Arkon Car holder

This one seems like a universal holder

I have one that I used for my iPhone, the Captivate fits in it fine. I'm waiting on a vent holder and windshield attachment combo from Amazon (backordered).

I got that one today. Looks to be very good so far. It is still in stock and not on backorder. Here are a couple of pictures of it in the windshield mounting. I haven't driven around with it, or tried mouting it off the dash or the vents, but it feels like it's going to hold on to the phone quite well the way I have it right now.

Thanks for the pictures Rajendra82. I got an email from Amazon that said my order came in sooner than their estimate of 3 weeks (I think they just do that to cover their asses on items they don't have immediate stock on). Should be getting it tomorrow!

btw, you can rotate it to landscape if you want.

Clingo car mount

I have just received my clingo windscreen mount, and my first impressions are good. It needs pushing onto the windscreen pretty hard to get it to stick on, but once on it seems secure.
I had my phone on it and again you press it on but it wouldn't come off without pulling it off which is a good thing.
It doesn't work with a case on the phone, but without it it works pretty well and you can move it to any position you like.
Any questions on this then i'll try to answer what you need.

Can we see pics?

i used to have a clingo but it used to get dust and other particles on it too quickly which meant i had to wash it often which then became a hassle because id be all ready to out, jump in the car and my phone would barely stick or it fell when i hit a speedbump and obviously im not going to turn back just to give the holder a wash...so for the remainder of the trip the holder is useless, it works as good as new when you wash and leave it to dry i just dont want to have to get into a routine of washing my phone holder...its been sitting in my glove box for a few months now lmao
ive been using the Arkon Mobile Grip Mini Windshield Mount, works well and isnt an eye sore i really like it

apparently you shouldnt leave the clingo mount in the sun for too long either, i didnt use my clingo for long enough to go through any real hot situations but i did find this on google
http://jamoi.co.uk/temp/nokia5230clingo.jpg

i found that the clingo mount left sticky crap on my phone after a while of it being on there(it seemed that the hotter the phone got, the more crap it left behind), it didn't start doing this until about 2 weeks after purchasing.
i returned it and got one similar to the above - exogear exomount - its a great product.

use to have a clingo to is was ok but not that great
this is 100000 times better http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/Exogear...-iPhone-GPS-Android-Blackberry-/140746791937?
using it for 1.5 year now best mount ever

Something interesting I discovered last week... Dash mount cradle

If you have an OtterBox Commuter on your One, and a spare dash mount cradle for a Garmin Nuvi GPS(mine was a 205, I think...), your phone will snap into the cradle like it was MADE FOR IT.
I discovered this because my Nuvi died, and after I took it out of the cradle, I was thinking to myself, "this doesn't look that much wider than my One...". And sho-nuff, the One snapped right in.
Perfect for using it for Google Maps, but also just about anything else hands-free, and a perfect dash-cam if I ever get pulled over by some crooked cop! Enjoy!

can you order the mount separate? I've been looking for a dash cam mount, but most of the universal ones are too bulky and I feel like they'd "un-class" the interior of my car haha.

Here you go dude, found it on Amazon in 15 seconds!

I'm telling you guys, it's fantastic. I'm getting a UAG case in a couple days, anxious to see if it fits that, as well.

This mount below also works great with cases. I have a commuter case and a dodge ram so dash is long and windshield to far away to use short mount like OP listed.

Ya its $20 bucks, could prolly find cheaper elsewhere but it is very sturdy, not a cheesy cheapy!!

I just tried it out and you're right! It fits perfectly! Thanks for the tip!

I use RAM mounts and their x grip cradle for my phones. Very stable even during 1g cornering forces on track days.

Intek Car Mount (updated with review and pics)

I just ordered one of these universal clip style mounts. I get my N5 tomorrow and the mount on Tuesday. I'll let you guys know how well it works.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EYNRJOE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Update: Here's an overview of the mount and my thoughts:
My first impressions are good. Good enough that, for about 11 dollars, I ordered a second one just now.
It mounts to smooth surfaces via a very grippy suction cup. It has some sort of sticky coating on the rubber. Once it's stuck it's not going to come off very easily. The phone itself is held by a giant spring-loaded clip, which has a nice amount of tension.
(excuse the quality of my GNex camera )

All the ports and buttons are still accessible while mounted.
I'm using it in conjunction with a Spigen Slim Armor case. The angled edges of the case fit the clamp very nicely.
There's a swiveling ball-joint on the back that lets you position it how you please. You can even tilt it far enough so you can use the camera without it being blocked.
How it looks in landscape
Overall, it's a pretty good mount for the price. It is all plastic, though. So it might wear out or break over time, but it's so cheap that replacing it won't be a big deal. As a cheap universal mount, I recommend it. :good:

Them type thing I found wobble around a lot, hope it OK for you though

Here's hoping.
It was cheap enough to give it a try.

I received the mount today. Just updated my original post with a quick review.

Car phone holder for Mi Max 2

Hi there,
Considering the huge size of the phone, not all car phone holder work with it.
I bought this one from AliExpress:

Cobao brand, around $6, no problem at all, it's big enough for the Mi Max 2, even with a case. I'm using a very slim case, but there is plenty of room for a regular case.
I only buy holders that can "grab" the vent with a hook and a spring, those are very stable, so I didn't consider other options.
You can find it here (not sure if AliExpress store links works for long but just in case): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cob...Iphone-6-Plus-5s-For-Samsung/32714737459.html

Thanks for posting the tip!
I ordered one like that. This brand "Cobao" makes some really funky accessories. Even phone holders to fit into car CD drives.
I never used a mount that grabs the vent. Interesting concept. I'm always concerned the mount slips off.
Already had one mount that slipped off the mount, breaking my phone screen when it dropped on the shift stick

Another Option
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A2AEEGE/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I picked one of these up a while back. It's big enough for the Mi Max 2, but a little too big for smaller phones. Depending on the car and who rides shotgun, it may be a good idea to grab a drill, some bolts, rubber washers, a sharpie, and a screwdriver to mount it properly.
I drive a tiny 97 Corolla, so the back seat was nonexistent to fit this in its intended position. I put it right through an aluminum plate used for supporting an optional "premium" stereo. It was premium for 97, I guess. Now head units are so proprietary that a phone is the best you can do for music in most cases.

Get the Baesues Gravity Lock Holders. They work great even on bumpy terrain unlike magnetic holders but still allow popin/popout usage.
