Bike mounts? - OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories

Good day all. So, I have been browsing bike mounts and wondered if anyone had suggestions on what would work great for the 7 Pro. Armor-x and Quad Lock were the two I saw. Quad Lock has a great reputation but only a universal mount. Anyone familiar with them? If anyone has other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

I had the quadlock for my Note 9 and loved it. I looked into getting the universal adapter but it seems to be picky with what kind of material the case is made of. I instead went to a top tube bag/phone holder just to keep my phone out of my pocket and backpack. Let me know what route you end up going.

This looks very promising! I really like how fast you can remove it from the mount which was the only thing I didn't like about quadlock.

Will your phone lie flat on a table with the armor-x case? The quadlock case looks like its bulging at the attachment part, so it seems like the phone will be raised up in the centre, and if you tap the left side of the screen, I would assume the phone would be wiggling.
I like to have my phone lie flat on a table when I'm using it (too big to hold all the time,lol), so if the phone is wiggling while using it, thats a no for me then.

100% not lay perfectly flat. It does rock side to side if you touch the screen to wake it or even maybe reply to a text

I agree, I am waiting to find out what others have tried before I make a decision.

any update on this? It's been hard for me to find a phone holder for the bike because of the size of the OP7P

https://www.amazon.de/Handyhalterun...nfahrräder-Mountainbike-Schwarz/dp/B071XZHK27
This one holds really well. It will cover up some of the edges though. I don't remember if I already tried the OnePlus 7 pro on it but the OnePlus 5 easily fit it and as the OnePlus 7 pro is merely bigger im pretty sure it will fit.
This model is sold by many different brands but it's really strong and survived all my Mountainbike trips.

Hi all! Do any of you have any more up-to-date ideas about bike mounts? I'm searching for a bike mount that be flexible with rotation and allow me to also take videos with the OP7Pro.
Not sure why, but the results are not that much on Google search and it seems that these guys pay Google a lot to be on top:
https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-pl-7p-oneplus-7-pro-shockproof-rugged-case-w-key-mount-carabiner.html
If the mount case is waterproof, that would be awesome, but I'm not sure if there's such a case that can be combined with the ability to allow video capturing.

I have on my motorcycles, the techmount and the rammount. Both work well.

I use rokform...

That's the best kind of bike holder: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32610266632.html - it's safe, waterproof and it also includes room for power bank.

[Q] Car Dock with Otterbox Defender Case

I'd love to be able to use my Otterbox Defender case and my Car Dock at the same time. Unfortunately they just are not compatible. However, I was staring at my dock without the phone in it and I noticed that the bottom portion (where the phone rests) could possibly be ground down/sawed off so that the case would fit in. Depth doesn't seem to be an issue. Width is the problem. It might not look pretty, but if it's functional, that's all I care about.
Has anyone tried anything like this?
Its width and height that is the problem
Look at the mounts for a 200 series Garmin Nuvi. Very little modification and it clips right onto the Defender. There is a thread about this around here somewhere and has lots of pics. Works well and super solid.

Thanks everyone for you responses. I had seen that mount before and it is a creative approach. However what it lacks is having the usb cable and mount. What I like about the moto dock is that I don't have to deal with the cable everytime it get in and out of the car. Just drop the phone in and I'm good to go.
It may be that this is the next best alternative, but I am very tempted to chop the sides off my dock and see what happens.

A realy perfect Leather Case

from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123
review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.
Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.
EDIT:
cheaper one

The Style is the same like "PyroSkins and Vipertech" but what about the leather quality?

I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams
Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described
Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^
Can anyone confirm if this will fit tmobile galaxy tab 10.1?

Isn't it the same size? If it is, it should fit... can't help you out there though as I have a 7500 one.
The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
its a great case

Is the suction cup really strong enough to hold the (fairly considerable) weight of the Xoom?
The suction holder I have for my TomTom is the best I have used so far and even that falls off occasionally with the meagre weight of my TomTom. I don't really care about my TomTom but I don't want to be picking bits of Xoom out of my footwell.

I just ordered myself one of these the other day. It was half the price of the ram mount and review of the ram mount were stating how the arm was a little to short. Anybody has any updated opinions or tips on using the MENB-ME-04-Windshield?
I already know that I would never leave this thing on the windshield with my xoom if i get out of the car.
I've been using this for a ciuple of weeks now. It is a vent-mounted holder and, as my vents are a little bit to the loose side, I was a little afraid the whole thing wouldn't provide a solid mount for the rather heavy xoom... However, it sits in the car, not as stiff as a rock, but close enough Also, all it blocks are my vents, nothing else
If you guys want, I can post some pictures

I also bought this mount and I love it. Work extremely well. I've tried a few other ones and this one is by far the best.
I've been using a Ram Mount (product #RAM-HOL-MOTO3U) in my car since last Christmas and absolutely love it. It's mounted to a AMPs mounting plate that extends a couple of inches out from the console. I had the plate installed years ago for satellite radio use (no longer needed!). To accomplish the mounting I also utilized one of Ram Mount's arm-style ball mounts (product #RAM-B-101U).
This solution isn't the cheapest, but I think it's the best. It can be positioned in just about any fashion with the double socketed arm, stays off the windshield/out of your line of sight, and is immediately accessible right above the gear shift.
I can post some pics later if anyone is interested.

Ram Mount X-Grip makes a good Note mount

Got my Ram Mount X-Grip today (http://www.ram-mount.com/NewProducts/xgripholder/tabid/3687/Default.aspx#). Was worried it might not fit the note because it says max width of 3.25 inches. But it fits with enough room to spare that I could probably have it in a case.
See attached pictures. I like it a lot, I have mounts on my cars and on my bicycles but not sure if I will trust my Note to a spring loaded mount on a bicycle.
I need to find a widget / application that will let me toggle the screen timeout on and off when it is powered.
I have bluetooth in my car stereo. I wonder if there is an app that will let me keep the screen awake when it is connected to power and linked to my stereo?
Yeah, I know my screen protector is crap. I'm leaving it on until I get something better.

No, it does not cover the camera. It is a little more rugged and secure than the cheap Chinese cradles.
It is also a lot easier to get it exactly where you want it with no vibration. I've got a few RAM mounts on various vehicles so this is a good accessory for me.

I use Llama (Location Aware Mobile Application). It does a lot of things like this. I get it to prevent locking when I am at home of work, for example, and control sound in different places or in meetings, and it does all my power control based on batter level much better than most power controllers IMO.
It's also free, but I urge you to support the developer if it is useful to you (I have no affiliation BTW).
Hey would you trust this mount for use on a motorcycle? I already have a bunch of ram mounts so I know they're good quality, just need the x-grip for the note.
Tasker should be able to help you with all the above screen requirements. It's like Llama, but more advanced.
To bring an old thread back- to the OP- can you take a picture of how much clearance there is with the X-Grip all the way open? I'm considering this for my Note, but I'm running a case, and will be going to a bigger/more protective one when one I like becomes available.

Hard to get a great picture, not enough hands to pinch the arms springs, steady the not, and take the picture. Clearance is about 5mm so it would be close.
In reference to the motorcycle, yes I would trust it for any conditions up to a wreck. I had a nokia N810 in a ram mount when I wrecked a few years ago and it popped loose but it held nicely under all normal conditions.
This would be perfect is that little remaining gap is enough to allow a seidio.

The Perfect Vehicle Dock That Works With A Case?

In search of a vehicle dock that will accommodate the size of the Galaxy S III with a case.
Preferably one that fits in the heating/AC vents, or mounts on the front of your dashboard and not on top of the dashboard. I guess one without the suction cup.
Going to be mainly used for Navigation.
Any suggestions?

Does it still "see" the satellites well enough from the lower position in the car?
I assume you can confirm the GS3 fits well in it even though it says it's for iphone?
Anyone know of other CD mounts to compare to?

Best car holder I've ever had!
Don't know if people just don't know about these or just don't like them. I got mine back in February and used it on my old E4GT and now the S3, I absolutly love it! The key is, for me anyways, getting a TPU case( always use TPU so no biggie there ) take an exacto knife and cut a perfect sized cut out for the tiny magnet. If you do it correctly the looks isn't bad at all( use the small magnet, works fine for me ) and more importantly it wont 'wobble' on the table, lays flat. Sorry don't have any pics of my old setup and haven't cut out my new one yet. Also, nice that we have replaceable back covers in case you're worried about it marring up the back if you want to remove it later.
As far as construction quality, magnet hold strenght both are superb, haven't hadd one inceidentl fall off the holder. Also magent doesn't seem to interfer with wifi or cell at all. NFC I haven't tested yet, but my suggestion would be to mount it towards the top side of the case away from the battery( like were the carrier logo is on the back )
Anyways just my 2 cents, check out youtube they have a couple good reviews of it on there.
http://eshop.tetrax.us/
I can't post pics/links but I followed Lifehacker's guide to making a car mount out of office supplies (site should be easy to find with that information). It works surprisingly well, even with the size of the S3 and the fact that my vehicle's vents aren't perfectly suited for the application. I thought it'd be kind of ghetto but it's hidden while in use and easy to remove and stash away when not in use.
I'll make a thread with pics once I have enough posts.

Take your time and look around. There's plenty of car mounts that will fit this phone with a case.
Seems like most are the suction cup kind
will work for any phone even tablets
Sorry long time forum reader but first time posting. I can't post a link but search "soundgate m2 car mount"
You can probably find them cheaper. Used my for the og dinc for 2 years. I put the disc on my case instead of the phone. But I would have no reservations to put it directly on the phone as the disc is extremely unobtrusive. Just clean the spot you want to mount the arm really well with included wipe or rubbing alcohol. The arm mounts with a 3m adhesive pad and folds almost flush when not in use. Very slick. Put the discs on anything you want to dock to the arm. I forget how much weight it can handle but I saw a tablet being used as well. Sorry tried to upload pictures and after an afternoon of searching the forums on how to do it, i still cant get it. Just google "soundgate m2 car mount" you wont be dissapointed.
I have this one. I love it. Works with any case, holds tight. I have mine in the vents. http://www.breffo.com/collections/spiderpodium

That looks interesting, never seen that before. How do you put that in your vent? Looks like it wasn't designed for that.

you just kinda put it in the vents, and then bend it down. works great! It really stays put too. Check out the gallery section on the site, there are other pics of it in the vents. Got one for a friend and he loves it. It really does hold tight in the vent, even more so then ones designed for the vent. Easy to take out too

Can I order if I live in the U.S.? Also I don't see the gallery.

That looks really cool. Does it go it and out of the CD player easily? Do you just leave it there or is it easy enough to quickly plug in when you want?
Does it still "see" the satellites well enough from the lower position in the car?
I assume you can confirm the GS3 fits well in it even though it says it's for iphone?
Anyone know of other CD mounts to compare to?
Amazon review for this one you got are generally very good.

It goes in very easy. It only takes a few seconds to install. It holds the S III securely even with a case on it.

Does it hold the phone in the vertical position, or only horizontal?

Don't know if people just don't know about these or just don't like them. I got mine back in February and used it on my old E4GT and now the S3, I absolutly love it! The key is, for me anyways, getting a TPU case( always use TPU so no biggie there ) take an exacto knife and cut a perfect sized cut out for the tiny magnet. If you do it correctly the looks isn't bad at all( use the small magnet, works fine for me ) and more importantly it wont 'wobble' on the table, lays flat. Sorry don't have any pics of my old setup and haven't cut out my new one yet. Also, nice that we have replaceable back covers in case you're worried about it marring up the back if you want to remove it later.
As far as construction quality, magnet hold strenght both are superb, haven't hadd one inceidentl fall off the holder. Also magent doesn't seem to interfer with wifi or cell at all. NFC I haven't tested yet, but my suggestion would be to mount it towards the top side of the case away from the battery( like were the carrier logo is on the back )
Anyways just my 2 cents, check out youtube they have a couple good reviews of it on there.

wow that's nice! Why did you have to cut out a hole in your case, the link says it comes with a case (I'm assuming with the magnet attached)!

In search of a vehicle dock that will accommodate the size of the Galaxy S III with a case.
Preferably one that fits in the heating/AC vents, or mounts on the front of your dashboard and not on top of the dashboard. I guess one without the suction cup.
Going to be mainly used for Navigation.
Any suggestions?

ProClip. It is a little more money, but well worth it. I would get the proper mount for your vehicle (vent or side mount) and the adjustable phone mount so you can use it with a case. The also make a clip so you can move the mount from car to car.
Sadly, mine was recently stolen, but they offered me a discount because of my loss.
So I created a ghetto version as a sort of joke in exchange.
