Car dock compatible with Otterbox ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

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?

For those wanting a quality car mount, here it is. ProClip stuff is awesome. Its pricey but it works.
Completely worth it if you go with the fixed install.
I just ordered mine, I've always loved proclip.
Ordered!
I've been waiting for this bad boy to come out.
I wish that they would sell the basic holder without the swivel. I think that the entire mounting system looks much better without it. Oh well I'll just throw it in a box like I did for my G1 swivel mount.
I have a N1 ProClip holder somewhere around here. I need to see if I can figure out a way to mate it to a quality suction cup mount. If so, Ill get the Evo one.
do u guys know if the non-adjustable one works w/ the innocase II case? doesn't look like it, but figured i would ask....
this can be in landscape mode no problem huh? i should mention and it stays in landscape mode without any movement?
i bet this would work nice with an otterbox too...
hmmmmm
any videos anyone?
I dont think it swivels without leaving it loose.
I was thinking about it, but it us too expensive,i might just try a cheapo vent mount one to start

An alternative to Brodit/ProClip?
I'm sure this will work:

Yeah, it's for an HD2 but it may work..the Evo is just a fraction of a millimeter thicker, but essentially the same dimensions. The holder is wide open so all the buttons are exposed including a hole in the back of the holder for the speaker/camera. Even if I have to mod the holder a little once I have it, for $7 and free shipping and it fits on a standard Nuvi mount, which I got rid of anyway now that I have the phone's better Navigator....I'll take a chance with it before spending over $50 for a product that does the same thing. Just my two cents.
It should be here in a couple of days, as I ordered it about 5 days ago....I'll let you all know how it works out.
Cheers
i guess im out of luck since im using the sedio rugger holster.

the proclip one does not, but the slipgrip holder does. I took one of my old TP2 proclip mounts' ball joints and adapted to the slipgrip, its somewhere in the post where the slipgrip is reviewed in this forum

Use the ProClip iPhone holder that they also suggest for EVO's with cases.

Zenis Desk Dock

My Zenis Desktop Dock just arrived.
For those that are wondering, it will take a "rubber" case – (this case is just a generic no name brand)
I dont have a "hard" case to try.
You can see it here - I'm no movie maker

I believe you can use the samsung dock sidways, haven't seen any other ones that can be placed on their side.

it 'feels' & 'looks' like a quality product
if you can find who retails these they look pretty good, the link is to manufacturer minimum order 200 lol http://www.china-direct-buy.com/v/4...le_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_i9100_Charger.html
I am using this. Very satisfied for now. Charges the phone with the original SGS2 case on. That was my main reason for buying it. I have not tried to sync with PC using the dock as I use Kies Air mostly. Build quality seems good.
May be other dock users can confirm something, should the phone go in to Dock Mode as soon as it is placed in the dock? i.e. show the desktop clock etc. That does not seem to happen with this dock. Although I have not really experimented with any settings. Actually I'd rather have it just like now so that the phone screen is off when it is charging in the dock.
Just a heads up..
Zenis dock dosnt work with the Case-Mate Tough case.

Thats a given, it makes the phone super thick. At least the neohybrid and barely there can still fit.
anyone know if the case mate pop will fit in the Zenis dock?
or is it still as thick as the case mate tough..
cheers.
I've the same question. Maybe someone tried case mate pop with this dock?
Hi.
Got Zenis dock the other day.
Transferring files takes ages through the dock. Is yours working fine?
Or is mine broken?
Anyone please?
Is your Zenis case working like it should?
With mine data transfer is very slow.
otter box commuter
does anyone know if it works with the otter box commuter? It probably doesnt..

Will this dock work (Shimshop)

I was looking at the extended battery and came across this. I have a Diztronic case and I'm wondering if the Nexus will fit. If not, can you recommend other docks like this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...792279?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c218a3e17
Anyone have any thoughts?
would be nice if it had vent mount
According to the dimensions, this should work, even with the Diztronic case on it. I am looking for something similar. Will have to consider this ... I would like a fab up a USB to the bottom of a mount so the phone could slide into it and mount on the usb. Might look to ghetto though.
Very interesting, tired of waiting for the 3-pin dock to come out
I think I will just go ahead with ordering this one. Even if the 3 pin one comes out, I am fairly certain it wont work with a case anyway. I will post a review when I get it!
I think it's ok, use with USB car charger should be fine

Otterbox Commuter + Car mount

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.

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?

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 just bought this too, haven't got it yet, but it looks like a nice mount for sure.

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.
