Hi there,
Considering the huge size of the phone, not all car phone holder work with it.
I bought this one from AliExpress:

Cobao brand, around $6, no problem at all, it's big enough for the Mi Max 2, even with a case. I'm using a very slim case, but there is plenty of room for a regular case.
I only buy holders that can "grab" the vent with a hook and a spring, those are very stable, so I didn't consider other options.
You can find it here (not sure if AliExpress store links works for long but just in case): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cob...Iphone-6-Plus-5s-For-Samsung/32714737459.html
Thanks for posting the tip!
I ordered one like that. This brand "Cobao" makes some really funky accessories. Even phone holders to fit into car CD drives.
I never used a mount that grabs the vent. Interesting concept. I'm always concerned the mount slips off.
Already had one mount that slipped off the mount, breaking my phone screen when it dropped on the shift stick

I picked one of these up a while back. It's big enough for the Mi Max 2, but a little too big for smaller phones. Depending on the car and who rides shotgun, it may be a good idea to grab a drill, some bolts, rubber washers, a sharpie, and a screwdriver to mount it properly.
I drive a tiny 97 Corolla, so the back seat was nonexistent to fit this in its intended position. I put it right through an aluminum plate used for supporting an optional "premium" stereo. It was premium for 97, I guess. Now head units are so proprietary that a phone is the best you can do for music in most cases.
Get the Baesues Gravity Lock Holders. They work great even on bumpy terrain unlike magnetic holders but still allow popin/popout usage.

I am after a mount which will clip onto a car vent and hold my Galaxy Note. Can anyone recommend any please?
I had the clingo car vent mount for a while and loved it. It didn't leave sticky residue but still held on the device by simply sticking it onto the pad. (yes, it really held it up quite well). However, due to the heat down here in Florida, the pad became overly sticky and began to deteriorate. So my recommendation would be to purchase the clingo if you live in an area that doesn't get too hot during the day, or you are able to bring it inside when you are not using it (it has a quick release on it).

I just ordered this (granted it will be used for my Galaxy tab 7.7), but I will report back when I get it.

$6 shipped. Worth a try.
I have this same one in car...works very well...I am looking for a good protective case tho and if it's a faff to take off the vent holder will be no good !!!!
cheerz

After a lot of head scratching, I use the Tetrax air vent mount. Worked fine with my HD2 and now my Note with a Case Mate tough case on - works brilliantly. The magnets do not affect phone performance.
Arkon has a vent mount that will work for the Note:

Thanks for all of those replies guys. I've actually ended up going for a Mountek 'CD Slot' mount due to many raving reviews around here in general car mount threads.
I have just received my clingo windscreen mount, and my first impressions are good. It needs pushing onto the windscreen pretty hard to get it to stick on, but once on it seems secure.
I had my phone on it and again you press it on but it wouldn't come off without pulling it off which is a good thing.
It doesn't work with a case on the phone, but without it it works pretty well and you can move it to any position you like.
Any questions on this then i'll try to answer what you need.
Can we see pics?
i used to have a clingo but it used to get dust and other particles on it too quickly which meant i had to wash it often which then became a hassle because id be all ready to out, jump in the car and my phone would barely stick or it fell when i hit a speedbump and obviously im not going to turn back just to give the holder a wash...so for the remainder of the trip the holder is useless, it works as good as new when you wash and leave it to dry i just dont want to have to get into a routine of washing my phone holder...its been sitting in my glove box for a few months now lmao
ive been using the Arkon Mobile Grip Mini Windshield Mount, works well and isnt an eye sore i really like it

apparently you shouldnt leave the clingo mount in the sun for too long either, i didnt use my clingo for long enough to go through any real hot situations but i did find this on google
http://jamoi.co.uk/temp/nokia5230clingo.jpg
i found that the clingo mount left sticky crap on my phone after a while of it being on there(it seemed that the hotter the phone got, the more crap it left behind), it didn't start doing this until about 2 weeks after purchasing.
i returned it and got one similar to the above - exogear exomount - its a great product.
use to have a clingo to is was ok but not that great
this is 100000 times better http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/Exogear...-iPhone-GPS-Android-Blackberry-/140746791937?
using it for 1.5 year now best mount ever
I'm looking to find a Dock that I can use in the car. Unfortunately I have not used one since my old D1 days, and am way out of the loop as to what the good ones are. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I use this one.

i wish these case making companies would make mounts too.
i don't want to use a poorly made, time consuming universal grip on my phone because it has a case on it.
recently bought a mountek universal based on high reviews and testimonials. seriously though, that product is a joke. the grip is not strong and the mount has an inherent design flaw... it is designed to literally seperate by putting pressure between a cd slot or dash seems and the screw to make it tight WILL jack up what you are putting it in. i returned it.
otterbox cant make a mount that fits its line of cases? i have a commuter case and i wish there was a specific mount for it
i have a couple ideas to get one, but it would cost me several hundred dollars and lots of time.

Bought the Original HTC Car Dock from HTC, bit pricier than i would like ( almost 35 from amazon.de) but i have to say that its great. The fact that the recharge cable is attached to the dock and charges every time you put them in the case is really practical.

I like this. And the fact that it would support my case is even better.
If you have an OtterBox Commuter on your One, and a spare dash mount cradle for a Garmin Nuvi GPS(mine was a 205, I think...), your phone will snap into the cradle like it was MADE FOR IT.
I discovered this because my Nuvi died, and after I took it out of the cradle, I was thinking to myself, "this doesn't look that much wider than my One...". And sho-nuff, the One snapped right in.
Perfect for using it for Google Maps, but also just about anything else hands-free, and a perfect dash-cam if I ever get pulled over by some crooked cop! Enjoy!
can you order the mount separate? I've been looking for a dash cam mount, but most of the universal ones are too bulky and I feel like they'd "un-class" the interior of my car haha.

Here you go dude, found it on Amazon in 15 seconds!

I'm telling you guys, it's fantastic. I'm getting a UAG case in a couple days, anxious to see if it fits that, as well.
This mount below also works great with cases. I have a commuter case and a dodge ram so dash is long and windshield to far away to use short mount like OP listed.

Ya its $20 bucks, could prolly find cheaper elsewhere but it is very sturdy, not a cheesy cheapy!!
I just tried it out and you're right! It fits perfectly! Thanks for the tip!

I use RAM mounts and their x grip cradle for my phones. Very stable even during 1g cornering forces on track days.
This is a review of a carholder from Havit - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013E5WWZ8
Personally I don’t use car holders very often as they tend to be rather unreliable and cause lots of vibration, and therefore I really paid some attention to the one from Havit. The product itself came in a box that looks very similar to the ones that Havit usually use, and inside the box there was a manual and the card holder itself.
The car holder itself is a very solid one and it’s quite heavy and big compared to other models I’ve tested out in the past. On the bottom of the holder there’s a piece of sticky rubber that you stick to the window of the car, and then all you’ve got to do is to spin the little wheel around for a bit. After installing it it’s very hard to pull it off, but there’s a small rubber flap at the bottom that makes it easy to remove it.
The car holder is quite resistant against vibrations due to its construction, and it feels very solid as well compared to other models that often tend to have quite sketchy quality. The clamp that holds the phone is rubberized so there’s no need to worry about it scratching your phone, and it stays snug in there.
This car holder has many advantages but there’s one thing that some might find annoying, and that’s the size; it’s a bit big and bulky but the added size makes up for it with all the features it offers. Overall, I like this car holder and it’s surely a product that’s worth having a look at.
Note that the product was sent to me for free in exchange of this review, but that does not affect my opinion or reviews in any way.
