Brodit Holder - Galaxy S II Accessories

Any news on Brodit holders for the Galaxy S2?
Can't seem to find anything on DSL Developments (who I normally use). Timescales? or are we still looking at weeks yet. Might have to find a temporary alternative in the short term.

Why not email [email protected]? They are usually very helpful.

I'm using the passive HTC HD2 cradle. It's fits perfect at the bottom but a little bit of movement at the top where the phone is thinner. It's not loose enough it rattles or moves when you touch the screen. Volume and power buttons aren't blocked.
Might be easier and cheaper to find a used or new HD2 holder.
There may even be enough space to add a very thin skin, which is what I'll add if I can find a nice one.

Thanks will look into it.

Great to know, I currently have a HD2 with Brodit passive holder, and will receive my Galaxy S II tomorrow
I'll see if it's the same for me too...

I have an adjustable iPhone 3GS passive Brodit mount (it expands to use with gel type cases). I have a cheapo gel case on my SGII and it works fine, solid as a rock.

Okay so here's what I've done: on each side of my passive holder, I've put a few centimeters of black adhesive tape. It's the kind of heavy one, which you can buy in a hardware store...
Now the Galaxy S 2 is completely stable in a HD2 Brodit passive holder!

I gave mine to a friend for free when I sold my first 3GS. Later when I bought another 3GS I tried to get it back. I think i'm going to have to ask again now

Nice tip there. However, I might pick up one the offical cases from P4U this week. It looks like there may be enough room for the phone to fit the holder with the case on.

Seems dodgy, couldn't find anything on pdahut...
Maybe he's been mistaken with the original "Galaxy S"?
I've pre-ordered from dsldevelopments as usual, claims to be in stock in 10 days or so...

Okay thanks for the information. However it's not in stock, it says:
"Please note: This product is expected to be in stock in the UK week commencing 30th May and is available on Pre-order basis. Demand will be very high, order yours today to secure this item."
So it is in line with what dsldevelopments have told me

Looks like I didn't spot that. Oh well, I won't hold my breath then.

Just to let you know, on Friday dsldevelopments has shipped my brodit passive holder, I should get it this week

I installed my Brodit SII-holder last Saturday. Fits perfectly. I had it pre-ordered to be one of the first to have it
I have the passive one, I use separate wires for power-in and audio-out.
I have decided to use it with a Kuda console, because that looks better in my car.
Now all I need to do is fill my SD-card with audio and I can enjoy my car-rides even better

Car Dock Kit

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns/Accessories/AccessoryDetailPopUp.aspx?accessory=916075f6-938d-4ce1-a6d3-69a685769d1a&inCart=True&catCode=22
I travel alot and one of the main reasons I bought the GS2 was for the big screen to use with Nav. Just ordered this today. Will post pics and review
REVIEW:
Got the dock today. Gotta say, not too bad. Although I don’t really think it’s worth more than about $25 tops. The build quality is ok. Everything is plastic, but it feels kind of light (the suction holder). Guess that’s a good thing if it’s being mounted to the windshield.
What’s included: Phone Dock, Suction Holder, Car Charger, Sticky suction pad (to use on your dash)
Suction Holder
There are 3 main components to this. The suction it pretty heavy duty. Probably better than my Garmin windshield mount. Once positioned on the glass, there’s a lever you push down drawing the air out making for a pretty good and strong contact. To release it from the windshield is just as easy. Just pull the same lever up to release.
The holder allows for full 360 rotation of the phone. Loosen the round knob to position and tighten. Once tightened, it’s pretty snug.
Where the phone dock connects, the suction holder has a little spring loaded push lever that’s used to clamp the phone dock to the holder. Same method is used to release the phone dock.
Phone Dock
Again, it’s pretty light. I wouldn’t say it’s feels cheap but just really light. The phone fits in pretty sung. It’s definitely not going anywhere. The dock also has a cut out for the camera, which is nice if you want to take pics of the road or maybe even a video of the guy in front of you with a lowered Silverado with a mural of his trunk on his tailgate 
Once the phone is in, the bottom end of the phone dock slides in and out making the usb contact. On the back of the dock, you have a micro usb port for charging and a 3.5mm line out jack. My only concern is with time, this portion will get loose. Seems like there’s 2 positions this click into as you slide it one way or the other.
Car Charger
It’s a micro usb car charger. Nothing more to say. Always good to have a spare one.
The dock definitely DOES NOT accept the phone with any cases. Don’t know about skins though. It’s a pretty sung fit with. Going to head over to TMO sometime this week and pick up the a ZAGG Dry application skin and see.
Figured it would, but as soon as you slide the plug from the dock into the phone, it goes into car mode right away, even without it being plugged into a power source. This can be deactivated by going into notifications and clicking Deactivate Car mode.
All in all, I’d have to say I’m pretty pleased with it. Not really pleased about how much it costs, but hey…It would have been nice for them to include an audio cable with the package. I bought this to replace my older Garmin Nav. Figure it’s much easier having this than traveling with the Garmin.
Update: Looks like this is going back. The line-out doesn't work. Getting no sound

Nope. Makes sense, T-Mobile just released the phone so they hiked up all prices on "new" accessories. It's all naming/branding my man.
Looks nice...if u get it post some pics please.
I have one but makes too much noise when the car moves.
Tmo Galaxy S2
http://www.amazon.com/MSW-Exogear-E...ZLOS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1319143393&sr=8-6
It is cheaper on Amazon. I am searching for a few other universals and I will make a decision in a day or two.
Was feeling frisky so picked it up at the store with the phone. Works great but the phone is held rather tightly and requires two hands to remove it when getting out of your car. Might loosen a bit over time, but a PITA for now. Phone also recognizes that this is a car dock (as opposed to desktop dock) and kicks on the VoiceTalk app automatically. Kind of nice.
-- edit --
Used a universal on my last phone... have to say that having the charger plug into the mount directly is hands-down worth the extra money. I hated having to find the dangling end of the usb cord every time I got in my truck... especially in the dark. With the made-for-it mount, you sit the phone in the mount and then slide the bottom part up which engages the charge and locks in the phone. All with one hand.

Have one and the best part about this mount is that it sticks to almost part in my car. Aside from the really curved parts.
Bought my first car dock for my old Vibrant few months ago, now have to get it again for my new SGS2. Like before I am getting OEM directly from Samsung website. Not sure what TM sells but the one I saw in their store looks pretty crappy from some 3rd party vendor.

The car dock... excuse me, "vehicle navigation mount" I got at the t-mo store two days ago is a Samsung-branded accessory. Guy had to actually open the box that UPS delivered that morning. Perhaps your store didn't have them yet?
Good for you! I guess the TM store I had a pleasure to visit had different model on display. Looked really ugly comparing to oem model.

Probably not as it is made to fit the device snugly. This is why I use a pouch belt clip as I use my phone all the time for navigation and can't be taking a case on and off every time.

Bummer. I need one that works with cases and has a longer arm to position the unit closer to the dash from the deeply set window. I really liked my previous one that I got from Amazon, but the bearing wore out or something and it won't stay in any position other than limply hanging down now...
Thanks for the review!

and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.
Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..
That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

Best Car Dock for LTE Nexus with Case and Extended Battery?

I'd prefer something windshield mounted. If I'm not getting the 3-pin version, I don't see why I should have to remove my case for the car dock, so I'd like one of those generic car mounts.
I have no experience with them though. What's the best one? Any recommendations?
check out Ram Mounts. google it
They are the most sturdy, but can be expensive.
i use the X mount one with my gnex and its awesome.
FYI I saw someone mention using the standard Garmin nuvi suction cup mount, with a GN in a case it does seem to fit.

This thread is about the verizon nexus. You say you have the european samsung dock with the pogo pins and the verizon phone fits in it?
If so, do the pins line up and work to put in in car mode?
I ordered the VZW/LTE specific version of the car dock from mycellworld.com. its supposedly legit in that it has the 3 pins and is definitely for the LTE handset. its on back order, supposed to ship next week. will review as soon as it shows up.

I know you said you prefer windshield mounted but I just bought the Tetrax FIXWAY mount and I love it. There is a large thread on it with lots of pics/videos. That thread is one of the reasons I bought it.
I too was looking for a car mount to be used with a case and an extended battery. I was just going to use a generic one off of amazon that was like a clamp style. Even though the Tetrax doesn't suction cup to the windshield, I think it is worth you looking at if you haven't already.
I mounted mine onto my dash and think it works perfectly. It doesn't obstruct my view at all and its is just a quick glance down to check navigation/music.
The phone is really quick to just 'snap' it in place. The only downside to me is that you have to manually plug in the power and aux cords but I don't even see this as a true downside since you will have to do this with any generic mount you would need in order to keep the case on.
If you are interested and would like me to take any additional pictures for you just let me know and I would be happy to do what I can

I ordered the X-grip mount with a medium size arm and the adhesive rubber ball base(I plan on keeping my car until its run into the ground) on January 11th.
Soon after ordering they informed me that the base wasn't in stock but it would ship out in 1-2 weeks. 2 weeks past with no word, then he said it would ship out at the end of the week. Still no shipping
I figured CS people would know not to give unrealistic ETA dates(especially when ram-mount makes the damn things themselves), especially over and over again, stringing the customer along...

I'm really tempted. Both options above are expensive. I was worried that the attachment thing might look like ****, but from the pictures in that thread, it doesn't look too bad. Same question though, can I turn it to landscape for Navigation? Also, how sturdy is the connection? Will it fall off as my car hits a bump or something?

+1 to ProClip! They have a mount that can adjust with different cases, and it's very sturdy. The one I have mounts to my vent though (I prefer this anyway since my windshield is so...sloped). They are kinda pricey also, but they don't look too bulky and are specifically made for your car model. I love mine.
Would like to bump this thread to see if anyone else had suggestions for good universal car mounts/docks that will work with a GNEX in a case.

try the iBolt pro dock alumina... this car dock works with just about any phone, and especially works great with the galaxy nexus.... this cardock allows you to place it on either the windshield, dashboard, or air vent since extra pins are supplied to place the dock there and theres no need to remove your case from your phone... which is a god send.. it only cost me about $35 on amazon, so i cant argue with the price... i have excellent photos of it, that i'll share as soon as i reach the 10 post mark, that allows me to attach files and externals link...

Airframe - Car Mount Vent Kit

Thought id take a gamble and just ordered one of these:
http://airframe.kenu.com/
Looked perfect for my needs and future proof due to generic design.
Have you recieved it yet? Impressions?
I like the fact that the clip is metal, my last plastic air vent holder snapped within a day of buying it :/
Won't get until next month as it appears a little like kick starter projects. Does look good though and future proof to a certain extent

If it were me, I'd just change the fan settings to not blow hot air straight at me (it's uncomfortable most of the times anyways). Use the upper or lower vent settings. If I had no other choice but get that Hair Dryer effect with the front vents, I'd put a credit card (or CD maybe) in between the Airframe clips and fit it inside the narrow CD player slot. Just sayin'.

Got the Mountek cd mount since I haven't listened to a cd for years. I have a bluetooth with usb and listen to Pandora or my mp3s.
It doesn't block the vents and adjusts vertical and horizontal.

I was wondering how you all are getting on after using them for a while, are they worth buying? I cant find any cheaper alternatives and the international shipping its quite expensive...but if they are awesome I might just buy one.

The Brodit mounts ... which in my opinion are very good are available for pre-order now.

I have the official one and it works great...
Once I connect the phone, it goes automatically to car mode. Also, it seems to b pretty strong

I'm happy with this one, and it's only $15

Wish I could find the D160 locally. I need to see if it will fit a certain spot in my car and don't feel like hassling with shipping something back.
ProClip
I went with the ProClip Dashboard mounts for my Mustang GT and the Universal T3 adjustable so mine would fit with the Otterbox Commuter. I used them about 5 years ago and loved them.
Should have it in a couple days I will let you know how it worked out.

geez these car docks are expensive...
Really like this one, its the Mountek nGroove Universal CD slot mount (sorry I cant post the link!!) It fits in your cd slot, which I really never use. Holds the One nice and firm.

I second this. Also worked well sideways in car mode.
Of the car mounts I've used, this Arkon one is my favorite so far: http://www.arkon.com/mobile-grip/mobile-grip-dashboard-mount-mg178.html

How does it hold up on the dashboard?

Very well. Not sure what material the suction pad is made from but it sticks very well to my dashboard and window more so than any other car holders I have tried over the years.
Sticks a little too well for me. I can't reposition it.
