Evo Motorcycle Mount

I finally found a great solution for mounting my Evo on my motorcycle for GPS and musical entertainment!
Got a custom molded cradle that holds my phone with its protective case as well from here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SlipGrip-RAM-HOL-Holder-Sprint-HTC-EVO-4G-Phone-Case-On-/400195182898
I found several other options, but this one seemed to be the most secure. Also lots of other mounts would have required that I remove my phone from it's case each time I wanted to mount it, a total pain in the rear.
That mates up to this Ram Mount:

I then installed a 12v outlet and ran a headphone extension under my tank and out under my seat. I use this instead of Bluetooth with my Etymotic ER-6i headphones because they also protect my hearing from road noise while on a long ride. One could just as easily use this setup with Bluetooth headphones as well.

So now I have this..

Looks good. I've been contemplating something similar but I'm terrified it will slingshot out of the holder on a twisty or something.
For now I think I'm going to go with a jacket pocket that zips and a bluetooth helmet setup.

The riding pic there is me on the Dragon with it mounted. It doesn't get more twisty than that!
I did a 430 mile run that included Cherohala Skyway, Tail of the Dragon and then back down 28 though Highlands, NC with no issues at all.
For those interested, this is all from The Tail of the Dragon:

Thats a great mount. Nice job! I just recently did something similar for my cruiser, except i mounted a spare otterbox belt clip to the mount on my bike that way i can pop the phone into the cradle otterbox defender and all.

looks good!

I made mine with a stiff rubber case, some pieces for a bicycle rack and zip ties. I have been on some gnarly roads and it hasn't even come close to popping out. Though it did screw with my screen protector

I think I found the perfect stand!

http://placewiz.com/Stand.php
Just got it set up with my GT 10.1. The beauty of the stand is the fact that I can have my Samsung Book Cover Case installed on the tab, have the charging cable plugged into the bottom of the tab, and have the tablet on the stand with the volume controls and 3.5 jack on the top. Almost every stand I have found did not have enough room for the connector to be installed while placed on the stand, but this one fixed that for me, at a grand total of $10 on ebay!

Galaxy Tab with stand, charging.

wow that is so awesome!

seems nice... how sturdy is it? did you try any other stands or was this the first one you got?
personally I dont need the ability to charge it while on the stand, so sturdiness is the name of the game for me, so i've been thinking about the Arkon but maybe this is even better... just curious if you tried the Arkon out also?

Regarding how sturdy it is... for me, it's perfectly fine. The problem I found is I keep my desk clean with pledge, which makes the surface too slippery and the stand itself doesn't have any way to grip. I think I will just stop down at the local hobby store and find some sort of rubber strip I can put on the feet of the stand to have it stop sliding. Besides that, I only get a minor wobble when tapping the screen, but only at the top, and only if I press abnormally hard. For $10 you can't beat it.

nice 10char

Just bought one.

That looks really nice.

I have the Arkon, it's very sturdy, very adjustable. It's made of some sort of hard plastic/polymer, with foam cushion layer on the bottom so it doesn't slide and where it touches the tablet. The only issue is the tablet sits too low for the charge connector in landscape mode.

lol, it is a rabbit

Exogear car mount

Have been using this mount for a little over a week and can say that it is awesome. The thing I like the most is the mount. It is sticky and mounts to almost any surface, even the rounded portion of my dash. It does get dirty and needs to have some water run over it every once in a while to clean it off. The part that holds the phone is hard to use one handed, but holds the phone really well. It opens up to hold any phone and mostgps units. I picked this up on amazon for just under 20 bucks.

Looks good, but larger pics would help!

I guess this is the mount?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=ox_ya_os_product
For the price it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I should be getting it tomorrow.

That's the mount.
Sorry about the small pictures, I haven't quite mastered posting pics from my tab.

Does the mount show in any part of the camera\video view?

Just tried it. The mount does not show up on the screen when taking video or pics.

I got the mount on Saturday. I think it works pretty well for what it was worth. It definitely requires two hands to take in and out. It seems to hold pretty solid on the dash.
Sorry the pictures aren't that great. They were taken with my Thunderbolt.

just wanted to add I have this mount and have been using it with no problems. I also have a nook tablet that I put the suction cup on the back of and clip to the headrest to let my daughter watch movies for long trips. Its very versitile.

Just tossed one of these in favor of the Samsung mount. Much easier to work with.

Bad experience!
Bad experience!
I bought this car mount 32 days ago & It's already broken!!
I used it in my car for a Galaxy S2 device with a sunlight protector (as was recommended on exogear's site).
For the record, I'v been known for my gentle treatment for all of my things, in particular, the technological one's.
The damage was a broken grip (the one that holds the cell-phone), just near the red rubber.
Be careful guys\ladies - waste of 30$.

For those looking for a bike mount.

You should really think about getting the Ram Mount.

I have been using this for about a week now and I am in love. The arm piece is just a little long bit it mounts perfectly to the bike and doesn't move.
I now have my phone mounted with my its protective gel case for my speakerphone listening pleasure while I ride.

I will attach a picture of the mount on the bike later.

Which model is this, and on what type of bike are you mounting it? I've been looking for a solid bike mount.

Here are a few more pictures to get a view of the bike and how it's mounted.

The bike is a hybrid mount road bike that I use for a 6 mile (each way 5 day a week commute). I use the phone as a speaker for music and GPS when needed. The mount has three types of prongs that re of different length depending on the size of your device. The mount is originally made for a motorcycle but the base is for a bicycle. I use the mount with my casemate case and it fits snuggley. I bought it from Amazon for $41.27, which I think is a steal considering that I could fit all types of device on believe it will last at least two to three years with regular use based on the strength of the material. You can easily take the mount and the arm off the bike so that it wont be easily stolen and you have to screw the based on to your bike.
If you do happen to buy one the instructions are not very clear, but the screws go through the bottom of the holder and the nuts though the top.
Well worth the money in my opinion. You can even buy other bases that will go in your car or on other bikes or other areas.

Very happy with this...

Olympics TV commercial: Official Bike Mount?

Hi,
There's this TV commercial during the Olympics for the Galaxy S III (the one with David Beckham), where you can see a bike mount:

Does anyone know if this accessory has been released by Samsung?
Thanks!

That's nice! :good:

That's awesome! I'd be scared for it to unclip tho or something

Am going with a Trident Kraken case and the bike clip. While I'm sure the Samsung bike clip is nice (if it actually exists), the Trident video shows an iPhone surviving some light trail riding when connected to the handle bar of a dirt bike. That's a bunch more vibration than it'll see on either my road or mountain bike so I am pretty confident that the phone will stay on the mount.
If not then the Kraken case ought to keep it safe when it falls and hits the road/dirt....

The Kraken looks interesting indeed... It would probably be safer than the original Samsung one, especially when riding in the forest with my cross-country bike...

perfect bike mount
Ok so after seeing this and searching and searching i found the perfect bike mount (not the one pictured on first post). I did however find the one pictured and it was at a decent price but looked to generic and unsafe. It was secured by side arms and rubber bands. The holster i found actually clips the phone and is very well priced @ $6.99 on ebay. they wont let me post links so if you want do an ebay search for "Bike Bicycle Mount Holder Cradle Stand Kit for Samsung Galaxy S III 3 S3 SIII"
will post pics

pics

I have this one, and have tried it a few times. The mount is very cheap, but it's good. The phone feels pretty safe when mounted. So go for this one.
