I've been looking for a good vent mount that will fit my Verizon S3 with a Diztronics case on it. I had one I purchased awhile back but unfortunately it broke. I've seen this one as well, but it has mixed reviews
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XAF4YQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2MCP9XRDS4FRC
I was hoping to spend under $25, and am looking to use the phone in landscape so I can use it as my GPS. Does anyone have one they would recommend? I tried the nGrooze one that goes in the CD player, and I love it but unfortunately the way its designed it pushes in the volume button on my Honda accord, so it doesn't work too well.
Thanks in advance!

nGroove does have a new mount out (not yet for sale, but very soon, I think): http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/t...k-mount-any-mobile-device-in-your-car-cd-slot
But, I can't tell if it will have the same issue as their older mounts, as they are pretty similar at the CD-player slot end.

This one might actually work better. I definitely hadn't seen anything about this, so thank you very much for the headsup!!

I made my own following this guide on Lifehacker. I used heat shrink rather than string, quicker and cleaner. Took me about 5 minutes, but I had all the tools at work and knew what I was doing.
Works quite well, though I have noticed recently (about a year after making the mount) that it has loosened up the horizontal slats that the binder clip contacts when it gets pushed onto the vent. Nothing serious, though.

Pictured is the Rock case, but I currently use the extended battery and Diztronic case. It also worked quite well with the stock battery and Diztronic case. Basically it accommodates a large range of phone sizes thanks to the rubber bands.
I have this one. Working well with samsung protective cover plus.

Just heads up for anyone else considering the Airframe: I ordered one to try with my daily driver S3+Defender, and no go. The Kenu website does not give any specs on the largest width it can handle. I thought I'd give it a try regardless.
With my digital caliper, the largest width the Airframe can handle fully stretched is 76mm. My defender measures about 79.5mm.
I really like this vent mount. Right now, I can only use it on my older Android units or my test S3 in a non Defender type case. Very nice concept, materials, and execution in terms of fit and finish. I'm going to email Kenu and hope a future revision can add an extra few mm.

Just happened across this company the other day. They make mounts for iphones. It is advertised as being formable to any skin or case. The iphone isnt much different in size so i ordered it. will post update when it arrives.
Oops cant post url. The company is named thought out. Just ad a .biz to the end and that is the site. The product is called the PED3 form.
Vibrant car dock
Can someone post a pic as i am at work and limited as to what i can do on the work comp.
The URL is http://thoughtout.biz/PED3 ? If yes, this url is blocked by my WebFirewall for "Spam URL".
Hope you didn't get scammed.
I am sure i didnt. I called home and the package arrived today. Will post more when i get the box opened and fool around with it. The web site is legit.
scam afterall
lol no follow up post.... someone got scammed me thinks

No scam at all. I got the mount and the phone fits great. i will have someone take a pic of it in the mount. what is the easiest way to post a pic on here? I repeat not a scam.
If you are nervous about that website, I just found that they are also in the amazon marketplace.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A1TGLSLJGB1PA2
I am new here so i cannot post a pic yet. I have the mount and it fits perfectly. The tabs on the mount are very easy to adjust so i am sure many different phone would work. I am using mine without a case but i am sure you can get it to work with one on.
Just upload your pictures to imgur.com or something and show us the links.
I will get a better pic of it mounted in the car. It comes with 4 small suction cups and an option to mount using 3M adhesive pad or screw mount. The tang on the top of the mount doesnt block either the micro usb or the headphone output. All in all i am very happy with this mount.
Considering that the iPhone is smaller than the Vibrant and I can't see that the holders are adjustable, how were you able to fit the Vibrant in there??? Mine has a case and I've been looking for a car mount that will accomodate it with the case. So do you think the Thought out PED3 mount would work with a case on the Vibrant?? Thanks in advance.

i would also like to know this, and also does it block the camera or? it'd be cool to even record while driving
Ive been looking for a car mount for weeks now. I finally found one that I like. I got it at walmart for $20. It's made by scoshe, it for the iphone but I can slide my phone into it even with my tpu case on it. It installs on the window or vent, and it doesn't cover the camera

The tabs of the mount are bendable. It is made to fit iphones with different style cases so it is adaptable to many different sizes. The look is also very clean and minimal which is what i was looking for. I am sure it wiould fit with a bunch of different cases. As for the camera i will have to look but i dont think it bolcks the camera. When/If you order make sure you get the PED3 FORM mount.
Hi all,
I have my Evo in a red/black Ballistic HC case and I need a new mounting solution. Was previously using the soundgate M2 but its rather difficult to attach/detach the phone and the plastic disk does not adhere easily to the rubber backing of the Ballistic case. More or less I'm wondering does anyone have a case similar to this one? This would be ideal because I travel alot and could take this with me for use in rental cars. The problem is, I'm not sure it will fit with the Basllistic case on. I know there are alot of other Ballistic owners on here, what are you guys using for car kits? Thanks

thanks, ordered.
theres a guy on ebay that does custom mounts for phones with cases, search Slipgrip Evo or Slipgrip ballistic evo. Ordered one for my innocase II and it worked great, ballistic one coming in the mail
What about just putting the disk on the hard case and covering it with the silicone part, and then pulling the silicone layer off when you get in the car? Free solution.
Here's kind of a DIY solution I came up with for mounting my Ballistic case in the car.
First, I tried this but the phone would fall off quite easily:
http://www.amazon.com/Cellet-Retail-Packaged-Universal-Magnetic/dp/B000KNLG3M?tag=5336653508-20
So, I was at Harbor Freight Tools today when I ran across this:
http://www.harborfreight.com/magnetic-ring-65535.html
So, I bought a couple and here is what I came up with:
First, I broke the eye loop off of it:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I put some 3M double sided tape on it:
Then I went out and stuck it on my dash:
I already had this metal disk stuck on the back of my case from the other magnet mount I had tried. It works great on the back of the hard case and you can't even tell it's there with the silicone cover over it.
Here is the case on the mount. It holds VERY securely, it is NOT going to fall off. (had to take my phone out of the case to take the pics)
First just the hard case:
With the silicone cover on:

Here is one of the listings....http://cgi.ebay.com/SlipGrip-Car-Holder-HTC-EVO-Ballistic-HC-Series-Case-On-/400183728575?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2ccf19bf#ht_3055wt_825
I use am Arkon universal car dock. Cost 15 bucks and I've been very happy. Very sturdy
Vibrates in my car bad cause my car vibrates bad but I have it sitting so low I have a shop towel as a damper. I'm sure in a modern car made in the past 20 years wouldnt vibrate. It does block the camera but it holds tight enough to where you can shift it so it wont block. It wont hold as well but it's good enough on my old car so I'm sure it'll be fine for everyone else

I am thinking getting a quadlock universal kit, has anyone had experience with this? I was thinking of a super cheap flat surface case, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?
IE, get a really cheap snap on type of case that I can put the phone into that I can put the quad lock adapter onto.

hi,
i bought the otterbox and cut a hole in the rubber case for the quad lock.
Hi i also have SGS4A with OB can you post a photo of what the cut out looks like /how thick it makes it.
I'd like to use quadlock on my bike! Looks really solid!

otterbox may be better
Re my previous post. I have otterbox and just took the leap. Its not the tidest work but it works perfectly.

I wanted to post a follow up to this.
What I did was take the Unicorn Beetle case for this and add the quad lock adapter. I now have this attached to my bike adapter and a quad lock car adapter. It is awesome.
The quad lock stuff fits extremely snug. I also have the quad lock phone tripod adapter, I went whole quad lock on this. It is great.
Let's see some photos
I use my S4A with the original Samsung case in combination with the QuadLock Universal Adapter as my daily driver.
Tried several 3rd party cases before but for me, the original Samsung S4A Case is the best for use with QuadLock i think. Best compromise in fitting, thickness, stability, shock resistance and look and feel.
Product No. is EF-PI929BSEBUS
Otterbox looks also very interesting :good:
Thanks
Thanks
Hey guys,
I just received my MoKo case from Amazon and so far I am very happy with it. If you are considering purchasing this cover I do recommend it. Here is what I think so far. The texture to the cover has a very soft leather, almost microfiber feel over leather, but still a soft leather feel. I am telling you, it feels amazing. For as cheap as this case is, it does what it needs to, protects the case, lets you tilt it in landscape and lay it down upside down for an almost flat but more like 30 degree angle type view if looking down at it. It does not do a rotation portrait view if that is what your looking for. The faint white stitching around the case is a very welcomed and handsome look to the case which goes well together with the GN 10.1 2014 rear fake stitching as well. It fits snug, does not slide around, and protects the case very well. For this price, and it being available right now, I recommend it as my other cases I have ordered are not shipping until first week to last week of November. The magnets are strong too if anyone was wondering. The wake/sleep feature does work every time, no issues. I have heard talk about the magnets causing issues with the digitizer but it seems to be rumor and unconfirmed. So for now, I am happy with this. Hope this helps.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DE8RRYC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
+1 I just got this case and I'm surprised at the quality for such a low price. I'll be getting another one in a different color when available
Glad you like this case, but a lot of us think the leather covering the bezel makes it look cheap. After a few days, you might find your tab starting to sag in cases of this style.

Doesn't that case cover the S-Pen slot in the picture? Granted the pictues might be of a Tab 3, but still. They also call the tablet N8200, which isn't a number I've ever seen in relation to the Note 10.1 '14.

It does in the picture, it also is missing the SD card slot, so I'm assuming it's a bad photoshop job. I've ordered the case, and will report back once I get it.
Well I do think those look slightly better but so far I really don't mind it and the extra protection makes me feel a whole lot better than I would have on those others
I did purchase the poetic you listed and 2 others awaiting to be available. I will use all of the cases for different purposes.
I looked at both of those cases too. Ultimately I went with the cheaper one because, for some reason, Amazon had it for $0.01 (including Prime delivery). I'll take cheaper looking for a penny.

Any chance you could post a short review of each ? Pros & cons, experiences etc
Trying my best to switch from Note 2 to OPO through this trial period and here is one of the many hangups I'm reaching.
Does anyone know if there is a case that has a pocket for ID / credit card that fits OPO? Much more convenient than taking your wallet out bar hopping.
This is the case I currently use for Note 2: http://www.zoarah.com/foxjail-air-pocket-case-for-galaxy-note-2.html

There is some variants of adhesive card holders.. ie like this Can be hound at amazon too.
none that are one piece
there are a few wallet cases
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-busines...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item1c42adc272
Use this one !
I purchase this one and it works flawlessly. Not only is it cheap but looks nice and has a few colors to pick from. I chose black and i love it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L3FZ4YI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Price: $6.40 + $1.90 shipping
Cons:
Took me almost 3 weeks to receive if you live in the US like i do.
Makes the phone a bit bulkier because of the hinge the flaps open but not that big of a deal
Pros:
Keeps my screen safe from scratches
holds my credit cards decently
EDIT: I forgot to mention it doesn't come with any screen protectors although you can find one that does but its a bit more $. Also this case comes with a cheap very small micro fiber screen wipe.

Sorry to bump an old thread, I just realized how much I truly miss my credit card case for my Note 2.... :crying:
These others may be great for some people but I cannot use a "flip case" or whatever you'd like to call it, I just need something attached to the back of my phone.

I wouldn't recommend this case to anyone. The quality is very poor. The thread frays, and the fabric that separates your cards rips and makes it useless, the cards also slide down the length of your phone making them very hard to get to
