[Q] Car Mount Help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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 do have a Ballistic Case on my phone so its kind of thick. This is the case
I was thinking about getting
Universal Phone Mount Holder for Samsung Galaxy S II (Galaxy S2) Epic 4G Touch Android Smartphone + SumacLife TM Wisdom*Courage Wristband $14.94
Please let me know any feedback that you maybe thinking.
Thanks everyone!

That I built a custom bracket for that mounts to the dash of my truck, like so:

This is the one that I got from Ebay. Works well for me as it is closer to me instead of suction cup mounting it on the windshield.

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.

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.

Is it possible to put/remove phone with one hand? To me, two handed operation is required with exogear holder.

BTW, I'm using Bracketron GPS Pro-Mount Grip It holder and it's 1st class windshield holder. It's little bit bulky but I guess that comes with sturdiness.

Online you can buy it for $20 or less.

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.
