can anyone recommend me a cheap £15 or less suction mount car holder. I have looked at some on ebay and i am concered with the way some lock the HD2 in it may get damaged. thanks
suction mount
try cellphoneshop.net thats where I get mine the one with the photo frame for my tilt when I'm susing it as gps works great.
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;

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:

You probably could also use this one:

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.
Hi!
I've bought a new bumper (SPG Spigen Ultra Lumi Bumper).
Now I need a new car mount, because my old one does not fit with the bumper.
Any suggestions for new car cradle?

The ibolt car dock is great. Works with or without a case. Does not work with the defender.

How thick are the adhesive plates protruding from the case? can you post a pic?
Its about 5 sheets of copier paper. Very thin. A lot thinner than a credit card.

I've been using the iOttie one touch mount. There's a newer one that just came out called the Easy Flex 2 but I've been using the original one called Easy One Touch. Best car mount I've used. There's a button on the dock plate that when pushed in the 2 arms grab onto the phone and it's pretty secure. To remove it just squeeze the 2 buttons on the side of the mount and the arms open up and the phone pops out.
It's not a powered dock so you have to plug in your adapter straight into the phone. Most times if my phone is fully charged I don't plug it in and it's a very clean look.
I keep an NFC sticker by the dock to turn on GPS and car mode so with this mount everything is just so quick. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

I just bought this too, haven't got it yet, but it looks like a nice mount for sure.

I found a cheaper version of the clingo mount http://dx.com/p/long-tube-car-stand-holder-for-iphone-samsung-htc-blackberry-black-156661 and ordered it to give it a try. Hopefully it'll be as sticky as the original and works with any case with smooth surface.
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:

its so minimal and awesome. goes right on my air vent for close access. I use it in landscape and just have to press down with my phone to put it in and out

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!

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.

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.
would be interested in something good to use with Fire Phone while navigating (and possible video registrator as well)
Because 300+ have viewed with no response I guess I will...lol. I think any holder that gets good reviews would work!
I am using a Mountek nGroove Snap 3 Magnetic mount, it goes in the cd slot. I use the large metal plate inside my case between the layers. I am using this case:
i-Blason Amazon Fire Phone Case- Armadillo Series 2 Layer [Ultra Slim]
Search both of those at Amazon to see pics.
Heavy phone it moves around a bit, but hasn't fallen off. I use the same setup with a Galaxy Note 2 with an extended battery which is pretty heavy, and it only fell off once or twice.
I use the Aduro U-GRIP PLUS Universal Dashboard Windshield Car Mount for Smartphones. Got it on Amazon for $10 and it works very well. Takes both hands to put the phone in it, but once it's in it stays put. An added bonus is that the actual holder part can be attached to the ball mounts that come with Garmin GPS (which I already had), so it can be used with any Garmin type holder (look at the last pic on Amazon to see what I mean).
Just got the Magnetic Phone Mount Suction Technology By Gizmount from Amazon. It was on a lightning deal so I grabbed it. Has the same Garmin type holder like the one above but uses a magnet to hold the phone. It works really well and doesn't take two hands to put the phone on or take it off.
I too use a magnetic holder that attaches to the CD holder. I love it. I also bought a $5 magnetic suction cup holder and use it at my desk. Works so great! I also did a little modding of the Amazon charger so it is magnetic too and I can just stick my phone to it to charge (I plan on writing up the howto for this soon). If anyone wants more info/links, let me know.
