I'm looking for a car-mount that will fit the Wizard.
I don't want a speaker or any connectors, just a mount, preferably with lots of foam so it doesn't squeek and rattle. I also don't want a 'window sucker' model.
I've googled it but can't find anything that says it will work with the Wizard.
Anyone seen/got one that will fit?
Me to.
I've been using Brodit mounts for the last couple of years but I keep swaping cars (between my own and a company one) recently.
This is the most promising one I've found so far.

I like the look of this one because when I get a better case (flip type) there should be room to mount with it left in side.
Nice
Good range. Arkon only do a 'sucker' windshield mount for the jam/k-jam though.
Still looking.
Is there a UK site with them?
Any ideas when K-Jam accessories will appear? I want some screen protectors and don't like cutting bigger ones down to size.
Boxwave do some screen protectors and do ship to the UK.

The Arkon kit CM910 has a vent, sticky Dash and suction cup mount included.

I think expansys do some Arkon Kit.

Edit : I forgot to mention that Halfords do a expanding Phone Vent mount I think it's about £15.
Brodit is introducing a passive mount early this month (presumably 1st half).
Although I have not found any retailer selling it at the moment.
Cool I''ve been holding out for that one But I might get a cheap suction holder for the other cars I use.
I just bought a cheap HR Richter mini holder while I await a Brodit active holder.
Doesn't make sence for me to buy a passive holder now and an active holder in a while.
Brodit has released their mount for the wizard. I started a thread on HoFo

I'm using a plain old simple magnetic car holder from carphone warehouse which works just fine for me. £5 from carphonewarehouse - job done.

Halfords has a universal holder for £14.99 that held my Vario very securely when I tried it in the shop and did not obscure the speakers or the USB port. It came with a window sucker and a sticky pad option. I'm not sure if there were clip or magnetic options as well.
Tesco have a universal holder for £4.97 that clips to the air vents. It was in a bubble pack and I could not tell whether it would open wide enough. But I don't suppose Tesco would object to a refund if it didn't, since there is no way to try before you buy.
Further to my post above I just bought a universal holder from a Vodafone shop for £5.00. It has air vent and sticky pad options and a slick/smooth adjustment operation - better than other units I tried for £10+. There is a gap at the bottom for headphones and USB charging if needed.
I don't like the idea of blowing hot air all over the back of the phone for hours in the middle of winter so I've plumped for the sticky option. I have yet to test it on the move with the Vario attached. I'll leave it overnight for the adhesive to stay stuck and then see how it goes.
ClearTouch Crystal, Qtek 9100 from Boxwave.
Any one who have tried that cleartouch crystal protection? Waitin for mine to arrive :/

I've got one on my wizard and it looks great. I messed the first one up and i stuck the wrong side down on the screen and it gave an oil kind of effect on the screen, i'm sure the peel off sticker was on the wrong side, anyway i binned that and used one of the others i got and now it looks and fits great. had it on a few weeks now and its not scratched yet.
my last boxwave screen protector lasted over a year.
Hi all,

No, the "base" only sticks out 3 or 4mm
Has anybody seen a car holder for the HTC Touch HD? Not the univeral ones which fit for a lot of different devices. I mean holders like the ones from Richter or Brodit.
I couldn't find any touch hd specific ... looks like these vendors are slow with expending their product portfolio!
As usual for every new phone, i order the Herbert Richter product
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....category=00394707-5A1A-4D70-98A5-4CD5F1638611
Waiting for avaibility....
so youbuy the holder bit (as you have linked), whats the other part youhave to buy (apart from the phone )
Brodit car holders are here
Hi there,
The holders for our Touch HD's have arrived at the Brodit-site:
http://www.brodit.com/?main=searchb...owModell=D0B8AFF1-0D4C-403F-AF24-7CBF0151CE61
I don't know about other countries/suppliers, but in the neterlands, www.pdaplus.nl says the will have them in 1-2 weeks...
Well spotted Nooky, not even on their news page yet! This is the one I have been waiting for. Any UK suppliers yet?
Can you also use this holder in landscape mode?

DSL Developments, http://www.dsldevelopments.com/. Very helpful and now have them available to order. How soon they'll ship them, no idea.
They also offer a 3-in-1, with:
- Mini USB for charging
- 3,5 mm audion for sound out
- HTC Ext USB for original headset
Surely, if it only attaches to ExtUSB the 3.5mm and the ExtUSB for headset won't work? Connecting a HTC Headset from Polaris certainly fails on HD ExtUSB...

Found them this morning, but 60 quid for the molex one? Bloody hell.. Getting the lighter socket one and will rewire it myself I think.
Hi,
Brodit relesed their holder series for Touch HD.
www.brodit.se
They are great and I use them for a while now.
Can be used in landscape

If you buy the "tilt swivel" version; you can.
The opening to slide it in will remain on the short side, so if you tilt the holder 90 degrees the phone is held by the upper and lower side and the left OR right side (with the usb-plug).
I have had several holders from brodit for my HTC phones and the phone is always held so tight (without scratching!) that you won't have to worry that the phone will slide out sideways when in landscape-position.
Anyone used the Brodit Holder with their ProClip Mounting over the vent? I prefer not to drill holes or stick it!
I've used a Brodit Proclip on my last three cars, brilliant fit every time, latest is over the vent. Recommended.

Yes, I normaly use proclip over the vent so that I'll have the phone near to me and in clear view.
Brodit has amazing produts made of very good and solid plastic. Not like some low cost holders that you might find.
But I think it all depends on the car you have. Brodit normaly has several sugestions to place the proclip, so I think they have it for everyone taste.

I've upgraded from a HTC Trinity (which came with Herbert Richter car mount) and this works very well with the Touch HD - it's a slightly tighter fit, but very stable and allows the car charger to fit easily. Thought some people may find this useful at least as a stopgap until the proper Touch HD one is available
Hi,
What about a good holder that attaches to your windscreen? The Brodit ones are all very well but what happens if you are using a different car? Say if you go abroad and get a hire car, will the brodit holder be able to transfer?
the previously mentioned: Herbert Richter car mount uses a sucker. i am trying to decide between that and the brodit. Herbert Richter car mount isnt out yet for the HD.
Do either of them allow you to use it in landscape as well?
You can buy a sucker for the Brodit too if you prefer (or additionally):

...until you want to use another car I suppose.
With my n560 I have been using a Brodit activ holder in combination with a Herbert Richter Mounting device for the window. Therefore you only have to buy an adapter-plate for approximately 5€.
Hi,
any cradle or car kit available?
please no universal holder like CU G100.
thx jürgen
I ask importer in my country, car holder will be avaible in 1 month from Brodit
CarComm has an active and a passive one available.
carcom vs brodit
so, the products are available.
i#m wondering about the hight space between the htc back and the holder by brodit.
the carcomm holder looks smaller.
what do you think?
and: the price difference between active and passive holder is 40€, lol. i think a car-usb-adapter for a few bugs is the better way ...
you're right, i ordered passive brodit for 21€, but it comes in 3 weeks.

currently have the Brodit Passive holder with my HR Richter swivel, with all the Brodit holders I've been quite happy.
Looks decent and fits smoothly, it's worth getting it
E-bay, search T3333.
Great Car windshield holder whit nice price.

Anyone recommend an in car mount for TP2 (for when using as sat nav).
Thanks
I've used Brodit mounts for several HTC phones, and have been very satisfied. The one for the TP2 will let you mount vertically, or horizontally with the keyboard open or closed. They're a bit pricey, but well worth it.
I've used one of the Rocketfish generic mounts from Bestbuy before, which is about $25. It actually worked pretty well, but is also quite chunky -- definitely not the most svelte option available. However, it does have the added advantage of being versatile enough to hold a variety of products (MP3 player, TP2, GPS, etc.)
Brodit mount
I have just realised that I had a Brodit mount, it was for the dash not the windscreen, but I have just adapted my old Ipaq mount to it and it looks and works a treat. I had never heard of Brodit before, but they are really good.
Have drill will travel!!

i ordered one based on a recomondation from here from obostore.com. it is built for the touch pro 2 so it snaps in perfectly, rotates 360 and keyboard can slide open. best of all its 5 bucks with free shipping. its coming from hong kong so it took about 10 business days. the one negative as that the suction is not as strong as id would like it to be but if you set the gooseneck where you want and leave it alone its fine. i hope that helps. you cant go wrong for 5 bucks. let me know if you have any questions.
I have always used Brodit cradles for all my devices over the last few years. I find them reliable, very strong and easy to put together.
For some reason Brodit havent released a cradle for this device yet - has anyone got any ideas where i can get one that is for vents?
thanks

There are a few on ebay in the $12-15 range and some on Amazon in the $25 range. I just did a search for Samsung 7.7 vent mount.
sorry - for got to mention - i already bought one from ebay - that is the problem - hence my post
the ones on ebay are flimsy, lowsy horrible things...make sure you dont buy one. the ball and socket which allows it to swivel lost its stiffness after about 10 minutes of use and i just took it off. also the connection to the vent is weak at best. the connection to the actual plastic is so weak that when I turned a corner once the thing fell out!
i had a galaxy tab 7 inch and the brodit cradle for that was nice and solid - you would have to tug hard to move it anywhere - also the ball and socket was adjustable by just making the screw tighter

Looks like they have now: http://www.brodit.com/newsDetails.html?id=120229
U r a legend! I been checking that site for months and gave up last week!
Always the way!
Hmm I've bought the official car mount already,
and i'm waiting it to arrive...
Just wondering, what's the advantage of car vent compared to car mount?
isnt' carmount more universal? because with this you have to choose clips specific to your car?
Very tempting, the good is that for my car, Dodge Caliber, there two options, the vent and center console, i might go with the center console option
Edit: i went to the US retailer website but they do not have the tab holder listed yet only the one for the original tab, but they do have the vent and center console mount, the mount is $29.99 a bit much and i wonder how much will be for the tab holder.

It's not available in the US on the ProclipUSA website. Didn't know brodit and Proclip were somehow associated. Always bought Proclip, thinking it was designed and made in the USA? Maybe it is.
Whatever the case, I just called Proclip, it will be available in the USA next week, they'll send me an email about it. Can't order it right now.

thats good, please keep us updated
Finally got mine and it sits solid as a rock to the left of my HTC sensation XE!! sweeeet!!
bluetooth straight to audio my JVC AVX55 stereo!!! while the htc goes to the handseat bluetooth
I agree that Brodit mounts are superb - I got mine - Brodit Passive Car Cradle Holder Tilt Swivel for Samsung Nexus S (#511227) from Amazon UK. It is rock solid.
My Brodit from Proclip arrived Thursday. Its really nice. I originally had a ram mount in my truck for the Motorola xoom. The Proclip is nice but I ordered the console mount instead of the vent mount for Toyota 2005 Tacoma. I'm using the console mount piece as a cable organizer and just bolted the pro clip backing to the Ram mount fitting since the holes matched. I am hoping to post pictures and review soon.
