I use a car mount that I got from walmart years ago. Its one of those ones that clips to the vent.

I have the same case, but it is clear plastic and hard, not rubberized, so it actually provide some type of drop protection.
I added the disk to the back of the case, and it is great. Keeps the camera off the table when I set it down, and you don't notice the disk while its in your pocket.
That car mount is the nicest mount I have ever used. It is rock solid when installed. The disk will NOT firmly attach to the evo battery cover, the textured paint will cause it to fall off. The service from the guys that sell that case is absolutely top notch, I would buy again from them in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the idea. Ordered the exact samething, except I got the black case since that would match my car better. Same price too.

*This was posted from my Evo 4G*

I didn't want to cover my EVO with a case, so I needed to get a car dock similar to the one I had on my iPhone. No Universal car docs for me.
Look up item 250638968146 on eBay.
I just ordered one, i'll let everyone know how it works out when it comes in.

I am using the HD2 deck. I already had the base from my previous phones (the base and phone deck are seperate pieces).

Just ordered the same setup!! nice idea!

i just ordered two of them beause i have another weekend car. how is it on bumps? does it look as if its gonna fall off? im just worried about the phone falling off because i have stiff suspension on my other car.
is the clip on backplate sturdy enough?
thanks for posting the code though, thats awesome

<sorry, I cannot post a link or image yet>
I'm using scosche's mount for iphone 3gs(IPH3G). It is a bit tight for my evo, but I really like its flexible windshield mount, and this tightness makes the phone stay within the dock in any position.
fiy, I just got "Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover: $3.22", and it also fits with this mount.. (more tight than before though...)

Any tips on getting the disc to stick on the case?
I've used both of the disks, and they stay decenly on the case until I actually try to dock it in the M2... as soon as I try to rotate the device at all the disk just pops right off

I had the same issue. Super glue solved the problem. The adhesive they provide will not bond to anything (in my case, Seidio Innocase Active Limited Edition Black, the slightly ruberized exo-skeleton part). Works great now and I don't think its gonna fall off anytime soon.

I just bought one as well... this will be my first non proclip mount and I am happy about the discount - so much so that I bought 2 of them and a red case! Thanks for the tip! I will send pics when they arrive and I mount them - lets see if the summer heat melts them away!

installed last week
I didn't want to post a reply until I actually used it for a little while but now I can actually say... what a fantastic mount. I have it braced against my dash and installed the disc on the back of my active case. Unbelievable how unobtrusive thewhole set up is compared to a normal dock. Would recommend to anybody. FYI get a Bluetooth receiver. Unlimited data from Sprint means you can stream all day long

I was surprised to hear you had problems with the disk... did you swab the hell out of the case with the alcohol swab that came with, the case felt a little dusty so that is very important... I actually tried to get mine OFF and had a hell of a time and gave up. Another question, is the disk on the phone or the case I recommend?
Glad to hear its being enjoyed by some as much as I have enjoyed mine.

Well, to be totally honest the alcohol wipe I received was mostly dry when I openened it, and I figured the case was new so I didn't bother wiping it, although I used what little alcohol that was on it to wipe down my dash before applying the dash mount. However, I have noticed after all this that case does have a dusty feel out of the box, so maybe that was it.
It also seems the disk-in-the-mount is a tight fit... once it falls off of my case, I almost need a pair of pliers to rotate the disk and pull it out.
I'll try superglue and see if that helps.

Has anyone tried this car mount from Clingo?

It looks really cool but I wonder how functioanal it...
http://www.jr.com/category/office/accessories/cellular-phones/docks/page-20/

You do realize that there are at least 10 different car mount kits on that page? Which one specifically are you talking about?

Doesn't matter...I think the OP is asking about the concept. This material is like glue but does not leave a residue on your phone. So...does this clingo material really work? If so...it may work for iPads too that are tethered to our Evo's.
Looks really cool. I'll be a guinea pig and buy one of these to see if they really work.
In our family we have Evo, iPhone, iPad...if this sticks to all 3 that would be great...1 mount for all types....sounds like a winner to me. Plus if you do a search they can be had for under 20 shipped.

I drive pretty hard on the weekends to trust sticky goo to hold the phone against all those lateral Gs......but maybe it'll work well for my dad and his mini and he drives like a granny

Well I looked into it and I just ordered one tonight. The reviews look promising so does the product since you can use it with a case on or without. Theres also a thread about it at androidforums, the last post has a good review. There is a few videos of the product on youtube and im hoping its as good as it seems. Its just I am SICK of waiting for the offical dock.
Here is a video of the product on a Droid, basically a stand but the car mount is the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaFyE-WF2CU&feature=related

I worry about it getting dirty and it will put the stress on the battery door clips. Maybe good but for $30 I would want to see a few reviews from people who use on a daily basis.

Just watched another video and it can be cleaned but at the end the removal looked way to easy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuREArW3c48&feature=related
Also found fro $24 at Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Clingo-Universal-Hands-Free-iPhone-Devices/dp/B003JTHMSM

I just ordered one from Amazon (thanks clayginn for providing the link) and was able to get the last one from a dealer for $24.99. Hopefully it's shipped before Friday, because I'm really going to need it then.
Anyways, I have the universal mount that Sprint sells and it's absolutely awful with the Evo. I have it mounted on my dash and the phone vibrates and shakes even when my car is running idle at times ('05 Mazda 3 five door). The phone may also be a bit too heavy for it, as the holder gradually moves down after a period of time, even though I have it extremely tightened. My girlfriend also noticed the vibrations when it was used on the windshield.
Hopefully the Clingo mount works better. I watched some videos where the reviewers were driving with it attached and it seemed to be very solid. I'll post a quick review early next week. If it's here before Friday, then it'll be used for a long trip over the weekend.

very tempting

Looks great, have to try it!!! Thanks OP
Brought 2 of these from Ebay $11 shipped these will get my phones off my desk mounted to my computer screen

I'm interested to see how long the stickiness lasts. I'm going to get the car mount one today and we'll see how it holds up.

Same here, but it looks like tap water will regain the stickiness but we'll have to see how long that lasts over time. I also read that it can be really tough to remove a device if it's connected to the mount in hot weather. It's nearly 100F here and will be used on my dash for nearly four hours in direct sunlight on Friday. Someone mentioned how he had to cool it off in front of the car A/C for several minutes to remove the phone easily.
Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I'll give it a quick test and let you guys know how it works. I'm just hoping it's better than that crappy Sprint mount.

Just received the Clingo mount and took it out for a quick drive. Ended up working very well. Much better than the Sprint mount I originally had. Extremely fast and easy to set up.
I prefer having my phone mounted on the dashboard when used as a nav. Just place the sticky 3M disc onto the dash and let it sit for a while. If you put the mount and phone on the disc after a few seconds, then be ready for your phone to fall. It's 95F here and the disc became really stuck after about 10 minutes, with no falls afterward. As for using the mount on a windshield, it works just fine. Just use the attached suction cup and it'll stick great.
The "arm" that connects from the suction cup and then to the sticky pad is pretty long, therefore your device will be closer to you in the car. It isn't immensely long at all...I actually prefer it this way. In addition to the Sprint mount, I also have an older Garmin nav unit and both mounts are pretty short. You'll be able to see images/text/etc. much easier with the extended arm on the Clingo mount.
As for the actual pad...it works like a charm. I attached the Evo without a case and then with the Seidio Active Limited Edition. The phone stuck perfectly fine with or without the case. I tried to get it to fall off, but it wouldn't budge. While driving, though, I noticed the phone shook a bit when used with the Seidio case. However, that case adds quite a bit of weight to the phone. When used naked, I rarely noticed the phone shaking or vibrating at all. Very easy to view the screen clearly while driving. The pad doesn't leave a single bit of grime on the back of the phone once you detach it. I've attached and removed the pad a few times thus far and the phone is still sticking just fine.
If you're going to use this mount with a naked Evo or with a case that doesn't protect the camera lens too well, then be ready to possibly have the pad cover and stick to the lens. You can get around this, but then the upper part of the phone will not be attached to the pad. It's possible that the phone won't have as much support but from what I can tell, there shouldn't be any issues if you mount the pad below the camera. Again, the pad will not leave any grime, scratches, etc. to the lens if stuck to the pad.
Two things I'll be keeping an eye out for: First, will the pad still continue to be reliable in the future? Washing it with warm tap water to regain stickiness is easy enough, but we'll need to see how it lasts. Second, is how the pad will react to weather conditions. So far, it's been very easy to remove the phone from the pad. But I'm waiting to see how easy or tough it will be to remove the phone after it's stuck on the pad for 4+ hours in 95F weather (though the mount will be close to the A/C vents). And, how it will be in really cold weather later this year.
Overall, I'm very happy with this mount thus far. It's stable when driving, easier and clearer to see the screen due to less vibrations and the extended arm and easy to assemble/disassemble. MUCH better than the Sprint universal mount, and $15 cheaper. If there's interest, I'll post some pictures and my experience with the mount early next week after my long driving trip over the weekend.

Thanks for that update man. I didn't get a chance to pick that up yesterday.

Otterbox Commuter + garmin mount = perfect

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

I been thinking of purchasing a vent mount. I have a c class mercedes. It's pretty small so the vents are close to me. I wouldnt want anything on my windows, but please do post some pictures I would like to see you that looks.

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

Car headrest Mount

Just ordered the item below to mount to my headrest for the little one in the back seat. Anyone use one of these before? Seems they sell several which all appear to be the same model, but are different prices.

I'll follow up once I have a chance to test it. Shipping from across the pond so it will probably be a few weeks.

Pricey option.

They make the same one for multiple tablets and/or DVD players as they mention in the product title. Also, the dimensions they quote will fit the xoom.
Oddly enough, they charge different prices different models though they appear to be the same product.

I just put this mount into my car. It works great with the xoom!

Looks like a http://www.ram-mount.com mount.

It finally came, although just a day after a I was hoping to get it. Haven't had a chance to take a pic yet but it installed in minutes and fit perfectly in my Jeep Grand Cherokee.
There are foam pads on the clips which will prevent any scratching of the screen. The piece that holds the xoom has a spring loaded back which will hold it securly in the mount. Nothing really stopping you from using it with the portfolio case or other protective casing.
The only beef I have has to do with the headrest mount and the part that holds the xoom. They are two separate pieces which work on a slide lock mechanism. I imagine over time this could be an issue. Not so worried because of 14 price tag.
Very sturdy and well made for a $14 headrest mount. More well thought out than the portfolio case
Will try to take a pic or two tonight and upload.

Hi KidJoe,
Do you have a case on the Xoom right now? If you're using the Motorola portfolio case, by any chance, there's a sort of channel between the upper and lower sections of the case's back section in which you can nicely fit a small (like parachute or clothesline) cord. Not at all fancy, but it's quick and dirty and allows you to tie the Xoom to a headrest. It may not appear stable until you try it, since the back folds, but when it's tied to a firm object the back cannot fold and the Xoom stays nicely in place. You'll even have access to the charging port.

TFY 2nd Gen Car Headrest Mount Holder

Samsung Car mount question

Does anyone know if the below car mount fits a Samsung note encased in a TPU or nilkin/rock hard case?
I did a measurement of my note in its protective case and found the width is about 85-86mm...so it might be a tight fit, given the maximum width of the arm is 85mm.
Anyone who has bought this mount and has a TPU / Rock / Nilkin case can share his experience would be helpful. Thanks.

I have the car mount (its FANTASTIC BTW). the fit is very tight and I do not think you can leave any case on the device. Aside from a snug fit, you need to snap the power clip in, and it only fits if the device is already snuggly fitted into the mount.

I got this one and it works great, it swivels 360degrees, great price too. And my ac keeps the phone cool

ive got the same one,(I think, certainly looks the same)
but it only fits the original cover.. doesn't even fit the samsung flip cover.

Sorry bro, I didn't realize you had a slim case on your phone. I don't use one
Good luck!

Found this one.

I think I am going to pick it up. It will fit the permanent mount arm I have in my Subaru.

That's the same one I and mkoger have, it is a very good fit for the stock cover but not anything else

I have that one too. Its OK.. You can see my comments on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386908
As I mentioned, I have this case: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca...d=1324256424&sr=1-3-catcorr&tag=5336653508-20 (elago G4 Slim Fit Case for Galaxy Note -Soft Feeling Black)
And I can snap it into the dock fine. A little snug, but not bad. Recommend using both hands to remove.

Please give us a small review when you get chance.
I am interested in this mount but there appears to be a lot of unsatisfied user who have problems with it sticking to the dash or the phone sticking to the mount.

I picked up an ILuv car mount at the weekend and it's working great, no wobbles and holds the Note in the flipcase too.

I received this today so will give you a mini review tomorrow after I've given it a test run on my drive to work.

I own original Car kit,
it Does NOT fit Galaxy Note with case
BUT
it DOES fit Galaxy Note in original Flip Cover Case

Ok, I got to test this out today.
Firstly, the unit itself is very nice and compact, it does not take up much space at all.
It sticks to the dash extremely well, not only does the bottom part use suction but it is also very sticky. I tried with a fair bit of force to pull it off and it wasn't moving once stuck to the dash.
My Note is in a Nillkin case so is slightly heavier then standard but I placed it on the two little grooves that stick out, and then firmly pushed it back so it stuck in place. I then drove to work (and later back home). The ride is quite bumpy in parts and I deliberately drove quite aggressively in an attempt to make the Note fall out but it didn't budge. I can see the 'stickiness' being lost over time but apparently cleaning it with a wet cloth fixes that so only time will tell I suppose.
So far I am pleased with it.

Cheers for the update.
I've just ordered one from mobilefun.de as they have them at 11,99 yoyos.

Any of you coming from the Streak who purchased the SlipGrip commuter car mount will be interested in knowing the Note will fit into it with a slim case (I'm using the BoxWave).
I mentioned this in an earlier post.

I just ordered the same holder. What do you mean by "permanent mount arm?" Can you post a couple of photos?

I assume you dont mount your phone in winter

I want something that will hold it in landscape in the centre dash.
So that's basically the middle of the car (centre) and the highest tip (of dboard) but not on the glass. That way viewing is much much better and the holder doesn't leave a circle smudge.
Here's my car:

(i want it above the warning lamp button where the multifunction display resides)
Btw, in my city if they see the circle smudge or the holder, they break into your car and look for the gps, which costs me a window to repair and any stolen goods.
