Car mount

when someone actually gets one of these home charger/dock combo's and confirms they fit and work, could you please post here, with the link to the one you bought?
so many of these things are junk, and dont fit the phone, that I am afraid to try another one that doesnt work, after getting burned already
thanks

I actually bought a zuuma z4 and took it for a spin this morning. Wow that thing is solid! It stayed put even after a 120 degree turn at 20 mph!
It has an adjustable cradle with soft padding that holds my evo in place and gives it some protection.
I really only have 2 problems with it. It took me a while to figure out how to mount it properly as it comes with no proper instructions. Second, its byoc (bring your own charger).
Great for $30!!!

zuuma looks very nice...too bad they dont make a home desktop/spare battery charger

I am not buying the home dock, as I don't have a use for it...but I am buying the car mount and will report back how it works. Coming from the other side of the world though, so it will be 10 - 15 days before i report back.

Does the zuuma cover up the camera in the back? I am looking for a good dock so I can video some car racing (autocross).

if it does, just get the ebay one and drill a nice hole on the holder

They sale a generic universal (rebranded) one at Wal-Mart that clamps on to the phone with thick foam padding. It's pretty stable and clips securely into the vents (or screws in / etc). It's like $9.99. Best of all, you don't have to remove your protective case to use it, since it adjusts with a button.
Food for thought.

I wonder if it'll still fit if your phone has a case on. If not, that's a deal breaker.

If Car Mount is specifically made for EVO, why in the description does it say "Suction cup with lock clip to ensure your iphone 4 remains in place"
Same crap Products with different labeling

I just got my ebay order. This is the second item l got from the same seller. Unfortunately, the dock was shipped with no protective packaging, and part of the suction cup was broken. I'm hoping to get a replacement. There is a hole in the holder for the camera. Looks like the box was opened by customs, or was shipped broken because the broken piece was missing upon receipt. The holder is tight-fitting, and has 4 locking slots similar to my magellan dock. Build quality is ok for 6 bucks, but I doubt one would be able too fit an evo with a case in the holder. I have a zaggskin on mine. I previously purchased the battery charger and 2 batteries from this vendor.

I received the car dock today and it works pretty well. There is a cutout for the camera, has to holders on the bottom (or side if you leave in portrait) and a flexible clip on the top. Has the universal 4 peg holder and the large middle so if you don't like their holder or need one with a longer neck you can get one. I have not tried it in the car as of this writing, only in the house to try out the fit. It is perfect without a case - with my "Barely There" case it fits, but no quite right. I will post pictures very soon so all can see what I mean.

Easy enough...
Don't bother with this one. The fit on the car dock is tight...too tight. Left small, very tough to see, scratches. You may not notice, but I did and I am not happy with this one.
Not worth the few bucks it cost.

DealExtreme just got it in for a little cheaper. They are good with refunding your money too when it comes to problems.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40745

Does anyone know if the dealextreme or ebay car holder will work if you have an extended battery with a larger back panel?? I ordered the extended 3000 mah battery off eBay.
Also, I just wanted to point out that the eBay car dock and the deal extreme one are definitely different.

I got the car dock and I really like it. It's a snug fit but the Evo pops in and out easily enough (I did not get any scratches on it). The Evo is held very securely and does not vibrate while the car is moving. There is maximum up/down and left/right adjustment and when the best postion is found you lock it in with two big hand screws. Overall I'm very satisfied.

You forgot to tell us which one you got!! There have been a few mentioned. And can it be used with a case?

Best Car dock/Mount!!!

Just wanted to post this review of a mount I bought on ebay ( will get the name and link soon )
I only took one pic so far when I first got it. But it totally AWESOME!!!
It might seem a little weird to many people and it did with me at first too..
Why, because it mounts INTO the cd player of your car.. You can do other slits in your dash but its designed for your cd player..
As for the quality, it looks very stout it feels a little cheaper than it looks but after a few weeks now, in my VW golf and hitting hard bumps, it holds like a champ..
What I love about it, it will rotate either way and will angle either way..
So if my passenger wants to watch a movie or something, easily done.. Or when using navigation and Car Panel I keep it in Portrait mode..
I cannot get over the PERFECTNESS of this mount.. I couldn't DREAM of a better place to put it or mount it..
It takes seconds to install, you just slide the mount into the cd, where a cd would go and tighten the screw..
THATS IT!!
the only thing I did do was cut the bottom leg that holds the bottom of the phone as its not needed, plus I only cut the Bottom U portion of it (hard to explain) so the charger wouldn't have any pressure on it..
In anycase Ill get more pics soon, but I just wanted to RAVE about this product.. And for only 15 bucks its the best investment I made with this phone.

EDIT!!
Also why I love the way this mount is, it feels like I have a flip up dvd radio.. Only better because its an EVO
I also have the Otterbox Commuter and Extended battery.. Both configurations work PERFECT.. tight and snug.
Here is the ebay link
http://cgi.ebay.com/MOUNTEK-Car-Mou...714120?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item230bbbd388

Is the model number MT5000? I want to make sure I have the right one before I order from the company's website.

Yep MT5000

sweet find! i'm using my unused ashtray right now, but sharp curves/brakes make it fall off. i think i'm going to bite the bullet on this one...

purchased, thanks for the tip.. -m

I friggen love this thing! Got it last week and it's the best mount you can find. Great quality!

this seems like a VERY unusual mount. So this would make my cdplayer useless while this is mounted?

Yes, if mounted in the CD player, you would not be able to play a CD.
It does work very well though and puts the phone in the perfect place for me in my truck. You can also use it in other places you have room to slide the mount into.
I've been using mine daily for the past three weeks with no issues and nothing but praise.

I got http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ELOOZO/ref=oss_product from Amazon. Works GREAT with my EVO and my wife's BB and instincts. For $15 it is definitely worth it.

I bought the mount that the OP gave a link to. I really like it and have ordered 2 more for friends for Christmas gifts. Easy to install (if you can call it that - you just insert it ), functional, my charger fits into the port and the mount doesn't interfere, rotates easily, sturdy. SOOooooo much better and safer to have my Evo mounted like this as I use it for navigation and streaming music.

Thanks for the info on this mount. Got one ordered last night.

looks good but i wish it wasnt soo bulky

Good find, I also have the commuter case and didn't feel like taking it on and off if I got the official HTC mount.

I ordered the Mountek mount suggested by the OP. Works great, and keeps the phone in the most convenient location on my dash.
Now with a good mount I realized I need a way to connect to the car's audio system, so I just ordered an inline FM modulator. This will provide an aux in jack so I can stream Pandora, etc. I'm also thinking of wiring in a mic up near the visor so I can have a totally built-in hands-free system.
Thanks OP!

amazing reviews for it looks like itd be perfect for my tibby. ordering now

This is the best car mount BY FAR!
The green part is sticky and works with any case just about unless yours is slicked up and oiled. Same stuff on the bottom with suction.
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10788467

The soundgate m2 worked great for my hero and I am going to use the same for my new evo. Would suggest it only if you have a case as you have to attach a coin size disk. Awesome mount!
evo, It's the poop!

Once you get it plugged into your aux in jack, you will be handsfree. At least that is how iw work for me. When I'm plugged into my (built-in) aux in calls come through my speakers, when I anser I am on speaker phone and the caller's voice is on the car's speakers. It. Is. Sweet!

I got a similar product manufactured by platinum at bestbuy, and within the first few days it started to lose its stickiness. After my phone fell out face-first onto my gear shift twice, I'd had enough. I returned it to bestbuy (at least they refund your money, no questions asked) and went looking for a better alternative.
I settled on a car dock I found at my local at&t store which I guess was designed for the iphone4. It has mechanical locking arms with a release button, good padding, a strong mechanical suction cup for mounting on the windshield, and an adjustable arm.
I am much more satisfied with the new mount, don't fear my evo falling out of it at all, and have it mounted landscape below my rear view mirror - very convenient.

Car Vent mounted holder

What do you think of this? Looks like it'll do the job as it allows a case on the phone and it rotates. Think I might order one, what do you reckon? Although I wonder if it would press against the power on/off button.
I don't think many vent mounted holders rotate, at least, I could only find one other.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Vent-...ers_Mounts&hash=item2564feb988#ht_1506wt_1396
I was considering this one too, but not sure if it'll take a case and I read one persons review somewhere that on a hot day the glue melted on part of the holding part and his phone fell.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Air-V...ers_Mounts&hash=item5d2fe2012d#ht_2590wt_1163

i think you might struggle to get to the power button on the first one. but that seller does offer 7 day money back...so worth a punt.
and your right, i don't think the second one will take a case too.
I went for a cup holder mount (don't like stuff on the screen) for my MINI.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arkon-SM423...DF1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314369504&sr=8-1
works a treat!

Do you use your CD player in the car? I use a car mount where it mounts to the opening of the CD. Works great!
search eBay phone CD mount.
You can kind of see it in this picture,

Thanks guys. Cup holder would be decent, but my car doesn't have one, at least, not a proper deep one.
Nice car lexi, I guess that's why you called yourself that
Yeah, I use my player, so that wouldn't work for me. Might still go for the
first one I linked and hope it doesn't press too hard on the power button. I'll message the seller and ask him if it does that. As long as it doesn't, then I certainly don't need access to it as I always have the phone on anyway.

I've tried all sorts of car mounts (including the official Samsung Galaxy S II car dock), but nothing worked for my requirements, except for Exomount.
Here's my requirements: I want to be able to video-record my driving on the background (as evidence in court in case of an accident), and have Navigon running concurrently on the foregound.
Most car mounts would block the video lense, and would interfere with the volume rocker of the S II.
However, Exomount would stick anywhere (not just the windshield)...including the car dashboard, thus allowing you to adjust it so that it wouldn't block the camera lense or interfere with the side buttons.
If you want the cheap and nasty mounts on ebay that don't work as promised, you get what you pay for.

First ones quality is very bad and cheap. Sides are way big and ugly for this phone. Legs are not fixed and WILL break off very soon.
Second one does not fit if you buy samsung original 2000mAh extended battery. Actually I have been looking for nice car mount for extended battery and have found only one that may suit: hxxp://w w w.ebay.co.uk/itm/180724628107?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Dammnit, this is why I STILL don't own a vent mounted phone holder for the SGS2.
I mean, where on earth I do find a good quality one that rotates, is vent mounted, doesn't block the power button, takes a case, and won't fall apart?? You'd think someone would have made one by now.

I might consider this one instead...

http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/9586/front5j.jpg
If so, I think that could be the one to get, and I need a charger too, so that would be handy.
edit: I've just messaged the seller to ask if he knows if it'll fit with the case on.
My only concern is how stable the mount is. Check these two out. I think the first one is the same as the ebay link ?
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-car-vent-holder-p31451.htm
But does this second one share the same mount system, I can't tell.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/universal-phone-vent-holder-p27265.htm
If so, I'm a bit concerned about one review:
"Great holder easy to fit to the vent in my van, very adjustable to get the phone in exactly the right position, even holds my iphone secure with the added thickness of an ijuice battery case fitted. Unfortunately the glue that holds the metal fixing bar into the plastic of the phone holder can't be strong enough and with the extremes of heat in a vehicle left in the sun, the bar releases from the glue and holder and falls off ! thankfully my phone wasn't attached at the time. The holder is so versatile that I didn't want to get rid, and with the use of a small black cable tie, is secure and tightly fitted back to my vent ( only a solution if you don't mind your holder permanently attached ) i rate the holder , shame about the fixing to the vent."

Breffo Spiderpodium http://www.breffo.com/
I have used this in vents, steering wheel, Dash - This thing is so flexible and strong with the best grip and is just plain versatile. Best thing I have purchased for my device - You can find it for a reasonable price on Amazon UK and Ebay.

There's no way I'd have something I'd have to spend several minutes bending and ensuring all the legs are securing the phone every time I get in the car tbh. Nice concept though.

It stays in the same position. You just slot the phone in to whatever shape you have prepared (Once) It is exactly the same as any other mount but has the ability to change shapes and fit in more obscure positions.

Awesome, I found 2 vent mounts which look pretty decent. I'm going to definitely buy one of these. I've messaged them to ask if the first one will work with my case instead of theirs. If it doesn't, then the second one with the extendable side clasps will be fine.

As uppon said, once it's in the vent, it stays in position and you don't have to rebend the legs to hold the phone. They're springy enough that you can just "clip" the phone into the prebent legs and it'll hold it perfectly.

Ah, I see. I didn't realise they're springy. I was thinking you'd have to bend out the prongs each time to get the phone in and then press them down in place again. But what if you want to quickly rotate the phone between portrait and landscape?
Anyway, I just ordered and paid for this, so I'm looking forward to it now : http://www.ultimate-mobiles.co.uk/m...g-galaxy-s2/car-kits/air-vent-mount___645.htm

Convert Otterbox Belt Clip Into Car mount

Hey guys and gals,
Thought I would share my Otterbox belt clip hack with you. I wanted the otterbox case, but not the belt clip. And since the Verizon Galaxy Nexus doesn't have the 3-pin car mount yet I figured a way to make that stupid beltclip into something usefull.
Items needed:
1.) Galaxy Nexus
2.) Otterbox Galaxy Nexus case with Belt Clip
3.) Razorblade
4.) Propane torch or lighter
5.) File
6.) Old Spherical joint off cheep old car mount (I used one from an old Ipod mount)
7.) JB Weld or similar 2part epoxy
8.) 1/8" Headphone jack cable
9.) USB-to-microUSB cable with Right Angle End
10.) Time
Break or cut 1/2 of the clip off the back of the belt clip. Sand and use hot razor to smooth as necessary. Take an old spherical joint and JB weld to remaining half of belt clip (sand where bond will take place to promote adhesion). Use hot knife to open up bottom of belt clip to allow headphone jack and microUSB to be fully accessed for charging and audio out. File and sand as necessary. Mount to car, Run Cables, Enjoy. It is nice because the belt clip already had a detented rotation so you can rotate the phone to portrait or landscape easily.

That is amazing.
in a quick suggestion though, run to wallgreens and buy a nail file. It should have like 4 areas of different grit on it. (remove, cant remember,smooth,shine) (could be numbered as well) i know its weird walking in the makeup and nail area but with that nail file you could really make that bottom cutout look non existent. that is literally the only problem i see with that setup. How is the removal? Quick snap or a double hander?

Snap in and out is great. I know what you mean about the file marks, but my car is worth less than the retail price of my phone so I kinda let it go. I might use the nail file idea, and then flat black paint the JB Weld so it looks cleaner. I am just happy it works so well.
Here is a video of the rotation: http://youtu.be/F4hitx81UVg

Is that a honda? Kinda looking like the interior of mine. and this is pretty sick, i have an otterbox case, and it came with the holster. Im definitely in the need of a cardock but im not spending $50 on the piece of plastic they are selling. This is genius. im really thinking about it. Maybe tomorrow ill examine the potential of this. Well see.

Yup, 1994 honda accord with 235k. Love the car, and still runs like a champ.

I have a 1996 civic with 195k. Havent quite passed up 200 yet, getting their. And i knew it was a honda becuase that looks like mine but switched around a little bit. buttons look the same though. At least mine has a computer for quick emissions testing. yours must be a fun one to take in.

Try Velcro Brand Removable Picture Hanger with the unidirectional hooks (search Amazon for exactly that term). Should also be available at Walmart or Lowes.
Loop on the back of the phone, hook upside down somewhere on your car dash or radio. I'll take pictures of my setup later. Works like a charm. Slide the phone upwards to disengage.

nevermind...

I thought of this same idea. I found this thread and I am glad to see that you also had to file the bottom and it still worked. I would like to use my audio jack as well
edit: I considered getting a bluetooth wireless receiver but why should I? Every single one on amazon around $20 says it disconnects after pausing or something like that. I'm just gonna use my dremel on that pesky extra plastic blocking the aux port.
I just finished and it turned out quite nicely. pics soon
Taken with my trusty old DROID INCREDIBLE! (Running ICS )
I shook it up a little bit, it is still really really sturdy and you have to lift up that tab if you want the phone to pop out.
I was uncomfortable fully destroying the belt clipon so I just super glued part of my mount to the back so I can easily use the belt buckle again if I want. I don't think the plastic I took off really changes the performance much. I probably will never use the belt buckle... lol -.-
I will have pics of it mounted tomorrow.

Imagnet magnetic car mount

This is a magnetic phone holder. Ive ordered two of these and will post pics/video when they arrive. Looks like a great product.
I also talked to John from the company and suggested they build in qi charging capabilities!
This is on sale for $19.99 and free shipping.

The mount showed up yesterday and is awesome!
I will post a video as soon as i have time. Its still very busy at work from Hurricane Sandy!
I am using this with my UAG case and it works great. NFC works too. Qi test to follow when i get my receiver from China.
There is a small metal disc that sits between your case and phone. Its round and smaller than a half dollar. Thickness is very thin. Its just a hair more than 4 sheets of copier paper. Its much thinner than i thought it would be.
There are also two additional metal discs that have 3m tape on them you can use for other devices. These are the same thickness but are retecangular. Im guessing they are about 2" x 2.5".
The mount has a super sticky suction cup on the bottom. On top where you place your phone, it is soft and flat. This top piece has a ball mount on it so you can swivel it.
See pic below showing the trimmed down rectangular one to fit in the groove of my uag case.
This is a steal at $19.99! Order now before the sale is over!
Update with short video on cinder block wall! Show me another mount that works like this!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7831O59lbD8&feature=em-share_video_user

This is very nice, I wonder if I can slip that metal between my hyperion batt and seidio cover, not sure if there is enough room.

Its pretty thin. I was able to slip it in between my blackberry cover and battery. I cut it with a good pair of electrician scissors. It's like a thin piece of sheetmetal and is flexible. Try 5 sheets of cut paper, not folded. If that works, you wont have a problem cause its a little thinner than 5 sheets.

Thanks I will def try it and get it if it fits, thx again

just a caution depending on how you place etc.. this may break NFC

How well does this hold up with bumpy roads, I live in Michigan pot hole season is coming also does the charge cord drag the phone down. It looks really cool.

If you put the disc right over the battery, it will hinder nfc. If you move it down a little, nfc works as normal.
Bumps have no effect. I used it in my work van all day today and it never fell off. Also, the cord does not drag it down or spin it in horizontal mode.

Awesome thanks for the reply

dumb question i know, but how does this affect the phone? I mean with such a strong magnet. I know the old "dumb" phones don't always play nice with magnets but what about the newer phones

The magnet is in the mount. The piece in the phone is metal. I havent noticed any problems so far.

How does this affect the compass while driving?

well, it depends on what you mean by "compass". while using navigation, it doesn't at all (because that is dictated by your movement.) IF you are using the magnetic compass in the phone.. you are always going south. even Ulysses speedometer reads fine (my favorite "car mode" app.)

I just bought the iOttie. Haven't received it yet, but it got TONS of great reviews. Amazon. Check it out on YouTube.

I had an iottie universal mount (not the one touch) that lasted a week. The suction cup part broke and the suction cup came detached. It was flimsy junk.
Having used both, there is no comparison. The iotte (even the one touch) has a basic clear 25 cent suction cup on it. The imagnet one is super sticky black material. I just dont see an advantage to a clamping style mount versus a magnetic. There is no way i could EVER use a clamp style mount again!
The imagnet suction cup has a patent!

I have found that the iMagnet stand works quite well with the magnets from the Touchstone mod. I also bought a Khomo rubberized back plate to increase the friction so it doesn't slide. It doesn't work particularly well with a case but is pretty stable otherwise. I've driven around for a couple of days now and my phone hasn't budged. My grand plan is to affix an NFC chip to the iMagnet so that I can just set my phone on it and all of my settings will revert to car mode.

Let us know when you do. I would like to know if there is NFC interference with the magnet and/or metal plate.
That is what is holding me off from buying one of these mounts.

Nfc is not an issue with the metal plate. I will try the magnets later tonight but im guessing it wont be a problem as noted in the touchstone threads.
Case wise, it works great with the round metal plate in both the uag case and incipio silicrylic case.

I don't believe that the NFC should be a problem. I have tried NFC with my Nexus 7 and the Touchstone mod doesn't affect it. Since the NFC chip will sit above the iMagnet base it shouldn't interfere. I think the key is keeping the metal plate/magnets in the bottom half of the phone since the NFC is located at the top of the battery. Once I get everything rigged I will try to upload pictures to better explain.
Also just to be clear I am not using the metal plate from the iMagnet kit and am only relying on the magnets from the Touchstone mod to hold it to the iMagnet base.
