Hi,
I bought a universal car holder but it was quite large and crappy looking.
Before buying another I wanted to get suggestions from you guys
I'm not looking for an official dock as I won't be taking my case (Seidio Active) off.
It doesn't need to do anything special, just hold the phone in a desirable location without looking like crap. I'm not opposed to using velcro or similar to stick the mount on the dash. I do not want a windshield mount.
Any suggestions? Links please if you have them.

hey guys. i use my evo every single day as my mp3 player in the car. i have the stereo in cable, and then the charger cable. but i'm always placing the phone on my lap.
i'm looking for a holder that will fit the seidio extended battery + the slim cover I have on. i would prefer it to hold the phone in portrait mode. and more importantly I don't want it to be one of those that goes directly into the charger as my plug is below my cup holder and i need the phone much higher for easy access.
so ideally something that goes into the air vent or has a suction cup. on ebay there are plenty of suction cup ones but i'm worried the phone will fall...how safe are those? i also saw one that I liked that goes into the cup holder and then has a bendy neck. the top part was huge though, so while it would fit the evo it was also an eye-sore.
what do you recommend?
thanks!
did you check out proclip at all?
they seem to have a decent solution for almost every make and model.
I know there a few threads about windshield mounts but none of them have what I'm looking for. I am looking for a windshield mount for my 2000 Ram 1500. I want it to mount on the BOTTOM on the windshield and come to the edge of the dash so it will need to be fairly long. I switch between the Seidio Innocase II surface and the Seidio 3500mah extended battery so I need something that will accommodate both of those. I also need it to switch between portrait and landscape. The Kensington windshield mount for the Iphone looks like it would be great but it doesn't look like it will allow me to use my extended battery.
What have you guys found that might work for what I need?

I bought this after finding a thread about it on another forum. Best accessory ever. Extremely quick and easy to install, rotates portrait/landscape ... can't complain about anything. It uses your CD slot - you just put it in the opening and clamp it down.
It's actually started to become a problem because I'm constantly distracted while driving by my cellphone now. It's just right there up in my face, gorgeous and begging to be played with.
Can't post the link since I'm new here ... but you can Google it easily.
I like the Clingo mount so much, I am going to mod the Sedio Active Innocase I have to make it work with it (smooth.velvty doesn't stick to Clingo).

I've got a cheap Arkon universal mount I use in my car. Works great with my ballistics case or naked.
Dunno how long it is but I have am ikd z car and its mounted to the bottom of my windshield and comes to the dash edge. Probably 6in or more. It was tricky too cause my car has a high rake angle and I wanted it mounted so it wouldn't show Tue mount at all in videos. It does block half the camera but it clamps hard enough that you can scoot it up and get the camera free.

When in its case, mine fits in my Garmin windshield mount

Why not just get the seidio innotraveler? It will fit both the extended battery and innocase power their website. I have it and love it, it actually extends pretty far.

Because the seidio one is $50! Thats crazy for a windshield mount. I found one at bestbuy yesterday its by rocketfish and made for the iphone but it works with our phone to. It doesn't come to the edge of the dash but it will work.
Can anyone recommend a car dock that works with a dashboard beanbag, so I can avoid doing the windshield suction cup?
I'm using the Verizon branded iGrip dock that I got from the Verizon store with my corp discount, it comes with a plastic disk you can stick to your dash if you don't want to put it on the window. I'm pretty sure if your beanbag mount has a similar disk on it that the dock would work with that. If you want I can try to snap a few pics later after work and post them up here.
Clingo Car Mount
Anybody ever seen or used one of these? Im going to go pick one up tomorrow just kinda wanted to know what they were like ahead of time.

Has anyone found a mount that works with a case, say the Seidio case?
You could check out Ram Mounts. You can basically make your own holster for any device and pick how you want to mount it. They even make aviation mounts which is perfect for those of us who are pilots.
Can anyone share a link to a good one for extended batteries.
Can anyone recommend me a good car holder for the phone? I want to get a sturdy good quality one, because I want to use it as a GPS navigation
Hey, I'm using Windowseat Mobile car dock (without the hands-free part). It's really great, the mount has an adjustable height supporting multiple devices, it's sturdy, looks and feels good. Here is the link

woah a bit too expensive for my liking.
Any other recommendations?

I got this one for my X10... Cheap, nice looking, working...when I have order it I thought it is a crap, but what you need from a card holder??? It fits, holding good and don't fall of the glass... Nice.
What does everyone think of this?

I think it is not good...because it is not enough flexible to choose a good position and the phone can fall out of it! I would recomend this one... The car charger is good and powerfull, not bad holder, as I said got it for X10... Some additional case.

Hi,
I tried searching the forum but with no results.
I recently bought a case for my phone a Galaxy S3 Otterbox Commuter Series.
I am looking forward to buy a car mount but can't find one that fits the phone + the case. I dont want to have to remove the phone from the case everytime I want to plug it in the car.
Is there any car mount that will fit the phone + case? I also prefer suction cup mount but I can't find any.
There is the Mounttek Universal Car Mount in The Master List for Accessories thread but it fits in the vents.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry,
I thought I posed in the accessories section.
Can a mod please move my thread?
Thanks.
I found these online.
I'm looking for the same thing, but not wanting to spend $30

There is a company called vtec that makes an adjustable mount. I used to see them at the local auto parts store pretty much fit any phone in there. except the gaudy note.
I love my exogear, sticks to anything. Does not matter what case it's in.
