Looking for a windshield mount for my truck

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?

ive been using this...

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.

I came up with this car mount holder.

It is the best selling car mount.

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.
SlipGrip Galaxy Nexus Options

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?

Searching for a new car mount. Any Suggestions?

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?

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.

Using Ballistic SG Maxx. Need a car mount.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone out there had any recommendations on a car mount that works with the Ballistic SG Maxx case?
I really like the way the car mount in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806888 thread. Unfortunately it looks like it is only made to fit the phone without a case.
Anyone have any recommendations for me for a good mount with this case?
Thank you,

I used a Galaxy S (Captivate) & hard Body Glove case w/ detachable beltclip so the nub the clip mounted to increased the maximum thickness of the case to about 1" with the Akron Mega Grip model. The sides are spring loaded so as long as the Ballistic can get a little support from the bottom clips (i.e. so it isn't just the side grips holding the phone) it should work. Thickness of the Ballistic needs to be around 1". Looking at the Ballistic online I think it would work, if you buy it from Amazon you should be able to return it if it doesn't.

RE: Using Ballistic SG Maxx. Need a car mount
I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S3 and not long after my Garmin Nuvi 205 quit working. I had just purchased a new window mount for the Nuvi. I started using the Galaxy for navigation and wished I too, had a car mount. I noticed the Nuvi and the SG-Maxx case had similar slots on the edges and upon further investigation found them to be very close to the same size. I had to remove a small amount of plastic from the Nuvi car-mount to get it to work better, but this was easily done with a sharp utility knife (As you can see in the photo). This replacement Nuvi Car mount was less than $6 online: I have used it for over 3 months now and it has worked well for me.

I did the same thing! A review on Amazon said that they used a mount for a Garmin Nuvi 255W and it worked well, so I bought a mount on eBay for $6 (plus another $6 for shipping). It fits the slots perfectly without cutting. The only thing I would say is that it's a bit tight right now. However, it's very sturdy and works great. I have a USB cord tied around it so that I can charge the phone too.
BTW, the Ballistic SG MAXX black & white case looks GREAT on the white Galaxy S III. I can only find pictures of the B&W case on the pebble blue for some reason. I wanted to post pics, but they were pretty blurry (need more light).

HTC One car mounts

Post your photos and reviews of car mounts for the HTC One.
I picked up one of these. It fits the One really well, it is easy to insert and remove the phone. The suction cup grips my dash really well, there is no way this thing is coming loose. The mount is not too large so it does not take up a lot of space on your dash and it is well made.

I have one in my car right now. It's awesome. It fits a Note 2 and still works with smaller phones like the One. The one handed removal and the auto closing feature is great to get the phone on the mount quickly.

This is the one I use, I got it on sale when it was around $15 and has served it's purpose well.
Unlike most dash mounts, this one goes into a CD player deck which I hardly use for CD's anyway. It locks in and it holds pretty secure.

i just bought one of these. it looks nice, but it wont work with a case on your phone. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121120265750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I have tried Iottie, Mountek before. Now I have been using Steelie and all I can say is that Steelie is the best car mount for me. It is really easy to use and it covers very little space on your dashboard or console. No vibration at all and it is really flexible that you can adjust any angle really easily.

I also have the car mount in the OP. It's awesome. I've had it for about two weeks now, and it hasn't budged.

I bought this one from Nokia.I thing this is the perfect car mount for HTC ONE !
Only 17 euro.

Wow I really love that car mount!! Thanks!

Any dock with integrated charger?
So far the only 2 options I saw were the stock dock, which doesn't work for me since I have a cover. and the iBolt, which is somehow universal and flimsy, I had the iBolt dock for my S3 and hated it.

I've use Proclip for years with my Galaxy Nexus. I just picked up a HTC One so I've got one of their mounts on order.

It' the same company that made the official sprint dock for the Evo LTE

I was browsing this a while ago and read about the Kenu Airframe. Ordered it last week. Shipped on monday and arrived today. Probably one of the most solid car mounts I've ever held for that price. Fits great even with a case and fits my circular vent perfectly. Was a bit skeptical because my vent is a bit recessed, but it worked out fine and is pretty damn solid. 5/5.

What a deal
Picked this up while browsing the clearance section in TJMax discount store. Made by "Digimaxx". Only paid $4.00!

I highly suggest the niteize steely also.

Ordered the airframe as well. Gotta agree it is solidly built and is alot smaller than what I imagined. I like how it can hold different devices and has enough pressure and grip so there will be no slipping. Great product and design.
