I asked ProClip if they were making a clip for the HTC 10. This was their response...
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in ProClip products.
Unfortunately, due to the extremely large number of devices released every year, we cannot make holders for them all.
Currently there are no plans to make a holder for the HTC 10. However, this may change depending on customer demand going forward.
We can add your name to our list of customers who are interested in this holder. If we get a large enough response we may reconsider making a holder for your device.
In the meantime we do have several adjustable holders that may work for your device.
You can find those items here: ProClip Universal Holders - http://www.proclipusa.com/mobile-device-holders/universal-holders/universal-phone-holders.aspx
Each product page has the dimensions the holder will accommodate. Please take good measurements of your device with any case you might be using; this will help you to select the best ProClip Universal holder for your device.
Please feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have.
Best Regards,

I'm not saying ProClip is good or bad. They are really expensive, but I'm a bit obsessed with their clip for my car that snaps into the dash and provides a solid mounting point just above the vent. My M8 always overheats with my current setup with a windshield mount. I tried a vent style mount, but it just doesn't stay put in the vent.
I love ProClip and have been using them in my vehicles since my Droid Incredible days.
They always say this response up until they release the product. My guess with a phone like the 10, they will definitely launch one. Just hang tough
+1. Considering there is an article on the HTC 10 on the Proclip blog, I'd be surprised if they didn't come out with one. Also, it may be more useful to ask Brodit directly. Brodit designs the holders and then it becomes available via Proclip here.
Just emailed Brodit UK re an HTC 10 mount and this was the reply:
Brodit are going to manufacture one and this will be available around 4 weeks after Brodit receive a device. As the handset is due for release in May I would expect these to be available at the beginning of June.
I will add your details to the list of customers who are interested in a holder for the HTC 10 and will update you when these are available.

Sweet. Do these ever get cheaper? Is there any history of a sale when a new part comes out?
I took an old proclip non-case holder from an older HTC phone (kickstand one) that was too tight heated it with a hair drier and expanded it with a C-clamp, perfect fit.
Edit: Brodit Item No. 511403
I've had Proclip in my various cars and for various phones.. A suggestion would be instead of purchasing the custom holder for the phone we have, would be to buy the universal holder. I've used the universal holder for a Nexus 5, moto x 2013/2014, OnePlus 1+2, Nexus 6, Nexus 6p, HTC m8, and LG g4 in no particular order :silly:, and all fit perfectly! The only thing that needs to be custom is the mount that fits onto your dash!

Is this confirmed information?
I emailed Brodit SE a week ago, asking the same thing.
Their answer:
- Som det ser ut nu så har vi inget planerat till denna enhet.
In English:
- As it looks now, we have nothing planned for this unit.
Well, that was a copy of the message they sent me. Not sure how I can confirm that it is correct info.... I hope it is correct otherwise I will order a universal mount from them.
Yeah, I got a similar response from Brodit SE a bit over 3 weeks ago.
They're "looking into it" but can't promise anything, said he'll inform the product manager (eg add another one interested on the list).
If Brodit doesn't make one, I'll probably look into RAM Mount. (edit: not the x-grip of course..)
I just use an iottie mount myself..
maybe there is usb c proclip mount for another device that may fit.
i use an adjustable iPhone 6 clip... it works well. Use on my Nexus 5X as well, just loosen, adjust and retighten.
I'm using this. Perfect for my needs.

Thanks for the tip. I've ordered one of these from Amazon and will check it out. I have a Spigen A201 mag mount vent type and it just falls out of the vent in my Prius. Hopefully the Airsnap will hold better. The Prius (gen2) vent pivots both horizontally and vertically so it's a bit of a crap shoot but I figure maybe one of the support clip things will help to stabilize it.
The good news is the strong magnet doesn't appear to affect the HTC 10 like it did the M8. The M8 would trigger the Dotview case mode, but the HTC 10 Iceview sensor seems to be very low on the phone so putting the mag mount in the center doesn't trigger it.

I am looking for one in the USA as well. Proclip USA claims that they will have the Passive holder soon, but haven't gotten a definitive answer from them. None of the UK shops appear to be able to ship outside of the US, so I guess we are stuck waiting for Proclip USA to get them. Because the Jasjar is not really a USA device, I'm sure they are not in any hurry to get them in.

Heh heh, nice find!!
So how does this clip function.
Do you slide the Universal in, or do you kind of clip it in.
Is the power cord attached to the clip and you just slide it down in to the usb port, or is the wire just dangling all over the place when it's not connected.
I hate multi action holders and dont want something where i have to use both hands and a foot to get it in place.
I go in and out of my car many times a day, so it should be easy and without hassle.
I can live with the fact that i have to use a BT GPS, even though i love my BA holder having the GPS integrated, ooohh and what other choises are there out there.....none :?
Like you, bosjo, I've become accustomed to having my bluetooth GPS receiver powered via a wired link to my old M2000 active cradle. Having juice supplied to both M2000 and BT GPS meant I could never get lost.
I'm hoping in due course these Brodit M5000 cradles will also allow power to be supplied to BT GPS otherwise it's going to be a mess of wires in my car!

Damn it twonk - JUST ordered my clip and active holder and then read this post....stupid stupid me.
Anyway - was only £2 more.
The cheapest Brodit ProClip I could find was http://www.carkitonline.co.uk
£17.12 total (13.62 on its own) so pretty good!
CarKitOnline have got O2 Exec holders in and is actually cheaper than HandNav - you need to phone them because the phone is not listed on the website yet.
Coming up to three weeks now waiting for my active holder from mobilefun
Avoid like the black death in my personal opinion
Why dont you just call them and ask them what their problem is. Did they mention that the delivery time is less than that? I am sure ordering from Brodit direct would have been much better.
Yeah they do seem a bit unresponsive...they sent me out a screen protector and a cigarette adapter within a day but my leather case and brodit holder is still 'out of stock'. I phoned them and they gave me a date of 18th...so try phoning them and they will tell you when more stock is coming in.
IN the end i cancelled my brodit holder from them and brought it from handnav (who were supplying the clip anyway) for cheaper .
Still waiting for the leather case though..........
Unversaldoc - how much is the brodit holder direct from them? Surely they will charge more!!
They keep saying stock is arriving, that date comes and no stock, same again this morning, think i was told new stock was coming on 16th Dec and another lot coming 19th Dec so i should definitely have it before the 21st.
Best bit is you pay postage for 2-3 day delivery muuuhaaahaaha
Trouble is the wifes bought me it on her plastic as a stocking filler so i dont want to bug her for her card again, you know how they growl
Hi All,
I sell the Brodit kits and know that Brodit had a severe quality control issue with the charging leads on the active charging cradles, which meant they had to go back to the drawing board and get new leads shipped in from their supplier, hence long delays.
I still have stocks of the all Xda Brodit ranges inc. the Exec in stock if anyone is interested. Please PM me.
Seems a shame that no one told you all of the delay though.

@Cut,
Costs around £60 for the holder and the pro-clip not including delivery costs. I agree, they are expensive compared to the other resellers but they are dependable and have fantastic support. Personally, i wouldn't mind paying the extra £10 just for the quality of support and feedback

I'm going to need one of these when my Artemis arrives within a couple of days. Not sure but i think that it comes with a holder for the car in the box. Anyway just wanted to say that you should stay away from the holders that attach to the heating vents of the car. My unlce who works for Cisco Systems told me that they have been flagged by his company because it apparently is not good for the device.Not sure if this is true but just wanted to give this community a heads up on this one. I say you go for the suction holders.

The P3300 comes with a car holder, which looks very much like the brodit holders oddly enough...
Also comes with a windcreen suction mount and a natty HTC car charger (witch shiny chrome HTC embossed on it)
You only get the car charger, windscreen mount and 512MB Transflash card with the Premium version (this is the one with full TomTom mapping included) - well thats what the manual states, I got all three "extras" with mine - Mike
I didn't get any accessories with my device. I just got the base unit with the manuals, etc. I need a car mount.

Brodit holder for UK O2 XDA Orbit
The Orbit is basically an Artemis with a redesigned shell....
Does anyone know if the Orbit will fit into an Artemis / Brodit holder?
Cheers
Chris
hi
the orbit usb port is located slightly differently to the P3300 i believe it is only millimeters out but could make a difernence. I heard Brodit were making a holder specific to the Orbit for that reason.
Re comments above about vent holders i used one for 2 years with a IPAQ 5550 and had no issues at all.(infact in the summer it was a bonus as the ai con helped keep the device cool)
I find they are not so suitable for the Orbit as the clip/holder that is stuck to the device is not Orbit friendly.and if i use the clip that came with the Pdair case it hangs forward.
i use a suction mount with the side grip bars and it works great with the PDair case.
Well I have the brodit mount for the Artemis and it works well with the Orbit. It arrived after I read this post and I was aware it might not fit exactly so I gently bent the connector on the mount and it now fits perfectly and I am more than happy with it.
I am now just awaiting the brodit pro clip to attach it to the dashboard over the air vent. As I do not want to leave the screen mounted holder in the car due to last attempted break in!
Just to confirm only gentle pressure is needed to align the connection to fit perfectly to the Orbit so well worth the money in my opinion.

Yeah, that's pretty much Proclip's deal. They do make phenomenal products, but they charge phenomenal prices too.
One saving grace is that they sell the car mount portion separate from the device grip, so you can buy the car side once and just swap the device side out as you move from phone to phone.
I love the mount I have, but I'm not 100% sure as to whether I think it was worth the cost. If it was maybe 2/3rds to 3/4s the price, I don't think I'd have the same reservations, but at this price point, I'd do some serious looking at universal mounts before dropping the change on a ProClip rig.
I found a Car Mount on eBay for $7. eBay item #: 400148176134 (Enter the number in eBay search, I'm a new member so I can't post links). The eBay merchant (sak.gaming) is based in Hong Kong and it probably is going to take two weeks for the thing to get here (I live in Edmond, Oklahoma, US), but it seems like a good deal. It says the mount is for the HTC Aria/Liberty (We know the Liberty is HTC's code name for the Aria), yet the picture shows the HD Mini. It has been confirmed that the HTC HD Mini and Aria are basically the exact same phone, just one has WinMo and the other is Android. The plus side to the mount I found is that it could also be used as a desk mount, I will report back when I receive the mount. (Ordered on 8/28, could take two weeks)
Aria / HD Mini Accessories
The HTC Aria/Liberty/Intruder/A6366 is the exact same form factor as the HD Mini (and the hardware specs seem identical - only difference is the OS). Anyway, I found this distributer's site that has car mounts, desk docks, adapters, etc.
www<dot>netimes<dot>com/shop/htc-dopod-htc-hd-mini-c-80_754.html?page=1&sort=20a
Desk docks on the first page and car mounts on the second. I haven't ordered any nor have I ever ordered from the distributer, but their prices are pretty cheap (have not checked on shipping).
Now if only the Aria had audio outs through its usb port, but I don't think that is the case since HTC got so much negative feedback on their extUSB jack that was also used for a headphone out.
Let me know about the quality if anyone orders from here.

I'm using an Arkon vent clip mount... $15 shipped from Amazon, and is a lot more solid than I imagined.
Let me know if you want pictures.
What is the model number of the Arkon you bought at Amazon?
The Arkon car mounts that I found are universal phone mounts. One product holds just about any device. The Arkon website lists most of their products for $20 and that is what I paid for one from Best Buy. I ended up returning it because the vent clips were cheap plastic and they broke off inside the vents. That one was not Arkon, but was very similar. Hopefully yours is more substantial.

Mine seems to hold up fairly well.
SM429-SBH is the model of the one I purchased... but there are many on the market and I chose a vent mount as I drive an older compact car... (2000 Subaru Impreza)
I took pics for one member and will post them shortly, after dinner.
I guess a thank you is in order. A wee bit off topic, but Arkon is the only company I've found that makes a mount specific for the TomTom XL, called the easy port. I've had mine for at least a year and have broken the flimsy POS suction ring mount TomTom gives you. Arkon makes a pretty substantial looking EasyPort mount. Amazon has it for $9.99. I ordered it; if it is worth a darn, then it says something about the rest of their products. So thank you ioft for pointing my curiosity in the right direction, so that I stumble upon the solution to a problem I've had for a few months ($119 decent GPS unit I can't use).

NP! I hope it works out for you.
Pics! Excuse the messy car. The mount is adjustable in terms of phone fitment and swivel. The bottom "feet" can also be slid out of the way of the charge, microphone, and lanyard ports. The side "grips" and bottom "feet" also have cushions on them to prevent scratches and such. I've also included a video showing that the phone is secure in the mount, and the "creaky" sound you hear is my vent... car is old -- it's a 2000 lol.

The one I own ("dock") isn't a true dock in the sense of connectivity & screen control. It just holds the phone. Navigation/Maps app keeps the screen on.
I ordered the arkon SM429-SBH, directly from manufacturer for $21.95, never received. I attempted contact several times, and will likely have to file a payment dispute.
I did however purchase the same unit from Amazon, $14.88 when I combined other items (from filleritem.com), to get to 25$ for free shipping. The dock seems somewhat wobbly at first, but when you finally get it situated, gravity and the click grip thing work very nicely together. I have an audio input cable for my head unit that I wired up around the top to plug into it, and my power cable wraps around the audio cable (curly cord), so that it hangs nicely below where the phone sits. I may post pictures if anyone is interested.
Please do not try to order this product directly from Arkon.

Just got the same email. In stock, but you'll end up dropping just over $70 for the whole she-bang... ouch.
I had one of these ProClip holders for my old HTC Advantage, and it worked quite well. I just took off the standard mount on the back and attached a RAM mount.
I'll be curious to hear from anyone who gets this, as I'm curious how the mount would hold up rotated in landscape mode. I'd like to use it on my motorcycle for navigation.
Just ordered mine. I have had ProClip holders since my HTC 8525, Tilt, iPhone 3g, and Tilt2. Currently using an adjustable holder intended for 3G with slim case with my Captivate and Body Glove rubberized case. Works well but over time the adjustable screws loosen, but it did hold device after 74 y/o driver hit/spun me @ 70mph on I-95. I expected to find it somewhere else, but when I got to the shoulder it was right where it should be .......excuse me 911..... "please hold" ; ) It will be here before that driver's shady insurance company owns up to FHP citation and fixes my car
OUCH

For those of us that already have a ProClip mount, $35 is not too bad. I, however will be waiting to see what they do with the charging model.
ProClip Captivate Active Mount
The active mounts are on the ProClip site now; $79.99 for the hardwire kit, $59.99 for the lighter plug-in model. If you don't have a mount, add another $29.99.
Assuming that the Otterbox Defender belt clip can hold the Captivate backwards as well as it could my old iPhone, I'll be getting one of the generic mounts that accepts a button or clip so that I can use one of these mounts without removing my case. That way, I can rotate my phone into landscape view and use car home and Navigation easily.

Anybody heard of this new car mount yet?
Steelie Mobile Device Holder
They also have an iPad tabletop stand.
Just ordered the car kit cause It looks like a great product. I love this idea!!!
The best thing is that if you send them your case. They'll punch a hole in it so that the magnet can mount straight to the phone and is a little more discrete.
They were originally on Kickstarter and almost doubled their goal.
Just wanted to post/support a (what seems to me like a great product) that is MADE IN THE U.S.A.
What do you guys think?
And no I am not affiliated with them in any way.
*****Update 5.16.12*****

That's unfortunate. Did you try to email them to see if they can help you with possibly offering different shipping options?
Saw these guys at a small town fair in Louisville, CO a week ago. Looked like a good product and the guys who own the company were very enthusiastic and helpful. I specifically asked about GPS interference etc. and they said they'd evaluated several phones with no issues.
I also expressed concern about the size/thickness of the engagement point on the phone and they said that they were working on a lower profile version.
Would really like to see these guys do well. Another small business emerging from middle-class America. Gotta love that.
Similar idea to tetrax, but may be easier to find a mounting spot since it looks like it doesn't need the same sq inch spot if you're not using the vent mounted version.
Wow, this is awesome and perfect for my needs! Just went in for one!
I have a window mount currently but it's a pain if I want to rotate it at all because you have to loosen the ball joint and then tighten it back up. And it's almost impossible to do it with the phone in the holder while keeping it at the angle you want.
That, and the suction cup will fall off from time to time. I've also gotten "yelled at" by a cop for having it up as well, so this will "obstruct my view" way less!
This is so much simpler to use, even though it will add a slight bit of bulk.

Anybody heard of this new car mount yet?
Steelie Mobile Device Holder
They also have an iPad tabletop stand.
Just ordered the car kit cause It looks like a great product. I love this idea!!!
The best thing is that if you send them your case. They'll punch a hole in it so that the magnet can mount straight to the phone and is a little more discrete.
They were originally on Kickstarter and almost doubled their goal.
Just wanted to post/support a (what seems to me like a great product) that is MADE IN THE U.S.A.

Thanks for posting about this here, Iv been researching this product everywhere that I can, but its a hard product to find info about, and whats even worse is that the company has not returned my calls or emails in 3 days since contacting them. Either way I found the steelie product on sale here and I already bought it. http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/ST_C.html and now Im hoping it can be used with my galaxy note i717. Now this is a big phone, probably the biggest and heaviest on the market and im worried it will not work. Does anyone know if my phone will work? Also the steelie on this website looks different than all the other steelie pictures iv found, is the one I bought an older or newer version of the steelie? I already contacted 123 ink cartridges and they assured me that its not counterfeit.
Let us know how the thing feels with a big ol', honkin' magnet on the back of it. I'm intrigued, but think having a magnet the size of a 50-cent piece on the back of my GNex would make my having a pretty custom case rather pointless.
The site also says it doesn't interfere with NFC. I'm dubious and would love to hear from some third parties.

NEVER MIND! the one i bought was a counterfeit... lame. oh well im getting a refund on it.
Any updates?
I see that they offer the Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket for purchase by itself, but dont see it listed for sale anywhere. Would be nice for different cell phone uses that drive the same car. I guess you could always mount it to a easy to swap out phone case if you have the same phone as other users.
