I'm in the market for a low-profile horizontal mount for my i717 Note, but I'm not having much luck finding one.
The reason I need a low-profile mount is because I drive a Jeep Wrangler that has a very high dashboard. I purchased the Exomount seen HERE, and it holds the Note just fine; however, it stands up way too high and therefore blocks too much of my windshield.
The two low-profile options I'm considering (so far) are:
1. ME-USDM: i.Trek Universal Dashboard Mount
CONCERN: The clamp may not open up wide enough to hold the Note? (The description and comments indicate that it may only work with screens up to 5" -- such as the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0)
2. Roadster Smartphone Sticky Pad Dash Mount
CONCERN: The right and left vertical sides may block a small portion of the screen since the Note's screen is much wider than the iPhone screen in the pictures.
Does anyone have any experience with low-profile mounts like these? Better yet, does anyone have a recommendation for something even better?
Or maybe someone with a Jeep has found an even better idea?
Thanks ahead of time!
What year Wrangler? You running a case?
I've got a Speck case on my Note and was able to modify my SlipGrip mount to work with it... just a quick Dremel mod and I was ready to go.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SlipGrip-RA...337562?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b852095a
Similar to this one, works good in both my late model XJ and my TJ. without blocking too much windshield.
I've been using this in my Honda as I hate blocking my view with the windshield mounts. http://www.amazon.com/Bracketron-PH...PPYC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330493893&sr=8-1 just clips on you're air vent.

Looks to me, that would put the phone vertical, not horizontal, like the OP wanted. Can it be rotated?
Yes you can swivel it and rotate it. Its on a ball joint.

Can you study the pictures in that second Ebay listing and tell me if you think the clamp that actually holds the phone is adjustable? The pictures that show the clamp empty make it look like they're at a fixed width -- I think -- which may mean the Note wouldn't fit tight... I really can't tell.
What do you think? I guess I can also email them and ask.

Well I did a little more digging and your right that one wouldn't work for you at its full opening and full closing it wouldn't work with the over size beast that we carry LOL but the one that is made for the larger tablet looks like it would. The Note is about 153mm tall no case and this closes to 150mm so if you have a case it will be even tighter.

This is what I've been using for the past four years (I'm on my third one). The mount is somewhat cheaply made. The first one was broken and left behind by somedouche that broke into my car. The second one I had broke the gears on the inside that lock/unlock the device in place after about a year and a half.. so they're not the sturdiest things ever made. But I still bought another one because the placement is perfect for me in my WRX (and they're not that expensive).
It might bounce a little, but honestly, my car probably rides rougher than your Jeep since it's lowered with aftermarket struts set on the next to stiffest setting. I don't really have any issues with the device moving/bouncing around.
I can take some pics if you want..

Bottom of the windshield, has just enough reach to get the phone over the front of center stack. Phone ends up maybe 1/3 in front of the vent, 2/3 above the dash.

I discovered a company called Krusell, which is a fine leather manufacturer out of Sweden. They have a line of accessories called Multidapt, which essentially allows you to use the leather case on your phone and mount it to a number of different things, including belt, backpack strap, and, best of all, car windshield (or car dashboard). I was trying to figure out what would be best for mounting options in my car, but I didn't want something permanent, as my car is only a temp. The accessory to mount to your windshield is called the Krusell Windshield Holder, and is about $15 shipped. You need to also purchase the Mogul leather case or the Multidapt accessory to hook the two of them up.
I'll take some pics if you guys wanna see!
Pics would be great thanks! anyway to hide the charging cable with this setup?
Yes, please post pics

I was totally thinking of buying this mount! Does anyone have it? I am wondering if it has a permanent mounting option. I have a Pro.Fit mounting bracket in my car and would love for it to be able to attach to that!
Doesn't seem like this really belongs in the upgrade forum.
I have this mount and love it. The landscape swiveling is awesome to use your keyboard for keyboard shortcuts(never for txting or emailing while driving obviously, grin). Sound quality is great from the audio out into my aux in on my car. I use it for mp3's, gps etc and it works great.

That's pretty much identical to what I use.
It works fine, but it's got 2 downsides....
1. The back of the phone gets hot in it.. I'm sure that's not a really good thing.
2. The back of the mount blocks the speaker, so voice directions are muffled. If your car stereo has an auxilary input, problem solved... my car doesn't.
I know theres a thread on the Touch pro 2 Car mount but i dont know if any of those mounts work for the Tilt 2. I'm looking for something that fits nice and clips to the vent sturdy and also can rotate to landscape. I searched and searched and googled and cant find anything remotely good.
I bought a universal one but it was garbage
I know Proclip / brodit makes great car mounts but i cant justify paying 70 bucks for a car mount. ( 35 for the mount and 30 for the car mount part )
Sorry for making a new thread for this but i see a ton for the Touch pro 2 and still dont know if those will work with the tilt 2. Thanks for the help in advance

These days it seems like you're pulling teeth in terms of getting accessory developers to develop accessories for any non-iPod/iPhone devices...
This is the Bets one I found till now - HERE
most adjustable
I just ordered this one for a Tilt2. For $13 delivered it doesn't look to bad. I don't believe the TP2 exact fit ones will work with a Tilt2. I would be nice if one came out soon.
Looks like my usual vendor, ProClip USA is developing one, but it is not ready yet. Check them out at:
http://www.proclipusa.com/
I've looked at the ProClip. It looks pretty good. The problem is I just can't see spending close to $80 for one. I upgrade phones every 12-16 months Hell, I only spent $99 delivered for my Tilt2...

Again I'm weary of TP2 exact fit holders. That one is labeled for T7373, the Tilt2 is T7377. There is a small size difference. It does look decent though.
I drive a GMC Sierra and have been looking for a dash or vent mount. A windshield mount puts the phone out of arms reach.

be VERY careful with vent mounts. Your AC can make your phone cold causing it to condensate when you exit the vehicle and walk around outside ESP in high humidity areas thus voiding your warranty

i bought the proclip car kit for the tilt. now i have the tilt2.
the car mount fits great, good location. i agree it is expensive, but replacing the phone holder for the tilt2 is half the cost. still great fit and location.

igrip
i have the igrip custom mount for my fuze, i like it a lot, and the mount detaches from the goose neck. they make several mount options that can connect to the custom clip. the have one for my mountain bike, so i can attach it on the trails and use some of the gps features with a program i downloaded here on xda. They also have some more solid mounts that dont move around as much as the goose neck. I am getting a tilt 2 real soon, as soon as my contract is up for upgrade... (next week).. would love to find a custom clip for it that works with the igrip mounting options, has anyone seen one. i dont see a custom clip for the tilt 2 on their website.

honestly i think that the gtab in the car would be pretty damn cool to use, however i think it just MIGHT be an obstruction of view if you guys were to get the windshield mounts for the tab, believe you will def get a few tickets for that from the local cops looking to meet 'quotas'. maybe if there was something where you can dock it say where the lighter is or in the middle console somehow but on the windshield prob isnt the best place for it, just my 2 cents

I agree, big time! I plan on mounting mine lower in my work van. I also plan on "fabricating" some sort of recessed dock type enclosure in my truck. I had plans for a carputer but I think a gtab dock would be way more convenient....and way sweeter!

I bought one of these iPad suction cup mounts from some random site on BensBargains.net and use it with a beanbag friction dash mount... on my desk. The setup is just too large and cumbersome to be placed on the dashboard. Not to mention the ball head mechanism never seems to get tight enough to hold the tablet steady when I touch anything on either the extreme left or right of the tab.
I see Steve is sold out on white and still doesn't have black in-stock. I'm wondering if anybody has received theirs yet and can review it.
I currently have P3 and it's been great but it's a bit of a loose fit so the camera and sensor don't quite line up with the holes, and the case definitely has an impact on screen sensitivity around the edges.
I'm hoping the clip improves upon those areas.
Thanks!

I think I'm going to buy a Clip as well. Torn between a Clip and the M1.

Do you think you can post pictures of all the positions. It seems like the position shown would be stressful on your wrist if you are typing on the on board keyboard. I want to order the case but I am hesitant due to that one thing.

can the clip fold all the way back to fit on this? Kinda like a spiral notebook can take the cover and fold it all the way back so that the front and back touch.
Just curious. I got one of these stands for my girlfriend and her ipad, was wondering if I could use it too.

I also ordered the M1 and love the black with white stitching.. if the stitching was a 2 tone type i would buy the black clip as well.. the positions work well and IF (big IF) you want you can open the side cover to expose the micro sd slot and the mini usb (at the right angle) but is makes me think the cover will break off while in the clip.
go for it you will like it..
Thx Steve
too bad the cover doesn't have a folding crease like the bottom half does. There is an ipad case almost like this (i own one and love it) and it allows you to folder the top flap back and make a small triangle out of it.

then i would be all over it!!!!

Will the clip case fit if you add the carbon fiber thinskin to the gtab?

yeppers... that's exactly how my setup is!
Just ordered one of these from ebay? £20 with free delivery. Anyone got one? How good are they? Mine will be going in my van so I can use sygic for satnav and for music.
Let us know how it works, I have been looking for something like this for the exact reasons you are.

Hi Wounded.
Got the mount this morning. All I can say is, well worth the money. It has a long flexible stem, idea for long dashboards. Twin suction cups. The part where you put your transformer is removeable, leaving just the suction cups and stem in place. Came very well packaged and fast delivery.
I will post some pics tommmorrow. Works very well with Sygic. I plug mine in via 3.5mm jack lead to stereo and wifi tethered to phone.

[/B][/B]A couple of quick pics.I will post some more in van later.
Did you have the cracked windscreen before or after you attached to TF to it?

LMAO, they were there before. My boss is too tight to have it replaced.
The mount on the other hand works very well. Very pleased with it.

Quality idea
The above wouldn't be legal in California, due to it being attached to the front windshield.
I've ordered this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VG6LDE/ref=oh_o00_s01_i02_details
(Satechi ST-TP01 Car Holder Mount). It was $30 when I ordered it.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

That would be an issue here in the UK as it is in front of the heater grill and we need that grill for heating here, not air con,lol, thus it would heat up the Eeepad (not good)
Thats a good point about the heaters...but it depends where they are situated. The OP's setup would have the same issue if the vents were in the same spot.

I see what your saying here, and thought about this very issue when initially deciding where to place mine. I have now settled on a pretty central location with the base of the TF just above the display of the stereo. Vision is good, no obstructions. Having used it for a couple of days, I have now gone off the idea of using Sygic for Satnav and have changed to Co-Pilot and to be fair, seems to be working alot better. I was finding Sygic to be slightly behind when driving, not a great deal, but for a picky person like me, it was enough.
Hi man,
Was looking for something like this, your confinced me to buy also one, can't wait to get my hands on it. Much better then my 3.9 (or so) inch phone, thanks for the topic and the information!
edit:
can't find it on ebay? Only find some with 1 suction cup.... also found this on DX:

Anyone who have this one?

the DX one? I don't think it will hold it if you are not driving on a flat (tarmac) surface.... so I am looking for a more stable/secure one
ps why do you have your internet speed in your sig? is that high in the USA?
I got this one from ebay here.
I have tried this on most road surfaces: Tarmac, concrete, off road(I mean really bad roads). Not had a moments bother. The dual suction cup works really well. Added bonus of being able to remove the part which you put your TF in and leave the stem still attached. The stem is bendable, but stiff so not to move whilst holding the TF.
Like I said, very happy with it and worth the money imho.

I personally wouldn't trust just one suction cup.

THanks for the reply and link! Can you explain how the mount works, or make a photo of it without the asus in it? because it looks like there is no support on the bottom of the device? and how do you clip it in? Hope you can help me buy one
i don't think I would trust suction cups in general. Back when I had an Ipad 2 I picked up a mount that attached to the car seat. You basically loosen a bolt, and it mounts in between the bolt and the seat, you tighten it back up and that's it! After I picked up my tf I tried it out in my car and it works perfecttly. I guess I can't link yet.. but I found mine at mount guys dot com, but I've seen similar ones elsewhere.

Yeah. Give me 5 minutes.

Here you go, a couple more pics.
The mount itself isn't just designed for the TF. I think it is universal. The sides are adjustable and release the TF via the switch underneath.
