Car case/dock?

Can anyone recommend a car dock that works with a dashboard beanbag, so I can avoid doing the windshield suction cup?

I'm using the Verizon branded iGrip dock that I got from the Verizon store with my corp discount, it comes with a plastic disk you can stick to your dash if you don't want to put it on the window. I'm pretty sure if your beanbag mount has a similar disk on it that the dock would work with that. If you want I can try to snap a few pics later after work and post them up here.

Clingo Car Mount
Anybody ever seen or used one of these? Im going to go pick one up tomorrow just kinda wanted to know what they were like ahead of time.

Has anyone found a mount that works with a case, say the Seidio case?

You could check out Ram Mounts. You can basically make your own holster for any device and pick how you want to mount it. They even make aviation mounts which is perfect for those of us who are pilots.

Can anyone share a link to a good one for extended batteries.

If you can't use windscreen suction mount, than have you looked into Brodit holder mounted on ProClip? Keep in mind that most ProClips are designed for mobile phones, thus it may end up blocking instruments, vent, radio and so on as Xoom is much larger device.

Car dock that fits on 17mm ball mount (Garmin size ball mount)

I was wondering if anyone knows if any of the GS3 or universal car docks fit on a 17mm ball mount. This is the same size that some Garmin mounts use, and was also used with the T-Mobile G2X. I have a couple nice car mounts that I can use if I find a corresponding dock.

check out this clip;
youtube.com/watch?v=J0tR65xRld4

I saw that one, but I don't want to use a case. I will check how it works with the Nuvi mount I have just in case it does work.

Just use this adapter w/ the mount of your choice:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arkon-SP-SB-AMPS-KIT-AMPS-Conversion-Kit-for-17mm-Arkon-and-Garmin-Ball-Mounts-/360435691483?pt=GPS_Holders_Mounts&hash=item53eba42fdb
You probably could also use this one:
http://www.theaccessoryking.com/arkon-accessories/mounting-solutions/sm511-ipm511/slim-grip-smartphone-sun-visor-mount.html

Now that is an interesting piece. I'll keep it in mind.
What I'm working with is I just recently bought another Pro-Clip set for my G2x and my new car. Since I have a G2x dock that fits on the 17mm ball mount I just bought another Nuvi mount from Pro-Clip. An adapter from the ball mount to something else will mean there's four pieces involved, and that's a bit much. I could return the new ball mount and get a GS3 mount from Pro-Clip but I'll have to eat the shipping on that.

I didn't see that Arkon mount the first time I read your post. I'm ordering one now, thanks. I think it'll work nicely.

I got my Arkon mount yesterday and tried it out. I used one set of the extended legs and it holds the phone quite tightly and it mounts perfectly to my Garmin mounts. Thanks for the recommendation vw671.

So does this part (I guess Arkon SM511 / IPM511) come with a 17mm socket ? which we can use with the garmin ball mounts ?
I understand you bought this part removed the clip and used it with your existing/old 17mm ball mount...

I'll see if I can describe this accurately, you do have to be a bit careful. It seems that Arkon mounts are sold as a combination of 3 main pieces. There's the black back with the grips, the phone dock, that's part of every mount, some come with extended grips and some might not. For the S3 you need at least one pair of extended grips.
The second part is a bracket that slides into slots on back of the phone mount and has a 17mm socket on it. The third part is whatever mount your car needs, suction cup mount, air vent, or various other options. That has a 17mm ball on it.
I have seen some Arkon mounts for sale that appear to not have the socket portion. I bought a full kit with the suction cup mount.
This one shows a good view of the parts. On the suction cup mount is the clip that attaches to the back of the phone dock, that is needed. That one doesn't appear to come with the extended grips, so I wouldn't buy that one, but it does give you an idea of the parts.
I believe some Arkon mounts, which still use the same phone dock, forgo the ball mount and instead use a mount that attaches directly to the back of the phone dock.

[Review] Exogear Exomount Universal Car Mount

A car mount is just a car mount, right? How exciting can a car mount get?
I've been using over a dozen car mounts over the years. They all work fine.....initially at least. But all of them have one problem in common. They don't last. Either the flimsy plastic parts start breaking or more likely the suction cup becomes unreliable causing the mount to fall off the windshield at the most inconvenient moments.
I picked the Exomount because I read many good reviews about it but here at last was a car mount with a difference because it claims to do things that other car mounts can only dream about - it can mount on textured surfaces like a grained wood surface or the dimpled surface of a car dash. Many reviewers also claim that it can mount on slightly curved surfaces.
I bit the bullet and got the Exomount. True enough, it is able to do all that it claimed it can do. I had a fun time trying it on all kinds of surfaces. When it comes to actual usage, the Exomount gave me a lot more choices on where to to mount my phone/gps in my car. I no longer have to mount it on my windshield if I don't want to.
The clamping jaws of the Exomount may look a little basic and primitive but it is actually a pretty good feature. It allows me to swap devices easily without the need to make adjustments to the clamping mechanism. It also allows me to mount my phone on it without blocking the camera so I can use my phone as a dash camera if I want to.
Best of all, I have been using it for more than 18 months now and it still works like new. The suction cup has yet to fail me, not even once.
The Exomount is an amazing car mount and I highly recommend it. A more detailed review of the Exomount can be found at Exogear Exomount Universal Car Mount Review.

The Exomount has a limit of up to devices with 5" displays. I have tried it with a few other phones such as a couple of Blackberries, an iPhone 4S as well as my 3.5" Garmin GPS.

My Generic Knockoff

HTC One car mounts

Post your photos and reviews of car mounts for the HTC One.
I picked up one of these. It fits the One really well, it is easy to insert and remove the phone. The suction cup grips my dash really well, there is no way this thing is coming loose. The mount is not too large so it does not take up a lot of space on your dash and it is well made.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the iOttie mount it has over 3000 reviews on amazon.

I used to have that one. A good mount, solid, but too bulky in my opinion. I highly recommend this:

I have one in my car right now. It's awesome. It fits a Note 2 and still works with smaller phones like the One. The one handed removal and the auto closing feature is great to get the phone on the mount quickly.

This is the one I use, I got it on sale when it was around $15 and has served it's purpose well.
Unlike most dash mounts, this one goes into a CD player deck which I hardly use for CD's anyway. It locks in and it holds pretty secure.

i just bought one of these. it looks nice, but it wont work with a case on your phone. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121120265750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I have tried Iottie, Mountek before. Now I have been using Steelie and all I can say is that Steelie is the best car mount for me. It is really easy to use and it covers very little space on your dashboard or console. No vibration at all and it is really flexible that you can adjust any angle really easily.

I also have the car mount in the OP. It's awesome. I've had it for about two weeks now, and it hasn't budged.

I bought this one from Nokia.I thing this is the perfect car mount for HTC ONE !
Only 17 euro.

Wow I really love that car mount!! Thanks!

Integrated Charger
Any dock with integrated charger?
So far the only 2 options I saw were the stock dock, which doesn't work for me since I have a cover. and the iBolt, which is somehow universal and flimsy, I had the iBolt dock for my S3 and hated it.

I've use Proclip for years with my Galaxy Nexus. I just picked up a HTC One so I've got one of their mounts on order.

Kenu Airframe...

http://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-xProDoc...&qid=1374729518&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+one+ibolt
It' the same company that made the official sprint dock for the Evo LTE

I was browsing this a while ago and read about the Kenu Airframe. Ordered it last week. Shipped on monday and arrived today. Probably one of the most solid car mounts I've ever held for that price. Fits great even with a case and fits my circular vent perfectly. Was a bit skeptical because my vent is a bit recessed, but it worked out fine and is pretty damn solid. 5/5.

What a deal
Picked this up while browsing the clearance section in TJMax discount store. Made by "Digimaxx". Only paid $4.00!

I highly suggest the niteize steely also.

Ordered the airframe as well. Gotta agree it is solidly built and is alot smaller than what I imagined. I like how it can hold different devices and has enough pressure and grip so there will be no slipping. Great product and design.
