I couldn't find a decent car dock for my EVO, so I drummed up my own, and it's damn sweet (and cheap!) if i may say so myself....

I use a car mount that I got from walmart years ago. Its one of those ones that clips to the vent.

I have the same case, but it is clear plastic and hard, not rubberized, so it actually provide some type of drop protection.
I added the disk to the back of the case, and it is great. Keeps the camera off the table when I set it down, and you don't notice the disk while its in your pocket.
That car mount is the nicest mount I have ever used. It is rock solid when installed. The disk will NOT firmly attach to the evo battery cover, the textured paint will cause it to fall off. The service from the guys that sell that case is absolutely top notch, I would buy again from them in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the idea. Ordered the exact samething, except I got the black case since that would match my car better. Same price too.

I didn't want to cover my EVO with a case, so I needed to get a car dock similar to the one I had on my iPhone. No Universal car docs for me.
Look up item 250638968146 on eBay.
I just ordered one, i'll let everyone know how it works out when it comes in.

i just ordered two of them beause i have another weekend car. how is it on bumps? does it look as if its gonna fall off? im just worried about the phone falling off because i have stiff suspension on my other car.
is the clip on backplate sturdy enough?
thanks for posting the code though, thats awesome

<sorry, I cannot post a link or image yet>
I'm using scosche's mount for iphone 3gs(IPH3G). It is a bit tight for my evo, but I really like its flexible windshield mount, and this tightness makes the phone stay within the dock in any position.
fiy, I just got "Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover: $3.22", and it also fits with this mount.. (more tight than before though...)

Any tips on getting the disc to stick on the case?
I've used both of the disks, and they stay decenly on the case until I actually try to dock it in the M2... as soon as I try to rotate the device at all the disk just pops right off

I had the same issue. Super glue solved the problem. The adhesive they provide will not bond to anything (in my case, Seidio Innocase Active Limited Edition Black, the slightly ruberized exo-skeleton part). Works great now and I don't think its gonna fall off anytime soon.

I just bought one as well... this will be my first non proclip mount and I am happy about the discount - so much so that I bought 2 of them and a red case! Thanks for the tip! I will send pics when they arrive and I mount them - lets see if the summer heat melts them away!

installed last week
I didn't want to post a reply until I actually used it for a little while but now I can actually say... what a fantastic mount. I have it braced against my dash and installed the disc on the back of my active case. Unbelievable how unobtrusive thewhole set up is compared to a normal dock. Would recommend to anybody. FYI get a Bluetooth receiver. Unlimited data from Sprint means you can stream all day long

I was surprised to hear you had problems with the disk... did you swab the hell out of the case with the alcohol swab that came with, the case felt a little dusty so that is very important... I actually tried to get mine OFF and had a hell of a time and gave up. Another question, is the disk on the phone or the case I recommend?
Glad to hear its being enjoyed by some as much as I have enjoyed mine.

Well, to be totally honest the alcohol wipe I received was mostly dry when I openened it, and I figured the case was new so I didn't bother wiping it, although I used what little alcohol that was on it to wipe down my dash before applying the dash mount. However, I have noticed after all this that case does have a dusty feel out of the box, so maybe that was it.
It also seems the disk-in-the-mount is a tight fit... once it falls off of my case, I almost need a pair of pliers to rotate the disk and pull it out.
I'll try superglue and see if that helps.

Otterbox Commuter + garmin mount = perfect

I just wanted to pass along my latest revelation. the evo otterbox fits in a garmin widow mount. You place it in just like you would the gps. Its not a perfect fit, but will hold just fine. I have been on two offroad trips with my jeep and it has not fallen out once.
EDITED FOR PICS
these are the best pics I could get. Its too dark to get a decent pic outside. It slides left to right with minimal effort, when I first tried it I didnt think it would work out well, but it has not slid on its own in several trips and about 15 miles of dirt road.
it also works well for video when you slide it all the way to the left.

as you can see, the clips just barely go around the chine of the case (the little lip where it goes from the side to the back of the case)
It gives it enough support to hold, one could add some type of nonskid padding to the bracket to prevent any movement. It shakes less than my mirrors do while driving down the road.
If it works on my rig, it should work on yours. Im willing to bet my ride shakes and wobbles more than the average car.

post a pic please

I been thinking of purchasing a vent mount. I have a c class mercedes. It's pretty small so the vents are close to me. I wouldnt want anything on my windows, but please do post some pictures I would like to see you that looks.

edit added to first post

What model of Garmin is the mount from? Or, are they all the same?

The otterbox commuter is CRAP. I've gone through 2 of them and gave up. The rubber along the bottom front of the phone is flimsy and stretches out VERY easily. Friction from taking out of my front pocket was enough to permanently deform it.

I got a universal vent/window mount from RadioShack and it works great... I use the vent mount in my wife's car and the window one in my truck..
The vent mount is a little bit of a pain to get on there and take off but it's pretty sturdy once it's locked in there... and it was only like $15-$20; it has some firm foam on both sides of the "grabbers" so that it holds really tight
Oh yeah, I have the OtterBox commuter on the phone too

the BEST universal car mount out there

i didn't see this posted anywhere, but it is hands down the best car mount out there...unless you use CDs for music
http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-MT500..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1296490219&sr=1-1
im sure the first question would be whether it trips the autoload or not, which it does not, it isn't nearly long enough in probably 99.9% of car cd players
the thing is tight and doesn't wobble at all but can easily be removed if need be, oh and the bottom plate can be removed, so its just the two gripper thingies
its also at the perfect eye level (for me anyway: mitsubishi lancer), and doesnt obscure the view of the road at all.

Personally I use the Clingo vent mount and I think that its the BEST car mount ever! All you see is the phone not some bulky grips on the sides. These things work! Just my two cents! www.clingo.com

unfortunately due to the placement of my vents and the view obstruction (annoyance) of windshield ones, conventional mount locations are out of the question...ive seen that clingo before, and i agree it is a nice solution as well

I just bought a clingo right after I read this thread. And its awesome. Check out the youtube videos. The vibrant really sticks on harder than your crazy ex gf lol or a dog

Mine is not a universal mount but one just for the vibrant. I have a huge extended battery on my vibrant. Since there was nothing available, I made a custom holster out of kydex that fits it like a glove, access to all buttons, speaker and camera lens (for times i want to film my bicyling). Impossible for it to pop out. You physically have to unclip it out of the holster to release it. I made it with a 1/4" thread on the back so I can use it anywhere you would mount a camera. I made a stand just for it in and my bluetooth keyboard in my van. It can adjust from vertical to horizontal very easily. When i go biking, the holster attaches to the handlebar mount I made. It will also fit any camera tripod.

i bought this hoping to use it as a camera mount for track days with my car.

it was too shaky for my camera but if you just needed a mount for GPS or some other use, this worked very well with my phone in a TPU case. i found it for $12 on amazon

I purchased an Arkon megagrip for mine and was so pleased I ended up getting 2 more... 1 for my wife and 1 to use at work. It may have bulky pads on the side to hold it, but I know it will never let go unless I hit the release button. Perfect function and easy access to everything. Vent mounted in my car, dash mounted at work.

Same sentiment here. The mount feels solid there is no wobble when im using it and it holds the Vibrant beautifully. Thank you for a solid find.

That looks interesting, but I'm thinking you'd be SOL with that bad boy and a headunit like mine.
I use one of these and it works perfect:

I'm in for one! but question. do i have to take out the cd in order to put this in?

no sir, you can keep whatever CD is in

I bought a Soundgate M2 mount from Amazon. Small footprint, solid and no wobble.
You do have to attach a tape on the back of the case to mount it so might not be for everyone.
You can do a search on youtube for sample installs.

Mine showed up in the mail today. Simply a great mount, Thanks for the tip!

today i bought a universal mount from rocketfish. the bicycle and car mount. i think i'm going to like this thing. the arm itself looks like what turbosix has, but it has the mount itself like what most universals have with the padded sides and the legs at the bottom.
what i really like about this is that i do NOT have to take off my silicone cover when i put the phone in a landscape position. it barely fits the device when it is extended all the way. and i can have it oriented so that i can take pictures with it when i want.

I just got the offiical Samsung Vehicle Navigation Mount Car Kit
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Vehic...QL1FII&s=merchant-items&qid=1298670628&sr=1-1
Cost was $34.11 after activating the 10% special offer code listed on the Amazon link above. While I was concerned about comments that the audio out did not work... it works PERFECTLY on my Vibrant running Froyo 2.2 You have to read the short instructions, OK so some of us don't like to "read" and "follow" written instructions, which tells you to download the Samsung Car/Home app... make sure you get the newest version of the app which supports Froyo... and when you run the app you have to touch the speaker icon to disable the internal speaker which then enables the audio output from the headphone jack on the Car cradle... a little confusing at first BUT it is a great mount AND the app works fine also... highly recomended!

Did a video of the mount in case anyone else is still doubting this mount.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBuGj5-sQl8
The mount is simply amazing. It's all you need.

I have the same Rocketfish mount and it's pretty impressive. I use this bodyglove case and I don't have any problems putting it in the mount. The suction cup has NEVER come loose from my windshield - winter or summer - and the phone sits solid. Plus I like the ease of switching the mount from landscape to horizontal.
But after watching the Clingo video, I'm already considering buying one.

Damn. I want one and they are all out everywhere

Soundgate M2 installed and working great.

Hey guys,
After thinking of what type of mount I wanted, at a reasonable price to start, I ordered the M2 from Amazon. $10 can't be beat right now, except maybe by this frankensteined holder.
The main reason I need something other than the Verizon standard dock is because the phone is in a case.
So here are a few pictures of it:

Folded away its near invisible.
Standing up and ready for action.
The tiny nub on the back of my case.
Its very flush, so I can't even feel it in my pocket.
Phone attached. I did not supertighten the swiveling arms, so it can move just a bit. Gravity lets it rest on the dash and friction keeps it in place. And because I can adjust it a bit I can change the tilt based on glare.
I can rotate it both left and right 90 degrees. So I can charge if I need to.
Or have it stand up.
And here is the finished product. Perfect place in the line of sight too.
I just today saw the Proclip and if this does not work out I may look into that, but it seems so much more expensive for relatively little extra benefit.

I have the SG2, also. I really like it because it doesn't move at all. Just be sure to tighten the screws every 6 months or so. They back out a hair. I have three(used three different cars at one point) and I have used it with three different phones also. TP2, D2, and now the TB. I actually like your idea of turning it around to face the opposite direction because it seems to look better. I may try that. Great for watching CFB while on the road.

Double stick tape. But I did not use the one that came with the mount, I used some 3M control adhesive strips, so that I can remove them with no blemish. It is incredibly solid when mounted.
After a few days now these are my new observations:
The adhesive on the phone nub is not as strong. Or maybe its the soft feel texture of my case, but the nub fell off. So I superglued it back on with a small modification. I put it with the nub upwards, so I can just slide it into the holder and not have to twist it left/right.
I noticed the holder circle nub blocker could be removed, as it has a seam, effectively letting you use it as a slide holder only, but after a bit of prying it won't budge, so I assume its glued on. That's why I glued the phone nub upwards instead.
Works wonders now. And holy crap navigation by google is awesome. Never had a smartphone before, only a Tom Tom, and that thing is excellent. GPS acquires instantly and has no issues. It acquires initially much faster if I am moving, rather than standing still. I need to find a guide on how to use Navigation, and a good car dock app.

For navigation:
Push and hold search
Speak "Navigate to" (Address) or (Name, like "Pizza Hut")
You can even use general places if you just want a quick route to a general area, like "Navigate To Boston, MA" will give you a route to the heart of Boston. Once you get closer, you could just give it a more exact location. This is handy for long trips that you know you will be stopping at least once.
The Google car dock app is nice, or you may prefer the HTC Car dock.

Drop $30 on the verizon car dock for the TB, it works great, charges your phone and automatically launches your phone in to DOCKED mode which will allow you all types of things once you get to tinkerin'.
It seems logical to go cheaper but honestly once you start purchasing things for this phone you will quickly realize you may as well drop the dimes for the right stuff in stead of trying to find a cheaper solution. The cheaper solution never works as nicely as the OEM. of course

That's all well and good if you're using your phone naked, but for those of us who use cases, it's a no-go.

Right. I looked into those docks, but none of them work with cases. And I don't want a windshield mounted dock, as the windshield/dashboard angle is such that it does not work well. I tried with a dock for my previous phone, as well as my Tom Tom.
So while the dock may work for him, it certainly does not fit everyone's needs.

bicycle mount for my s3

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 really like this one!
I really like this one.

Hope you liked it!

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.

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

Here's the arkon SM032 on my Yamaha FZ6:

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

thanks guys and especially thanks to Shady Gambino for the photos.
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.
thanks again

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

The thing I like the most is the place it's mounted in the frame of the bike, it stays more ptrotected.
Hope you liked it!

it has a goos size to storage other things than your cellphone. High quality fabrics and colors. i can travel in the bike with the GPS or other cellphone fuctions.

If anyone is still looking for a bicycle mount, today's groupon deal is pretty sweet.

I have a couple of these and for the most part like them. I fear they may break easy and find that my phone gets covered in dust when I ride rail trails.
I almost forgot accessing the home button while the phone is in the mount is all but impossible hi a lot dremel work should sole the problem.

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.

Hope this helps people!
