Hi, I'm looking for a bike mount for my new Galaxy S2. There isn't much of it on ebay and I would prefer one with with some kind of weather/dust proofing for the phone.

No protection though...

a bit bulky, but provides weather protection:

is this any good?
Velotrac
I'm looking for a bike holder for the phone too, together with a decent app to track performance and routes etc too if anyone can recommend any?
I too want a holder which will keep the dust and dirt off, but I also want to be able to use the touchscreen through the case/holder. I found this http://www.velotrac.com/, but I'm still looking.....

Use endomondo for social/track performance.
If you don't mind the social features, you might try cardiotrainer IMHO is the best
You can also try Run.GPS
Hi,
I've got one if these...seems fine to me

I've ordered pretty much the same mount. Can't edit to test it out on my road bike. That's going to be a challenging you tube video.

I know, it's not an official bike mount, but I have this for all-purpose holder.
And its really holding quite good.
I use it on my desk, in the car and sometimes holding my compact camera on a pole.
I bought it on e-bay (slight cheaper than from them).

I'm looking for a bicycle holder that is waterproof, has a firm grip on my Galaxy SII which has an extended battery (this one), and that optionally opens easily for touch-screen use (might be far-fetched already).
It needs a very very tight grip, so I can also use it on scooter/motorcycle on very bumpy roads...
Most interesting so far is this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004Q4Q6QS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=stdscaba-21
I think the extended battery will fit and it won't shake off my steering wheel.
Any other suggestions?
I bought that mount from Amazon as I was also looking for a waterproof bike mount. It was absolute rubish and I returned it for a refund. About 3 times too big, just completely not designed for the SGS2.
You could get a baby seat for it and strap it in the back?

No its not. I bought that dealextreme mount and don't recommend it. It snaps on quite tightly to the S2 screen and could cause scratches (maybe if you have a screen protector it will be OK).
However I have this one from utimate addons and its very good.

The downside is the battery will only last for rides up to +/- 1.5 hours. so you'll need a modified charging cable and an external battery.
Got a TPU case on my phone and love it. Is there a desktop charger other than the seidio one that could fit it?
Just use a USB cord with a case with a prop, works great

I got a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-II-I9100-ZENIS-DESKTOP-DOCK-CHARGER-CRADLE-/220883609072?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270865448058%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5859734319996833550
and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.
Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Someone just posted a review of the RND Power Solutions dock in this forum.

Looks like his LTE phone with a thin case was a tight fit, so this may not be what you are looking for :-(

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..
That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

Has any of you bought from 4u-mobi??
Galaxy Nexus-Tapatalk
I finally got the charging dock from 4u-mobi and can confirm that the GSM model with a casemate barely there case will fit..
I also got a s-curve TPU case, that fit this dock as well....
In both combinations you need to take off the insert
what about the clingo desktop stand. i;ve been looking at getting a universal desktop dock so that i can use it with a case and future phones.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.
Anyone try any of these car docks? http://www.osomount.com
Let me know what you think of them or recommend a better one.

I dont have that one but Ive used an exomount (LINK)
and it works pretty good for the price. Hopefully others can chime in on the osomount which I would guess is the same concept but maybe different manufacturer?
I'm currently using a Mountek nGroove Mount (LINK).
It's a CD slot mount which works perfectly in my car and holds my Nexus well. The only thing I had to do was shave off some of the bottom plastic to allow the charging port to be open enough to allow a charger.

Good afternoon
I live in the UK and I'm wondering if you could recommend a nice case, slim-ish with easy access to the s-pen.
I have a book case type but finding it a bit annoying...

Use a UK website like mobilefun.co.uk and whaever they sell, they ship from UK. Also, learn how to fliter results on fleabay.
I can vouch for these, I have two.

One quick question - the pictures of this with the SGN in semi-horizontal position show the table with the screen upside down. Can you flip the SGN so that the screen is the right way and still be able to get the s-pen out ? Sorry - stupid question, I know, but I think this is exactly the case I'm looking for. I need something that can be (almost) horizontal and still be able to plug the charger in at the bottom.
Thanks !

The orientation is with the bottom of the tablet to the hinge of the case. As far as charging. No problem with case open. With case closed Ive taken a scalpel and cut a small slit to allow the power connector access. No biggie.

Thanks, bocosrs. Sorry to be a dummy, but does that mean that, if you have it lying semi-flat, the screen and whole tablet is upside down with the power connector at the 'top'? I really like this case, but have my sgn on my desk charging all day and want it lying flatish. It's not much good if that means it has to be upside down.
Good idea about the scalpel, btw.
Thanks again.

Only if you have the "smart cover" folded like shown in the picture. Otherwise just open like a book and lie flat. Also dont forget that even if the tablet is upside down the orientation sensor will flip the image.

Okay, in this topic I wanna show you guys what I made....
Idea: a wireless charging dock for n5 that sits in the cup holder of my car
After a first attempt, that worked but didnt really look pretty, I decided to 3d print the dock. Problem: I dont own a 3d printer... so I was looking for a 3d printing service on the internet and found makexyz.com. I contacted a guy there, he was really helpful and 3d printed the dock for me. I had to split the dock into 2 parts, but that was no problem. Here the 3d models on sketchfab:
holder: https://sketchfab.com/show/d6ca0a0aee904e39b4d48ff1b720bcb7
base that goes into the cupholder: https://sketchfab.com/show/42dc408f78764a40bc90c66fc42ec61a
Here is the wireless charger I stole the electronics from: http://www.ebay.de/itm/161096854835
Today the parts arrived and I could finally put them together... pics attached
and a short video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrlEOgxBo_M
edit:
- costed about 22€ to print it
- the dimensions of the holder part are for a n5 with a spigen ultra fit case on
edit #2:
- stl files: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36125051/STLFiles.rar
please note: dimensions for n5 with spigen ultra fit case, the cup holder dimensions are for a seat leon 5f... most probably works with the most VWs, Seats and Skodas
- to print the holder.stl u will need to use support material
- my parts were printed using black ABS plastic
How much did the 3D printed holder cost?
This is very slick - but I must ask, how on earth did you know the dimensions of the wireless charging PCB? I'm guessing you got the charger before hand?
I may do something very similar using some sort of clip mount rather than the cup holder base. Very classy though. I like this a lot.
