Mine also LTE... With standard battery.

Made this one total cost about $5. I saw official dock $69....... Now I save $64 for my lunch.

next step: add the charging pins

omg thats the nicest dock i have ever seen. I would totally use that for myself, I wouldnt care if it had pins/usb port or not...although the usb port would be pretty sweet

Clean and solid car mount......

Thought I would share my cell mount that I got. I hated big klunkie mounts and buying a new one every time I get a new phone. I found these, one would do but for hard driving two lock the phone in place and nfc works fine.

Which ones did you get? There are multiple options! This is DEFINITELY what I've been looking for!!

One ego for the vent and one fix, I didn't plan on using both but the car is a Charger SRT-8 and if I pushed the car I could make it fall off. Now in most cars this would not be an issue but I like to push it every now and then...

Okay so... the "fix" fastens to the back of the phone and the "ego" clips to the vent? That right?

The "fix" is stuck to the dash under the ego in the vent . All that's on the phone is the metal button that sticks to the magnet in the ego/fix they come with four buttons to choose from..

Alright. I'll be ordering later this morning, haha. Thanks, mate.

is there any options to use this to mount the phone higher up on the windshield like a standard suction cup mount? i really like the idea but i've use vent mounts before i dont really like how it blocks the vent and you have to look away from the road to see your phone.

Just a caution: The stick on variant doesn't like ALL dash types, no matter how well you prep. In my case Subaru WRX.

I got the fixWAY. I love it so much I ended up buying 3 of them, one for each vehicle

I got a car mount from dealextreme and it is quite good. Secure quite tightly and doesnt come loose as i encounter with other mounts.
Granted does not fit when i have my extended battery fit on the phone

Does having a magnet on the back of the phone (when mounted) cause any problems or raise any concerns for anyone?

Yeah that's been asked a few times no it does not matter actually they are 4 small magnets which produce the magnetic fields that holds the phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Here's my setup with the Tetrax Fixway mount I like it a lot. I just used a case to attach the magnet to so I wouldn't have to stick one on my actual phone. It's much more convenient I can just strap on the case when I get in the car and mount it to the Fixway either landscape or portrait.

Dock + case

I searched on here already, but couldn't find anything about this.
I'm looking for a dock I could use with a silicone or tpu case (not a folio). I have a cheap 'universal' eBay one for my S3, but obviously it's a bit more complicated with the Note's proprietary charger.
Does anyone know of anything? I'd be fine with a stand that holds it up high enough off a table top to plug a normal charger in as well.

I found these two on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NFNQWM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A6U7LGCOJZZG2
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QCOKGO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I think this might be a better solution than a regular dock.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

Here are a few that may work for you, remember you can rotate the note 10.1 180 degrees and have the plug at the top and the screen will rotate for viewing.

Almost positive I'll be going with the Myrin. The one for the Note 2 would for my S3! That'd be great to have them both at work.

Been searching but I haven't come accross any mounts.

I've been using for 3 phones now already a pouch made originally for Garmin GPS which is water proof and has clear plastic in front for visual.

if looking for a generic bike mount that will literrally work with any phone/case combo, check out the this:

it's definitely priced on the high end, but you get what you pay for. i've been using this holder for my car and bicycle and it's been solid. btw, you can easily move the holder between car and bicycle.
here's how it looks on my bicycle

How sturdy is the phone on that mount? And are you using that specific mount with the HTC One? Do you have a case on it.
I wonder if I should just order that or order something else from the RAM Mounts page directly

That's my quadlock I love it works wonders and never had an issue just thought you might like some pics

it's very sturdy. i ride at high speed over potholes and the phones has never fallen. if you upgrade your phone often, i would go this route as it will be compatible for almost any phone/case combo.
btw, if it helps, i also use the same mount on my scooter.

Interesting how you cut it out to fit the quadlock. I thought the cut was all the way through. So it's sticking to the inner part of the otterbox then?

Let's talk about Docks.

I'm going to miss using my pogo dock for my gnex, but wireless charging sounds cool. Are there any good dock recommendations out there? I use my phone as a clock so something where it's also a "stand" is what I'm talking about. Please post up any links!

I have a nexus 4 orb charger that I actually bought for my nexus 7. It's pretty awesome but a bit expensive. It's angled so you can see the screen but grips my tablet really well.
https://play.google.com/store/devic...ess_Charger?id=nexus_4_wireless_charger&hl=en
There's also a cheap knock-off version that I bought (it doesn't say nexus on it) to keep at work.
http://dx-box.com/nexus-wireless-charger-adapter-pad-for-lg-google-nexus-4-e960.html
It doesn't have that magnet-like hold on my N7 that the real one has but it might be OK for a phone.
But I would wait for this one...
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/

I wonder what the charging time of the new pad will be? Kinda like the look and idea but 4hr charge? Ha. I heard Sony is making one (or working on one) that sits the time in half but it probably won't be out till 2015

not the wireless dock, but if you guys remember samsung desk dock for infuse 4G, nexus 4 was kinda loose on that dock. Since the N5 is a bit wider, i hope it will fit on it perfectly!!!
Fingers crossed :good::good::good: :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Does anyone has the infuse 4G dock?

I like the orb thing, but I actually might just buy that nexus brand pad and maybe build some kind of dock for it.

This won't prop the phone up, but you could probably find a way.
I've been using it for about 2 months, works great, makes a quiet noise when connecting, works will all my cases.

It's not much bigger than a Galaxy Note. Funny, I actually used it to stretch out a leather pouch for my gNote.

FWIW I just bought the Nokia QI charger (DT-900) from AT&Ts website - $24.50 w/free shipping.
I read a review that went over the Nexus (old version), LG and Nokia one and chose the Nokia one as the winner... so... yeah.

It's a bit bigger than the others - more info here at the showdown/review I found:

The vu is my favorite of the 4 qi chargers I have. There no fiddling if how to place it. It's worked every time right away. It is more expensive (I got it for half that when it was kick started).

Ha ha! I am in the exact same boat as you! I've been using the Infuse dock for my Gnex and am cautiously optimistic for the "fit" with my freshly-ordered N5! I don't mind it being a little loose ... Just hope it's not too snug.
(Wait... Did I really say that ^ ?)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Let us know if that works!!
I've been think more about the wireless charging dock and I don't see a practical way it will work. From my research, people say their phones barely charge, and sometime discharge when day dreaming on a wireless charging pad. So for me, not being able to use the dock for day dreaming a clock defeats the whole purpose of having a dock. Wish it just had pogo pins
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

I use the orb for my n4 and the Nokia dt-910 for my n7. my n7 daydreams as my bedside click and it charges just fine. the 910 is a bit nicer than the orb imo, but the n4 had issues with it so hopefully the n5 is OK. it works perfectly with my n7, and I'd recommend either

I bought a Kidigi universal dock only to discover that the micro USB socket on the phone is oriented differently than most phones. It's back to front!
It looks like Kidigi has some new docks coming out, including this one for the Nexus 5:
