Garmin Nuvi windshield mount works

I was surprised how perfect the fit was so I had to post. No interference with any buttons. Not loose or tight at all. Best of all, IMO, no bulkiness. This forum has been very great in helping me decide on accessories for my new phone. Don't know if there is a way to get it by itself, but hope it can help. I am not allowed to post pictures in this forum yet but I posted them on PPCGeeks Epic Touch 4G Accessories forum. Will update this post with pics once I am allowed.

Yes, it fits perfectly with tpu case on or probably any case that is not too thick. I like it so much I ordered several to mount it at home and at work using the suction cup and disk. I got the $5 on Ebay that has all the mounting option. Without the phone and just the vent mount, it doesn't block the vent much either and it is easily removable.

$4 on amazon

awesome fine. i, too, have the 255w. though i use the dash mount. so its the perfect find for me, since thats what i wanted. gonna try it out.

Will it fix with just the phone without the case? I'm one of those that don't use case. Thanks.

I doubt it, doesn't seem it would be wide enough.... but I'll try to verify for you. in using the body glove case now, its a bit thinner than the toy and seems to just make it ok.

Can anybody post a details/links and pictures with phone in. Thank you.

Good wallet/diary style case?

I'm looking for a good book/diary/wallet style case for my new T-Mobile Galaxy SII. Something like the BookBook case for the iPhone:
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_iphone/
or this case for the international Galaxy SII:
http://www.bizwinkorea.com/tablet-p...ine-leather-diary-wallet-type-case-cover.html
I'd kinda want it to look like a leatherbound book, but that's not as important as it actually being leather. I do want it to have pockets opposite where the phone sits to hold money, cards, etc.
Anyone seen anything like this?

None? Nobody's seen anything like this?

Honestly bro I looked high and low for a case like this and it just isn't out yet. There's an OEM product called "Samsung d30 t989 leather slip cover" coming out sometime in the next few months that can be found with Google if you search the quoted phrase. The one case I found like what your asking turned out to be an incompetent eBay seller labeling **** for the international gs2 like it would work for ours.
Sent from my SGH-T989

eeeewwwwww.......
i don't like those cases, yes, they have their good uses, but... not my type
i can see many scenario and situation when & where i might want to use one, but it's not worth the cost
just search for something similar, you don't need an exact fit for those type of cases, look for another phone with similar size spec, and find it

any updates on this case?

bump for great justice. i really like the twelve south case

I've been looking at this

dont buy for talkietech or wirless age or something like that, they both dicked me around for two weeks and told me not in stock, there is a guy on ebay from hong kong that has stich color options for pd case, but i got the original from the website above

I ordered a "black Napa leather case" off Amazon. Nice quality but so thick it could hold 2 sgs2's and way too wide. Clearly not made for our phone.

This case is exactly what I want but it's only for iPhone and the measurements don't match.... our phones are too wide

I've been searching for the same thing. I found this one and I really like it. Although the camera and speaker holes are wrong. Might get it and try it out anyway..

The picture shows an iPhone but the description says it's for a galaxy s2. It's a bit on the pricey end and I'm not sure about the quality since it's not a genuine Twelve South. But they sold 12 of these so far without negative feedback.

I guess, given that there's no hole on the back for camera or speakers, it should work just fine. I don't know how much different our phone is from the original GS2.
Still, at $40, I guess I'd like to hear from someone who has my phone and has bought the case.

I emailed the seller and asked for some pics of the actual item. I'm sure it's an i9100, but here ya go. Looks nice none the less. I may pick one up.

I axially bought one of these and I really like it. It doesn't line up with the holes for the touch buttons perfectly, but my x-acto took care of that easily. Seems to be pretty good quality. I've been using it for about a month.

Brodit active holder for the S3

This looks really nice to have. I'm in sales and drive around all day long. Having a mount like this that will also charge would be great to have. Anyone have one, gonna get one or have previous experience with a different phone?

Some are talking about it in the car holder post .
jje

thanks JJ. I need to learn how to use this forum better! lol

I'm also currently looking at getting the active holder for the S3, currently have one for the HTC HD2 and it's been fantastic, much better than any of the vent mounts and windscreen mounts I've tried over the years!
However, my wife has just upgraded to the HTC One S, so I got the Brodit Active Holder for that phone and I'm just in the progress of sending it back! It is a poor fit for the phone and very difficult to align up the usb into the phone, possibly due to the usb being on the side of the phone. I don't have that problem with my HD2 with the usb being on the bottom and hopefully not with my new Galaxy S3 when it arrives!

I'll buy the fixed mount version if it works with a slim TPU case.

If it's anything like the one Brodit made for the HTC Desire HD, it's a perfect fit so it doesn't leave any room for a case. I loved it for the DHD but I think a really need a case for the S3, so I'm looking for something different this time.

Yeah, what Brodit/Proclip USA generally do is make perfect fitting holders leaving little to no room for cases. However, in very popular devices (iStuff for example) they make different variants suitable for different sized cases. Hopefully the GS3 will fall into this category in a couple months when it's in full force globally.
--edit-- just checked proclipusa and it appears they only make multiple designs for iDevices. Even the SGSII was a one design case. Hopefully all variants of the SGSIII will be the same dimensions and they will realize there is a market for a holder for this device with TPU and or other slim cases. But, I think your best bet would be a dremel lol.

Is The only way to get one of these right now form the UK? doesn't show a clip available for any of my vehicles.

You can check at Brodit's website who are the distributors in your country. Also, I don't think it's actually out yet, even in the UK.

Brodit S3 holder resistor?
Hello, I'm using my S3 really often in the car. I've made me a cable with the resistor to automatically activate car mode and enable full charging (bridge from USB Data+ to USB Data-) :good:
Now I found this really nice active car holder from brodit and want to know whether these mods are there, too? Or if there is any possibility to add them?

nice car holder for s3 with skin
This is what I have been after brodit holder for s3 with case on. http://brodit.se/product.html?id=512409&pn=prod&brand=Samsung&model=Galaxy S III i9300 hhopefully available soon.

I have the brodit active mount, although it was originally for an iphone 3gs, i just modified it slightly to fit my gs3.

I will post up the quick guide I have written and the photos when I have 10 posts. It was fairly easy to do, and the main reason I modded the iphone one is because A) I already had it and B) as far as im aware brodit dont make a dock which is adjustable to fit phones with cases for the gs3, whereas they did/do for the iphone.
Will post the guide when I have permission.

Need recommendations for Keyboard/Case combo for Note 10.1 (2012 Ed)?

I've spent the whole day researching on which keyboard/case to buy and to my conclusion, there's none that's exceptional in the market.
-Samsung's standalone keyboard has awesome reviews but it sucks that it's not embedded in a case.
-Belkin's version has horrible reviews on it
-The ones on amazon and eBay have issues with magnets interfering with S-Pen capabilities.
-The aluminum one also has horrible reviews
Not sure where to turn to, I'm a college student (pre-med) and I just got the Note recently because i love the multi-window function as it'll allow me to type the lecture/draw diagrams(anatomy etc.)
Does anyone here have any experience with a keyboard/case combo?
Thank you

There's a $99 bt model I've had my eye on for awhile. I want to say its a case logix or logitech. What makes it so great in my mind is the 4 corners are velcor attached (very strong velcro), plus 2 different types (tab thickness) for the corner pieces. I saw it at microcenter.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.

I agree, it's hard to find one that's worth anything. I managed to find one where I am now. It's OK and pairs using Bluetooth. You sometimes have to go back and tap a letter a second time, which for a college student, might not be the best thing. I have Swype on my tablet and it works just as well as a keyboard. That's what I use when I'm at work. Whatever you get, make sore you look at what holds it closed and go for Velcro. The one I bought had magnets and they were strong enough to distort my screen when I was using writing apps (S-Note, Papyrus, etc.).

My solution to this was just to use an apple bt keyboard with my samsung note. I have limited desk space in class and it really helps to be able to keep my keyboard in my lap. I just discovered this case while trying to figure out a way to carry my note and my bluetooth keyboard easily. Its designed for ipads and it was a bit of a squeeze but my tablet is nice and snug now and the s-pen is not blocked

Here are three models I am considering, two on eBay/dx and one at "TVC-Mall". Since I am a new user, I can't post links to them or pictures, but here's enough info to find them, I hope:
1) "Seenda"
On ebay - seller named globalsucceed01
Also on DX.
DX has it in several colors. It says it uses magnets, which some people have commented can be a problem. Cost is close to $30.
It says the keyboard is removable.
2) at TVC-Mall :"Ultra Thin Bluetooth Keyboard Leather Stand Case For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1"
Never bought from TVC-Mall, but web reviews are mostly good - they take PayPal, which provides some measure of protection. This one looks pretty sleek. Shipping is a mite expensive - brings total cost to about $31.
3) "Generic"
A seller named "wfei_shop" has it listed as "Bluetooth Wireless Case Keyboard Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 N8010"
This one has flap in front that looks like it might get in the way. On the other hand, it looks like the keyboard is removable. I've seen this in several colors, too. Cheaper - only $23
Anyone ever tried any of these? Anything to watch out for? Any opinions on any of them (from experience or reviewing the listings)?
Thanks!

Best power bank

Hello. I want to buy a strong power bank for laptops, emergencies, etc. I see these two:
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Krisdonia-60000mAh-External/dp/B07LBLQ9YY/
And:
https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-72000mAh-Portable-Generator-Technology/dp/B0791WDZTW/
Which one is better? I ask because is strange that the Renogy is extremely cheaper compared to the Krisdonia, but why?
Both look strong but which one is the best?
Thank you

iMuto power bank is best then other. Because it has big mAh battery saving and Two ports, 20,000mAh and affordable. It's worth $29.99 maybe cheap.

I like MI Power Banks. They are so powerful and effective. You must give them a try if haven't used it yet

I cannot see the prices, but usually if there's a big price difference it's fake, there's no precise way to quantify a battery size other that what the manufacturer says, so probably those 72.000mAh are probably fake, check the reviews on others website, maybe you'll find more info about

no price of the product you post.
I THINK no one want to buy it

If you are look for the cheaper versions of the same stuff that is on Amazon you better go to Aliexpress. Also I saw somewhere a nice list of cool looking powerbanks from there, for example a powerbank in shape of a hand grenade.. let me try to remember where I saw it..

Ok here I found that list I mentioned above: 33 nice looking Aliexpress powerbanks
I still incline on ordering the grenade one - but it would be a problem to travel with this one? Or TSA got used to things like those?
