I have been using this for about a week now and I am in love. The arm piece is just a little long bit it mounts perfectly to the bike and doesn't move.
I now have my phone mounted with my its protective gel case for my speakerphone listening pleasure while I ride.

Which model is this, and on what type of bike are you mounting it? I've been looking for a solid bike mount.
Here are a few more pictures to get a view of the bike and how it's mounted.

The bike is a hybrid mount road bike that I use for a 6 mile (each way 5 day a week commute). I use the phone as a speaker for music and GPS when needed. The mount has three types of prongs that re of different length depending on the size of your device. The mount is originally made for a motorcycle but the base is for a bicycle. I use the mount with my casemate case and it fits snuggley. I bought it from Amazon for $41.27, which I think is a steal considering that I could fit all types of device on believe it will last at least two to three years with regular use based on the strength of the material. You can easily take the mount and the arm off the bike so that it wont be easily stolen and you have to screw the based on to your bike.
If you do happen to buy one the instructions are not very clear, but the screws go through the bottom of the holder and the nuts though the top.
Well worth the money in my opinion. You can even buy other bases that will go in your car or on other bikes or other areas.
Very happy with this...

25 bucks from Gomadic.com. It clamps to the handlebars nicely and is very secure. The holder holds the phone very very securely too i could barely pull it out of there if i really wanted to. Its very adjustable and swivels for horizontal and vertical placement.
Took it for a test ride today for about a half hour hit the highway and at 120 the thing was solid! Wasnt gonna budge. Got home and it was still solid and didnt loosen up or anything. Not bad for 25 bucks.
Also got a vent mount for my car so i can take the holder from bike to car by just snapping it on and off.
I'll post some pics of that tomorrow in "the perfect car mount" thread.

Nice! Thumbs up!
That's pretty cool. I might get this for my mountain bike: http://www.gomadic.com/samsung-galaxy-s-handlebar-holder.html
Thanks for pointing this out. After reading your post I put one of these on my Christmas wish list and I got one this past weekend Now I need to go get the arm for the windshield mount and I'll be all set no matter how I'm getting around
WTF DUDE YOU JACKED MY THREAD TITLE!!!!1!!
jk. looks pretty good. now that my CAR has the "PERFECT" mount, i may consider something like this for when it gets warm enough for motorcycling in the fair state of ct.
I finally found a great solution for mounting my Evo on my motorcycle for GPS and musical entertainment!
Got a custom molded cradle that holds my phone with its protective case as well from here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SlipGrip-RAM-HOL-Holder-Sprint-HTC-EVO-4G-Phone-Case-On-/400195182898
I found several other options, but this one seemed to be the most secure. Also lots of other mounts would have required that I remove my phone from it's case each time I wanted to mount it, a total pain in the rear.
That mates up to this Ram Mount:

I then installed a 12v outlet and ran a headphone extension under my tank and out under my seat. I use this instead of Bluetooth with my Etymotic ER-6i headphones because they also protect my hearing from road noise while on a long ride. One could just as easily use this setup with Bluetooth headphones as well.

So now I have this..

Looks good. I've been contemplating something similar but I'm terrified it will slingshot out of the holder on a twisty or something.
For now I think I'm going to go with a jacket pocket that zips and a bluetooth helmet setup.

The riding pic there is me on the Dragon with it mounted. It doesn't get more twisty than that!
I did a 430 mile run that included Cherohala Skyway, Tail of the Dragon and then back down 28 though Highlands, NC with no issues at all.
For those interested, this is all from The Tail of the Dragon:

Thats a great mount. Nice job! I just recently did something similar for my cruiser, except i mounted a spare otterbox belt clip to the mount on my bike that way i can pop the phone into the cradle otterbox defender and all.
looks good!
I made mine with a stiff rubber case, some pieces for a bicycle rack and zip ties. I have been on some gnarly roads and it hasn't even come close to popping out. Though it did screw with my screen protector
Have been using this mount for a little over a week and can say that it is awesome. The thing I like the most is the mount. It is sticky and mounts to almost any surface, even the rounded portion of my dash. It does get dirty and needs to have some water run over it every once in a while to clean it off. The part that holds the phone is hard to use one handed, but holds the phone really well. It opens up to hold any phone and mostgps units. I picked this up on amazon for just under 20 bucks.

I guess this is the mount?

For the price it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I should be getting it tomorrow.

Does the mount show in any part of the camera\video view?
Just tried it. The mount does not show up on the screen when taking video or pics.

I got the mount on Saturday. I think it works pretty well for what it was worth. It definitely requires two hands to take in and out. It seems to hold pretty solid on the dash.
Sorry the pictures aren't that great. They were taken with my Thunderbolt.
just wanted to add I have this mount and have been using it with no problems. I also have a nook tablet that I put the suction cup on the back of and clip to the headrest to let my daughter watch movies for long trips. Its very versitile.
Just tossed one of these in favor of the Samsung mount. Much easier to work with.
Bad experience!
Bad experience!
I bought this car mount 32 days ago & It's already broken!!
I used it in my car for a Galaxy S2 device with a sunlight protector (as was recommended on exogear's site).
For the record, I'v been known for my gentle treatment for all of my things, in particular, the technological one's.
The damage was a broken grip (the one that holds the cell-phone), just near the red rubber.
Be careful guys\ladies - waste of 30$.
Hi,
There's this TV commercial during the Olympics for the Galaxy S III (the one with David Beckham), where you can see a bike mount:

Thanks!

Am going with a Trident Kraken case and the bike clip. While I'm sure the Samsung bike clip is nice (if it actually exists), the Trident video shows an iPhone surviving some light trail riding when connected to the handle bar of a dirt bike. That's a bunch more vibration than it'll see on either my road or mountain bike so I am pretty confident that the phone will stay on the mount.
If not then the Kraken case ought to keep it safe when it falls and hits the road/dirt....
The Kraken looks interesting indeed... It would probably be safer than the original Samsung one, especially when riding in the forest with my cross-country bike...
perfect bike mount
Ok so after seeing this and searching and searching i found the perfect bike mount (not the one pictured on first post). I did however find the one pictured and it was at a decent price but looked to generic and unsafe. It was secured by side arms and rubber bands. The holster i found actually clips the phone and is very well priced @ $6.99 on ebay. they wont let me post links so if you want do an ebay search for "Bike Bicycle Mount Holder Cradle Stand Kit for Samsung Galaxy S III 3 S3 SIII"
will post pics

I have this one, and have tried it a few times. The mount is very cheap, but it's good. The phone feels pretty safe when mounted. So go for this one.
Hi all,
Just wondering what people recommend for a decent mount for an evo lte? Since the power chord is on the side, I'd probably prefer something that will let me mount the phone sideways so that the chord is handing straight down, rather then hanging off the side. I don't care about the phone auto-switching into car/navigation mode. I just want something that makes the phone accessible and visible and that preferably doesn't block the speaker on the phone either.
Any suggestions?
I got a wal mart one that isn't suction cup it sits on the dash and is very good and is a universal one I'll post pics in the am. It was $20 and is pretty sturdy. Like I said I'll post pics in the morning of my ltevo in it. I drove from mid TN to fort Knox with it in it and had no issues at all. It doesn't slide around or move the slightest bit it has like some type of rubbery plastic on the under side that grips the dash and even when I take it off I have mild difficulty because it holds so well.

I've had good luck with mounts by Arkon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E5W3D4
I went with that one - had it for a couple of days now and i'm pretty happy with it. The only minor complaint I had is the screw you turn to tighten the clamp blocks the screen a little bit on my radio, but only a small amount. And i guess if you don't have a cd player, this would also be a big negative

Good and EVO suggested one by proclip for a vehicle specific mount for your EVO LTE
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
The mounts from pro-clip do look pretty nice. Although they are also pretty pricey since it starts at $65 once you include the vehicle mount. On the other hand, having a phone mount that's specifically made for both your car and your phone is really nice. I might have considered getting one since it would be nice having a phone mount that you can just slide the phone in and out of, rather then always having to tighten some grips and then loose them to remove the phone.
If HTC ever gets off their butts and makes an EVO LTE specific mount they are pretty sweet. I picked a couple up for my EVO 3D and was quite impressed. They aren't vehicle specific though.
