I like these mounts, the page just went up today. It's much better than the crap Verizon is pushing. Anyone else ever use these docks?

I can't tell from the pics but does the one that have the charger block the audio out?
Never mind, I can see the audio jack now in the pics.

i came on to post this...I just got an email from proclip confirming this. Ive used proclip in the past and they are of good quality

I'm guessing only the adjustable holder will fit our phones if we have cases on them?

Looks like it. I would like the active setup, but I will have a TPU case on it. I wonder if a heat gun can help me bend it out a bit.

I'm looking at the same problem here. I've been using a holder with the 2 amp charger for the past two years with my Incredible and absolutely love it. I've never been able to get an extended battery because of how tight it slides in, though. I'll email them and ask but I might have to just swap in the stock battery for rides I know I'll need the juice.
Pros of using this are great, though. Because it's 2 amp charger I would get ~25% in about 20 minutes of driving with my Incredible with fast charging enabled in the kernel. GPS and Bluetooth for Google Maps would slow the charge down but would still give me a full charge from 20% to full in an hour. With Cyanogen I would set my bluetooth to only turn on when connected to a wall charger so I'd slide this in and my buetooth would turn on and connect to my car automatically. Last but not least, your wires are all tucked away! Very clean look.

Does the mount hold the audio cable so it doesn't move and it plugs into the phone?
Any issues with the diztronic TPU case? Would it prevent the microusb or audio plugs from inserting into the phone completely?

If you get the universal dock, the bottom of the phone is completely exposed so you won't have any issues. I got my wife one of these (universal) for her iPod a few years back and the build quality is top notch.
i wish I didn't have to also plug in the cables separately, but maybe I can jerryrig something up.

Yah, that's I'm trying to avoid. Taking off my case every time I get in the car would be a big hassle.

If you don't want to remove the case, then you need to get the universal dock. I wish them made a version of the active dock that was slightly adjustable, but they don't.

My question is would the charging holder accommodate the extended battery given that it barely adds any thickness to the device. From the looks of the pictures, it looks like the device slides in and is held on to the sides only so it looks like shouldn't be a problem.
I contacted customer service and they said this:
Indeed the added battery won't make it work in 512324. Our adjustable holder listed with the Galaxy Nexus listing might work. Our custom holders are made for the device as it comes out of the box, and indeed any added thickness will make it not work in our custom holders.

Most extended batteries tend to add a lot of bulk (more than cases sometimes). The person who emailed you back may not be aware that the GN's extended battery adds about 1-2 mm of bulk to the bottom half of the phone.
Since the holder is a slide-in type, I can't see this being 'millimeter-tight'. Don't take my word for it but I'm willing to bet that this will fit even with the extended battery on.
I guess we won't know for sure until someone gets the fitted holders and try it though. I'd try, but I've a case so the fitted ones do me no good for sure.

80 bucks for that dock. Ouch. Good concept, but that is a bit rich.

I wish you could buy these at a store. I've already got the whole set for the Nexus One and I've been waiting for the GN mount. I just added to my cart and it's an extra $20 in shipping (to Toronto). So after duty at the border I'm looking easy at $60 just for that one piece of molded plastic. Yeah the mount is great, but that's seriously expensive.

I've used their cases for the last 2 years, nexus s and thunderbolt, and they are great. I still have my Nexus S holder and the picture of the one on their site for the GNex looks like the same style, if so it should work with the extended battery. The slide in case is tight on the sides but leaves a gap behind the phone, see attached pic. The phone slides into that groove and the groove itself is very thin so it doesn't appear it will interfere with the rear battery cover at all.

Proclips is a great solution. I've used it for my car for years. I used them in 3 different cars. Pricey however, it works very well. A+

Got a negative response =(
Unfortunately not. We only have adjustable holder with charging for our Apple line. These have all the same connectors in exact the same location.
For other phones there are too many differences in charging location and thickness of cases.

Hi
For those in the UK... just ordered an active mount from http://www.mountonus.com/
£59.99... bit steep but I guess thats the price you pay for a nice phone-specific/car-specific mount!

It was to be expected. They are not going to design a niche product for a phone until it sells consistently in the millions. That said... Creating a Micro USB small swing arm to make it universal should be too hard....
If I feel industrial, I might see what I can make on my own.

[CAR] Best unofficial car dock / phone holder

As the official dock is way too expensive imo, I thought I'd start a thread where people can post their unofficial car docks they bought and the experiences they made.
So far I came across two docks, the [CAR] Passive holder from Brodit (2nd pic)
and one I found on ebay, sent from Hong Kong (pic below): Windscreen Car mount small (1st pic with text "one X")
This one also can be bought with various different mounting options. I am not sure how easy it will be to dock and undock the phone in the mount though, looks rather tight.
I think I will wait some more days / weeks before I'll buy something.
Any other car kits you guys found?

2nd looks pretty decent for a cheap mount

Here another one, brodit active, but really ugly...

the problem is it's being sent from HKG, if customs here decide to have a look at it I end up paying CHF 35.- (double the amount that thing costs) customs service fee, I almost might as well buy an official one
I would get this one, but I need a seller here in Europe.

Hey this one is low cost and will do the job:
ebay swivel one x holder
I used ot use it with my old DHD which now feels so ridiculously heavy!
You can mount it witht he provided suction that holds well enough.
Or if you buy some 3m automotive grade double sided tape
You can mount it on other places that don't have a smooth glass finish.
I had it stuck on plastic trim near the driver door/window.
The surface was mildly bumpy but that 3m held on well until the day I removed it.
Popping the phone in and out, and rotating it with force didn't budge it!
Out of curiosity I also purchased this one:
Those protruding clips can probably come off easily.
Some 3m on that flat surface and it will probably stick anywhere.
I like this one because it sticks out and gives a greater range of movement / angle.
Secured near the door you can have your arm rested on the seal and access the phone easily.
Unlike the official (or any other suction windscreen mounted one) which forces you to lean towards it awkwardly.

How easily can you mount and demount the phone in this one?
I am also looking into getting this one, I also already have the cradle, would you mind taking a pic without the phone in it for me to see if it would fit for my cradle (with my old mount I could simply take away the "case" which held the phone, was secured with 4 rectangular holes in roughly 2.5 cm distance to each other)?

It can definitely be used for that (did it with my HD2 myself), but the swivel one will also not cover the camera lense.

Hey thanks for finding that.
This one here is pretty much spot on to what I been looking for:
The way them brackets expand in their demo video looks like it will hold a phone even if it's in a tpu case.
They ship outside of US too but the best part is that they allow you to use your own fedex/ups account.

This is the one I purchased.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160777560050?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I really like the way the suction on the windscreen works. Some of these other car mounts are horrible, they fall off after a few minutes, hours ect...
The fit of the HTC One X on the bracket is very tight, won't ever fall off.
Happy with this one.

Btw this one arrived... 6 days transit, not bad for HK.
The item is not the best though.
The neck is more stiff then my first erection when I discovered p0rn. Hard to bend.
The phone sits well tight in the bracket but putting it in feels like I'm going to damage the phone.
Not the best. Ebay didn't deliver.. usually they only have quality true? lol
Anyway, I will purchase that one from Arkon. Looks decent and can cater to multiple phones.

I've just found the following item on eBay which may be of interest to UK HOX owners:
[Unfortunately I can't post a link as I haven't posted more than 8 times on this forum]
Search eBay for item no: 360454478820
£5.95 free postage within 2-3 working days.
Looks to be the same item/design as the on in the OP
I'll be placing my order today and will post again with feedback hopefully by the end of the week

not bad this is, use to have one of these for my old HTC HD2
only problem is when you change your phone for something different,new than you have to sell this with the phone and buy a new one again.
So I've decide to go for some universal accessories as I was tired of changing the holders,dockings, chargers all the time. Especially in car access. as I always ended with reinstalling cabels, holders, etc..
But good solution for someone who don't mind to change or who's not changing phones often

Could you check the back of the phone holder itself, I ordered one just like yours and it has 'G21' stamped on the back. (G21 is the Sensation XL)
I can manage to get the phone in, but the fit is so tight I'm scared the screen will crack when I hit the first bump in the road...

Yeah, it'll definitely fit with a TPU case as long as it's not super thick.

DIY Wireless Car Charging Cradle?

Guys,
Has anyone here cracked open a Qi wireless charger and modded it into their existing car cradle?
I got one for that purpose and it's a little too big (a little bigger than my Nexus 5), so I cracked it open. Now I'm looking for ideas on what I can use to encase it.
These things have a ton of wasted space inside, so I know I can make it smaller somehow. Please chime in with any ideas you might have. Thanks!

What brand is that? Might end up buying one and modding one for myself as well.
Also what are the exact dimensions? it looks to be about 5''1/2 X 3''

The dimensions of the whole thing inside the black case are: 5 3/4 X 3 1/4 inches.
The board is 1 1/2 (plus 1/4 for the usb port) X 2 1/2 inches. The round part is 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 inches.
Together they are about 3 3/4 (again, plus 1/4 inch for the usb port) X2 1/2 inches. This is if the board and the round part are laying inline.
We need to consider that the round part can be folded around the other side of the board. Then the dimensions are even smaller than what you would get if you purchased one of the round "puck" ones. Folded, the dimensions are now: 2 1/4 X 2 1/2 inches.
I purchased mine on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Color-Qi-...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2c76d04857
It cost about $17.00 shipped from New Jersey.

Subscribing to this hoping for some interesting ideas from all the modders on this site. Would love to see a way to hook it up with a magnet in a puck shape that I could just sit it the car, place it on the charger with enough of an angle that I can see it while driving, and go.
This is how I had my old wireless charger for the Palm pre. Was nice because it was just strong enough to hold the phone at about a 45 degree angle (upside down) making it very easy to see. That is the thing I miss the most about the pre.

have you in your car those "typical american" cup holder between the front seats, nearby the gear shaft?
why don't try to remove and put the charger there?
I have enough space in my 2007 BMW 3 series just there, that's a cool idea
using fiberglass or some other filling materials to smooth the charger plate in the empty space

That would be a good idea but it makes it tougher to see when using GPS. I would have to look down away from the road as opposed to being on my dash with a quicker glance.

I was thinking of trying this same thing. I have this cheap mount from Walmart which I'm going to attempt to modify. I also have an extra one lying around in case I mess it up. I was looking at the charger in this thread, it looks like the board may be a bit smaller.
My plan is to just kind of dremel/drill/sand out a hole in the plastic of the mount, pop the charging coil in, and then cover it back up somehow. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Ok, so I uncoiled the wires a little bit and folded the coil over the circuit board. you can see how small it makes the whole thing. This may be the way to go for me. That would make it smaller than my phone so it can fit under it in the car mount.
Im considering magnets, but if I make it this small there will be no room for them. Plus because it will be inside the car mount, I don't think Ill need them. We'll see..

Here is my 'beta' version I did the other afternoon since I happened to have the parts just laying around...
Using this charger (pretty sure same as OP) with the iOttie XL and these magnets.
Going to make an improved version that is more compact now that I know what I'm dealing with. Will definitely document the build of Ver. 1.0.
Changing up the charger and magnets, but keeping the iOttie XL. Using PlastiDip and Sugru for final appearance.

You guys stole my idea! lol. I posted a thread similar to this about a week ago. Didn't get very far though haha.
found a few items on ebay similar to this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-5V-Wirel...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item1e8334dd2b
I wonder if you were to solder off the qi coil and resolder one of these instead, if it would work? Reason being, because they are so slim, and I assume at 1mm thick, and being able to place in a phone cover with no noticeable difference, if it would help make it even thinner? im thinking at 1mm, perhaps it would be flexible as well?,

transmitter coils are thicker., receiver coils are thinner.

Buy the official nexus charger if you can. The magnets hold the phone in place just fine, been using it the past few days. The ideal solution in my opinion.

So to clarify, you are using the official Nexus charger as a car dock, and the magnets are strong enough for the phone not to fall off? Are you using a case?

Subscribed.
I have ordered an iBOLT xProDock (BB Z10) from Amazon.ca for 19.95, and a QI puck from ebay.
Not sure if there's enough space inside the xProDock body to accomodate the coil - we'll see.
amazon.ca/IBOLT-xProDock-Holder-Mount-Blackberry/dp/B00BPAHNQI

I might actually take the whole charging coil out of the case, but will need something to encase it with. Maybe some shrink tubing type of stuff, etc. Not sure what.
That way I can cut the case down to less than half and keep the circuit board in it. Then have the coil hanging out of the case but covered in something. Any ideas as to what I can use?

I was thinking of using a black plastic divider like you get with some binders, two pieces cut to size of coil/circuit board and using electrical tape to seal the two together.

If you buy an official Nexus wireless charger ( https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_wireless_charger&hl=en ), just figure out how to mount that in your car. That's what I'm going to do in my Jeep. The magnets in the charger are plenty strong enough to hold the phone over bumps.
Edit: You could probably just cut the ball in half at the end of a suction cup mount (the pivot point for where the suction cup arm connects to the phone cradle) and gorilla glue the charger to the now flat half ball.
In my Jeep I'm going for a more permanent solution of gluing the charger to a phone cradle mount/bracket that bolts into the jeep. It's too easy to reach into my Jeep and grab a windshield mount.

It sure does, but it costs almost $100.

Best Car Mount I've used yet...and it's $7.

Hey folks,
Not sure if you're familiar with monoprice, but if you aren't...you should be. I've been buying things like tv mounts and audio cables from them for a LONG time now...since back when HD TVs first came out and people would want $200 for a wall mount and another $100 for an HDMI cable.
Anyway, I was looking for some filler the other day, when I bought a new tv mount and needed to hit a certain point to use a coupon and wandered past their cell phone car mount. I had been kicking around the idea of getting the official Motorola unit for a while now, but the price always threw me off.
Well, the Monoprice unit is $7.05. And it works AWESOME! Fits the phone like a glove.

Anyway, just wanted to share. I've been through some universal docks in my day, and they usually suck after a while. And then my wife and I share a car, but my phone is caseless and hers has a case, so the official one was kind of up in the air.

Looks nice, thought i would share the one i am using right now
http://www.shopandroid.com/aduro-u-grip-universal-car-mount/3AA14505.htm
I found it locally, but for the same price.
I love this thing, it grips the device great, and the suction cup will go almost anywhere you want. I have mind suctioned to the top of my dash of my 08 dodge caliber. Even tho the dashboard is textured with some pretty deep ridges it sticks great!
Only con i would give it is that the grip is a little too tight, making one hand operation difficult. you can remove the device from the mount with one hand, however installing the phone into it usually requires use of your second hand to open the drip far enough. However it is a comfort knowing that it moto x isn't going to fall out.

Thanks. Do you think it would fit with a rugged case, like Otterbox Defender or Seidio Dilex?

My local Costco was selling a 2 pack of mounts that looked identical to this for $25 (after $5 instant savings) about 2 months ago. I'm not sure if they still have them, but of they do they aren't prominently displayed.

I think it would fit, actually.

Has it fallen off on you?

Hey folks,
Not sure if you're familiar with monoprice, but if you aren't...you should be. I've been buying things like tv mounts and audio cables from them for a LONG time now...since back when HD TVs first came out and people would want $200 for a wall mount and another $100 for an HDMI cable.
Anyway, I was looking for some filler the other day, when I bought a new tv mount and needed to hit a certain point to use a coupon and wandered past their cell phone car mount. I had been kicking around the idea of getting the official Motorola unit for a while now, but the price always threw me off.
Well, the Monoprice unit is $7.05. And it works AWESOME! Fits the phone like a glove.

Anyway, just wanted to share. I've been through some universal docks in my day, and they usually suck after a while. And then my wife and I share a car, but my phone is caseless and hers has a case, so the official one was kind of up in the air.

Hey @SubliminalME, I recently picked one of these up, it does fit very well. Problem is that it either blocks the headphone jack or the charging port, depending on which way you put the phone in the mount. Have you found a way around this?

i bet you could drill a hole in the single mount pretty easily.
the better question (for me) is whether the phone can be positioned in the mount without blocking the camera. a windshield mount is only useful to me if i can use the camera. otherwise, it's going in a cupholder.

The Monoprice one is showing out of stock!! :/

I ordered two of these and they came in the other day. Surprisingly, it fits well with the Seidio Dilex case. My concern was that there wouldn't be room for the integrated kickstand on the back of the case, bit there's just enough room for it.
I have an adhesive mounted Garmin-compatible ball (~17mm) on my dash that works perfectly with it.

i've got mine, but haven't taken it out of the box yet!

In for one
Thanks for the heads-up! Always have loved Monoprice and I can't bring myself to go the imagnet route (ie pop off the back) on the X. This should be a nice cheap compromise, especially since I already have the garmin ball installed in both my cars.

The best that I've ever used is the Tetrax Xway. PRevents the phone from overheating by clipping in front of the A/C, and works with nearly every phone/case combo. I've used it through my Droid Incredible, Galaxy S2, and Galaxy S4 GPE with numerous cases.

S4 Active car/ bike/ Motorcycle holder (dedicated)

Hi all,
just e tip: a dedicated carholder for this phone is ahrd to find and a little expensive if i'm honest.
if you search for a dedicated carholder form LG G2 on Ebay or such, this will do just aswell. mind you, with a little creative puzzling.
the size between these phones is comparable....not EXACTLY the same.
i've taken a light and heated the corners and the 'clipping and unclipping thingy' without the phone in it one by one.
After heating, fitted the phone in and pressen on the each corner-part and pushed the holder around it.
It fits pretty good and will not snap out easliy.
be careful after applying a heat source......ths plastic can be VERY HOT. insert phone and press it onto a surface.
no promises on the result ofocurse.....just thought i'd share it........

I just wanted to add that I went a different direction with this, and it works great.
I bought a http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Samsung-Galaxy-Active-Unicorn/dp/B00DY2SEFE
Then I bought the quadlock mounts
The adapter for the phone
http://www.quadlockcase.com/products/universal-adapter
then bought the bike mount
http://www.quadlockcase.com/products/quad-lock-bar-mount-pro
and car mount
http://www.quadlockcase.com/products/quad-lock-car-mount
I attached the universal adapter to the back of my phone (easy easy compared to the otterbox stuff out there, since unicorn beatle case is uniformly flat already, it is why i chose it)
Now i attach it to my bike/car when I need to, and it doesnt make it too much bulkier. I actually have 2 cases, one with and one without the adapter, and I switch them out if I am going to go biking, or on a long trip where I might use the GPS.

there are really stable BikeMounts from Upmove:
