O bought the ECS-k1e1 car mount for the Galaxy Note, but it does not really let me position the device te way I want (due in part to the limited angles, and that there is another device mounted on the windscreen that I cannot move).
I *do* like the actual clip of the ECS-K1E1 with the power connector, but not the backend whic his too rigid.
Is there a swan-nek device that could fit the device-end clip of the ECS-K1E1 (vie those 4 tabs that lock into its back?
Any hints appreciated.
This 4 hole thing is called herbert richter or hr-mount.

I want to mount my Galaxy Nexus to my Windshield, in Horizontal Mode, and have full unobstructed camera view/angle. I go 4Wheeling and want to record out the front of my Jeep.
Was really disappointed with the Samsung mount in that I couldn't adjust it to point straight out without seeing the suction cup mount (my Jeep glass is pretty vertical)
I have YouTube examples, but apparently don't have enough posts to add links to my posts yet... DOH!
Has anyone found a mount that holds the phone securely (in a case), that doesn't shake too much, and does not push any of the phone's buttons?
Ram mounts are pretty nice.

Hi
I didn't find any phone car holder for LG g pro
Personally i love my iOttie mount. It connects quickly and holds tight and then easy to get out. Holds it securely without feeling like I'm going to break something (mount or phone) because its spring loaded with a button that "grabs" the device and holds it. The XL size holds my LG and my gal's 4.5" Motorola, its a bit to big for your iPhone friends.
I bought mine on ebay for like 19.99

This is my DIY method of mounting the OGP on my air vent using the head of a windscreen mount. The OGP with the case is pretty heavy and the suction cup can't keep it firmly especially in an off road situation so I decided to make this mount out of a piece of sheet metal. All I can say it is sturdy as hell. So if you like tinkering at home it can be a nice weekend project...

That mount looks like it would press the volume buttons. Any issue with that? just to make sure, you have Model No: HLCRIO101 , correct?
Also, do you have yours hanging from the windshield or mounted to the dash? I'm looking to hang it, with the phone in landscpae. Any issues with it falling out in landscape mode?

Do you actually have this mount, or are you just suggesting it? If you do have it, any issues with the buttons or shaking or anything, and will it hold the OGP in a hybrid case? Also, it's designed to have the home button on the left. For those apps that only want to display in one particular direction when in landscape, that would make me have to flip the holder over, with the single tab on the bottom and the two holder up top. Any issues with the phone not staying in the mount if flipped over in this way?
Pallcsa...I realize you made the bracketry, but what mount is it that you are using to hold onto your phone's case? Also, what app is that, that gives your lean angles?

I bought it cuople of weeks ago. Didn´t have the opportunity to try it. But I inserted the OGP to try and fits perfect, so i don´t think it will fit with any cover (as any other smartphone with car holder i had).

Ahh... Yes, you must put the power button side downwards. It just reboot my phone

It covers the buttons but doesn't "press" them. Mine hangs from the windshield. It's spring loaded but has soft pads and doesn't squeeze too hard but it sits in there secure, I use it in portrait mode exclusively with no problem.

Well, as I said it was the head of a universal windscreen phone mount that I had laying around since it was too weak to hold that weight firmly. As far as the inclinometer app goes, you can download it from play store. Here is the link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ojw.inclinlite&hl=hu
My OGP is in an Evtech Hybrid Case ( http://goo.gl/qZg5oX ) which is tough and hardy. I use a Dash Crab Duet car mount ( http://goo.gl/VKpBM8 ) with it. I offset the phone in the spring loaded jaw so no buttons are pushed. The mount attaches well to the dash or windshield and holds the phone securely in any position I gimble it to.

Wow! The Dash Crab Duet looks incredible, I will get it.
Thanks for the recommendation.
OP here. I ended up ordering the iOttie XL mount from Meritline:
http://www.meritline.com/iottie-one...for-galaxy-note-ii-galaxy-siv---p-102928.aspx
usually $19.99, but with coupon code MLCQ20XN it came out to $13.50 SHIPPED. Someone reviewed it for the OGP and said that the mount's holders touch the volume buttons but do not operate them, and that the phone in a case sits nice and tight. I should have it within the week and will report back any pluses and minuses of use.
I don't know if the coupon code is still good, but I guess you could try it if interested.
If this does not work out, I'll either mod it to make it work, or I might just try the Dash Crab Duet mentioned above.

With all the features of smartphones (GPS, Streaming music and much much more) a car mount is a must have.
I've used cheapo car mounts before from ebay and its safe to say they didn't stay in my car for long. I decided to try out another one when I got my Nexus 5 and glad that I did.
This mount is made purely out of ABS plastic I believe. Simple, sturdy and lightweight. Being that it'll hang from your windshield, Lightweight is a good thing. There are a couple things to note here.
First; It has a really, really strong suction cup. This is probably due to the lever style suction cup and not the type that you press onto glass. I've yanked on this pretty hard when it was on my windshield and it didn't budge.
Second, there is a lot of different angles that this can be set in it. First is the verticle angle adjustment. It's set by a simple knob that loosens or tightens the hinge.
Next is the swivel joint of the phone cup/claw/base holder. It's a ball joint and NOT hinge so it can be moved up, down, left, right and any combination of them. The cup/claw/base can be removed I don't know why you would remove it but it can be.
The phone is held in place by the "Claw" that squeezes together via a spring. The "claw fingers" are lined with a cushion so no scratches and to have a better grip on the phone. As shown in the picture, it can open up pretty wide and would accommodate most if not all phones.
Some people don't like having the mount on the windshield so there are these rotating disks that meant to be mounted on the dash. At the bottom is a sticky pad to placement. The disks can be locked into place or unlocked to rotate around when the mount is suctioned on them
Pulling the pin out allows for rotation e.g. facing the driver or passenger seat. Here is a picture showing with a line where it actually rotates on the disks. It's important to note that it can rotate 360 degrees around.
The dash disks comes in a two pack so it can be placed in two cars. So transferring the actual amount from one car to another is simple and easy.
Conclusion
Nice, simple, sturdy and affordable mount.
What are some good windshield car mounts for this device? I am looking for any that do not press up against the volume buttons.
This one from Bracketron works pretty good but it's not the greatest quality. The side brackets don't hold their positions and need to be readjusted every time. It doesn't hit the volume buttons and barely misses the power button though.

Definitely a magnetic - I use the scoshe magic mount
Windshield mount
Bah, I can't post links, but if you search amazon for "Clipper-Car-Mount-Universal-Vehicle", that's the one I use, which I like a lot. ASIN: B00MINMK9G
I can easily be used with one hand.

+1 on this, got the Scosche MAGWSM2 MagicMount due to this discussion and its rock solid. Attached the small mount directly on the back and it doesnt move an inch
