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.

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.

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.
Today I was looking for Galaxy Nexus car mount holder on Amazon.
I came up with this car mount holder.
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windsh...volution/dp/B00687N0GK/ref=zg_bs_2407763011_1
It is the best selling car mount.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/wireless/2407763011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_cps_1_4_last
Is any of you tried this?
I have Galaxy Nexus GSM. I'm wondering if it fits.
I sent an email to the customer service but I'm wondering your comments
I sent email to customer service and this is the answer that i received
Dear xxx,
I have searched on google about your phone, and it says the width is 2.67 inches wide.
Our car mount's adjustable width size is from 2" to 3.2", so it won't be a problem.
Hope this information was helpful, and if you have any other question, please feel free to email us back.
Best regards,
Christina Kim

However, I'm considering to buy the OEM Galaxy Nexus car dock.
i used a slip grip with my cased droid x and found it worked very well.

That looks pretty good,I used to use a $5 belt clip from ebay on my Eris, but now they only make them facing in. Thanks for the link. A bit spendy, but the best option for a case I've seen.

You're welcome.
I checked threads about car holders and I couldn't see anything about this car holder. Even though it is the most popular one in Amazon shop, it is not popular here.

Does this car mount have a clear view when using the camera? Some car mounts you can see a bit of the mount attachment

I have the iOttie mount and its just decent. I have my Gnex in an otterbox defender case and it barely is wide enough to hold it..with maybe a 1/4" to spare..
My phone vibrated and fell out some. It might be more stable if I permanently mounted it to the dash instead of putting it on the windshield.
But give it a go if you want. Its dirt cheap on amazon.

Thanks for comment. I think I will order it.
I'm willing to buy an office car dock for GNEX GSM, but I think it is still not released?

Can anyone recommend me a car dock for Gnex. My Gnex lives in Otterbox Commuter. I am interested in this one but not sure if this is compatible with Commuter or not.

Would appreciate if some options can be suggested to me.
Thanks

Thanks but that's a mount , i am after a dock.
The Samsung one you linked is definitely NOT compatible with any case, much less an otterbox.
Its a tough squeeze to get the naked phone in it.
There are no pogo or micro USB dock for Gnex + case.
We waited 7 months just to get the first car dock for GSM.
If you don't want to take off the case everytime you get in the car, you gotta DIY.
What connection were you planning on using?
Hi!
I've bought a new bumper (SPG Spigen Ultra Lumi Bumper).
Now I need a new car mount, because my old one does not fit with the bumper.
Any suggestions for new car cradle?

The ibolt car dock is great. Works with or without a case. Does not work with the defender.

How thick are the adhesive plates protruding from the case? can you post a pic?
Its about 5 sheets of copier paper. Very thin. A lot thinner than a credit card.

I've been using the iOttie one touch mount. There's a newer one that just came out called the Easy Flex 2 but I've been using the original one called Easy One Touch. Best car mount I've used. There's a button on the dock plate that when pushed in the 2 arms grab onto the phone and it's pretty secure. To remove it just squeeze the 2 buttons on the side of the mount and the arms open up and the phone pops out.
It's not a powered dock so you have to plug in your adapter straight into the phone. Most times if my phone is fully charged I don't plug it in and it's a very clean look.
I keep an NFC sticker by the dock to turn on GPS and car mode so with this mount everything is just so quick. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

I found a cheaper version of the clingo mount http://dx.com/p/long-tube-car-stand-holder-for-iphone-samsung-htc-blackberry-black-156661 and ordered it to give it a try. Hopefully it'll be as sticky as the original and works with any case with smooth surface.
