Vibrant car mount

Just happened across this company the other day. They make mounts for iphones. It is advertised as being formable to any skin or case. The iphone isnt much different in size so i ordered it. will post update when it arrives.
Oops cant post url. The company is named thought out. Just ad a .biz to the end and that is the site. The product is called the PED3 form.

Vibrant car dock
Can someone post a pic as i am at work and limited as to what i can do on the work comp.

The URL is http://thoughtout.biz/PED3 ? If yes, this url is blocked by my WebFirewall for "Spam URL".
Hope you didn't get scammed.

I am sure i didnt. I called home and the package arrived today. Will post more when i get the box opened and fool around with it. The web site is legit.

No scam at all. I got the mount and the phone fits great. i will have someone take a pic of it in the mount. what is the easiest way to post a pic on here? I repeat not a scam.

If you are nervous about that website, I just found that they are also in the amazon marketplace.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A1TGLSLJGB1PA2

I am new here so i cannot post a pic yet. I have the mount and it fits perfectly. The tabs on the mount are very easy to adjust so i am sure many different phone would work. I am using mine without a case but i am sure you can get it to work with one on.

Just upload your pictures to imgur.com or something and show us the links.

I will get a better pic of it mounted in the car. It comes with 4 small suction cups and an option to mount using 3M adhesive pad or screw mount. The tang on the top of the mount doesnt block either the micro usb or the headphone output. All in all i am very happy with this mount.

Considering that the iPhone is smaller than the Vibrant and I can't see that the holders are adjustable, how were you able to fit the Vibrant in there??? Mine has a case and I've been looking for a car mount that will accomodate it with the case. So do you think the Thought out PED3 mount would work with a case on the Vibrant?? Thanks in advance.

i would also like to know this, and also does it block the camera or? it'd be cool to even record while driving

Ive been looking for a car mount for weeks now. I finally found one that I like. I got it at walmart for $20. It's made by scoshe, it for the iphone but I can slide my phone into it even with my tpu case on it. It installs on the window or vent, and it doesn't cover the camera

The tabs of the mount are bendable. It is made to fit iphones with different style cases so it is adaptable to many different sizes. The look is also very clean and minimal which is what i was looking for. I am sure it wiould fit with a bunch of different cases. As for the camera i will have to look but i dont think it bolcks the camera. When/If you order make sure you get the PED3 FORM mount.

Car Mount For Evo 6 dollars Meritline

This mount looks to be made specifically for the EVO and also has 3 separate places to hold the phone in snuggly. On sale today for 5 dollars and free shipping (it's always free shipping though)
http://www.meritline.com/360-degree...e-in-car-holder-for-cellphones---p-56121.aspx

I have this dock (got mine off eBay). I don't have a cover and it fits nice and snug. It's actually an iPhone 4 / EVO mount, so don't be surprised if the box is labeled as such.
It does not have built in USB charging (no biggie, buy a cable) and will not be recognized by the phone as a "car dock". For me this was a non-issue, I just devoted one of my home screens to car apps (Google Maps, Trapster, etc.)

wow! for $5 I'll give it a try! I've been wanting one of these for a while but wasn't going to spend the money on sprint's car dock!

Just ordered one. thanks for the link!! i've been looking for a car mount and this deal is greatness. thank you!

just ordered mine too! this baby will go right where my gps was. gotta love google nav!

This probably won't work with the otterbox commuter case right?

Good question. Using the commuter case too.

just looking at the case I highly doubt it. That is one thing I've never been a fan of cases for...but for 5 dollars and free shipping how could you go wrong!

Just ordered mine.
Just received my order confirmation today. Looks like they are shipping it from Singapore and state that it might take 2-3 weeks.

I dont have this mount but just looking at the design...this will scratch your phone for sure..just my .02

Ill give one a shot before I order the one from Sprint off eBay its going for around $40 -$45.

I agree with you. plus i'm rockin' the OB Defender. I figure for $5, it'll give me a working platform and i can fabricate something better(read: JBWeld)

This mount is garbage you have to be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when taking the phone out of the Mount the two clips are very fragile and will break VERY easily.
also adjusting the car dock takes a little bit to get it right where you want it, also make sure to clean the suction cup with alcohol prior to use to get all the gunk off of it so it doesn't fall off the windshield when it warms up.
My first one broke so i called and complained they sent another one so i gave it away and bought the HTC Car dock, and haven't had one problem with it yet.

You called Singapore from California over a $5 part?

I ordered the same one, but it has a vent mount instead of a suction cup. The mount holds the phone perfectly. It does not scratch or marr the phone at all. Only bummer with the vent mount is that it isnt adjustable. Its just straight out. Im working on modifying it so I can tilt the phone towards me while its mounted.
Here is a picture and link to it on ebay. Super cheap! Took a few weeks to arrive though.

My car dock has the same "clip" portion, but a different suction base--but generally I'm extremely pleased with it. It was $5 shipped as well, took about 3 weeks to arrive, and has held up for the last five months or so perfectly.
I actually wrote an app for the market to get "dock" functionality out of car docks that don't actually cause a phone to "dock"; if you're interested it's called "Car Kit" in the market.
With the cheap dock and the app, my phone automatically does everything I want in the car just like the hella expensive official docks. No way I'm spending $50 on what less than $10 can do just as well.

i had that damn thing for a week at most before it broke so hell yeah i called.
i mean come on you wait almost a month to get it then it breaks days later that's BS

just got mine in the mail today! only thing that stands out right away is that you have to be careful putting in and taking out your evo. other than that, this thing is perfect for what I need and at $5 you can't go wrong!
I'm going to try it out tomorrow but with all the snow and ice moving through the midwest tonight I'll have my eyes glued to the road!

It's good to see these things are actually shipping. i'm STILL waiting on mine. I ordered parts for my ecig from Cyprus and even it beat the car dock here. wth?!

Galaxy Note Crown Stand Dock Review

Hey guys! I just wrote a review on my blog, but I thought I'd also post up some pictures and some thoughts for you here.

I wouldn't recommend the dock as a stand-in dock, where you plug it in on the go, or quickly. The phone is only supported by the actual USB plug! So I'd be REALLY worried about the port getting loose over time, so I'd skip that. I had that happen to my SGSII. But on the other hand, you can lay it down and it was made for this, too! So there is no need to worry about the usb plug getting loose. I really like it for this. Just look at the last 2 pictures.
I hope you like it! It's a decent dock, I guess. It's more of a stand now. Haha.

Am tempted by this dock... but don't understand what you're saying here. I mean... in the images it looks like there's a rear-support for the phone to lean against. Do you have to faff with this or something, or does it remain up, so you can just drop the phone on and have it lean?
Alternatively, does anybody have suggestions for docks that work with cases? I got the iGadgitz case (link), which I'm totally pleased with... it doesn't turn your pockets inside-out when pulling it out.

Tap it to the right or to the left, and it'll put some kind of strain on the phone's port. That's what I don't like. I have a dock that DOES support the sides, and still ended up busting the port. I don't use the inbuilt charging feature. I just put it in the landscape orientation and use a normal microusb, and that also allows me to grab my phone while I'm waking up in the morning and unplug it correctly.

Ah, gotya. Yeah, my Streak sits in landscape, with a fat connector, so never realised the difference with the Note and a tiny connection.
And bugger... your port has already been wrecked? So it's a real issue. Bah.
Mmm... not exactly swamped with options that allow for cases though, but don't think I can risk it since I've gotta stick with this baby for 23.75 months yet
That said, this thing does last an entire day, unlike my Streak... so maybe I'll just get a spider-holder or something without charge/usb.

I use the dock daily. I just don't use the built in charger. I turn it on its side and use the regular charger. I think the angle's great.
But this does make me miss the blackberry dock. Blackberry's have metal connectors ONLY for docks that will never mess with any ports . Fantastic idea in my opinion. Oh well. This is a monster of a phone! hehe. Sold my 9900 for it

Awesome.
Thanks for the info, I've gone a head and ordered one.
I guess it'll be safe on my desk, as the odds on knocking it are near zero. As an alarm clock though, I totally get you... I'd wreck it in a single day.
Ah, charging all day at work... I'll probably save a million* in electric bills.
*Ok, maybe $0.01 per month, lol.

Bike mount, do you think this...

....will work and do you have a better option. I like this one because its water proof but don't know if the buttons will align especially the power button and if I will be able to use the touch screen. It does say i9100 though so...

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II, CODENAME style.

You could mount it on a motorcycle, however, it doesn't fit the epic I forgot that the SGII is 4.3 inch and our phones our a bit bigger. I really like to product so I will be modifying it to fit, wont be the best but its better then all the other ones that leave the phone out in the open.

Bought this a few months for both my son & I. It has a bungee to keep it from flying off over railroad tracks. Highly recommended.

Hey Polska
Don't know if you noticed but they do have a Galaxy S version of that.
http://www.ibikeconsole.com/catalog.asp?catid=67650
Was just looking for the same thing and was surprised to find a thread here about it. Well not the bike console, but a stem mount solution that would fit my phone.
That thing looks like the ticket. I like the built in waterproof case as I carry mine naked.

Thanks I did notice but the s has a 4" screen which is even smaller, the volume and power might align better though. I cut out holes for the volume and power button obviously not as water proof anymore but really I just want it to protect the screen/speaker/front front from any moisture which it still does. I also had to modify the rubber lining because the screen didn't aligh with the screen on the case and I was unable to press the home/back etc buttons.
BTW I found my on ebay for $30 so if anybody is looking for one start there. It does not show the brand on ebay but its the same stuff.

Placeholder for now. I'm out and will search when I get home. This'll just show up in my subs so I don't forget. There's a member Miami_Son, he does serious off road riding and found an adjustable mount he used for the captivate.
my phone was here

oh the irony, i was just about to make a thread asking for recommendations for a bike mount...
@polska, can you share the link of the one you found on ebay? is it specific to the ET4G ?

This is what I got, again keep in mind the that SII is 4.3" not 4.5 like our phones and the buttons do no align
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-GAL...633177?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5649389819
...but its the best I could find and for $27 its not a bad price.

Let me know how it fits, then I'll see about ordering it.

Came across this after looking into samsung infuse mounts - scroll down to see bike mount options

Had my ET4G slide across the road because i dropped it while riding, something like this would be wise purchase for me.

Hi, I just bought one yesterday off amazon for my road bike I will let you know how it works it was 16 dollars and universal so we will see lol.

* iTouched Epic

I'm getting ready for a motorcycle trip next month and bought a waterproof hard case from Ultimate Mobiles in the UK completely forgetting that the European s2 has a smaller screen. It will cost more to send it back to the UK than I'd get for a refund so Ivee been looking at modifying it, sadly I can't without making the case useless. The charger and mount will work perfectly for whatever solution I finally end up with.
I'm very interested to see if the ebay case works for our phones, if so I'd be all over it!

Has anyone used this product.
I am thinking of getting this product (just the case version), I am wondering if it will still work if I slap a TPU case on top of it.
Any kind of feedback would help. Thanx.

if you're going to spend that much money, why not just do either the palm touchstone mod or get the qi wireless receiver and transmitter instead? they'll end up cheaper and in the qi case, it'll be reuseable for future products that uses qi standards..
EDIT: You probably wont be able to add a case of your choice on it as well since the size will be very different from the original s3 size.

I like the option of just getting into my car and placing the phone on a the dock. It immediately holds it and also charges it. No messing with wires and a dock holder. I thought I will take it one step further and put a TecTiles on it, so it can start my bluetooth connectivity and other options. All this would be one step.
It also come with a case version, which I am probably going to get. Just did not want to add bulk.

if it works it works, but you will be stuck using it with only their product line and no one else's.
It's up to you though.. i'd rather get a universal option rather than something that is limited to one company only. (I can use chargers from nokia, energizer, oregon scientific, etc while you're going to have to buy from magnetyze) Also to note, once you change your phone, you would have to wait and see if they'll create a case/backing for your next phone if you want to continue using the set or you'll just have to ebay it off or toss it in the trash.
Well... i also don't trust magnets to hold my phone in place while i'm driving as well... I'd rather have a dock that grips it nice and tight rather than a magnet, but that's just me.
