Hey bicyclist:
Any of you tempted to buy this?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/220900016894?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I was thinking you could Saran Wrap it for good measure.
You could use it as a
-$700 speedometer
-GPS turn by turn
-Texting while riding
Hoping that the whole unit doesn't fall off, let alone the Note falling off by itself.

I have serious concerns about these. They use the same plastics and mounts as the car mounts, several of which I have broken. Its one thing it falling off in a car, but on a bike doing 20mph on concrete? Scary thought
I would love to see what you think about it when you get one!
Otherwise, these seem like a better alternative.
When I had a Desire I used to have this
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bicycle-phone-holder-p14252.htm
And I found a really similar for the Note
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?itemId=120875970274&index=17&nav=SEARCH&nid=48128193136
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-bike-mount-holder-p25473.htm
When I had that one for my Desire it was REALLY stable. Few times I have riden 40km/h+ and on a bumpy tarmac with the phone mounted and it held it perfectly.
Noted by Noting from my Noteful Note
I have the exact same mount, and the note rides my ZX12R, it is stable enough I would say, best bet is zip tie it over just to be safe.

I think I'll buy that Capdase one I linked.

Noted by Noting from my Noteful Note
Krypton, its the exact same one as in the original post, the one on ebay.
For some reason I don't trust that mount on the original post.
Rubber band to attach to handle bar? Only two corners and the opposite side secured of our expensive phone?
I feel it's not gonna last very well during any kind of bumpy riding nor is it gonna stay at fixed position because of that rubber band used to attach to handle bar.
At least the Capdase model I'm looking at has proper mounting. Not so sure about how well the actual phone mount secures our Note considering how wide and thin our phone is.

Folks can anyone recommend a decent car mount for the note? I don't want to use any adhesive or suction cup types since I am scared of those falling off.

I've used a 'breffo spiderpodium' and found it pretty good.cheap and simple
Yeah but the official Samsung one uses a suction cup
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note using Tapatalk
the official samsung units have an amazing suction cup.
I had an official Samsung car dock for my P1000 Tablet, There was no way in hell that thing was ever going to fall off.
even sitting on the windshield in 40degC days (Australian summer), and cool night temp changes didn't move that sucker.
Hell, I had struggles getting it to release when I wanted it to release...
Samsung dont skimp on their kit... its why it costs so much more.
I have a proclipusa car mount. So I recently got the Regular Adjustable Holder with Tilt/Swivel here. You can get Proclipusa holders with the charging ports built-in as well specifically designed for the Note - but I wanted something I can use for future devices if needed. The adjustable holder works with my thin Rearth Ringke Slim case as well. I think I may need to add some extra padding to make it a little more snug and secure feeling. It seems to wobble a bit because the slot is a bit thicker than the Note (crazy thin btw).
I use a PHONEclip, which attaches the G-Note directly to the steering Wheel.
You can find detailed info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22252176&postcount=24
In the same thread also more info about the above mentioned 'breffo spiderpodium'
Went on Amazon, spiderpodium reviews were mixed, many found it to be very low quality construction.
That steering wheel clip sounds interesting, unfortunately I have a boxwave case on my phone. Probably wont fit.
Are there any US etailers selling the official Samsung one?

hahahaha!!! So true and so unintentionally funny to envision, in mid-air-bag-deployment-to-face-contact! lmao
I can see the coroner's quote now:
"There's a good chance he'd have survived the impact with no more than a contusion and a couple of scrapes, but the force of the air-bag drove his near tablet-sized device clear through his skull and out the back side of his spinal column in what appears to be less time than it takes a humming bird to make a single wing-flap."
hmmm, you have a point there. So it's a choice between convenience or safety, difficult decision...
To answer seriously, I've checked it on my car and I think that it isn't a problem. The PHONEclip is made from a very strong material. So in stead of breaking, I expect it to work like a hinge and simply turn over the top of the steering wheel.
Proclip = Brodit
IMHO
for all my previous and recent smartphones I ever used Proclip holders in my car(s)
The Proclip platform is specific to each car model and the holder(s) are specific to each smartphone. I am using active holders with charging and I am very satisfied with it every time.
No excluding with my newest Samsung Galaxy Note too
I have the Samsung Car mount, and I am very disappointed.
It is a pain to insert the phone in the very tight clips, then you have to slide the usb connector into the phone, an exercise that takes two hands.
Further it does not accomodate even the very thin Samsung flip cover.
It forces the phone into car mode, which requires voice input - which does not work. - at least with my voice. I cannot call 'Nora' it will only find Laura - and I don't have a strong accent. It has no means of understanding what 'Home' means.
And now, after a month, it appears that contacts inside the car unit are flakey - the phone goes crazy when I plug it in.
So great phone, but they screwed up royally on the car mount.
So where can I get this Samsung Car Mount?
Mountek
Mountek has a universal car mount that sits in your CD slot for around $20.

Yeah, I'm a geek with no fashion sense but I'm happy and the Note is always with me, handy, and well protected.
I've got the Seidio active with kickstand case for protection and so I can wear it on my belt.
I run several times a week here in Houston and I sweat like a pig. So I put the note with its case inside a LokSak bag. The Loksak'ed Note goes inside a SPIbelt for workouts so I can use the Zephyr bluetooth heart rate monitor and my Jaybird headphones while I run.
For the car, I've got the X mount from RAM Mounts. It is a snug fit but with a little practice I can get it in and out of the cradle without taking off the case.
For the bicycle / motorcycle I've got the RAM mount Aquabox. The fit is perfect, it is a friction fit in the frame of the aquabox. The aquabox is way too deep but for now I just store my wallet there. Eventually I will try to throw an extended battery there if I can figure out the electrical connection. Touch events don't work through the plastic screen cover but if I hope to cannibalize a spen for a workaround.
Hope this helps some note accessory freaks.
Can you actually see where you're driving in your car with the Note directly in front of you?!
I've got my mount clipped to an air vent, still in reach and doesn't get in the way of my view! Also, your Note won't get fried by the sun on a hot day, instead it'll be cooled by the AC.

It looks bad in the picture but sitting in the car you are much higher and it does not block much view. I'll put it this way, if something is close enough to be obscured from that angle, you're already gonna hit it anyway .

Geez dude, do you go cycling through waterfalls? You could put that mount on a submarine!
Glad to see there's at least a lot of accessory support for the Galaxy Note

Search for "air vent mount carkit" or something like that, they're pretty common. The one I got is a universal one, not specifically to the Note. IMO, much more convenient, because other people can use it too. And you don't have to get rid of it when you get your Note 2

According to my Amazon order history, 4.5" by 7"
Guys, I need your opinion about a magnetic car holder for SGS3.
Is it safe to use the Tetrax Fix magnetic car holder?
I mean, my concern is not only about the phone getting loose due to poor magnetic strenght, but the magnetic field interference with the phone functions.
Has anyone tested it yet?.
It looks pretty cool, as it is very small.
Link:
http://www.amazon.com/Tetrax-Magnetic-SmartPhones-iPhones-Players/dp/B0073X45RQ
Thanks.
I have used them for 6 or 7 months with my Motorola Razr in my car and on my golf trolley.
The system has a magnetic button that fixes to your car with a self adhesive pad, and there is a self adhesive plate to fix to your phone. These come in 3 sizes and I would recommend using the largest due to the weight of the S3
They have worked perfectly well, although my phone has occasionally fallen off the trolley when going over rough ground. I've never had a problem with it in the car.
I am not using it on my S3 because the metal piece that fixes to the phone will not let the S3 sit level on a desk, The Razr has a bulge at the top that I fixed the plate near to, so it was not a problem.
Thanks!
tetrax xway
Hi,
Please consider tetrax xway or fix way of any touch screen device like smgIII.
The x stabilize the unit when using touch screen, tubber for vibration absorption, better magenta strength.
Magnets do no interfere it's a patented opposite pole layout solution, more info here

Thanks for that. The system does look good though, but I don't really want to have a bit stuck on my phone all the time. I'm thinking getting a second battery cover (when they are available!) might be a solution so that I can swap them when needed. Alternatively some kind of quick-snap piece for the phone that the metal part could be stuck to would be quite good.

My main concerns with the Tetrax holders are:
They clip to vent vanes, whish isn't always the most stable mounting solution.
You cannot rotate them to face the driver, which makes them not ideal for use with GPS.

I know about these but I'd rather have one without the big "galaxy SIII" even if it's just for the car and I wouldn't actually see it
I was looking at the Fixway which doesn't clip to the air vent.
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
FWIW, for the past couple of years I've used an alternative magnetic mount solution from krussell - most recently for the last 12 months with my SGS2
Despite some 'spirited' driving, its always remained perfectly secure.
I was worried about the magnetic field, but have had no such problems.
Its by far the best car mount solution I've ever used.
The magnetic disc is stuck wherever you want, and the thin metal plate is stuck to the back of your phone (or as I have done the back of the case)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Krusell-Str.../dp/B000ORXUOM/ref=pd_luc_chashrec_02_01_t_lh
Now that I have my SGS3, I've ordered some cheap painted white self adhesive metal strips to attach to the SGS3 case to use with this magnet.
Ignore the poor 1* review from some plum who blames the product because he tried to use it with an ipod with a platter drive in it!
Watch the weight limitations on the FIX...

I wanted to get the FIX version as well, but the problem is that it only supports 150 grams or 5.25 ounces, and while the SGS3 by itself weight 4.7 ounces, when I add my Otterbox Defender, it brings it up to 7.4 ounces. So I guess the only options for me are GEO (air vent) or step up to the much pricier XWAY....
In search of a vehicle dock that will accommodate the size of the Galaxy S III with a case.
Preferably one that fits in the heating/AC vents, or mounts on the front of your dashboard and not on top of the dashboard. I guess one without the suction cup.
Going to be mainly used for Navigation.
Any suggestions?

Best car holder I've ever had!
Don't know if people just don't know about these or just don't like them. I got mine back in February and used it on my old E4GT and now the S3, I absolutly love it! The key is, for me anyways, getting a TPU case( always use TPU so no biggie there ) take an exacto knife and cut a perfect sized cut out for the tiny magnet. If you do it correctly the looks isn't bad at all( use the small magnet, works fine for me ) and more importantly it wont 'wobble' on the table, lays flat. Sorry don't have any pics of my old setup and haven't cut out my new one yet. Also, nice that we have replaceable back covers in case you're worried about it marring up the back if you want to remove it later.
As far as construction quality, magnet hold strenght both are superb, haven't hadd one inceidentl fall off the holder. Also magent doesn't seem to interfer with wifi or cell at all. NFC I haven't tested yet, but my suggestion would be to mount it towards the top side of the case away from the battery( like were the carrier logo is on the back )
Anyways just my 2 cents, check out youtube they have a couple good reviews of it on there.
http://eshop.tetrax.us/
I can't post pics/links but I followed Lifehacker's guide to making a car mount out of office supplies (site should be easy to find with that information). It works surprisingly well, even with the size of the S3 and the fact that my vehicle's vents aren't perfectly suited for the application. I thought it'd be kind of ghetto but it's hidden while in use and easy to remove and stash away when not in use.
I'll make a thread with pics once I have enough posts.

Take your time and look around. There's plenty of car mounts that will fit this phone with a case.
Seems like most are the suction cup kind
will work for any phone even tablets
Sorry long time forum reader but first time posting. I can't post a link but search "soundgate m2 car mount"
You can probably find them cheaper. Used my for the og dinc for 2 years. I put the disc on my case instead of the phone. But I would have no reservations to put it directly on the phone as the disc is extremely unobtrusive. Just clean the spot you want to mount the arm really well with included wipe or rubbing alcohol. The arm mounts with a 3m adhesive pad and folds almost flush when not in use. Very slick. Put the discs on anything you want to dock to the arm. I forget how much weight it can handle but I saw a tablet being used as well. Sorry tried to upload pictures and after an afternoon of searching the forums on how to do it, i still cant get it. Just google "soundgate m2 car mount" you wont be dissapointed.

ProClip. It is a little more money, but well worth it. I would get the proper mount for your vehicle (vent or side mount) and the adjustable phone mount so you can use it with a case. The also make a clip so you can move the mount from car to car.
Sadly, mine was recently stolen, but they offered me a discount because of my loss.
So I created a ghetto version as a sort of joke in exchange.

Preferably one that fits in the heating/AC vents, or mounts on the front of your dashboard and not on top of the dashboard. I guess one without the suction cup.
Going to be mainly used for Navigation.
Any suggestions?

I use this one and I love it.. http://www.amazon.com/MSW-Exogear-Exomount-Universal-Mount/dp/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342868939&sr=8-1&keywords=exogear+car+mount
Hi there! I am looking for suggestions from the XDA forums for a car mount for the OnePlus One! You guys are pretty knowledgeable so I trust this being left in your hands
Even Universal mounts can be suggested, as there will be other family members using other phones(Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or friends using iPhones).

I have the Koomus as well. It's major flaw is the part that pushes against the top of the CD slot may become loose as you remove the phone.
You can buy clones that attach to your vent or with VHB adhesive for as little as $4 from DX, aliexpress, etc.

you will need a car-specific hilder as well. its a little pricey but totally worth it (for me).
i have one of those for my Nexus 7 Tablet since some years, just works all fine
also used a specific holder for the Galaxy Nexus when I still owned the device.
cheers!
if you have a case, or if you are OK with removing your back cover and throwing a metal plate back there (this is what I did), this one works great!

you just have to tape down the metal plate. I placed mine back there and about a day later I started losing signal...the plate had fallen towards the bottom of the phone and must have been blocking some antennas or something. moved it up, taped it in place, and its been solid and working great since. I use this every day to and from work and anywhere else I go without it ever budging. its so nice not having to clip the phone in.
Search Xiaopimei on Amazon ! Amazing and very cheap !
Xiaopimei is great, I agree
I've been using the Brodit/Proclip (same thing) for about a year now, great stuff. I can highly recommend it
I've ordered

I heard its great, and its pretty cheap, and universal size phone can hook to it.

Brodit for OnePlus One
Remember to buy a Proclip for your specific car to mount on
My experience, over the last 7 years. I swear to always buy Herbert Richter (HR) mounts. (ebay or online German/UK stores)
Extremely durable plastic (don't want your phone to fall). Universal, also use the same mount on my bicycle, in other cars. Mine has now been in use for 5 years now (have 2). I use the universal one and I use the vent holder in the car. Doesn't block the view and in summer gets cooled down because the airco blows cold air on it. Also doesn't damage the phone and really holds it well.
Also very good experience with their customer support.
