So i want to use my samsung vibrant as a GPS in my car. Is there a car holder for this type of phone?/ Thanks
An ebay search will yield hundreds of results. Also, this has been discussed in previous threads. Just search for "car mount" in this forum.
Go to amazon and search for the brand Arkon. Its about $15. It comes with dashboard and ac vent mounts. Its much better than the crap my sister bought off ebay. It fits my vibrant with crappy silicon case nicely.

I've had a couple tonight, and saw this on a website for the Original DROID and then the DROID X. I figured why not make one for my Vibrant. All it takes is an extra wire clothes hanger and maybe a pair of pliers. Enjoy.
I know not the best of work, but not bad for already having a couple in me tonight.
DIY is the only way to go!
I added some stability to the back side of mine (right side) so that i can have my phone vertical or horizantal.
if you search amazon, i got a 2.00 earbud holder that doubles as a dock, it basically has a slot across it so you can set the phone to stand upright, and cheap to boot. It said it was made for the iphone, but works great with the vibrant.
I use something similar. We have some plate holders that fold closed. They are used to display decorative plates on our mantle. One less plate in the mantle. Nice because they are rubberized and fold closed. I pack it for vacations. You can probably find them at and Home Goods store. Anyplace that sells decorative plates.

I know there a few threads about windshield mounts but none of them have what I'm looking for. I am looking for a windshield mount for my 2000 Ram 1500. I want it to mount on the BOTTOM on the windshield and come to the edge of the dash so it will need to be fairly long. I switch between the Seidio Innocase II surface and the Seidio 3500mah extended battery so I need something that will accommodate both of those. I also need it to switch between portrait and landscape. The Kensington windshield mount for the Iphone looks like it would be great but it doesn't look like it will allow me to use my extended battery.
What have you guys found that might work for what I need?

Mountek MT5000
I bought this after finding a thread about it on another forum. Best accessory ever. Extremely quick and easy to install, rotates portrait/landscape ... can't complain about anything. It uses your CD slot - you just put it in the opening and clamp it down.
It's actually started to become a problem because I'm constantly distracted while driving by my cellphone now. It's just right there up in my face, gorgeous and begging to be played with.
Can't post the link since I'm new here ... but you can Google it easily.
I like the Clingo mount so much, I am going to mod the Sedio Active Innocase I have to make it work with it (smooth.velvty doesn't stick to Clingo).

I've got a cheap Arkon universal mount I use in my car. Works great with my ballistics case or naked.
Dunno how long it is but I have am ikd z car and its mounted to the bottom of my windshield and comes to the dash edge. Probably 6in or more. It was tricky too cause my car has a high rake angle and I wanted it mounted so it wouldn't show Tue mount at all in videos. It does block half the camera but it clamps hard enough that you can scoot it up and get the camera free.

Why not just get the seidio innotraveler? It will fit both the extended battery and innocase power their website. I have it and love it, it actually extends pretty far.

Because the seidio one is $50! Thats crazy for a windshield mount. I found one at bestbuy yesterday its by rocketfish and made for the iphone but it works with our phone to. It doesn't come to the edge of the dash but it will work.
Today I was looking for Galaxy Nexus car mount holder on Amazon.
I came up with this car mount holder.

It is the best selling car mount.

Is any of you tried this?
I have Galaxy Nexus GSM. I'm wondering if it fits.
I sent an email to the customer service but I'm wondering your comments
I sent email to customer service and this is the answer that i received
Dear xxx,
I have searched on google about your phone, and it says the width is 2.67 inches wide.
Our car mount's adjustable width size is from 2" to 3.2", so it won't be a problem.
Hope this information was helpful, and if you have any other question, please feel free to email us back.
Best regards,
Christina Kim

However, I'm considering to buy the OEM Galaxy Nexus car dock.
i used a slip grip with my cased droid x and found it worked very well.

That looks pretty good,I used to use a $5 belt clip from ebay on my Eris, but now they only make them facing in. Thanks for the link. A bit spendy, but the best option for a case I've seen.

You're welcome.
I checked threads about car holders and I couldn't see anything about this car holder. Even though it is the most popular one in Amazon shop, it is not popular here.

Does this car mount have a clear view when using the camera? Some car mounts you can see a bit of the mount attachment

I have the iOttie mount and its just decent. I have my Gnex in an otterbox defender case and it barely is wide enough to hold it..with maybe a 1/4" to spare..
My phone vibrated and fell out some. It might be more stable if I permanently mounted it to the dash instead of putting it on the windshield.
But give it a go if you want. Its dirt cheap on amazon.

Thanks for comment. I think I will order it.
I'm willing to buy an office car dock for GNEX GSM, but I think it is still not released?

Hi,
I tried searching the forum but with no results.
I recently bought a case for my phone a Galaxy S3 Otterbox Commuter Series.
I am looking forward to buy a car mount but can't find one that fits the phone + the case. I dont want to have to remove the phone from the case everytime I want to plug it in the car.
Is there any car mount that will fit the phone + case? I also prefer suction cup mount but I can't find any.
There is the Mounttek Universal Car Mount in The Master List for Accessories thread but it fits in the vents.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry,
I thought I posed in the accessories section.
Can a mod please move my thread?
Thanks.
I found these online.
I'm looking for the same thing, but not wanting to spend $30

There is a company called vtec that makes an adjustable mount. I used to see them at the local auto parts store pretty much fit any phone in there. except the gaudy note.
I love my exogear, sticks to anything. Does not matter what case it's in.

does anyone know of any low cost yet fairly decent charging docks for the HTC one, they don't need to support a case.
the only ones ive been able to find are either too pricey or five bucks off eBay, which is something id be skeptical about putting my phone into

I use a Kidigi Cradle from ebay (basically the same model as linked above, only with a logo on it;had one for the P990 before)... looks nice, but requires a bit of fumbling for the micro-usb plug. Nice touch: it has an inlay which can be removed so the phone should fit in with case on. Can´t test this now, though, since my case hasn´t arrived yet.
The only ones I'm aware of are the actual HTC car cradle and the ProClip models. ProClip has several versions with built in charger and I believe some are adjustable for cases. They are not cheap but very well made and have custom mounting solutions for almost any vehicle. www.proclipusa.com
If you don't have a case on your phone then look at the original HTC One car cradle which generally gets decent reviews as well. It has an added benefit in that it will automatically put the phone into car mode when you put it in the cradle. http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-car/
Cheers!

Beware. DO NOT buy from dx-box. The cradle they ship out is different. Me and my bud ordered two, a week apart but instead of the one pictured they shipped this POS cradle which hoes for less than half the price.

The pictured dock on DX-BOX is the covermate (kidigi one without the name stamped). You can get it from eBay or other vendors.
