I have seen some Bicycle mounts for Atrix on the Internet, but not sure if anyone out there has used any and could recommend one(or not recommend) a certain one.. Any ideas/feedback appreciated

Thanks in advance,

I had a Gomadic for my iPhone 3GS in my car. It was not built well and fell apart soon after purchase. I just tossed it.
Don't know about the other one, but it looks cheap and nasty also. ($7.99 and free shipping on an item that size).
<edit> These folks may have something for you: http://www.arkon.com/
I will check out that link, those 2 I sent did look cheap to me, on my bike, didn't want to take a chance.
Thanks

I was recently digging through my old stuff for my iPod touch, and I found this.
I do not know if you can purchase these separately, I got these from my iPod case. It only comes with one stand and the case.
Pictures were taken with my brother's N1.
Here's the link:

This MAY also fit.

Slick! man love it!
Simple yet effective.
Go down to any office supply store, pick up a plastic business card holder or three. Works great.
Haven't thought of that. Great use for a cardholder.
I will buy one when I swing by a.office supply store.

Never thought of the empty buisness card holder. Think I'll walk around my office and look for an empty one sitting on a conference table or in the lobby and borrow one.
Hey guys, im in the market for a windshield mount for my EVO, and most of the ones I have seen on amazon have pretty bad reviews. What are some good ones you guys can recommend that can also work in landscape mode, and only on the windshield. Preferably with a pretty long neck as my windshield is a bit far. I looked through a few pages but didnt see much. Thanks!
There is a Kensington iphone, I know..it works, that people were raving about here that I purchased. For the price it is very good and 1/3 cheaper then the official Evo dock sold at Sprint stores.. Do some legwork and look in this section for the thread.

Search for my thread called 'Low profile car mount' and you'll find a good one.

Arkon Mega Clip all the way (+ Pro Fit VSM mounts)
best way to go in my opinion is the Arkon Mega Clip
The guys there are incredibly helpful (Spoke w a sales guy called Mark who was great), products are great, and they also provide VSMs (vehicle specific mounts) if you dont want the clip/suction cup connection. VSMs look much more clean in the car in my opinion. Not crazy expensive either.
They source their VSM mounts from a company called Pro Fit. Check their website out as well to see all the mounts they have. My Mazda 3 2010 wasnt supported according to their site, but again, very helpful guy called Ryan (he's the guy who actually installs the clips and takes pictures for the installation instructions...amongst other things Im sure) told me that it actually was, they just hadn't had a chance to update their site yet.
Hope this info helps someone.

Indeed... The Kingston was originally created for the iPhone/iTouch but works just perfect for us EVO users. HERE is my thread where you can see several reviews, one in the first post and one in THIS post. The goosneck is super strong and doesn't move while driving and at the same time when you need to adjust it can be done so with a little effort. That's a good thing as the gooseneck should be very stiff. In fact, so far it's the best I've seen to date. If I had to choose an alternative it would most likely be the HTC's OEM vehicle mount. Kind of pricey but if nothing else works for you. The only drawback I see of the HTC mount is it doesn't have a gooseneck, instead it has a small stem. This doesn't work out to well if your windshield has a very deep slope to it as the mount would be sitting too far back and you would have to squint to see your route or terrain on your map.
AMAZON has it selling for $11.99 right now. I haven't seen a better deal on anything else pertaining to a car mount that is low profile for the EVO.
i have been using a rocketfish GPS mount i got at best buy it has acctually been working really well. It fits the evo with any case has nice rubber grips ont he sides where it clamps and has to little feet that turn out to hold the "bottom" yuo can use in landscape or portrait and so far the suction cup has help on very well for me. the phone hasnt budged even going over train tracks and pot holes.
cost like 20$ they have them over by the GPS units
So a long time ago I posted a DIY I found on lifehackers well today I decided to do one myself.
All that was needed was a garmin car mount
HTC evo hard case
Something to cut with
double sided tape or crazy glue
Here are the pictures
Good to see my textbook came in handy for something lol

Show off.
But seriously, nice work. looks clean.
Lol srry. Thank you. It would have been much cleaner if I had a cutting tool, I had to heat up the knive to cut the plastic. I must say that its the best mount I have came across, I would not think about spending that much money on the official mount

Nicely done!
thanks bro when i get in my car ill take some pictures of it mounted

awesome work. looks mighty legit!!!!
I love this mount. I made one last year for my Hero, and this year I made a similar mount for my Evo with the ball joint Garmin bracket(or whatever its called) & belt clip holster. I borrowed my friends dremel and cut/melted the mount to fit together, then glued it with plastic weld. The one for the Evo I also bought a Garmin cigarette lighter dock, so i can now mount my phone on the windshield or near my stereo. I plan on posting up pictures in the near future.
Yeppz, the case I used was an evo beltclip I find it easier to release the phone from the dock unlike the snap on case. So far this beats all the mounts including the high end ones

well done thank you
Followed the pics and did this too, it's win.
Going to see if I can find a permanent base for my cars dash though. Works great attached to the window just too distracting for me because of how the car's setup.
Looks great, but for EVO owners going foward, you might want to look into this:

I bought one and it works great and only $3.97.
Again, kudos on your skills and thanks for the info.
I can see your Fleshlight in the background.
So I needed a better way to catch my Pokemon, so today I made this along with an OTG adapter all from parts. Enjoy.
Lol omg this is awesome!!

I'm glad everyone likes it so much.
I would consider selling these but I would want to find a better mount first, something with a smaller base so it could be attached to an assortment of controllers (sixaxis, snes, n64, wii, etc.). If anyone has that sort of info I would like to see it.
I'd say it would be about $50 for labor and shipping excluding materials. It's not really worth it IMHO because it is easy enough to make with just a Dremel and a soldering iron (if you want to shorten the usb cable like I did).
Also some differences in a new version would be
1) Use a micro b connector straight out of the controller (rather than go full sized usb down to micro b which is pretty bulky) and make a custom cable for use with a laptop/360.
2) Add charge port inline.
3) The area where the headset connects to the controller has a gap in the case due to the button head screw pushing it out. A smaller base would fix that.
4) I would like a mount specifically made for my Gnex just to make it look a bit cleaner.
That is pretty awesome.
do you have a link to the dock you used?
Sorry I don't I just happened to find it around the house. I am sure most of them will work exactly the same though.
Just looked into it. Apparently it is a generic brand, I found one on Walmart, looks identical to mine. Just put that at the end of the Walmart site to find it (to new to post links sorry).

That is freakin epic
WTF that is amazing. Wow.
This is really amazing. I'd like to reserve one to order when you've got the details worked out.
Awesome!!!!
Greets!
For those wondering about price here it is. Unfortunately the cost got pretty high as I was sorting out the parts list
One of them is an OEM Microsoft controller and a MUCH nicer mount.
The other is a knock off 360 controller with the same mount I have on this version.
Unfortunately the cost is pretty high since they are hand made. About $60 for the cheap one and $90 for the high end one plus shipping.
How about if you didn't include the cost of a controller presuming its not permanently attached and we use one at home?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I had just been getting a lot of PMs about pricing so I wanted to clear it up.
Instead of permanently mounting the controller, how about designing a suction mount or a clip-on mount? That way people can use whatever controller they like and it won't be included in the costs.
So I saw there was a thread about bike mounts and I have been searching through Amazon trying to find one for my Hybrid road/mountain bike.
I want to get some feedback from those who have purchased a bike mount for their phone and hear what problems, if any, that you have come across while using them. Also what is the best one in your experience.

I would also be interested in a bike mount. My cousin made a mount for his PSP with a case and some other stuff, I just forget how. An actual mount would be great though.
You can check the post I made yesterday with pictures of the mount I found on amazon. Some may consider it a little pricey but I feel the build quality is well worth the price.

I just ran across this while looking for anything interesting that would work with extended bulging batteries (nothing really to see) but I have a trident brand aegis case for my sprint sph-d710 that I dearly love - it has survived me and my 7 year old who plays games on it and drops it frequently - here are links to what I have, and to a newer Kraken A.M.S. case they have with a bike mount and camera mount attachment.
Ugh, won't let me link outside so you'll have to copy and paste (I'm not affiliated, just haven't posted enough to be able to paste links apparently)
