Ordered this mount for my wife's car, I use a ProClip unit in my car, seems to work pretty well for what it is. Mountek has them available on Amazon every weekday at 07:00 PST, I ordered mine at 08:15 PST and there were only eight left. I paid $23.90 shipped (USPS first class). I am hoping that it will fit my HTC (with extended battery) as well as my wife's OG Droid. I am not too worried about blocking any radio controls while in use because they are all mirrored on the steering wheel. She was pretty adamant about having something that was removable, and I can't stand the windshield mounts that are available.
Anyone else have any experience with these?
(Here is the video from their site)
Here is the box from USPS, shipped received about a week after ordering. Included was the mount, a piece of adhesive foam, and small instruction sheet.
The mount seems to be built fairly well
This tabbed area inserts into the compact disc slot, then the knob is twisted to expand until "firm" The tabs are soft, so no marring the CD slot.
Here is the adhesive pad. The bottom rest is removable to work with a variety of electronics.
Here is my OG Droid mounted, and then the Vigor with the standard battery.
Here is the side profile with the standard battery cover. As a refresher here is the difference between the standard and extended battery covers...
Here is the mount without the bottom plate, holding the Vigor with the extended battery cover.
Here is me shaking it, with the extended battery, no problems with is falling out. Here is a top down view of the foam sides holding the Vigor.
I don't have my wife's car right now, but here is the mount in my Civic (06-11)...
To those unfamiliar, the Civic had a cd slot that is at a angle, here is with the mount installed.
Now with the Vigor installed (with extended battery) portrait and landscape.
Overall I think it is going to work well. I will update this review if I have any issues...
Goal: Find a mount which would support a larger phone or smaller Android based tablet to enjoy Torque1. This mount needs to firmly grip the device and not allow it to vibrate a tremendous amount. It would also be nice if it didn't look horrible and was easy to mount the phone properly/quickly.
Solution: EXOGEAR ExoMount Tablet S
This mount retails for $49.95, and I believe it was worth every penny. It is hard to sharp shoot its faults when it does such a good job of fulfilling my goal.
Its flexibility guarantees that I will be able to use it in the future with other devices. I shouldn't outgrow this product quickly.
Now enjoy my crummy video and pictures. Tested it with the Note 2, Galaxy S, and HTC One so far...

On the Galaxy S4, it would be easy to charge and access the power button. Not so much for the headphone jack. Bluetooth is the key for audio if using this mount.
The charge port is not in the center of the HTC One. It would have to be offset in order for the charger to be plugged in. You also can't plugin a 3.5mm headphone jack. Again, use bluetooth if possible. You wouldn't want the device to go into sleep as it would be hard to press the power button.

Fixed link.
NOTE: I had to go back and use the 3m disk today. It was really hot. This is not a design flaw as it was meant to be a part of the installation from the beginning. If it does fall off, I'm going to credit that to not cleaning the dash with an alcohol pad to remove the trace amounts of Armor All.
Anybody use it, please give some suggestion.

I use it on my S3. The charging speed is not that fast compared to USB, which I think is well-known. The back cover gets a bit warm also, and I have an Otterbox Commuter case as well, which gets a little bit warm also. It charges just fine through the case.
This is the one that I ordered, as it came with the charging pad and receiver for the phone.

Hope this helps!
I have one of the first gen receiver pads and it charges faster than USB but slower than AC.
check ebay. use search terms like "i9300 qi reciever"
just get the reciever pad.
the best charger pad imo is the nokia ones. they're regularly on sale from 20 -25 bucks for the most part. just do some searching online.

Any Wireless charging system or standard that has the two contacts to fit the contacts that are in the Battery compartment and fits will work....A wireless Standard isn't built into the phones, just the Transmitter and Receiver Coils....
QI wireless charging is nice... However I notice the connector from the QI receiver will interfere with the smart cover slot anyone?
look what i found^^

oh, and because i'm such a sweetheart:

18 bucks for a really decent charging pad. I have 2. one for my bed side and one on my desk.
This one works great with mine and I have the lifeproof case on it.

Of course you can not break yusb port, only one drawback - the phone longer charged
This is a review of a wireless charger from LDesign - http://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Wireless-Charger-Charging-Motorola/dp/B015S8TXJC/
So I've personally never bothered to use QI wireless chargers for my phone, and the only device I own that support QI is my smartwatch. After the charger for my smartwatch, Motorola Moto 360, did throw in the towel I was on the lookout for a decent one to replace it. I came across many different ones, but one that really caught my eye was the one from LDesign.
The charger itself came in a pretty ordinary packaging that felt a little bit thin, and on the actual box there were a few specifications as well as information about the product. Inside the box is the charger, as well as a plain micro USB and a manual.
So when it comes to the actual charger, it looks pretty nice and feels solid compared to some other alternatives I’ve seen. The charger itself is partially made out of transparent plastic, which does glow up with a blue light when putting an QI capable device on it - this is great as the blue light makes it easier to see if the charger is actually charging the phone. There’s some rubber as well, so you don’t have to worry about your phone or device slipping off the charger when charging.
The charging performance is about as good as the original Moto 360 charger, but I was unable to measure the exact output of the charger. The charger doesn’t get hot while charging, and I’ve had no issues with its range either – for some reason I can even charge my Moto 360 with the strap in-between the device and charger. The only negative aspect is that the entire charger isn’t capable of charging, and just the square in the middle can be used for charging.
Pros:
Good design and it looks great on my desk.
Decent charging performance paired with my Moto 360
Rubber around the charging area so that the device doesn’t slip off.
Cons:
Not the entire charger can be used for charging
Note that the product was sent to me in exchange of this review, based entirely on my own opinion and experience with the product.
Picture of the charger:

Hey Guys!,
If you are like me, you have all kinds of things needing power by your entertainment center! You have your TV, Blue Ray, Game console, Receiver, sub woofer, satellite or cable box, Android box, Chromecast, Fire Stick, etc! Some of them have those PITA power blocks that either sit 90 degrees or are too large and block another outlet. The same may be said for your computer desk I am sure. New power cubes are starting to show up that offer a solution! BESTEK offers a fairly decent one that provides eight standard 120V outlets and 6 USB 2.4Amp outlets!
Here is the unit on EBAY with a lot more pix http://www.ebay.com/itm/BESTEK-Powe...Protector-with-8A-6-Port-USB-Ch-/122449628497
That was the lowest price I can find on Ebay
BUT....it is much cheaper on Amazon!!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5JD5VY. AND for XDA members I was told that if you add code BA6F993J in your Amazon checkout it will be only $30.99!!! This has been extended until August 31, 2017!
This is what the back of my entertainment center looked like:

}
But after replacing the 2 power strips with the BESTEK power cube it looked a bit better:
There are LEDs on the unit to let you know the power is on to your devices. These LEDs are light sensitive so auto-dim for night mode or nice and bright for daytime. The nice thick long power cord also has a low profile 90 degree flat plug for those tight spaces.
The USB ports with 2.4 Amp outputs are enough to trigger Fast or Rapid charge on many devices! So this is perfect for reducing the clutter under that computer desk!
Thanks for reading!
UPDATE: So I got a 2nd one for my computer desk!
Here is what it looked like before:
You can see I had to add another strip PLUS a 3-2 adapter just to make all those power supplies fit.
Here you see how the BESTEK surge protector handles those pesky large adapters:
And here is the result of the addition of the Bestek surge protector under my desk:
The results? The removal of a strip just to accommodate those large adapters, another strip completely empty, and 6 USB ports still available right at my fingertips (or in this case toe tips )
