Car kit w/ Otterbox Commuter?

Has anyone got one that works with this yet or jimmy-rigged one to work?
Also, I'm gonna cut this effing rubber HDMI/mini-USB piece off!

Lol...yea I've had mines on for 1hour now nd thinking of cutting it WHEN it starts to annoy me.
sent from the current baddest cell phone on the planet.....the HTC Evo 4G

I bought the Kensington K39210US Vehicle Mount discussed in another thread title "Low Profile Car Mount" (I can't add external links)
My commuter case just arrived at home today...sadly after I had already dropped the phone yesterday! Bummed...but it could've been a lot worse. Only some minor dings on the corners.
Back on topic, I have the car kit coming in tomorrow. As soon as I put both in place, I will let you know how it works out. I've been told that the Seido Active case works with the car kit in the link and that the Commuter is similar in thickness as Seido if not thinner.

Awesome, I'd appreciate it. Take pics when you've got it going... If it works; I'll buy it ASAP! I need it before Oct 1st, going to the Grand Canyon

if anyone tries this with the siedio car kit and it works please let us know.

Did you preform your quest? Please update?

I just got the Commuter case from the local Sprint store over lunch, and can confirm it works just fine with this Arkon universal windshield and vent mount:

Too ugly for me

Sorry for lack of updates guys. I got my tracking info early last week for UPS and from the updates, I should've had the mount since the 16th!
As of now, there have been no new updates on where the package is. Really annoying. I hope I get the package today so I can test out and report back here. If not, I'll have to chase UPS down to see what's up.
Sorry for the delay.

My Kensington mount arrived yesterday.
In short, the EVO w/ Otterbox Commuter does fit onto the mount. Though I have to say (similar to the Seido case), given the Commuter adds a little bit of thickness and because the hard case is a little slick, the EVO may fall out easily (either landscape or portrait).
I snapped it on and gave it a little shake and it holds fairly well, but that doesn't mean going over large bumps or potholes will necessarily hold it in place.
I haven't been able to test it in vehicle yet as the vents in my car don't accommodate the vent mount and stupid California outlaws windshield mount. I will attempt to use Windshield regardless and will report my experience.
I will also post pictures (hopefully this weekend) so you guys can see what I'm referring to. All in all, perhaps with a little modification like adding thin layer of rubber onto the grips may work even better.
Brian

Awesome yeah... You're not gonna get pulled over a windshield mount, as long as you don't have it in a spot which makes it difficult to see in front of you.
Please post pics ASAP. I need to get this rockin by the 29th as I'm going on a road trip

Yeah I figure the likelihood isn't too high to get pulled over as much as me not having a front plate. =)
I'll try to shoot for earlier than the weekend to get pics on here.

Yeah hurry up homes

Seems everyone is waiting on Brian75 to post pics, but thought I would post pics of my EVO in my Commuter case, mounted in the Arkon universal windshield mount in my car. You'll notice the silicon tab covering the charging and HDMI ports on the bottom fit perfectly between the feet of the universal mount.
Just offering an alternative to the Kensington mount, and much more secure. No chance the EVO is coming out of the mount unless I want it to.
Decide for yourself how ugly it is. I have no issues with it. Sorry for the poor quality pictures. It was too sunny yesterday.

I think it's great, but it's a pain in the ass to keep putting your phone in and zipped it tight...

Does it also rotate ... for like map view?

Yes it rotates to landscape - sorry I didn't take any pictures in that orientation. The universal cradle is mounted to the arm with a ball joint that has adjustable tension and will swivel 360 degrees. It also tilts up and down enough to be able to have the EVO pointed at you for a straight-on viewing angle.
To be honest, I leave it in the orientation shown 99% of the time.

I respectfully disagree. I put my EVO in and take it out with one hand without issue. Have you used this mount for any length of time to generate this opinion?
(Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the mfr of this mount... I simply like it)

I haven't but it probably works like all other mounts that click to close... if you would post a picture of it sideways with the charger plugged in, that would be awesome and I'd probably purchase it tomorrow

Awesome Shell Case-Review

Ok, So I got this case a day ago and I decided to write a review because of how impressed I was. (especially for the price). I found this shell case here, and it is pretty cool. (My print is the carbon fiber, and it comes in a few other colors as well.)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Case itself:
This is a simple plastic case that clips onto the back of the Xoom. It is simple hard plastic, with the pattern printed on it. I was very impressed by both the fit and the quality of the print on the case. The Print is very detailed, maintaining great shadowing (for dimension) and enough detail to see individual (printed) strands of carbon fiber. The fit is good, it's snug and does not wobble or wiggle. It only protrudes top and bottom, the sides do not wrap all the way around, but instead only cover the first bit of the sides.( Makes it easier to remove for whatever reason and facilitates access to the tricky volume keys.) I was also very surprised at how slim it is on the Xoom, it doesn't add much bulk at all.
Another sign of the quality of this case is the edges of the cut outs, they are all tapered and rounded, with matching print quality, something I wasn't expecting on a sub $20 case.
The Seller and Shipping:
I ordered this on a Sunday and received it on a Wednesday, so the turn around time was great. The package was shipped USPS, so ship times may vary. Also, shipping was either dirt cheap or free (I can't remember).
The Seller also took a couple dollars off my order, (on top of the code "CRAPISGOOD" for XDA members [%10 off]) Which was appreciated.
My Verdict:
If you are looking for a cheap case that is of great quality, this is for you. It comes in many different print options, and is a great shell. Even if you are not, it is probably worth the $20 investment.

can you charge the xoom while its in this case with the motorola stands?

Is it grippy or smooth?
I knead grippage!!

I was going to buy one as well...
Can you tell me if you can still use the docking stations with this installed? I know you can with the silicon case so if this is thin enough I would think it would work as well.
I am also interested in how slippery it is. I have a hard time holding on to my naked Xoom and appreciate the grip the silicon case provides, it is just really ugly IMHO. The carbon fiber hellshell looks really cool.

It is very glossy and slick. As for the charging situation, I don't have a dock so I can't say for sure, but if it works with the silicon case it should work with this its smaller then the silicon one.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.

Thanks man! Just ordered mine (front/ back clear). Been looking for a good case, and it looks like you may have found it for me!

Not to be rude, but you NEED to check this instead of assuming. Reason I asked was because I bought a similar case off ebay and it would not fit on the dock, hence it was useless.

I don't have a dock, nor do I want one, so my assumption will have to do.

Had mine on for a few hours now, TOTALLY loving it.
I purchased the clear one, front/back snap on cover and it adds a few mm to it, but to me it feels better holding it now also wish I had it on when it fell off the bed and scratched along our textured walls.... I have super light blue scratches on the top right and bottom left corners now... grrrrr!!!.
I would recommend this case to anyone who wants a little more protection for the device, and can't wait for super cool otterbox cases and the like to come out.
Word of caution though, I put it on with a Zagg front and back screen protector (the damn side strips were a PITA to put on)..... don't do that. It was super difficult to take off lol

As anyone tried this with a docking station? I really want to order the carbon fiber shell, but want to know if it will fit in the docking station with the shell installed first. I know it is not very much money, but it is still enough that I do not want to make the wrong purchase.

Am I blind, or is there no mention of who makes this or who sells it?

It is in the OP, just not very prominant.
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_25&products_id=28

I like the look of that shell. I currently have the Skinomi carbon skin. I wonder if this shell would fit with that installed.

Did I see Netflix?
Is that netflix app on your home screen working for streaming videos??

Thats my project for today

Just got mine
Ordered one of the cases...fits great. Nice feel to the shell. Best of all using the 2nd attachment that came with the speaker dock, I can charge it as well.
The case gives the Xoom a much more polished feel/look to it...very happy with it.

Just got my case. This thing is great. I got the skulls version and I like it alot, only one complainent. The case is pretty smooth, so now its smoother than the stock tablet.
Now if they would only start shipping the pivot-pad, I would be all set!

i have the same case as well.
and for those asking if this would fit the motorola charge/docking port stand yes it will. motorola offers a plastic adapter that you can add to make the xoom fit if it has a case on.

I forgot to add that as well, my standard dock came with a adapter plate. That plate works with this case just perfect.

Searching for car doc for Galaxy Note with Gel Case

My idea is to install a Brodit car holder, so I only need some "universal" mobile-holder.
I've already seen some, for exemple this one from Brodit,
but I don't know, if my Note will fit with the gel case installed.
Does anybody of you got an idea?
Thanky guys (and grils)!

I'm using a universal phone mount from eBay, look for 'Phone CD Mount'. It mounted to the CD opening slot.

I've bought Herbert Richter car holder:
http://www.amazon.de/Herbert-Richte...=sr_1_2?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1323077084&sr=1-2
So far I have no case on the SGN but I'm sure it will fit with any case that is not thicker than 5 mm on sides.
It's made in Germany and you can immediately feel the quality. It's sturdy and seems to be pretty solid, with option to rotate thanks to ball-head.

Capdase Cigarette USB Car Charger for Galaxy Note
I did a lot of research as well for the one that can hold the Note in a case.
Liked the Brodit one for the custom made feel, but it doesn't work for me if I need to take the case on and off everytime in order to put the phone in the holster.
Then I found this Capdase one that is perfect for this Note as it has USB jacks to charge as well.
Just ordered this one. Couldn't wait to get it. Will review soon upon receipt.

that looks awesome, but will it hold the 5.3" PLUS a gel case?
The page says up to a 5" screen

Yeah, it will. It holds a bare note with quite a lot of extra room.
I can take a pic for you if you're interested..

I'll believe you

I just ordered the official Samsung car dock from Expansys today and even though it says the product ships in two days, I just got an email saying my order had already shipped.
So I should have it either tomorrow or Friday.
I'll let you know how it works.

Works well dude. Got it from the Samsung shop at Vodaworld. Got the desktop dock too.
EDIT: The gel case (or any case for that matter) has to come off to use the car dock. I just ordered the Exogear one mentioned above because of this.

Thanks for your work, but you're in the wrong thread. Here we're talking about car docs for Note in a case!

I use the Spider Podium, it can be configured to fit any mobile. An additional plus is that it can easily be used as a phone holder in the home too!

I had a brodit adjustable iPhone 3gs holder, that can be adjusted width wise. Works great for my note and can go wider still so should be good for a case too.

are we sure that this exomount works with silicon case?

Original poster,
I have the same gel case as you have shown in the pictures. In my vehicle I use the Bracketron PHV-202-BL Grip-iT GPS and Mobile Device Holder. I have two of them. One is mounted to the air duct. The other is mounted on a McAllay adjustable cup holder arm (because I already had that and the Bracketron fits on it). If you want a cup-holder mounted solution then you could probably use the Bracketron UCH-101-BL Universal Cup-iT II Mount with Grip-iT for GPS. Of course, you have to take into consideration your car's cupholder configuration.
I use two docks because for GPS I use the one mounted (up) on the air duct and for all other uses I place the Galaxy Note in the cupholder mount for easy access as my arm sits on the center armrest.

[Review] SlipGrip Mounts

EDIT: Posted my review - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582898&page=2
Does anybody here have any experience with these?
I originally planned to buy one for my Incredible but never got around to it. The thing that interests me about these is that they supposedly fit the phone while a case is still on. No pogo charging of course, but not having to take the case off compensates for that in my mind.
Here's their selection for the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/Galaxy-Nexus_c_21957.html

Guess I'll just have to buy one and see then.

if you are using a tpu or any case with a smooth flat back you can check out the clingo mount. thats what im using with the incipio silicrylic works great you dont even see the mount with the phone on and you can use it for your next phone.

It seems like they work well based on the few videos I found. Here's a video of the EVO version, ignore the cheesy music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb3a...DvjVQa1PpcFOK-sVRP7Ikki2KBkd2dR1aFq9dFhq7kZs=

I'm interested in the goose neck holder but I'm a bit skeptical on how their "hard rubber or silicone case" version works. If my rubber or silicone case is smaller and thinner than average, is it going to be loose? If my case is large and in-charge is it going to be difficult to remove and put in?
If anyone can provide a review, I'd love to take a good look at it. They look much better and more secure than the Arkon holder I have. The last thing I want though is something loose or hard to put in.

I'll probably be buying one of the "for Hard Rubber or Silicone Case" ones and will be using it with a Cruzerlite A2 case. I'll post a review when I do.

Awesome. I'll be waiting for that.

Broke down and ordered (gooseneck). I'll give an ETA if they send me a tracking number. Based on reviews of the same mount for other phones, it should be decent.

I bought the proclip air vent mount for my nexus! Its awesome! Well worth the price I paid!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

They look good to me. If I wasn't in the process of doing the touchstone mod & hanging one of those in my car I would probably do this.

It'll probably be here early next week. Expect some pics and my thoughts.

The mount was delivered today.
My first impression is positive. It feels nice and solid.
The suction cup is large and very strong. I tried pulling it off and it didn't budge. I'll have to see how it holds up with extended use.
The goose neck is very sturdy and takes a bit of force to adjust which is good. It means it won't go moving on it's own.
The phone holder fits my Nexus nicely with either my Cruzerlite A2 or Diztronic TPU cases on the phone. The clip holds the phone snugly enough to securely hold it but not so tight that it's hard to remove. There are cut outs for the camera and the speaker on the back (pic below). Where it connects to the goose neck, there is a ball/socket type adjustment which allows it to tilt in all directions.
There's a small flaw in the design near the headphone jack. It's not cut out quite deep enough (can be seen in last pic). I'm sure this could be easily fixed by using a round file to deepen the cutout to where it should to be. This isn't a problem in my case, as I connect to my radio via Bluetooth, but it's something to consider if you need access to it.

The camera is unobstructed by the holder. The suction cup easily gets in the way, but the goose neck can be adjusted to avoid it. This is useful for recording video and time-lapses.
The mount is handy for using the Torque OBD scanner app safely in addition to GPS navigation.
The too shallow head phone jack cut out.
Overall, this is a good mount for the money. Especially if you want the ability to leave your case on. The shipping was very fast from SlipGrip and they offer a variety of other mounting options.
Pros: Fits phone with a case ON, camera cut out, nice suction cup, sturdy goose neck, universal fit.
Cons: Improper cutout for head phone jack.

Ordered some NFC stickers. Gonna put one in the dock and see how it works.

Charging Dock that will fit Z3C with a case on

Hi all. About to order the phone and looking at the US Sony site.. there doesn't seem to be a charging dock for this on there yet. I was hoping you guys could recommend a dock that will fit this phone with a case on (Rearth Ringke Fusion to be specific). A link to the specific one would be appreciated. Thanks!

Get any dock (DK48 is the Z3 series one) remove all the inserts, get some Velcro or thick felt, line the dock - your phone will fit with any case.
Example: I'm using a DK48 with no insert, and a bit of felt, the phone leans back a little but it charges fine.
I've brought other docks too, they're all essentially the same, the only difference is the thickness of the insert, I've found though that no insert works if your case is a bit thicker than very thin.

one of the amazon reviews for the DK48 says to just get the DK36, which was made for the Z2, since it's a bit larger. can anyone confirm that this will fit the Z3C with a case, without removing the inserts?

I can confirm it doesn't, as I have both this and the DK48

Can i insert Z3C with both tempered glass from rear and front in DK36 dock?

Probably, minus insert, with some felt. There are threads here about people modding their docks.

I modified a dk36 dock I got to fit my z3 compact with the ringke case. Check the pics.

yea i ordered one of those also from amazon along with a Deff adapter. seems like the only option for those with cases

Sony DK36+Ringke smokes case+Tempered glass = no problems.
Just like my title states, no problems. I did add 3 strips (layered on one another) 3M microfoam to the dock part that the back of the phone rests on to make it more upright. I've only had my phone since Dec. 1. Love my accessories that I bought with this and no regrets with the pairing of the Ringke smoke case and dock. I went with someone's suggestion here and ordered the DK36 on Amazon and it was cheaper than the DK48 at that time. I am not using either insert with the dock because the phone+case will not fit any one of them. With the Xperia Desk Clock app, got a really expense alarm clock. Enjoy the pics!

the Kosee Case Compatible Charge Dock has been great for me. no fiddling with it also.

I have a ringke fusion case on , and have taken out the plastic drop ins. Now I use the desk charger with out any drop in and it works fine.

Dk48 plus icecream stick

So, finally the operation has finished.
I do not want to force it until tomorrow so will be back tomorow. http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2015/02/25/repair.jpg

I got a DK48 charging stand, but none of the inserts worked with the Rinke case, so I 3D Printed one myself to fit exactly. The snaps between insert and base don't work well since it's not real plastic, but it's snug, doesn't move, and makes it fit well... and the magnetic thingie works perfectly fine.

Do you have the file posted anywhere?

Wow that's awesome. Yes, do you have the file for printing and we could print it as well. U are genius man…

Hey guys, Yeah, I am attaching the STL file in case anyone else wants to print one. I went through 3 different trial/error fittings, I found this to be the best one. Like I said the small snaps at the bottom will likely break off since the printer materials are usually not as strong as real ABS, but the friction fit seems to have worked well enough to hold mine in. Enjoy.

That's awesome. Wish I had access to a 3D printer, cause I am running same case, just using DK48 without any insert right now.
