Seen your video where you showed off the dialer and then when you explained the use of velcro and laughed, a bit tacky but i guess whatever works lol...

I dunno, it's really not as bad as you might think! It's cheap, it's minimalistic, and it works brilliantly! Maybe I should make another short video showing what it looks like in my car
One other added little bonus is that, when setting my Tab down on like a desk or table, since it rests on the soft fuzzy velcro instead of its metal casing, it's somewhat protected from possibly getting scuffed on the back.
For about $3 at your local RadioShack, you really can't go wrong

valid points, but what about when you take the velcro off, you would be left with marks there, i cant wait to get the leather case which will protect it
i got this one but i only payed 19.99, he seller has since upped the price to 29.99 and has sold close to 50 of these:

Not as much as you might think. I did the same thing with my original GTab, and there was nothing left behind from the Velcro when I sold it. If anything, those two strips just kept that area clean and unscathed. No sticky residue or anything!

Video's up!
I actually went to buy the keyboard from a local vendor and they said hey we also have the car mount so i picked one up also.. Looks sweet.. I wish it had a speaker phone in the base like the Galaxy Nexus car mount but then again the speakers are plenty loud on the tab as it is.. I think i bought every accessory already.! Except the hdmi adapter.. I dont see a need for it as both my TV's have dlna clients built in so i can stream media to the TV's over my 802.11 N 5ghz wlan..

Tab 7.7
Just FYI DLNA is handy but in my opinion it's not a viable substitute for the HDMI adapter if you plan on using your device to output to a TV. DLNA doesn't do well with all file formats and it's kind of torturous to advance or rewind. The HDMI adapter lets you use the tab pretty much like you would normally. I don't think DLNA is really all that mature yet. It will be better when future versions can simply mirror your device to the TV via WiFi rather than the very limited way it operates now.
I use DLNA everyday to watch video content through out my home no problem.. it maybe a young protocol.. but i havent had any problems.. i agree with you about not supporting all codecs/formats but i believe this is a limititatiin of the tab as mkv, m2ts wont play on the device pulling from my nas boxes.. but my tvs have played all formats that ive thrown at it up to 1080p 5.1ac3 over 802.11n 5ghz...

Fit for Car Mount
Does anyone know if the car mount will allow you to mount the tab if it has a thin back cover case in place? I have the Rock Ultra Thin case and I like it, but I don't want to have to remove it every time I want to put it in the car (daily).

also curious about this. it appears it can only mount without any cases/skins. sucks because theres no way im walking around with this thing without a case.
No. It is a tight fit, especially around the corners.

Someone posted in the huge @ss thread that they thought the Kindle DX was about the same size as the GTablet.
I went ahead and ordered this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kindle-DX-Leath...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5004332251969071237
I'm happy with it so far, the DX is about half and inch wider, height is okay, so it can slide around a bit. I put some stick on velcro on the case and on the GTab, it isn't going anywhere now. I think I'm going to have to use superglue for the velcro on the case though, it's felt lined so it won't stick on for long. The only thing is the top elastic band is close to the power button, maybe Roebeet's electrical tape solution is in order.
UPDATE: Oh, well my fake pleather case has ding in the edge now. Maybe I need to get some of that liquid leather. ;P Happy with the sizing, just need to find something more durable. Maybe I'll use some of that new fangled electrical tape I hear is the new duct tape.
Electrical tape is the new duct tape:

I need to do something like that, was thinking of a little piece of sticky backed foam, like 1/4 ince or so, think I have some perfect for that around here somewhere.
Hitting that power button is way to easy to do, need to mod the physical keys on the side somehow also, lol.
I found an iPad case on amazon for $14.95 that has good potential. go to amazon and search for "Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/folio for Apple Ipad 3g Tablet/wifi Model 16gb, 32gb, 64gb (Black)" in Electroincs.

Mike, I'd be careful. I've looked at several ipad cases but the gtab is taller and not as wide as the ipad. Most I've seen dont fit unless it's a universal case.

I purchased a Solo Classic iPad/eReader portfolio case from Staples that was around $30.00. The downside is that the power button is covered by one of the soft cloth corner holders, but other than that it has worked fine.

The band was tighter when I first got it (infact it was so tight that it keep randomly turn on my tablet). After a few days it loosen up so the problem resolve itself. I carry it around ,always rushing to class and it feel pretty secure imo.

So as promised here are the pictures and a couple of videos of my transformer mounted in my 2007 BMW 335i. I used a Pro Clip and Pad Tab to install it. Also used a blackberry gateway to connect the audio via bluetooth to my car stereo. All the wires mess is hidden in the arm rest compartment. So far its great and sturdy as you can see from the videos, loving my transformer even more now

Pro clip for your specific car can be bought from www.proclipusa.com and Pad Tab can be bought from www.thepadtab.com
I might have to do this in my Challenger. Looks like they do have the vent attachments for it.
best part of this thread was now we dance alors remix in the vid LOL
I'm hoping to do this today actually. I have an 06 325i. I wanna mount my nook color. Can you help me make sure I order the right parts? Looks like the pro-clip site makes it sound like I need a mount and a holder. Did you simply replace the holder part with the pad tab?
I know this will come across as lazy rather than cautious, but would you be kind enough to help me get what is needed for the nook color? I'm really hoping this isn't going to be a pain in the ass with my car being a 6 speed standard.
Awesome work. I've been drooling over this since you posted it!
So I just ordered the pad tab for $25 shipped.
Then it's only the MOUNT from pro-clip that I need, NOT the holder right? If so I'll be good to go

Also make sure when ordering the mount that u order the right one, is your bmw with navigation? do u want an angled mount or a straight mount like mine is? Here are the ones for your car:
http://bit.ly/jgydgd
Thanks. Yeah I want the straight one to avoid bothering my stick shift. I don't like that it covers the DTC button, but realistically I'd never DTC with a tablet mounted anyway haha.
I ordered it earlier this morning. I looked more carefully at your pics and they answered all my questions....DERP!
I'll post pics once it shows up.
I ordered the wood trim since that's what I've got, but how the hell would it be any different than the aluminum trim? I was planning on replacing the trim with carbon fiber eventually, so now just one more hurdle. No biggie!
This looks amazing man. I'm really tempted to get this set up for my 02' RL. Is it pretty sturdy during driving?

Hey thanks for the info.I was also wondering if anyone has tried a Motorola zoom case.It looks kinda close,but wasn't if would work or not.
The xoom is about 2 inches smaller so the cases dont work. I tried to put mine in a friends xoom case
How well does it stay in the notches when in an upright position and being used? I find my CLIP from ElectronicCrap doesn't hold the bottom of the gtablet well enough when it's in an upright position and the screen is being tapped. It drops out of the notch and falls to the bottom position. :-(
Its a very tight/ snug fit. The bottom of the gtab fits onto a pocket that is as wide as the unit. I have no fear of it coming out of this case.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Actually I meant does the tablet stay upright while set in one of the notches, not whether the tablet itself would fall out of the case when in this position. Based on the design I would assume so which is better then the CLIP case does. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

Got one!
I went to Best Buy and grabbed one. Price there was $39.99, but the G Tablet fits very nicely. I took some pictures (sorry for the low light).
The Gtab slides in there very snug and secure. The top left strap just falls in between the volume rocker. It's not too bad, you can still adjust vol up & down very easily. And that same strap falls in between the power button and the USB cover. You can stil access it just fine.
I love how the case feels. You can fold back the cover all the way back and just use the tablet straight on, or you can open it and place it in one of the 3 little slots to adjust viewing angle.
I like it, it's very comfortable to sit in bed in and use. The multiple angles allows you to have it on your lap very comfortably.

If you are going to pay that much, why not consider the clip case then, its officially made for the GTab and even allow docking while the tab is inside it.

Thanks for the reply.
I can't figure out how can you slide the tab in the dock with the case on. I mean its a "just fit" with only the tablet and dock, so when I tried with my own case the couple of mm's added thickness just made it impossible to dock the tablet.
Can you kindly post a pic with the tab docked while in the case ?

I got the targus case too and I am liking it. Yaa it is a little bulky, but it feels well made and fits the gtab gr8! I love the three angles I can prop it. It also has some serious cushioning, making me less nervous about damaging my tab.
Got it from BB for $35 after a 10% off coupon for labor day.
Picked up rooCASE leather folio from Amazon, and it fits pretty well with the exception of the opening for the power button.
I got a handy candy case for the ipad. Great for carrying, I wouldn't mind dropping it a few times in this case. It also has velcro grips that can be adusted for propping the gtab up. Not great but definitely not bad.

I've looking around online for a solution to mount my transformer on my dashboard for the longest time. Dissatisfied with overpriced plastic panels and metallic holders, I set off to find my own mount. I wanted something cheap because I couldnt justify spending 20 to 50 bucks on custom made holders that I probably wouldnt use again if I switched my car. Instead, I decided to order 3M velcro for 3 dollars. Here are the results:

I wont be able to mount it anywhere on the dashboard, as I need nice flat surface for it to stick properly. Im also aware that the transformer has a glossy screen which shows glare under the sun, but if you turn your brightness up, its really easy to see the navigation. In addition, its also great for whoevers sitting in the passenger seat.
Its definitely not the prettiest set up, but it is the cheapest.

Awesome idea i was thinking of something similar using 3M picture frame holders the ones that you stick on then they are supposed to come off with no residue etc never got round to it ended up getting a thingy for the phone for maps and a bag that has a special poket for the tf with lots of padding

So I'm going to use velcro (4 inch by 2 inch strip) instead of the stuff in OP. Should I put the fuzzy side or the scratchy side on the TF? Also this is actual Velcro brand velcro, so the scratchy side is 1mm deep and the puffy side is 4mm deep.

How about just sticking the velcro to a generic Transformer case that's easy to slide in and slide out. That way you can just leave the case there, and take the transformer out whenever you leave your car.
HA! Love it.
That stuff is called Dual Lock by 3M. It's not Velcro or traditional hook and loop. It uses tiny mushroom heads that interlock together creating an amazing bond. They make it with several fasteners per inch variants. 160 250 and 400. And the adhesive back comes in standard and VHB ( very high bond) The 400 versions is almost like glue, in some applications you can't get it to come apart. I love this stuff, I build specialized helmet camera mounts and use the Dual Lock for helmet mounting. Sky divers use my mount with that stuff and it does not come off at terminal velocity.
From the photo it looks like the OP is using standard adhesive 150 or 250, if you used VHB and 400 you could make small 1X1 patches to mount it.
Search for Dual Lock on Ebay.
Curious about my mount?

nice is cheap and good
has anyone tried this.

I have one for my iPhone and it is great. It is magnetic. Just a small round disc on the back of my phone and one on the dash.
The TF is much bigger but maybe two of these would hold it.
I dunno if the Tetrax will withstand the TF weight and size. Personally I doubt it, but I may be wrong!
Plus it's quite expensive!
I bought the same type of velcro, but black! Black Shtuff (2 feet X 1 inch) $1.79 (Int. shipping included)

MrNago is right - a single mount won't hold the TF. When I tried it, the weight of the tablet pulled the magnetic claw arm off the magnetic mount on my dashboard (no damage, it just separated the mount arm from the magnet attached to the dash). I don't have dashboard space anywhere in my car (that would be practical to view the TF, anyway) to use 2 mounts, so this is a wash.
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!
I have one of these
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.
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.

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.
