Hi together,
im quite new here and want to say "Hello" on this way with a Question. (btw im not sure if this forum is right, i hope so)
As the Oppo N1 is a really huge Phone, btw i like that size, its too big for my trouserpocket, especeially when i drive in my car to get it fast out.
So i want to install a car holder in my car. it sure can be screwed on the Dashboard of my car, i dont trust thesuction cup ones for the mechanical/vibration stability.
But im unsure what car holder to take, the most seem to be too small for the N!, do you have any Experience and can give me some advise?
Thanks in Advance and Regards
Danny
This technically belongs in the accessories forum.
I gave been using the mountek grip. It goes in the CD slot so it is very secure.

found a really good car mount for the xoom from Amazon ; well built, super stable, strong suction, easy to take off.
i drive a 08 subaru wrx so u know the ride is harsh and bumpy. that being said the mount has never fallen off with the relatively, big and heavy xoom on it.
im also using the COPILOT nav app from the market. full gps and mapping without the use of data. Best 4 bux i ever invested.
here's the amazon link

I'm wondering whether you've had any viewability problems with that kind of setup? Both on the road and on the Xoom screen itself?

CoPilot. Best 5 bucks I ever invested. Doesn't require data for live navigation. Excellent lane assistance and visuals. Optimized for the xoom

Dude!! Be very careful with this thing, I bought this after your post, and I've had it for 20 mins and it's dropped my Xoom twice already. Don't mean to be like that, but unless you want your $600 tablet busted up, I would highly recommend you take caution with this thing. Great in theory, worthless in practice.

Weird. Been using mines for the past two weeks and no drops. I also drive with a heavy foot on my gas at times in my wrx and still no drops

I think here in Wisc I'd get pulled over with that. It looks to obstruct the view of the road just a bit too much.
And in my Jeep I'd have no luck of getting it that close to the dash.
Cool find though! I still gotta get some metal and make me my mount lol

I would keep an eye on that suction cup too. I had a mount like that for my phone that used the exact same arm and after a couple of months the cup wouldn't stick to the windshield anymore. The lever on the suction cup broke and wouldn't keep the rubber against the window. It couldn't handle the pressure on it and that was only a phone being held up.

Ill keep an eye on it thanks. I take mines in and out of my windshield about twice a day (keeps those thieves away) and haven't noticed a change in suction. Since the Cali summer heat is approaching I would like to see how well this thing holds up.

I got mine in the mail today. I drove around for an hour with it and am satisfied. I have a scion TC with tein coilovers, so the ride is anything but smooth, and the mount holds up well. It jiggles some from the weight of the xoom so I find it helps to mount it low on the windshield and let the device rest partly on the dash to help support it. My cars windshield has an odd angle to it so the mounting process is a tad awkward but once you get it on it definitely stays there. Also noting the mount works with the incipio silicrylic case.

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?
Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks
I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

Anyone found a case with a silo or slot for the Galaxy Note stylus?
Are you serious?
Cause the stylus fits IN the phone and every single case ive seen has an open area to get it out.
Either you havn't actually got a note or you are trolling.
Im all for helping people out but try and actually think before you post a question.
Edit: Or you could want to keep the stylus seperate i suppose but what would be the point when you have a slot for it?

Ease of access. Old Sony Clie PDA cases often had a silo for the stylus; I find easier to use the stylus when it is in the case.

Thought I would share my cell mount that I got. I hated big klunkie mounts and buying a new one every time I get a new phone. I found these, one would do but for hard driving two lock the phone in place and nfc works fine.

Which ones did you get? There are multiple options! This is DEFINITELY what I've been looking for!!
One ego for the vent and one fix, I didn't plan on using both but the car is a Charger SRT-8 and if I pushed the car I could make it fall off. Now in most cars this would not be an issue but I like to push it every now and then...

Okay so... the "fix" fastens to the back of the phone and the "ego" clips to the vent? That right?
The "fix" is stuck to the dash under the ego in the vent . All that's on the phone is the metal button that sticks to the magnet in the ego/fix they come with four buttons to choose from..

Alright. I'll be ordering later this morning, haha. Thanks, mate.
is there any options to use this to mount the phone higher up on the windshield like a standard suction cup mount? i really like the idea but i've use vent mounts before i dont really like how it blocks the vent and you have to look away from the road to see your phone.
Just a caution: The stick on variant doesn't like ALL dash types, no matter how well you prep. In my case Subaru WRX.
I got the fixWAY. I love it so much I ended up buying 3 of them, one for each vehicle
I got a car mount from dealextreme and it is quite good. Secure quite tightly and doesnt come loose as i encounter with other mounts.
Granted does not fit when i have my extended battery fit on the phone
Does having a magnet on the back of the phone (when mounted) cause any problems or raise any concerns for anyone?
Yeah that's been asked a few times no it does not matter actually they are 4 small magnets which produce the magnetic fields that holds the phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Here's my setup with the Tetrax Fixway mount I like it a lot. I just used a case to attach the magnet to so I wouldn't have to stick one on my actual phone. It's much more convenient I can just strap on the case when I get in the car and mount it to the Fixway either landscape or portrait.
Here's a link to a blog I just wrote about a knock-off of the Exogear Universal mount I purchased from ebay for about $6 with free shipping. It's an awesome mount for any device and can accommodate the note with most cases attached and I would appreciate any and all feedback. If you have questions, ask away and I will try and answer them. http://sgoldfein.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/universal-cellphone-automobile-mount/
Hallo, can you provide the link where did you buy?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280920949618?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
And please mention Blu3Fr0g when you do.
I bought it. I mounted only the clip on a micro carholder. Perfect for mounting on the dashboard.

I have put sun film to my windshield and so can't suggest any vacuum based holder.
I think a spider like thing is better.( Spider cell phone holder.) I have seen in ebay but when I went to markets in Mumbai(fort), I didnt find people selling it.
