Anybody found a good bag or sleeve for the LapDock? The ones I see for a netbook are to shallow.

I bought a Targus 13" netbook carrying bag that works pretty well. It's a snug fit, but not too bad. I have all my kit with me in it, a bluetooth mouse, lapdock, lapdock charge cable, USB sync cable, pair of headphones, and my DS
EDIT: sorry, wrong size. THis is what I got: http://www.frys.com/product/5937774 I know not really what you were looking for, but if you get a 13" netbook sleeve it would probably fit just fine. Damn, I spend $35 on mine haha.
Nice find. I saw the same one for a 10" and thought that would be good if it worked.

A car mount is just a car mount, right? How exciting can a car mount get?
I've been using over a dozen car mounts over the years. They all work fine.....initially at least. But all of them have one problem in common. They don't last. Either the flimsy plastic parts start breaking or more likely the suction cup becomes unreliable causing the mount to fall off the windshield at the most inconvenient moments.
I picked the Exomount because I read many good reviews about it but here at last was a car mount with a difference because it claims to do things that other car mounts can only dream about - it can mount on textured surfaces like a grained wood surface or the dimpled surface of a car dash. Many reviewers also claim that it can mount on slightly curved surfaces.
I bit the bullet and got the Exomount. True enough, it is able to do all that it claimed it can do. I had a fun time trying it on all kinds of surfaces. When it comes to actual usage, the Exomount gave me a lot more choices on where to to mount my phone/gps in my car. I no longer have to mount it on my windshield if I don't want to.
The clamping jaws of the Exomount may look a little basic and primitive but it is actually a pretty good feature. It allows me to swap devices easily without the need to make adjustments to the clamping mechanism. It also allows me to mount my phone on it without blocking the camera so I can use my phone as a dash camera if I want to.
Best of all, I have been using it for more than 18 months now and it still works like new. The suction cup has yet to fail me, not even once.
The Exomount is an amazing car mount and I highly recommend it. A more detailed review of the Exomount can be found at Exogear Exomount Universal Car Mount Review.
The Exomount has a limit of up to devices with 5" displays. I have tried it with a few other phones such as a couple of Blackberries, an iPhone 4S as well as my 3.5" Garmin GPS.
My Generic Knockoff
Here's a review for the Generic Knockoff I ordered off of Ebay for $5.99. It arrived yesterday. http://sgoldfein.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/universal-cellphone-automobile-mount/
best car mount ever. i'm getting my second one for my dad
Post your photos and reviews of car mounts for the HTC One.
I picked up one of these. It fits the One really well, it is easy to insert and remove the phone. The suction cup grips my dash really well, there is no way this thing is coming loose. The mount is not too large so it does not take up a lot of space on your dash and it is well made.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the iOttie mount it has over 3000 reviews on amazon.

I used to have that one. A good mount, solid, but too bulky in my opinion. I highly recommend this:

I have one in my car right now. It's awesome. It fits a Note 2 and still works with smaller phones like the One. The one handed removal and the auto closing feature is great to get the phone on the mount quickly.

This is the one I use, I got it on sale when it was around $15 and has served it's purpose well.
Unlike most dash mounts, this one goes into a CD player deck which I hardly use for CD's anyway. It locks in and it holds pretty secure.
i just bought one of these. it looks nice, but it wont work with a case on your phone. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121120265750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I have tried Iottie, Mountek before. Now I have been using Steelie and all I can say is that Steelie is the best car mount for me. It is really easy to use and it covers very little space on your dashboard or console. No vibration at all and it is really flexible that you can adjust any angle really easily.
I also have the car mount in the OP. It's awesome. I've had it for about two weeks now, and it hasn't budged.
I bought this one from Nokia.I thing this is the perfect car mount for HTC ONE !
Only 17 euro.
Wow I really love that car mount!! Thanks!

Any dock with integrated charger?
So far the only 2 options I saw were the stock dock, which doesn't work for me since I have a cover. and the iBolt, which is somehow universal and flimsy, I had the iBolt dock for my S3 and hated it.
I've use Proclip for years with my Galaxy Nexus. I just picked up a HTC One so I've got one of their mounts on order.

It' the same company that made the official sprint dock for the Evo LTE
I was browsing this a while ago and read about the Kenu Airframe. Ordered it last week. Shipped on monday and arrived today. Probably one of the most solid car mounts I've ever held for that price. Fits great even with a case and fits my circular vent perfectly. Was a bit skeptical because my vent is a bit recessed, but it worked out fine and is pretty damn solid. 5/5.
What a deal
Picked this up while browsing the clearance section in TJMax discount store. Made by "Digimaxx". Only paid $4.00!
I highly suggest the niteize steely also.
Ordered the airframe as well. Gotta agree it is solidly built and is alot smaller than what I imagined. I like how it can hold different devices and has enough pressure and grip so there will be no slipping. Great product and design.
Hello folks-
My Griffin dock finally broke and I'm looking to replace it with a universal car dock that is future proofed by accepting phones with screens up to 5.5 inches. A powered dock would be a huge bonus. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Not a powered option but I've been using an adjustable Brodit holder designed for the iPhone 3GS + case. Fits X, N5, N4 with / without case.
I had been using the Mountek nGroove Snap for almost two years, but the thing they don't tell you in the product description is that the Mountek will compress and destroy the foam protector in your CD Player. When you take it out, your CD Player will look like a Hillbilly's smile.
I just bought a new car, and I didn't want that to happen again. I've always been interested in ProClip's offerings, since they are custom molded to fit your car, but the high price always put me off. For my car, I'd have to shell out 30 bucks for the custom mold and another 50 for the adjustable iOauto Pro Magnetic mount. Also, I couldn't find any posting anywhere that said that the iOauto Pro would hold the Nexus 5 securely without adding the included metal plate. I prefer my Nexus 5 naked.
My solution combines the Mountek nGroove and ProClip that more or less works perfectly with my Nexus 5 (I'll get to the drawback in a second)
Since I already had the nGroove, all I needed to buy was the Custom ProClip mount for my car ($30) and an AMPS ball adapter ($9.95), which I found on Amazon (search for iBOLT AMPS Adapter Plate).
The iBOLT comes with screws that are a little too big for the ProClip mount, so what I did was widen the holes on the ProClip with a power drill until they fit. Since both the iBOLT and ProClip use the AMPS standard, the holes lined up perfectly.
I'm happy with the finished product, although the ball on the iBOLT and the ball of the Mountek have a different texture. This made the Mountek piece sit a little too snug against the iBOLT ball. I'm thinking about sanding down the iBOLT ball until it can click into place.
Thanks for reading!
that looks awesome. id love to see some more pictures of it actually in the car. i might have just found my car clip!
Thanks for the setup. I was looking for a solution to this exactly. BTW you can take that yellow sticker off if you didnt know.
Thought that Proclip mount looked familiar. I have an XV Crosstrek and it looks like you either have an XV or impreza.
