Comes with a mount for a bike AND a car. Leave the mounts and move the clip from bike to car. Would work for virtually any phone so you're not buying a new mount every time you switch phones. Holds the phone very tight.
I have that mount too.
I personally hate it.
And why is that?
Sent from my Evo running CM7
The main reason is because the long arm produces tons of vibration
This is the one I have. And I love it. Works great with almost any newer phone too.

I had a mount similar to that, using the vent and the damn thing gotten loose after a while so that the Evo would face left or right depending in the turns I would be making in the car.
The pro clip looks interesting but can one use it with otterbox?

Not much can be used with an otterbox. Also the one I posted isn't a vent mount. I put mine on the windshield.

I'll be carrying this over to my next phone (Evo 3D) as it is truly universal for any phone. All I would need is a cheap case that the phone clips onto, stick some new velcro onto it and I'd be done.
I absolutely love it.
Ive been using a griffin mount designed for the Iphone, one arm on top, two on the bottom the one that expands or contracts to hold Ipod touch through Iphones.
Fits an Evo stock w/ no case. Fits an Evo w/ a Seido case (not extended battery) by removing the rubber cups in the bottom arms.
I personally just got a universal mount that clips to the air vents for $3, love it.

Someone posted about this when the Evo first came out. I have had it forever with the heat of Florida not effecting it.
The only downside is sticking a little tab to the back of the phone, but it sticks nicely to a case. If you buy it you may want to consider some extra tabs. Amazon doesn't sell those you have to buy them through wired for less.
I'd prefer something windshield mounted. If I'm not getting the 3-pin version, I don't see why I should have to remove my case for the car dock, so I'd like one of those generic car mounts.
I have no experience with them though. What's the best one? Any recommendations?
check out Ram Mounts. google it
They are the most sturdy, but can be expensive.
i use the X mount one with my gnex and its awesome.
FYI I saw someone mention using the standard Garmin nuvi suction cup mount, with a GN in a case it does seem to fit.

This thread is about the verizon nexus. You say you have the european samsung dock with the pogo pins and the verizon phone fits in it?
If so, do the pins line up and work to put in in car mode?
I ordered the VZW/LTE specific version of the car dock from mycellworld.com. its supposedly legit in that it has the 3 pins and is definitely for the LTE handset. its on back order, supposed to ship next week. will review as soon as it shows up.

I know you said you prefer windshield mounted but I just bought the Tetrax FIXWAY mount and I love it. There is a large thread on it with lots of pics/videos. That thread is one of the reasons I bought it.
I too was looking for a car mount to be used with a case and an extended battery. I was just going to use a generic one off of amazon that was like a clamp style. Even though the Tetrax doesn't suction cup to the windshield, I think it is worth you looking at if you haven't already.
I mounted mine onto my dash and think it works perfectly. It doesn't obstruct my view at all and its is just a quick glance down to check navigation/music.
The phone is really quick to just 'snap' it in place. The only downside to me is that you have to manually plug in the power and aux cords but I don't even see this as a true downside since you will have to do this with any generic mount you would need in order to keep the case on.
If you are interested and would like me to take any additional pictures for you just let me know and I would be happy to do what I can

I ordered the X-grip mount with a medium size arm and the adhesive rubber ball base(I plan on keeping my car until its run into the ground) on January 11th.
Soon after ordering they informed me that the base wasn't in stock but it would ship out in 1-2 weeks. 2 weeks past with no word, then he said it would ship out at the end of the week. Still no shipping
I figured CS people would know not to give unrealistic ETA dates(especially when ram-mount makes the damn things themselves), especially over and over again, stringing the customer along...

I'm really tempted. Both options above are expensive. I was worried that the attachment thing might look like ****, but from the pictures in that thread, it doesn't look too bad. Same question though, can I turn it to landscape for Navigation? Also, how sturdy is the connection? Will it fall off as my car hits a bump or something?

+1 to ProClip! They have a mount that can adjust with different cases, and it's very sturdy. The one I have mounts to my vent though (I prefer this anyway since my windshield is so...sloped). They are kinda pricey also, but they don't look too bulky and are specifically made for your car model. I love mine.
Would like to bump this thread to see if anyone else had suggestions for good universal car mounts/docks that will work with a GNEX in a case.

try the iBolt pro dock alumina... this car dock works with just about any phone, and especially works great with the galaxy nexus.... this cardock allows you to place it on either the windshield, dashboard, or air vent since extra pins are supplied to place the dock there and theres no need to remove your case from your phone... which is a god send.. it only cost me about $35 on amazon, so i cant argue with the price... i have excellent photos of it, that i'll share as soon as i reach the 10 post mark, that allows me to attach files and externals link...

I am trying to identify either a windshield or vent car mount that will be compatible with the Otterbox Defender case for the D710. Will the Otterbox Defender case work with Samsung's OEM Mount? If not, are there any other mounts available that will work? I'm not sold on the Tetrax mount, though it appears that it would work, and am looking for an alternative.
I found a Cygnett windshield mount at Frys for like $17. It grips the phone really well and ive never had it pop off the windshield yet. Cant post links but its pretty easy to find on their site
I've been using one of the universal adjustable mounts that should fit the 'box without a problem but I'm starting to re-think the windshield mount... I have it mounted close the drivers side A-pillar... and in my car there's an airbag in there. I'm concerned that if that airbag goes off I'm going to have a phone impaled in my face.

I never thought of that possibility, probably because my blazer doesn't have one. I can't recall ever seeing a legal disclaimer any of the mounts I've used (probably because they would be in the instructions where no man would ever find them). Or nobody has sued for that yet.
I usually put mine in the center of the windshield but for road trips I like it on the side window. Charging cable is a pain if just running errands. [IDEA]usb port in door panel[/IDEA]

you're right, ur phone will kill you if you have it that way. the one I use says specifically in the directions not to keep in an air bag deploy area. also using a universal one that works well, just sits on the dash and didn't need adhesives. can't charge though without some ugly cords dangling near the radio and controls.

I have to find some video to see how that particular airbag deploys... but it is concerning to me. Ideally I'd like to get the phone off of the windshield anyway because it gets a lot of sun load up there. Not an issue in the moderate months but in the summer it can get very toasty on the dash even when the car is in use. i remember my old EVO hitting its thermal limit a couple of times up there if I didn't have the AC on and the vent duct pointing at it.
That CD holder had me interested but it would block access to the radio station buttons in my daily driver.

I'll report back on how well it works once I get a chance to use it.
I've been searching high and low for a non-generic car mount/dock and I think I might have found something that will work. I just ordered the Motorola Atrix HD dock from amazon.
(link blocked)
Dimensions seem right..
Atrix; 5.26 x 2.75 x .33
Sprint Optimus G 5.19 x 2.71 x .33
I'll report back in two days when it gets here.
Hopes this helps....has anyone else found anything else that will work?
I have the 2011 model of the Sprint Universal Mount. With the Otterbox, this thing BARELY fits. But it still works very nicely
2012 model link is here
Yeah....saw that, and looked at a number of the "universal" mounts, but really wanted something that I could truly "dock" my phone into. I'm in and out of my car a lot during the day and don't want to hassle with plugging in the power cord each and every time. Thanks for the input.
NEGATIVE on the MOTOROLA ATRIX HD case....usb doesn't line up. darn.
Tetrax
Is anybody using any of the Tetrax mounts with the LGOG? (The system is preventing me from posting the hyperlink to the Tetrax site here, but it is tetrax.com.) I love their simplicity but am not sure I want to paste a disk to the back of my phone. If you have done this, can you comment on how you like it? Thanks.
Here is a good looking car mount for the LGOG.

If you don't need to have the phone charger automatically plugged in, I highly recommend this mount. You've never known convenience until you've put the phone in and take it off with only one hand :fingers-crossed:. Not to mention the it will stick to your car's dash (hard plastic parts preferred, as it will leave an indentation on soft plastic)

Yes I am using it right now, with this case, it fits fine with just a little bit of wiggle room to spare. For sure the Galaxy Note one will fit if you plan on getting a thick case like otterbox, but it might be too wide if you decided to go without a case?

That's what I had previously with my old phone. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the OG with case on. Plus the arm is too long which cause a lot of vibration when driving.
Clingo
I have the clingo and it works great with the otter commuter case
Had the Clingo too, bought it when it first came out. It worked well at the beginning, but after a few months in the summer heat (Southern California) the gel starts to degrade and start to leave a sticky residue on the back of my phone case. Got a replacement gel pad from Clingo, same thing happen by the next summer.
Yes, I've tried a lot of car mount options. Still looking for the perfect one (that doesn't cost something ridiculous like $80)
Here is the best I've found...
Brackretron
Takes some mounting and such, but definitely the best finished product...
ProClip Universal
I'm thinking of ordering one from ProClipUSA. [sorry, I'm too nube to be allowed to post a link...] In the past I've used their mounts for my old Garmin Nuvi and later for my HTC EVO 4G (the WiMax model).
Unlike those mounts, which were excellent and solid as hell, the two available are not full custom for the Optimus. And I really loved that my EVO's mount also provided power when it was docked. I rarely bothered explicitly wall charging the EVO as it always got topped off during the office commutes.
Still... with a few tweaks for the Optimus' dimensions it might be enough for a secure mount. For long trips it looks like I should be able to power it with the car 12V charger from the bottom opening.
This is what I have and it is the best mount I have ever used. Iotte easy flex 2

I have tried many car phone mounts, but none of them worked as I was wishing.
Then I googled this keyword "minimal car mount" and suddenly found this interesting idea based on magnetic power.

I was also looking for a minimalistic mount for my phone. I hate those suction cup and dashboard mounts so I got the tetrax xway and I love it. It mounts nicely on my dash near and blends into my stereo. Having the little metal nipple on my phone is a bit annoying but the convenience of quickly and securely attaching my phone to my car is worth it.

They are using different kind of technology that doesn't create strong magnetic field. Each holder has 4 tiny magnets.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I've been using these magnet mounts in my car for a couple years. They have worked great on:
HTC Wildfire
Optimus 2X
Galaxy S3
Navigon SATNAV (much heavier than a smartphone)
Walkman MP3 Player
Anything with metal in it like a pen!
Nothing has ever fallen off even over potholes and rough country tracks. All wifi 3g bluetooth are unaffected but cant verify NFC as I dont use it.
The only glitch I spotted was that the orientation sensor on the wildfire didnt respond (if I turned the phone from portrait to landscape whilst attached it wouldnt rotate the screen), but the other phones didnt have that problem.
I love it. Even though my magnet is larger (about the size of a 50p), its discreet and effective. I would recommend to anyone.
I have always used the stick on ones not the clip on, but as long as they clip ok to your vent and you dont blast hot air directly to the phone it should be ok.
I use their X-Way model as part of my near perfect car mount solution.
So obviously, it all starts with the Tetrax X-Way. I mounted that directly to one of the vents in the middle of my car. It does block the vest quite a bit, but it's the perfect spot for me and doesn't involve any adhesive on my dash. At first, I tried attaching one of the little nipple things to the back of my phone directly. While this worked, it drove me nuts that I couldn't lay my phone flat on a table anymore. This became a problem when I accidentally bumped my S3 while it was sitting on a table and since there was less friction now, the thing went flying. So not good.
My solution was to pick up a dirt cheep slim case. That's how I ended up with the elago G5 Slim Fit Case. With the nipple attached to that, I could just slip my phone in/out of that and leave the case sitting in my arm rest compartment when not in use. Now I had the awesome form factor of my S3 and the ability to mount. So the next issue was the connection.
Like almost everyone else, I was using the cigarette lighter along with a curly charging cord that was 5x longer than it needed to be. Worse, the giant power wart that was now sticking out of my dash. Not only was this ugly, it was a pain in the but to store. What I really wanted to use was a small USB cable, 6-8 inches long, that could fit with my new case in my arm rest and a way to ditch the giant dash wart. The cable is easy enough to find, but how do I plug it in? With the Griffin Powerjolt Dual! While there are a bunch of USB port adaptors floating aorund, this was the first I found that would actually sit flush against the dash. This means I wouldn't have any stupid wart thing to deal with, the look of my dash wouldn't be thrown off, and since I don't smoke, I could just leave it in full time.
The big win in all of this is two fold. First, I could ditch the bulky plastic car mount garbage for a few thin and easy to store version. Second, I did the same thing (but with a different case) for my wife's Galaxy Nexus. Now we can both use the same mount depending on who's driving (or if we pick up a second X-Way, we can both charge and mount at the same time thanks to the dual ports on the Powerjolt) and save even more room in the car since we didn't need two giant device specific car mounts. The other minor bonus here is that the X-Way came with enough of those attachment nipples that I should be able to roll along for a few years using the same mounting system across multiple new devices.

My friend has this solution for his BB and loves it. I wasn't willing to pay the price the local Best Buy wanted. I found a different magnet system at my local Bell store.
Something similar to this. I stuck the large magnet to my dash and the other magnet is on my case. I've had zero issues with NFC. Bash cash mount kit imo.
Hoping to receive mine soon! Anyone else using it and has more thoughts to share?

So I got the vent mount version and it works great in my car. In my truck the clip does not fit the vent. I placed the circle towards the top of the phone like it says and it hangs in portrait. In the video it shows it going between portrait and landscape, it doesn't do that. You get one orientation unless you put the connector in the middle I would guess. Other than that it is perfect.
