Anyone tried it that can provide some opinions? Need to know how well it works before I shell out $10.
That stand looks beefy! Does it just sit there? I kinda like this mount http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Car-Holder-...ccessories?hash=item439859b9c3#ht_3529wt_1216 made just for the HTC Dream.

HOLY DASH MOUNT!! You are going to have to use street view instead of the windshield to see where you are. LOL I'm sure there will be better options soon
Hi,
I'm using one similar to that but mine's a vent mount and its pretty awesome i think. The reason I got one of these friction beasts is so that i can use it with my gps and phone. Yours seems to be better than the vent mount because it swivels. Mine doesn't swivel. But overall it works and its a very good multi tasker. I usually have it on landscape and don't use the little prongs. The foam pads are good enough to hold both my phone and gps.
I bought a cheap one from Frys for $15, it has a very similar clamping design but uses a flexible gooseneck and a suction mount. It works well, the friction mount part holds the phone well. I am not a huge fan of the gooseneck though. I cant wait to get back home and start modding on it, I think I can make it much better!
G1 Windshield Mount
I purchased a windshield car mount from pocket solutions. Works great and built well.

Try this one. Hella cheaper as well. Yours with shipping for me woulda cost around 30. This costs me 7. Much more "fitted" for our phone too.

This type of mount actually blocks the charge port so you can't charge it while in the car. Kinda a deal killer because GPS uses so much power. Phone will be dead when I get to my destination.
I ordered one of those that said it had 3 clips instead of the 4 but they sent me one with 4. Then the ebay seller, lovelypriceelement, emailed me back saying that the 3 clips one doesn't exist EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS ON THE PAGE THAT THE USB PORT ISN'T BLOCKED!
Don't buy this if you want to charge in the car.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170403618927&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I wish I remember where i got mine. It took me 3 different ones before i found one i liked, bought them retail....just kept returning them until the 4th was the best (around $25). It has 2 clips that clip onto the vent, and a support arm between the clips that rests again the vent, doesnt move at all and the charge port is completely accessible.

If you could find out where you got that one, that would be great. Looking for a more elegant solution to mount my G1 in my car.
I've seen the vent mount one at Staples but I don't know if it would work in my car. How long are the arms that clip onto the vent. I have a Mazda 6 and my vents are like the one in the middle of this picture:

For those who have used the vent clip mount, do you think that it would mount to the vents just above the radio in that picture? When open they have a curved front and they are a bit deeper than the average vent.
wrong thread.
This is what I ended up getting: http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-Windshield-...ccessories?hash=item27ade217c9#ht_3359wt_1165
So far so good... it's has this dumb photo holder (the clear plastic thing) and it came with a pic of an asian chick posed over a car! LOL!
But it's hefty, solid and not a goose neck.

Does anyone know of any cheap suction window mounts that are made to hold Hermes device (8525)?
Personally I would not recommend or risk using a cheap suction mount for a £400 device in case the quality sucks, and it dislodges from the glass and causes major damage to your device. Then the £15 you have saved from buying a quality mount pales into insignificance. I use a Brodit vent mount as these are a lot more secure, have you considered one of these?

The vents in my SCion xB are questionable at best, not sure I'd stick a vent mount on them. I used a suction window mount for my Genio PPC with a CF GPS for years and it never fell off the window.
Does your device not get real hot if you have the heat on in the winter?
My Hermes stays as normal because I just shut off that vent, similar to the one in the picture on the right

^ holy devices in your car!
on topic, I grab most of my electronic doo-dads from www.eforcity.com
I use their universal suction cup mount. Hasn't failed me yet.
Ebay !!!
I got one from ebay.
First time i drove i had the window up cause i mounted it on the window side of the stearing wheel. But i had no issues with it at all. And it was like $25AU shipped.
I bought a Bracketron Mobile Grip-It Windshield Mount for Mobile Devices from best buy.. was $32 and I'm pretty happy with it. Like the manual says, it works best when resting on the dashboard, 14" arm is helpful with my far away windshield

thanks i been looking for one for when i got the gps running.
On really hot days my ebay bought mount falls off. :/
I had to put the bottom of the mount resting on my dash for it to not fall, i wouldn't recommend the ebay ones.
hmm, i havent had this problem at all, even though I expected it!
Its sometimes hard to get the suctioncup off the windshiled even AFTER the mechanical lever is released!
How close does yours look to the picture of the bracketron universal at bestbuy.com?
I've got the Best Buy one as well - seems to work fine. One thing I liked about it was that the rubber pads on the sides can be moved up or down the phone to avoid pushing the buttons on the sides when squeezing down on the phone (like the PTT button).
ive had pdas in my cars about 5 years now, and ive found even the expensive suction mounts arnt all that!
So i tend to find a suitable plastic holder, attach a bracket to the back, home made bit of bent metal, and fix it in behind a panel or vent to leave no marks in the dash!
Ive dont plenty of track days and the phones have been safe.

Yep. Checkout www.brodit.se . Really good quality and no low budget ebay solutions. They have complete car mounts with charger. I've have had one for my Pda and for my other nokia mobile phone and now I've ordered for my Htc Touch HD.

Second that. I have the Pro mount which fits in my car with no screw holes etc and then use their active mounts to screw into the pro mount. Charges phone perfectly and holds it great. Have used them for years now on all my phones, perfect!

I'll add my question to this thread.
What would you guys recommend for me, considering that I often drive different types of rental cars? I checked the brodit website, but their products are made for specific car models, so it doesn't help my situation.
I have been looking at this one on ebay. Does anyone have any experience with this one? Does it stick well and is it stable? Will it only hold on glass?
I just have this fear that my HD will fall of it I hit a bump on the road.

And what about the type that clips on the air vents? How stable is that?
Here is a link to one on ebay. It also rotates 360° for portrait or landscape viewing.
UPDATE:
I bought the holder in the first picture above. You can read my review on it in Post #8 below.
I have a brodit mount. I think they are about the best ones made. They are expensive but I think that are worth it.
Many thanks all. :
REVIEW of car holder from post above
I just wanted to add my review to the first picture I posted above (holder with suction cup). But first - really quickly - as far as the second picture (holder for air vents), most of the reviews I found did not recommend it because it does not fit well on all vents, it is not stable, and it is often hard to remove from the vents.
So, now on to the suction holder from the first picture:
I got the HD holder for the car today and tested it out. I definitely like it. The suction cup sticks really well to the glass (assuming both surfaces are clean, of course). At first, I was scared that the whole thing would loosen up and fall off, and so I kept checking it constantly, but it held totally firm for the 45 minutes I was driving. Even when I went to take it off and I released the suction-lock lever, the remaining suction was still really strong.
The tray that holds the actual phone fits the HD well, and all buttons and ports are clearly accessible. I wish the phone would fit just a little tighter in the tray, but it is still fine. I never worried that it would "fall out" or anything like that. I suppose it's also good that it is not so tight that it could scratch the HD when sliding it in and out. The tray can also be easily removed and re-attached to the arm. Oh - and of course, the HD will NOT fit if you have any protective case around it (such as the silicone or hard plastic covers).
The "arm" part is easily bent and adjusted at the two joints, so you can set the HD at whatever angle you want in any direction. Once set to whatever angle, it will not loosen or bend on its own.
All-in-all, I'm very pleased with this so far and I would definitely recommend it. The user reviews I read for it on Amazon do so likewise.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
Just throwing it out there. I recently sold my touch HD. I still have brodit car mount. If anyone wants it I'll be happy to sell it for cheap. If your local, i'll take some red bulls PM me!
BTW I love the mount. If I get any other carmount, its going to be a brodit
Any one have first hand experience with any of the handlebar mounts out there?
I have seen a few but I am not sure if they will keep my G1 from smacking the ground.

It is actually quite good. Hard to get in the U.S. though. I had to find a company in U.K. that would ship to CONUS.
I too am looking for one, just got a bike.
Ordered a mount for my Garmin 60csx, but there are some AWESOME apps for the G1, and easier to use (auto upload to Google Maps, etc..) and I think I prefer the G1 more for this.
(Apps: My Tracks, Buddy Runner)
Looked up the Herbert Richter mount specific (Dream), looks like the mount is horizontal, which isn't good. You can't auto force an app to go landscape mode, and I don't think Cupcake update does auto rotation.
Actually n/m after viewing the 2 pieces, the phone will be vertical. Someone please verify.
Last edit, great, expansys.com says release date for the Dream mount is JUNE 09!!!
Sorry have not been around for a while. I bought the mount from a UK shop (GPSForLess or something like that) and they delivered inside a week. I got a car mount and the bike mount separately. The G1 attachment connects to the faceplate of the appropriate mount and once on it does not come off easily, I use a hammer to tap it off.
The bike mount goes onto the handlebar and does not rotate once mounted. I am pretty sure you can loosen up the joint while it is not mounted on a bike and swivel it to a new position but you would want to tighten it back up before putting it on a bike. The holder itself is functional enough. It is very similar to the seidio face in holster. I would not trust it for really rough riding such as mountain biking but for city riding it is more than solid enough. The counter point to that is if you are doing the kind of riding where you would be able to jar the phone out of the holster you will probably have a spill sooner or later, which would likely destroy the phone.
What apps are you using on your bike? I am sort of looking for a good reason to get a G1, so if there is something good for biking, my arguments will be bolstered.
MonkeyK: I use My Tracks on my bike trips. Pretty sweet app.
JanetPanic: That brings up another thing...The "clip" you put on your G1, can you use that for both the car mount and the bike mount? Is it a universal one if you get the Richter mount? I am looking for a car mount as well, Stream Furious is my best friend on my drives home from work.

Yes it is a universal mount. So you could remove the G1 clip from the bike mount and move it to the car mount. I would get a separate G1 adapter for the car and the bike mount though. I worry that continually attaching and removing the G1 cradle would weaken the attachment to the mounting system.
The G1 Vibration free tower works quite well for me as a car mount. I do not drive often though so the bike mount sees more use.
JanetPanic: do you have a link to the bike and car mount? I think I am sold on them.

Hey everyone. So I am looking for a car mount for my S2. I have seen a ton of them out there and wondered what your opinions were on some of the ones I have found and out of those or maybe one that you know of is the best.

I was thinking about getting

I picked up one of these http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html it even holds my GFs G1 Droid with a monster silicon case. You can pick them up for <$20 online.
http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html thats pretty awesome
I decided to pick a mount up from Arkon (http://www.arkon.com/) The one I got particularly is the Mega Grip Flexible version (http://www.arkon.com/Galaxy-S-II/megagrip-galaxy-s-2-flexible-windshield-car-mount.html)
It works pretty well, the legs are adjustable and has a ball joint that allows you to rotate the holster 360 degrees. It also has an adjustable arm (not the bendable arm) to change the vertical angle. The bendable arm is exceptionally stiff, much more than my Kensington mount I got for my 3GS a while back. The suction cup works very well on glass, other surfaces I can't say the same as I've not tried it on them. The only thing that doesn't tickle my fancy is the arm release mechanism... every time I use it it feels like I'm going to break it. My phone fits in without having to adjust this every time so it's not much of a concern for me though.
As for the exogear holder you just linked... I wouldn't mind snagging one of those. I'm always wary of gripping ones that don't support the bottom of the phone... don't want my device falling out at some point... especially when I mount it next to the window.

If you look close at the exogear, you'll see the inside of the "clamp" has red rubber for gripping. I hold my phone in portrait mode all the time and it has yet to slide with gravity.
Glad you found a holder that works for you.

It does require 2 hands, which isn't a big deal to me because i still use both hands to plug/unplug power/aux.

This is a good choice and good price, plus it will supply a Line-Out and power to the phone. I wanted Line-Out feature and ended up making my own cable because I required a universal phone holder.
I have the official Samsung car dock - it is excellent!
@OP Maybe you should hold off of buying it at all. It looks like, next year, we won't be allowed to use our phones in cars while driving.

Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. I did not get this for free but I did get a little discount from a coupon code I had lol.
I was in the the market for a wireless car charger. I have had one in the past, but the location of my Nexus 6 coil was too located to low for it. So my quest to get the perfect one was on! Upon reviews and forums, I was looking at both the iottie and TYLT wireless car chargers. I was initially leaning towards the TYLT one, but the proprietary plug was the deal breaker for me. I didnt need yet another different cable running in my truck. I already have my cool flux capacitor cig charger in place and would hate to lose it! In any case, I then moved my research to the iottie ones. I have heard decent things and first looked at the iottie flex wireless car charger. This looked like the one! But, I saw there were two versions. The flex and the one touch one. What geared me towards the one Easy One Touch version was that of the many MANY ways you can angle and telescope the mount to view your phone. Being having a heavy and big Nexus 6, I liked the various sizes it can accommodate.
When receiving it, I played with all the various gears and levers and screws and found that that this was very well thought out. However, I cant figure out why they put the suction lever to activate the suction cup was underneath the main arm. But its out of the way so thats one thing I guess. The suction cup is clear but has that SUPER suction adhesive that you can rinse off to reconsitute the adhesive, similar to the airdock mounts and various other iottie products use. This sucker is strong! The charger comes with a plate that has more of this sticky suction cups but I already have one mounted so I used that one. Good back up though.
Another fantastic thing is how you insert and remove the phone from the charger. This is the first mount I have ever used that when you put in the phone to charge, you slide it into the back button that snaps the sides in and will lock into place when stops. Awesome. And to remove, simply cup your hand like you are to remove the device and press the two button/levers on the side and pinch together to release into your hand. No issue at all. I am using a Spigen Ultra hybrid case and the Nexus 6 JUST BARELY FITS to lock into place. With the adjustable chin, it is just perfect.
Oh was it a proprietary cable? NOPE, good ol micro usb! Love it even more!
Any questions? Ask away!
I have the iOttie One Touch XL and I love it, but now that I have a Supcase Bettle case on it, it barely fits anymore. I measured my phone with the case on it and is now 3.5" wide. The one you reviewed lists as 3.3" wide. Do you have your phone in a case? If so, which one and do you have any issues getting it to fit?

I have the Spigen Ultra hybrid in gunmetal and it just fits. And no issues getting it in and out. And stays sturdy. I did say so in the review. I had to re-read it lol.
Thanks for the quick reply. Might have to reconsider this one if it BARELY fits. Probably just like how it fits into my iOttie XL mount right now.

Have you tried the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless one?

Looks like it closes to the max of 3.5 inches where the XL fits to 3.3.
I don't know, the problem with the Easy Flex Wireless is that the mount is so short, so hanging it off the windshield might make it hard to reach.
