I received my mount and I have to say I really want to like this mount but I have issues with the discs. I cleaned the back of my case to get rid of the oil from the fingers and placed the disc onto the back of the cover. When placing the phone onto the mount and turning, the disc starts to rotate and eventually comes off. I do not feel that the disc will hold very well. I am trying to figure out what I can do to make this work. Anyone else have issues?

Garrett, I masked off a small circle on the back of my cheapie eBay case and sanded off the rubberized coating. The smooth clean surface of the underlying plastic takes the disc very well and is rock solid. Here are some pics I took during the process.
About 20 strips of masking tape......(see pic below)
The results after sanding and cleaning with alcohol.....it's not perfect, but the spot is a little smaller than the disc, so the less-than-perfect edges are not visible.(see pic below)
The finished product.(see pic below)

I read that the best place to put the disc is towards the middle of the EVO, so you can use it in either horizontal or vertical. I've got mine, just waiting on a cheapo case to use instead of on the phone itself.
It's mounted and ready to go in the car, can't wait for the case!
i put my disc on so that tab would keep it locked in good horizontally, but i can still use it vertically if i wanted to. It came with a extra disc, so i guess if i wanted to i could also put it on so that it would be locked in good vertically as well.
I bought two of these mounts and is just awesome. So sturdy!

I just bought this after reading another 4 page thread. I bought two using the WOOT code, and bought a snap-on plastic case for the disc attachment. I have a 2007 Honda Civic and was wondering where to put it and when I saw your pics I realized that you probably found the best spot. Awesome!
I also use the Evo for gps and would like to keep it in a horizontal position. Does the rubber disc need to face a certain direction when being placed in order to lock it in horizontally instead of vertically?
Also, it seems that GPS drain is greater than the recharge from my car charger
I use this:

Is this normal? Is there any solution? Thanks!

I just wanted to pass along my latest revelation. the evo otterbox fits in a garmin widow mount. You place it in just like you would the gps. Its not a perfect fit, but will hold just fine. I have been on two offroad trips with my jeep and it has not fallen out once.
EDITED FOR PICS
these are the best pics I could get. Its too dark to get a decent pic outside. It slides left to right with minimal effort, when I first tried it I didnt think it would work out well, but it has not slid on its own in several trips and about 15 miles of dirt road.
it also works well for video when you slide it all the way to the left.

as you can see, the clips just barely go around the chine of the case (the little lip where it goes from the side to the back of the case)
It gives it enough support to hold, one could add some type of nonskid padding to the bracket to prevent any movement. It shakes less than my mirrors do while driving down the road.
If it works on my rig, it should work on yours. Im willing to bet my ride shakes and wobbles more than the average car.
post a pic please

edit added to first post
What model of Garmin is the mount from? Or, are they all the same?
The otterbox commuter is CRAP. I've gone through 2 of them and gave up. The rubber along the bottom front of the phone is flimsy and stretches out VERY easily. Friction from taking out of my front pocket was enough to permanently deform it.

I got a universal vent/window mount from RadioShack and it works great... I use the vent mount in my wife's car and the window one in my truck..
The vent mount is a little bit of a pain to get on there and take off but it's pretty sturdy once it's locked in there... and it was only like $15-$20; it has some firm foam on both sides of the "grabbers" so that it holds really tight
Oh yeah, I have the OtterBox commuter on the phone too

a bit pricey but good quality. I like the soft suede-like inside lining, and the outer leather has a nice feel to it. adds a bit of weight, but having the option to stand in multiple angles makes up for it

I got this with my tab at the launch on the 8th in NYC. I still have not opened it because I am not sure if I want to keep it or buy the official Samsung one. They did give us the free leather pouch but I want a stand ability as well. I am so torn....
I just got my tab yesterday and got this case with it. I really do like it. It feels really good and the bit of weight it adds makes the tab feel more secure when carrying it around.
I got the soft case myself. I wanted to minimize the additional weight.

yea I was gonna wait it out for the Samsung case, but it looks like you won't be able to stand it on different angles like the Belkin. it's good to be able to prop the tab on your lap like a laptop and for watching videos.
Question to other owners of this case
does yours have a second/unnecessary cutout underneath the left speaker hole cutout? I have it on mine and I don't see the purpose of it.

Yes, probably for a SIM card or a microSD card which never happened.
I like the feel of this case but the only thing I DO NOT like about it is that it doesn't "close." There is no velcro or magnetic closure of any sort so mine is going back as soon as I find something else.

ah well like I said I havent opened it yet, I will potentially since your point about the angles is a valid point. I think you kinda can make angles with the samsung one though but in a not very sturdy way since it uses the flap to hold itself up in the back creating a "^" look
I have this one too, in the blue color. I don't understand the purpose of the cutout on the left side. Anyone have any ideas?

I just realized that you can close it. If you turn the elastic strap.. it goes over the cover flap
So far I like it. Makes it feel like a book. Don't like the extra weight it gives, but I guess that's protection etc. Looking at the Samsung book case. Might switch them out. We will see.

Its essentially the same design as the verve but not leather.
In a previous post someone linked a youtube review to the verve. In regards to the typing angle issue in that the reviewer brings up, I've gotten around that by typing on the tab with the camera side down. This allows you slide the latched section of the case beneath the tab for a great typing angle.
My only beef with the case is the charging issue which was stated in a previous post

I'd have to disagree on your point about typing angle. You can get the angle as low as the comparison case you had there. The bottom of the slide in flap is grippy, so it stays on the edge of the cover. I'm typing at that low angle now and on my lap.
Actually you can close it, there's a strap that you can flop over to hold it closed.
Think it's an excellent product with one flaw: can't use it properly (i.e. propped up) while charging the device. The charger plugs in on the bottom.
So I bought a G10.1 last week and I love it! I am always looking to get the most out of my purchases and since I always use my phone in my car (HTC Evo Shift 4G) I instantly started looking for Car mounting options. I found some big gawdy universal mounts, and a few really nice (but high dollar) mounts, then as I was walking through the local Walmart, something just happen to catch my eye!

Yes, that is a picture of those el-cheapo plastic self adhesive hooks, for $1.99 a pack. The gears started turning...
I picked them up, knowing the adheive was going to be junk for what I wanted to use them for (wouldn't hold to the heat/cold)... but I carry 3M Double Sided EXTREME Tape in my Jeep because you never know what you will need to mount to the dash...
So when I got home, I lined it up, and found that the mounting spots I was hoping to use matched perfect. At first I used all 4, but then took one of the top corner hooks off, making it easier to "slide" into the other three, yet still holding it rock solid. It covers the middle vents, so I closed them, which pushes the air to the other ones.
** NOTE ** I have a ZAGG InvisibleSHEILD and a Chinese bumper-style case from e-bay on it, this allows it to "snap" into place, and I don't have to worry about the hooks on the screen... Use caution, I am not responsible for you marking your tablet up.
Here is a picture of "Car Dashboard"... I was unable to find any other tablet ready Car Dock apps, but this one seems to work well for now...
One more with Google Maps
One with Google Music (I have it Wifi Tethered to my phone)
If you have your own mounting solutions, lets see em!
@TechJeeper
Neat. Looks like the ideal situation would be having black ones, put two pointing up on the bottom, one on each side pointing to each other, and then having enough space to slide the tablet down from above.
i did something a little different about a week ago. its a mount made for the tab that i modded with a phone mount that hooks to the air vents. its really sturdy.

The lip that hangs over the dash on the Grand Cherokee makes it impossible to slide in from the top... that was my first idea... but this seems to work well. I plan on replacing them with Black hooks in the future, but they were more expensive, and I wasnt sure if this was even gonna work.
The 10.1 is to big for my mx5 :-| im looking for used 7" tab to play around with. They look like i could mount it so it sticks out of the double din just enough to power and plug In
Nice, I've been wanting to do something similar in my jeep as well. Unfortunately, I dropped my tab (face first) on concrete yesterday and shattered the front glass.

Since you're using an alternate, stronger adhesive, you could cut the circle part of the hooks down to look more presentable while the tab is not present. Just an idea.

Sadly though I can't use a steering stem mount. The hole is only 0.25 and it needs to be atleast 0.50.
That medium aqua box, is it bulky?
Ah, that's too bad, I'm sure you can find somewhere to mount another RAM ball though!
The aqua box is definitely bulkier than a non-waterproof case, but it's not so bulky that it gets in the way while riding even when I tuck behind my windscreen. I'll try to snap a few pictures for you in the next day or two, not positive when I'll have a chance since my bike is in storage at the moment though.

There's a clutch-reservoir attachment that will fit with my Suzuki SV650S, atleast according to their website. So I might go with that solution.
And I would very much appreciate some pictures of your waterproof case. Can you do some photo's where the bike is in full view aswell? Just for the overall comparison between case size and bike size

This list has several configurations with this mount (windsheild suction cup, Ubolt, handlebar mount, etc)
gpscity.com/search/q=universal+pda+mount
When I bought my Droid 2 years ago, I just dropped it in this universal spring loaded mount I was using for my PDA and it worked great.
I am going to order another to have in my car so I won't have to keep moving it back and forth from my bike. I expect to be able to use these mounts for any phone I buy in the foreseeable future (I am waiting on my GN to arrive in the mail right now). You can put whatever type mount you want with it to attach it to the bike or car.
I ride a Honda VFR 750 and do alot of long rides with it.
This will not offer protection from rain, but if it is very light rain, I usually just keep one of those stretchy type plastic kitchen bowl covers that have the elastic cord around the outside. They are made out of the same stuff ziplock bags are made of. The right size will stretch over the entire mount and keep it dry as long as you are not riding in a downpour.
Kind of stinks that none of these mounts (the Verizon one especially) don't have inputs for any of the cables. So you basically have to rip the case off, dock it, then connect everything every time. Make me sad they cant do what Motorola does and build em to work with all of that =(
This might help you sir, try Googling RAM Motorcycle Mount. Still can't post external links.

I'm using a smart gear car mount ($15 at Micro Center) that has been working very well. I have a case on my phone that protects the buttons a bit so I haven't had any issues with it. I haven't tried it without the case on but I think it would be ok without, just probably would squeeze it quite as tight on the phone as I do with the case on.

I have that. It's pretty ridiculous. Every few weeks I pull it off the mount (which is easy) and wash it under warm or hot water. Sticky as new again.
Do not use that with a naked phone, It will pull the back cover off LOL!
If you have a slot-loading cd slot on your car stereo, you can use this.

I've been using it for about two years, bought it for my original Galaxy Note and fits the LG OGP as well. It won't damage the slot and it doesn't jerk around or bounce with the car's movements.

This will hold onto the OGP with a Zerolemon and supplied case.
I really dig it.
I have never had a phone fall off this yet.

Think it'll hold up to some minor off-roading?

I work at officemax and this mount was on sale for around $10 on black friday last year, so I got it. Great mount. Holds the G Pro very securely, and very easy to adjust, too.

I just got the vent mount version of that holder and it works surprisingly well with the OG Pro. I thought it would be loose, but it did a great job on a road trip.
As far as Off Roading, I drive a Subaru Baja.... So I have no idea LMAO!
I got the iBolt xProDock (the generic one) and the thing is great, not interfering with the buttons at all, and it's rock solid. I do use it with a TPU case, rather than bare, mind you.

I also got one of those universal clip-style mounts (not the dock style ones). It's actually pretty good too, though there's no real way to fix a charging cable to it without it looking strange. Also, with my windshield's angle, I had to adjust the thing to the stops at both ends for the OGP to be angled properly. It would probably work better on a more vertical windshield.

I bought the one for the F240 from overseas off ebay, it is a direct snap in fit.
Hopefully I'll get it soon.

Best I've ever use. Don't block your display either (depends on system)

I ordered one of those, it's to big. Seems like it was designed for the Galaxy Note 2 and someone repurposed it.

Anyone considering Nokia's universal wireless charging cradle CR-200 http://www.nokia.com/global/products/accessory/cr-200/
Seems like it will fit our LGPro but not sure if the 0.750A will be sufficient to keep the charge while running navigation... Any thoughts?

I still have my RAM mount when I had a Nexus 7. This thing was solid and they also make universal mounts for phones. You have to purchase the base to connect to your car though. I had one that mounts to the base of the passenger side seat. This was set up for a tablet though. Nexus 7's make awesome GPS There's lots of different choices you can mix and match parts to make a custom mount as long as they're compatible with each other.

I went old school.............
Low gauge sheet metal, check!
Sheet Metal Bender, check!
Industrial grade velcro, check!
I cut a 2" wide by 5" long piece of sheet metal and I bent it 90 degrees, took three screws and screwed the angle sleeve into the dash.
Applied 1 side of the velcro to the angle sleeve, over the top, so the the velcro doesn't want to peel off the sleeve.
Applied the other side of the velcro to the back of the phone and it's done.
I wrap the usb cord around the bottom of the sleeve below the phone. My phone doesn't move, and it's very usable
