Tape it to the inside of your visor with the camera on.

A RAM medium aqua box holds it very snugly and could be secured via a RAM steering stem mount.
I've got it for my Daytona 675 and it works great. I do, however, need to modify the aqua box a bit to make room for a charging cable's end to plug into my Powerlet socket.

I will be using it for navigational purposes. Google Navigation has been a very nice app for my Samsung Galaxy S II, and I hope that trends follows on to the Galaxy Nexus.

Sadly though I can't use a steering stem mount. The hole is only 0.25 and it needs to be atleast 0.50.
That medium aqua box, is it bulky?
Ah, that's too bad, I'm sure you can find somewhere to mount another RAM ball though!
The aqua box is definitely bulkier than a non-waterproof case, but it's not so bulky that it gets in the way while riding even when I tuck behind my windscreen. I'll try to snap a few pictures for you in the next day or two, not positive when I'll have a chance since my bike is in storage at the moment though.

There's a clutch-reservoir attachment that will fit with my Suzuki SV650S, atleast according to their website. So I might go with that solution.
And I would very much appreciate some pictures of your waterproof case. Can you do some photo's where the bike is in full view aswell? Just for the overall comparison between case size and bike size

Galaxy Nexus Bike Mount
Have you looked at these?
Look nice but I think I will have some problem with the rain...
I was browsing LetsTalk and saw this which imediatly reminded me of this thread:
http://www.letstalk.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=38763
Not sure if it looks that nice but its made to latch on to a bar on a motorcycle/bicycle.

Universal spring load mount
I bought this spring loaded PDA mount for my PDA that had a Garmin GPS built in.

gpscity.com/ram-mount-universal-pda-top-clamp-cradle.htm (I cannot post links yet in here so you have to copy and past the url into your browser)
This list has several configurations with this mount (windsheild suction cup, Ubolt, handlebar mount, etc)
gpscity.com/search/q=universal+pda+mount
When I bought my Droid 2 years ago, I just dropped it in this universal spring loaded mount I was using for my PDA and it worked great.
I am going to order another to have in my car so I won't have to keep moving it back and forth from my bike. I expect to be able to use these mounts for any phone I buy in the foreseeable future (I am waiting on my GN to arrive in the mail right now). You can put whatever type mount you want with it to attach it to the bike or car.
I ride a Honda VFR 750 and do alot of long rides with it.
This will not offer protection from rain, but if it is very light rain, I usually just keep one of those stretchy type plastic kitchen bowl covers that have the elastic cord around the outside. They are made out of the same stuff ziplock bags are made of. The right size will stretch over the entire mount and keep it dry as long as you are not riding in a downpour.
Kind of stinks that none of these mounts (the Verizon one especially) don't have inputs for any of the cables. So you basically have to rip the case off, dock it, then connect everything every time. Make me sad they cant do what Motorola does and build em to work with all of that =(
This might help you sir, try Googling RAM Motorcycle Mount. Still can't post external links.
Got givi case and it works fine fir me

I received my mount and I have to say I really want to like this mount but I have issues with the discs. I cleaned the back of my case to get rid of the oil from the fingers and placed the disc onto the back of the cover. When placing the phone onto the mount and turning, the disc starts to rotate and eventually comes off. I do not feel that the disc will hold very well. I am trying to figure out what I can do to make this work. Anyone else have issues?
- Garrett
Garrett, I masked off a small circle on the back of my cheapie eBay case and sanded off the rubberized coating. The smooth clean surface of the underlying plastic takes the disc very well and is rock solid. Here are some pics I took during the process.
About 20 strips of masking tape......(see pic below)
The results after sanding and cleaning with alcohol.....it's not perfect, but the spot is a little smaller than the disc, so the less-than-perfect edges are not visible.(see pic below)
The finished product.(see pic below)

I read that the best place to put the disc is towards the middle of the EVO, so you can use it in either horizontal or vertical. I've got mine, just waiting on a cheapo case to use instead of on the phone itself.
It's mounted and ready to go in the car, can't wait for the case!
i put my disc on so that tab would keep it locked in good horizontally, but i can still use it vertically if i wanted to. It came with a extra disc, so i guess if i wanted to i could also put it on so that it would be locked in good vertically as well.
I bought two of these mounts and is just awesome. So sturdy!

I just bought this after reading another 4 page thread. I bought two using the WOOT code, and bought a snap-on plastic case for the disc attachment. I have a 2007 Honda Civic and was wondering where to put it and when I saw your pics I realized that you probably found the best spot. Awesome!
I also use the Evo for gps and would like to keep it in a horizontal position. Does the rubber disc need to face a certain direction when being placed in order to lock it in horizontally instead of vertically?
Also, it seems that GPS drain is greater than the recharge from my car charger

This is my mount I just put into my auto. I didnt like the floor mount one.
I actually used an iPad version but the height of the holder is adjustable. Mine has a tendency to lean to the right if I make a left turn. The mount to the floor\seat is rock solid but the arm itself can twist pretty easily. I have to nudge it between the carseat and the console itself. It does the job though. Replacing my outdated GPS with Google maps is pretty awesome. Plus Google search actually works.
ram mount looks ok, i would like to see how much it bounces though.

I just got mine today and my answer: quite a bit. However, I have 2 cars and the one I tested it in today is a lowered mustang with stiff after market motor mounts and a VERY stiff reinforced frame, so in another car it might not be quite as bad. It does wobble some just from tapping it with my finger while the car isn't running, but its not awful. All that having been said, the car this is going to primarily be used in has a center console that is placed such that I should be able to secure the pole to it using Velcro or something and based on my testing today holding the pole about where I intend to secure it to the center console, it should make the vibration negligible. I will report back once I get it installed tomorrow and let you know how it performs.
If you guys are interested I'll post a picture of it in the car. Since it was temporary I didn't do much bending with the pole and its basically straight which is probably not helping with the vibration (being an 18" long moment arm, versus shorter if it had some bends in it, or possibly sawed off to be shorter)

Unfortunately no one made a mount like that with a base that I liked how it attached to the console in my car which is why I went with the floor mount. I get my DD back from the shop today so we'll see how it works out.

Somewhere in the dash area. I have air vent mount for my Note 5.3. That's ideal for me because I can look at it without taking my eyes of the road. I hate windshield mounts because they just seem to get in the way of my field of view and it drives me nuts. That sticky mount in that link looks like it could work, but the dash in my car isn't smooth, it's kind of textured, so I'm not sure how well something like that would work.

My girlfriend has a 2012 Scion tc, the dash is super textured. I'll see if the sticky mount works on hers.
To clarify, is your dash the plastic textured stuff or the faux leather textured stuff?

hi i'm looking for a good bicycle mount to put my s3 in.
it needs to be weather proof and also able to plug headphones into the phone.
so far i can only find a universal one that is the "Arkon SM032".
if any one has this mount, what is your opinion of it with the s3 and can you plug headphones into it as the jack is at the top of the phone.
if any one has any other suggestions as to a good bicycle mount then that will be great.
thanks in advance

i like this case but i am unsure about a couple of things.
1. is it weather proof ie, will it survive torrential rain on my bike
2. it isnt very clear about headphones. i read that there is a adapter, does this come with the case or do i have to buy this separately.

The case comes with 2 pads, a thick one and a thin one; the pics show the thick one in use, I like how it brings the phone all the way up to the plastic cover. It does make things tight, however, so I'd probably use the thin pad with headphones (I didn't have headphones on me when I took these pics).
It's a solid mount if you're using it for navigation or tracking; sometimes I like to you My Tracks to see my route and mileage. I don't use this setup for music when I ride, but I would think there's enough room if you use the small pad; there's a cable pass through slot on the case.
One other thing to mention is that the there's a screw on the back of the case where it connects to the mount, so there's no way it'll fall off from vibration or whatnot.
Here ya go, this looks a decent bracket and case for the S3

i have recently started riding to work and have always enjoyed mountain biking through dalby Forrest, so when i get my own bike at the end of the month i will definitely be getting 1 of these mounts. i haven't decided yet whether to get the arkon 032 or the trident case and mount but i will let you know and give my opinion of which 1 i choose.
in the mean time if anyone knows of any other mount i should consider please feel free to reply as i will still be subscribed to this post.

why would you want a bikemoint?
soooo you can mount it to your bike??
why would I want to mount my phone to my bike? here is what I "run" on my bike
icardio. mapping tracking and heartrate with lap and time etc..
music (going to my bt speaker also mounted to my handlebars usually playing a podcast)
backup light (in case my primary dies)
cycle computer software running (speed distance cadence etc.. etc..)
ability to take calls and see who is calling without having to touch the phone.
BTW SLIP GRIP has mounts for the S3 AND for "other cases" including my preffered case ology cases (impact case) and otter and a few others!! sweet!
sadly shady gambino you confirmed I can't use that case. your S3 is almost too big so mine inside its case will definitely be too big

Weather Proof for Road Biking
Hey guys,
I just bought this case and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Very solid case thats can handle the rain and long road bike rides. It also allows for headphones to be plugged in which is a huge plus for me. A little on the expensive side but if you read the comments, phones have survived drops at 18km/hr.

Anyone got a good car mount go the OGP? Thinkg of going with the iBolt but worried about it hitting the on./off and vol buttons
Our landscape home screen will flip either way. If that helps any.
I'm using a smart gear car mount ($15 at Micro Center) that has been working very well. I have a case on my phone that protects the buttons a bit so I haven't had any issues with it. I haven't tried it without the case on but I think it would be ok without, just probably would squeeze it quite as tight on the phone as I do with the case on.

I have that. It's pretty ridiculous. Every few weeks I pull it off the mount (which is easy) and wash it under warm or hot water. Sticky as new again.
Do not use that with a naked phone, It will pull the back cover off LOL!
If you have a slot-loading cd slot on your car stereo, you can use this.

I've been using it for about two years, bought it for my original Galaxy Note and fits the LG OGP as well. It won't damage the slot and it doesn't jerk around or bounce with the car's movements.

I'm using a smart gear car mount ($15 at Micro Center) that has been working very well. I have a case on my phone that protects the buttons a bit so I haven't had any issues with it. I haven't tried it without the case on but I think it would be ok without, just probably would squeeze it quite as tight on the phone as I do with the case on.

This will hold onto the OGP with a Zerolemon and supplied case.
I really dig it.
I have never had a phone fall off this yet.

Think it'll hold up to some minor off-roading?

I work at officemax and this mount was on sale for around $10 on black friday last year, so I got it. Great mount. Holds the G Pro very securely, and very easy to adjust, too.

I just got the vent mount version of that holder and it works surprisingly well with the OG Pro. I thought it would be loose, but it did a great job on a road trip.
As far as Off Roading, I drive a Subaru Baja.... So I have no idea LMAO!
I got the iBolt xProDock (the generic one) and the thing is great, not interfering with the buttons at all, and it's rock solid. I do use it with a TPU case, rather than bare, mind you.

I also got one of those universal clip-style mounts (not the dock style ones). It's actually pretty good too, though there's no real way to fix a charging cable to it without it looking strange. Also, with my windshield's angle, I had to adjust the thing to the stops at both ends for the OGP to be angled properly. It would probably work better on a more vertical windshield.

I bought the one for the F240 from overseas off ebay, it is a direct snap in fit.
Hopefully I'll get it soon.

Best I've ever use. Don't block your display either (depends on system)

I ordered one of those, it's to big. Seems like it was designed for the Galaxy Note 2 and someone repurposed it.

Well, they will get red, lol, at least it was only $5

Anyone considering Nokia's universal wireless charging cradle CR-200 http://www.nokia.com/global/products/accessory/cr-200/
Seems like it will fit our LGPro but not sure if the 0.750A will be sufficient to keep the charge while running navigation... Any thoughts?

I still have my RAM mount when I had a Nexus 7. This thing was solid and they also make universal mounts for phones. You have to purchase the base to connect to your car though. I had one that mounts to the base of the passenger side seat. This was set up for a tablet though. Nexus 7's make awesome GPS There's lots of different choices you can mix and match parts to make a custom mount as long as they're compatible with each other.

I went old school.............
Low gauge sheet metal, check!
Sheet Metal Bender, check!
Industrial grade velcro, check!
I cut a 2" wide by 5" long piece of sheet metal and I bent it 90 degrees, took three screws and screwed the angle sleeve into the dash.
Applied 1 side of the velcro to the angle sleeve, over the top, so the the velcro doesn't want to peel off the sleeve.
Applied the other side of the velcro to the back of the phone and it's done.
I wrap the usb cord around the bottom of the sleeve below the phone. My phone doesn't move, and it's very usable
