suggestions.
I'd like to get a mount to put my phone in but I'm kind of out of ideas..
Here's where I'm at:
-I don't want a window mount. I've had one fall off and explode my phone before.
-I don't have a CD player so I can't use a CD slot mount.
-A cup holder mount wouldn't work well in a 04 Aveo's cup holder.
-A lighter mount wouldn't work because the cup holder is on top of it.
Otherwise, I have no idea where to mount my phone!
Any ideas/suggestions?
I bought a Kenu Airframe for my current phone (iPhone 5. Waiting for my OPO!). It's a mount that goes onto your air vent. The phone doesn't slip or move at all. I got it on sale. There's an Airframe+ for 5.5 inch screens. I haven't tried the Airframe+, but I suspect it works the same.
Can you let me know if the OPO fits in the original Airframe? People were reporting it working with a Galaxy S4 with a case so it might be close. The vents in my car are vertical, though, so I wonder if it would slip off...

Can confirm, the OPO fits in the original Airframe. Using it with mine, works great.
You can rotate the rubber teeth 360º so it can be used with any vent setup (vertical/horizontal/rotating vents)

I thought this also, but with my HTC One, and now my OPO I wouldn't go anywhere else but Brodit Proclips...they are perfect.
OPO has to use a universal clip, but even that fits than 2-3 other ones I've tried for the OPO.
If you have the cash, give it a go.

I've emailed their support and they said they're pretty sure that it'll work fine on my car and that if it doesn't, I can return it for a full refund.
This may be the way to go.

I got my Airframe the other day and can confirm that it works just fine with the OPO and my vertical vents.
I have to make sure the direction of the vent is all the way up or it pushes the vent fin out of alignment (requiring me to take the dash apart to fix it!)
It's a little wobbly for my taste but it's better than the phone sitting on the seat next to me!
Thank you guys for the suggestion.

I have a kenu Airframe and the opo fits fine without a case. It does not fit with case.
I've just ordered the Airframe+ to compensate. I'm a huge fan of the Kenu and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Has anyone found a car mount/dock that has a built in charger and/or audio out? It's kind of a pain to have to hook up the charge cord and audio cord every time I want to put the phone in my car mount. My old Samsung G2 mount was like that. Just plug your charge cord into the mount, as well as your audio cord, then when you slipped the phone in the cradle, it would slide into the usb, start charging and have an audio out signal.
used an airframe for my nexus 5, i didnt like it, due to how it was positioned in my honda civic. it was always diagonal facing away from me.
i guess it depends on the car u have. ima try iOttie
