This official Samsung car mount works on multiple phones, not just the S3 unlike the S2 car mount I had which only worked on the S2 and only when not using a case which was a double whammy of a negative for that mount.
Have Samsung learnt the error of their ways and improved this new mount? Let's find out...
This kit comes in 3 parts, the S2 mount comes in 2:

The ball joint clips into this socket while the screw tightens the fit:
Unfortunately Samsung didn't leave room for arm adjustment so the number of ways to point the mount is very limited again, just like the S2 mount, you need to have it quite high up on the windscreen to get decent movement of the head:
Ultimately it still suffers one of the main flaws I found on the S2 dock, lack of adjustment and being aimed at windscreen mounting only as opposed to dashboard discs (see pic below). It's less advanced than the S2 mount because it doesn't have a socket the phone sits into to activate car mode, but if it did it wouldn't work on other phones whereas this one will work on almost any phone that's of compatible width as both side arms retract in and out.
So it's just a car mount that's tough and sturdy in motion, it doesn't vibrate and the suction is very strong but for what it costs I'd much rather recommend the Nokia CR-115 with a bit of DIY to the stock arm padding (remove them and replace with thinner pads) to work on phones as wide as an S3 because you get better movement and a slimmer profile for easier storage. It also costs less than £10 depending on where you shop. I also think it's by far the nicest looking mounts out there and because it's a genuine brand made one, it's good quality too.
Nokia CR-115:
Update:
The modding has started early I was looking at the ball joint and then at the ball joint on the Exomount car holder and realised they looked the same size....
So yeah, now I have a car mount that is sturdy and of excellent build and sticks to almost anything
This was pretty awesome, thanks a lot.

This is my mount I just put into my auto. I didnt like the floor mount one.
I actually used an iPad version but the height of the holder is adjustable. Mine has a tendency to lean to the right if I make a left turn. The mount to the floor\seat is rock solid but the arm itself can twist pretty easily. I have to nudge it between the carseat and the console itself. It does the job though. Replacing my outdated GPS with Google maps is pretty awesome. Plus Google search actually works.
ram mount looks ok, i would like to see how much it bounces though.

I just got mine today and my answer: quite a bit. However, I have 2 cars and the one I tested it in today is a lowered mustang with stiff after market motor mounts and a VERY stiff reinforced frame, so in another car it might not be quite as bad. It does wobble some just from tapping it with my finger while the car isn't running, but its not awful. All that having been said, the car this is going to primarily be used in has a center console that is placed such that I should be able to secure the pole to it using Velcro or something and based on my testing today holding the pole about where I intend to secure it to the center console, it should make the vibration negligible. I will report back once I get it installed tomorrow and let you know how it performs.
If you guys are interested I'll post a picture of it in the car. Since it was temporary I didn't do much bending with the pole and its basically straight which is probably not helping with the vibration (being an 18" long moment arm, versus shorter if it had some bends in it, or possibly sawed off to be shorter)

Unfortunately no one made a mount like that with a base that I liked how it attached to the console in my car which is why I went with the floor mount. I get my DD back from the shop today so we'll see how it works out.

A RAM medium aqua box holds it very snugly and could be secured via a RAM steering stem mount.

Sadly though I can't use a steering stem mount. The hole is only 0.25 and it needs to be atleast 0.50.
That medium aqua box, is it bulky?
Ah, that's too bad, I'm sure you can find somewhere to mount another RAM ball though!
The aqua box is definitely bulkier than a non-waterproof case, but it's not so bulky that it gets in the way while riding even when I tuck behind my windscreen. I'll try to snap a few pictures for you in the next day or two, not positive when I'll have a chance since my bike is in storage at the moment though.

There's a clutch-reservoir attachment that will fit with my Suzuki SV650S, atleast according to their website. So I might go with that solution.
And I would very much appreciate some pictures of your waterproof case. Can you do some photo's where the bike is in full view aswell? Just for the overall comparison between case size and bike size

This list has several configurations with this mount (windsheild suction cup, Ubolt, handlebar mount, etc)
gpscity.com/search/q=universal+pda+mount
When I bought my Droid 2 years ago, I just dropped it in this universal spring loaded mount I was using for my PDA and it worked great.
I am going to order another to have in my car so I won't have to keep moving it back and forth from my bike. I expect to be able to use these mounts for any phone I buy in the foreseeable future (I am waiting on my GN to arrive in the mail right now). You can put whatever type mount you want with it to attach it to the bike or car.
I ride a Honda VFR 750 and do alot of long rides with it.
This will not offer protection from rain, but if it is very light rain, I usually just keep one of those stretchy type plastic kitchen bowl covers that have the elastic cord around the outside. They are made out of the same stuff ziplock bags are made of. The right size will stretch over the entire mount and keep it dry as long as you are not riding in a downpour.
Kind of stinks that none of these mounts (the Verizon one especially) don't have inputs for any of the cables. So you basically have to rip the case off, dock it, then connect everything every time. Make me sad they cant do what Motorola does and build em to work with all of that =(
This might help you sir, try Googling RAM Motorcycle Mount. Still can't post external links.

Does anyone know if the below car mount fits a Samsung note encased in a TPU or nilkin/rock hard case?
I did a measurement of my note in its protective case and found the width is about 85-86mm...so it might be a tight fit, given the maximum width of the arm is 85mm.
Anyone who has bought this mount and has a TPU / Rock / Nilkin case can share his experience would be helpful. Thanks.

I have the car mount (its FANTASTIC BTW). the fit is very tight and I do not think you can leave any case on the device. Aside from a snug fit, you need to snap the power clip in, and it only fits if the device is already snuggly fitted into the mount.

Ok, I got to test this out today.
Firstly, the unit itself is very nice and compact, it does not take up much space at all.
It sticks to the dash extremely well, not only does the bottom part use suction but it is also very sticky. I tried with a fair bit of force to pull it off and it wasn't moving once stuck to the dash.
My Note is in a Nillkin case so is slightly heavier then standard but I placed it on the two little grooves that stick out, and then firmly pushed it back so it stuck in place. I then drove to work (and later back home). The ride is quite bumpy in parts and I deliberately drove quite aggressively in an attempt to make the Note fall out but it didn't budge. I can see the 'stickiness' being lost over time but apparently cleaning it with a wet cloth fixes that so only time will tell I suppose.
So far I am pleased with it.
Cheers for the update.
I've just ordered one from mobilefun.de as they have them at 11,99 yoyos.
Any of you coming from the Streak who purchased the SlipGrip commuter car mount will be interested in knowing the Note will fit into it with a slim case (I'm using the BoxWave).
I mentioned this in an earlier post.

I assume you dont mount your phone in winter
I want something that will hold it in landscape in the centre dash.
So that's basically the middle of the car (centre) and the highest tip (of dboard) but not on the glass. That way viewing is much much better and the holder doesn't leave a circle smudge.
Here's my car:
http://gi179.photobucket.com/groups/w292/HZ85Z050N0/Picture027Small2.jpg
(i want it above the warning lamp button where the multifunction display resides)
Btw, in my city if they see the circle smudge or the holder, they break into your car and look for the gps, which costs me a window to repair and any stolen goods.
EDIT: Posted my review - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582898&page=2
Does anybody here have any experience with these?
I originally planned to buy one for my Incredible but never got around to it. The thing that interests me about these is that they supposedly fit the phone while a case is still on. No pogo charging of course, but not having to take the case off compensates for that in my mind.
Here's their selection for the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/Galaxy-Nexus_c_21957.html
Guess I'll just have to buy one and see then.
if you are using a tpu or any case with a smooth flat back you can check out the clingo mount. thats what im using with the incipio silicrylic works great you dont even see the mount with the phone on and you can use it for your next phone.
It seems like they work well based on the few videos I found. Here's a video of the EVO version, ignore the cheesy music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb3a...DvjVQa1PpcFOK-sVRP7Ikki2KBkd2dR1aFq9dFhq7kZs=

I'm interested in the goose neck holder but I'm a bit skeptical on how their "hard rubber or silicone case" version works. If my rubber or silicone case is smaller and thinner than average, is it going to be loose? If my case is large and in-charge is it going to be difficult to remove and put in?
If anyone can provide a review, I'd love to take a good look at it. They look much better and more secure than the Arkon holder I have. The last thing I want though is something loose or hard to put in.
I'll probably be buying one of the "for Hard Rubber or Silicone Case" ones and will be using it with a Cruzerlite A2 case. I'll post a review when I do.

Awesome. I'll be waiting for that.
Broke down and ordered (gooseneck). I'll give an ETA if they send me a tracking number. Based on reviews of the same mount for other phones, it should be decent.

They look good to me. If I wasn't in the process of doing the touchstone mod & hanging one of those in my car I would probably do this.
It'll probably be here early next week. Expect some pics and my thoughts.
The mount was delivered today.
My first impression is positive. It feels nice and solid.
The suction cup is large and very strong. I tried pulling it off and it didn't budge. I'll have to see how it holds up with extended use.
The goose neck is very sturdy and takes a bit of force to adjust which is good. It means it won't go moving on it's own.
The phone holder fits my Nexus nicely with either my Cruzerlite A2 or Diztronic TPU cases on the phone. The clip holds the phone snugly enough to securely hold it but not so tight that it's hard to remove. There are cut outs for the camera and the speaker on the back (pic below). Where it connects to the goose neck, there is a ball/socket type adjustment which allows it to tilt in all directions.
There's a small flaw in the design near the headphone jack. It's not cut out quite deep enough (can be seen in last pic). I'm sure this could be easily fixed by using a round file to deepen the cutout to where it should to be. This isn't a problem in my case, as I connect to my radio via Bluetooth, but it's something to consider if you need access to it.

The camera is unobstructed by the holder. The suction cup easily gets in the way, but the goose neck can be adjusted to avoid it. This is useful for recording video and time-lapses.
The mount is handy for using the Torque OBD scanner app safely in addition to GPS navigation.
The too shallow head phone jack cut out.
Overall, this is a good mount for the money. Especially if you want the ability to leave your case on. The shipping was very fast from SlipGrip and they offer a variety of other mounting options.
Pros: Fits phone with a case ON, camera cut out, nice suction cup, sturdy goose neck, universal fit.
Cons: Improper cutout for head phone jack.
Ordered some NFC stickers. Gonna put one in the dock and see how it works.

any update on a good car mount for the nexus I know have a rearth case on my Verizon nexus
I use navigation a lot, I currently use a clingo which is great, but the vent mount clips are now loose. Now looking at a dash genie, anyone got any recommendations or review of a dash genie? Thx

and thinking of ticking a nfc chip on it

Only two choices for me - the genuine Samsung job which is supposed to be about £30 ish, or a Brodit pro-clip. I've had these ever since the N95. Great kit, moulded to the phone, active or passive holders. But you have to wait a while for them to release it.
I wonder if the official Samsung one will have a line out like the S2 mount?
How about one with clips for the AC? That's what I'm looking for.
Mobile Fun sells those car dash mounts for a good price. They have an "ultimate pack"
I am giving one away on my site if you are interested check out the link in my sig.

I'm also a Brodit fan. Problem is I am planning to get the Samsung flip cover which has the replacement back. With my GS2 I just take it out of the case to put it in the passive holder but that won't work with the flip cover. I don't think Brodit do a kind of grip holder to attach to their vent attachment which I use.
Looks as though there's no line out on the Samsung one

The last couple of Brodit holders I've had have been very poor quality. The mounts are ok so I've connected third party holders to the mount.
The holder that I linked to is apparently a Samsung one and looks like it will work with a phone in a case
Samsungs original car mount is disappointing without the ports that the s2 & notes car mount have had.

Not 100% what to make sure of the official Samsung car dock.

Some of the sites I've seen show this to be described as a universal adapter, for Galaxy S3 AND other phones, other sites indicates this is designed specifically for the S3, and most don't seem to show a micro usb connection.
What gives? Is this or is this not a specific S3 device?
Yes this time around Samsung has released a generic car mount capable of scoring any Samsung device that covers between 4.7" to 5.3" which is printed in the car mounts box.
:-(
The one shown in the expansys is for s2 or for the note. Do not fall for it as it will not fit for the s3.

I have the Samsung car dock for the s2. It is slightly different- the back hole for the camera is different than that of the pic in the link above for eXpansys. Also the note and gs2 are completely different in size. The one shown in the picture for the expansys website is not adjustable.. at least I can't see any sign of it adjusting.. even the car mount for the s2 is not adjustable for a different device. So it could very well be for the s3
Here is the mount for the s2. Pretty similar but its not the same mount as the one on the expansys link.

That looks like the S2 mount listed here:
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-car-holder-for-galaxy-s-ii-217880/
But I think the S3 mount they have pictured is the Note mount
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-ori...-galaxy-note-5-3-car-charger-included-224728/
Think Samsung have dropped the ball in only providing a universal mount and not one dedicated to the phone. Looks like Im waiting for Brodit.
I will be trying my Exogear exomount when my S3 arrives, its the best universal holder i have had.
What about the Exomount or Osomount?

They should be the best universal holders on the market and they are cheap... AND they'll fit the S3 easily
i have just ordered exomount , i hope there wontt be high vibrations while recording,while driving. + phone has image stabilization , should not be big problem

I have the Spacemount, and it's fantastic. The only thing I would tell you to beware of is excessive heat (like leaving it hooked on the dashboard during a hot summer day). It'll degrade the amount of stick & suction it has, although mine still works well enough.
This Crab SuperGrip is amazingly GRIPPY !
