found a really good car mount for the xoom from Amazon ; well built, super stable, strong suction, easy to take off.
i drive a 08 subaru wrx so u know the ride is harsh and bumpy. that being said the mount has never fallen off with the relatively, big and heavy xoom on it.
im also using the COPILOT nav app from the market. full gps and mapping without the use of data. Best 4 bux i ever invested.
here's the amazon link

I'm wondering whether you've had any viewability problems with that kind of setup? Both on the road and on the Xoom screen itself?

Dude!! Be very careful with this thing, I bought this after your post, and I've had it for 20 mins and it's dropped my Xoom twice already. Don't mean to be like that, but unless you want your $600 tablet busted up, I would highly recommend you take caution with this thing. Great in theory, worthless in practice.

Weird. Been using mines for the past two weeks and no drops. I also drive with a heavy foot on my gas at times in my wrx and still no drops

I think here in Wisc I'd get pulled over with that. It looks to obstruct the view of the road just a bit too much.
And in my Jeep I'd have no luck of getting it that close to the dash.
Cool find though! I still gotta get some metal and make me my mount lol

I would keep an eye on that suction cup too. I had a mount like that for my phone that used the exact same arm and after a couple of months the cup wouldn't stick to the windshield anymore. The lever on the suction cup broke and wouldn't keep the rubber against the window. It couldn't handle the pressure on it and that was only a phone being held up.

Ill keep an eye on it thanks. I take mines in and out of my windshield about twice a day (keeps those thieves away) and haven't noticed a change in suction. Since the Cali summer heat is approaching I would like to see how well this thing holds up.

I got mine in the mail today. I drove around for an hour with it and am satisfied. I have a scion TC with tein coilovers, so the ride is anything but smooth, and the mount holds up well. It jiggles some from the weight of the xoom so I find it helps to mount it low on the windshield and let the device rest partly on the dash to help support it. My cars windshield has an odd angle to it so the mounting process is a tad awkward but once you get it on it definitely stays there. Also noting the mount works with the incipio silicrylic case.

No much going on in these forums so I decided to share this with you guys for fun.
I never had good luck with car mounts in the past especially with my Vibrant. The two ones I did purchased were flawed, one fit the phone so tight that I thought it was going to damage it and the other one hung from the window with suction cups and was always falling off. Needless to say they were both a pain in the ass!
On my commute home I like to listen to the TNT podcast or watch if possible, so I found and inexpensive solution that is ghetto but effective. I used some 3m frame hangers found at any walmart. It fits perfectly snug with my seidio active case. Here are some pics.
speedometers are overrated anyhow. .
isn't $3 kinda expensive for 2 hooks?

not really, they are 3m "top of the line". No seriously, it works great.
when you mount the phone on, they kinda look like two little hands with their thumbs sticking out.

Haha If there was a case made from wood that would be awesome. However a case that looks like wood would be fine too.
Just out of curiosity, why the attachment to wood?
Are you a lumberjack or something?

Wood is typically considered desirable because anything that needs to be fashioned for a particular design usually requires it to be hand-crafted, as opposed to off an assembly line.
To answer your question, no, I've not seen any SGII wooden cases. I know a few existed for the iphone and ipad.
I would say business opportunity, but not sure how well they would work, either they would have to be pretty thick, or reinforced with some metal or something. Guess you could make some steampunk/fantasy type thing...
I would like to see a faraday case to go with my tinfoil hat after all the 'preppers' I have lately. Those people are clown shoes.

There are a few manufacturers making cellphone case's from wood (not the plastic ones with wooden skins on them). Most of them are for apple products. I have found a few for samsung epic 4g touch also. A few are real wood some are wood look alikes.
I haven't tried / tested them, so i am not vouching for anyone. If anyone has used wooden cases please quote your experience.

Bike Mount
This is the mount I use on my motorcycle. It is designed to fit the phone with the Seidio Active Case with kickstand. They have other models for other cases as well and they also have models that are designed for just the phone without a case. The mount is excellent and I have no complaints whatsoever with it. I also had one of these mounts for my previous phone as well. Never had any problems.

Look into the Rokbed by Rokform. Should be coming out soon and the mount is very very good. The Kraken is nice, but isn't very solid. If you're doing some hardcore riding there is a chance it could fall out or shake too much.

looks awesome now that its out! Problem is, case is 45$ and the bike mount is 69! Kind of pricey ;/
Also on the search for a bike mount.
One concern I've heard regarding the Rokform is that it's not at all waterproof. There are so many open areas that could potentially allow water to destroy your phone! And let's face it, if you're biking, you're probably going to encounter water. That (along with the insanely high price) is a definite deal breaker for me.
The Kraken at least has port covers.
I've been looking at the Ultimate Addons waterproof case on Amazon UK which comes with various handlebar mounts. It's sold through buybits UK as well.
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B009YU7IMA/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1363340290&sr=8-3&pi=SL75
I don't think it's fully submersible waterproof but looks fine to use in a quick downpour.
It's just a little big for me for a full time case and I can't justify getting one just as a spare for the motorbike when my tank bag has a clear section for phones.

Hey everyone I recently received my SupCase Slim Fit Folio case and am pretty impressed. It isn't like super high quality leather but for the price it's pretty much what you would expect. I have the one with the elastic hand strap on the back and also the stylus holder. I really like being able to use the Nexus 7 in bed when laying down, which is where I spend most of my time using the tablet.
The folio features work as advertised and is pretty sturdy. It really is the generic folio we see for every tablet, but that's not a bad thing because everything seems works pretty well. You can actually buy this without the hand strap or with a hand strap and free stylus holder.
Keep in mind though, anyone using the LMT Launcher or something similar may not be able to use it with the case on because the edges of the case go onto the bezels. Also, just so you guys know, I did receive this product from SupCase prior to the release date since I review these products on YouTube.
If you have any questions just let me know!

I bought this case via Amazon for a ridiculously cheap $6. It's now $13 so I just got lucky. The Supcase is really nice. Has a high quality look and feel, fits tight and elegantly, and works perfectly. The magnetic auto on off is very quick and flawless. I haven't tested it with wireless charging but instructions said it won't work while device is inside the case. I really like this case nevertheless!
