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.
Just found this on eBay. It's not made by Otterbox but it is made specifically to fit the EVO while still in the Commuter case. I'm sure plenty of you are looking for something like this so here you go.

Nice find. If I hadn't all ready made my own, I would definitely buy this, I sill might anyway.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
That looks pretty cool. They also have a vent mount one instead of the windshield mount. I might pick one up also. I sure love the Commuter Case!
FYI this is the same seller where I got my car mount for my platinum case.
Here is a thread.

They hand form these so they don't look great or lined up perfectly. But they do work.
By pure chance I found out that my SIII with its slimline cover fitted works perfectly in my Garmin Nuvi 205 dash mount.
Secure and easy to mount, almost as if it was made for the S3.
The Garmin Part Number
Item 010-10936-00 Suction cup with bracket (Nuvi 2xx series)
Cost is around $10 - %15
Cover is a Cygnet BlackFrost Matte slim case (around $20)
I love finding a really good cost effective solution for my toys!!
Video Clip. Please excuse poor sound quality, had to dig out my old Olympus compact to make this,
Thanks, looking forward to the video.
good to know since Garmin has quality mounts.
Does it actually clip in? Is it firm?
If you remove the case, hows the fit?
Fits snugly, clips into the mount as if it was made for it,
Doesn't work without the cover though, phone is just to small,
Would be possible rather easily I might add to put some shrink tubing on the arms of the mount and build it up a little to hold the phone naked!
I wonder if it would fit with a tpu case. Your case seems pretty slim

Thanks for the find. Do you think it would be able to fit the S3 with an Otterbox Commuter case on? My phone's approximately 7.7mm wide with the case on.
Cheers
Might fit but it would be tight, the rounded edges of the Cygnett case allows it to clip into the holder the otter box might be to square

You should get a replacement one...They are super cheap on eBay. I have one that is over 7 years old (*back when standalone GPS units were +$300!) and it still works great.

I fix that with alcohol. But then I fix everything with alcohol.
universal mount
I got this car mount from amazon.com
Search for Kropsson Aero universal mount.
the design of the mount was a great plus.
Feature wise, defiantly recommend.

couldn't have said it better myself!!!!
I can confirm this mount works great with the rock quicksand case. Easy to put in and take out and holds rock solid. Before the case showed up I had used a couple pieces of heat shrink tubing held on with electrical tape and it worked awesome with the naked galaxy s3.
I like this style of mount because you can position the phone with it gripping the middle, top or bottom to fine tune where the screen is in relation to your windshield.
I went with this one though, instead of one of the $5 options: (replace spaces with ., I don't have enough posts to post links) www amazon com/gp/product/B0042PJ8NY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00[/url]
It's the actual oem garmin mount instead of a knockoff, and judging by the reviews the difference is the mount that holds the ball is made of metal, so it won't break. It came with one of the 3m PE Foam adhesive backed discs for mounting to the dashboard as well. Highly recommended.
I just tried it. PERFECT fit with my diztronic TPU case. Thanks OP!
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone out there had any recommendations on a car mount that works with the Ballistic SG Maxx case?
I really like the way the car mount in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806888 thread. Unfortunately it looks like it is only made to fit the phone without a case.
Anyone have any recommendations for me for a good mount with this case?
Thank you,
Whiteice

I used a Galaxy S (Captivate) & hard Body Glove case w/ detachable beltclip so the nub the clip mounted to increased the maximum thickness of the case to about 1" with the Akron Mega Grip model. The sides are spring loaded so as long as the Ballistic can get a little support from the bottom clips (i.e. so it isn't just the side grips holding the phone) it should work. Thickness of the Ballistic needs to be around 1". Looking at the Ballistic online I think it would work, if you buy it from Amazon you should be able to return it if it doesn't.
RE: Using Ballistic SG Maxx. Need a car mount
I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S3 and not long after my Garmin Nuvi 205 quit working. I had just purchased a new window mount for the Nuvi. I started using the Galaxy for navigation and wished I too, had a car mount. I noticed the Nuvi and the SG-Maxx case had similar slots on the edges and upon further investigation found them to be very close to the same size. I had to remove a small amount of plastic from the Nuvi car-mount to get it to work better, but this was easily done with a sharp utility knife (As you can see in the photo). This replacement Nuvi Car mount was less than $6 online: I have used it for over 3 months now and it has worked well for me.

I did the same thing! A review on Amazon said that they used a mount for a Garmin Nuvi 255W and it worked well, so I bought a mount on eBay for $6 (plus another $6 for shipping). It fits the slots perfectly without cutting. The only thing I would say is that it's a bit tight right now. However, it's very sturdy and works great. I have a USB cord tied around it so that I can charge the phone too.
BTW, the Ballistic SG MAXX black & white case looks GREAT on the white Galaxy S III. I can only find pictures of the B&W case on the pebble blue for some reason. I wanted to post pics, but they were pretty blurry (need more light).
Winnergear asked me to do my mini-review on the Montar Universal car mount and I obliged . Being I do a lot of accessory reviews here to give back to the great XDA community, here is another one for ya. I know there's another thread about it, but I didn't want this post get buried in the thread so....
I got this yesterday and decided to do a day of testing before doing one of my reviews. I usually just pop the box open and post pretty much right away . But not this time! I was busy at work anyways lol.
First off, the box is the normal boxes that you see from time to time and it is a nice small frame box, but in transit, if not boxed, will be damaged in transit. The mount includes a mounting disk for your dash for even more sticky-ness. I already have one installed due to my old gps units.
When I first tried it out in the truck, I peeled off the protective cover of the adhesive sticky pad side, which is a lot like the Nexus Wireless charger backing. Once you feel it loses any tackyness, just wipe with a damp paper towl and it's magically refreshed. I placed it on my dash plate and it immediately stuck. Pushed down the lever to anchor it and this thing is not coming off! It will tear off my dash plate before coming off. Really impressive.
I currently have a Seidio Ledger flip case and was curious in how this universal would fare with it on. I thought, because of the grippy rubber red "teeth" it should grab and hold anything you throw at it. Was I right? Yep lol. Ok that is pretty cool. Using a flip case and placing the flap on the back or even have the hinge side of the case facing down and letting the cover flap open with gravity. Either way works and works well. The phone is not dropping from this device.
Before moving on, the base is nice and sturdy and the ball joint is maneuverable and can do a 360. Smooth operating. You just unscrew the area where the ball joint is and then adjust accordingly. What I usually do is just unscrew it just enough where it can move around pretty well and then when satisfied screw the joint adjuster until tight so the phone won't flop around. Another thing is that the grips open on both sides. So you can do a one handed mount. I have not perfected the one handed dismount yet, but that's fine lol.
Anyways, the phone is pretty much anchored where ever you place it. Overall, this a premium universal mount, if you can call it that lol. I can see this fitting many many type of cases without any issue. And the sticky mount is the best I have tried so far in the car. Can I recommend this? Well it is a premium device as I said, so the cost of the mount is around $35 USD. Not too high up, to me just at the top side of my range on what I would spend on a dash mount. Being this a really good one, I feel good recommending it to anyone that is willing to pay for what you get. A solid universal mount that will last past this N5 and many others IMO.
Pros:
Size is middle range.
Can pivot 360 so you can see your device at any angle.
Rubber teeth holds firm
Sticky pad is VERY sticky.
Cons:
Sticky pad can get dusty really really really fast.
Color is shiny gloss black like other car mounts I have used with the exception of the Xenomix brands which are matte black, but much more expensive. As a result, can get scuffed like mine is on the back side.
Wishlist:
Cord management
Or ability to house a wireless charger pad by an insert or different "grip".Not an engineer, sorry lol.
Recommend? Yes over any Arkon mount you can throw at it. For being that I can get it in the US pretty fast, I can recommend this. Will I stop using my Kenu Airframe? Probably not, but this is a great alternative.
Any questions, please ask away! Oh I'll be getting a Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid case where I can test with that on as well. I don't foresee any problems, but just a FYI.

Might be a strange question, but has anyone actually bought a Montar mount and received it? It seems like every review I have seen was when Montar has sent the person one to review. I tried to order one last year and I found a lot of negative feedback about the company claiming they never received their item or it took months for them to actually get it. I ended up buying a similar mount on Amazon. But yeah, just curious has anyone actually bought one from them and what was the service like?
EDIT: Sorry, disregard my post. I just saw your Amazon link. When I originally was going to order it it wasn't on Amazon but on their own site which is what was getting negative feedback.
I received mine long time ago ... Amazing mount , built to last ...
Nice review. Thanks
no doubt .. it's the best !
+1
Can you give us the measurements of the dock? I'm mainly after the height and also the max width of the grip. I have a 9cm mat that I want to mount if possible. Thanks!
Nice
