I love my speck case but there's no way i can take it on and off my Note everytime i go somewhere. Anyone know of a car mount that will fit mid size cases??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Doesn't have to be specifically a speck case, just something with extra room..
Universal or phone specific? I use a Bracketron universal holder fitted to a cupholder mount. They also have suction cup for windshield/ dashboard mounts as well as vent mounts. They sell at BB and a few others. Typically around $30 or so. Mine expands very wide and should have no issues fitting the Note with any case on it.

Here is the mount in my current configuration:
It might be rotated but you'll get the idea.

Wow that's exactly what i need. Can i get a link to the piece the holds the note itself? And are the suction cups/ cup mounts interchangeable?

Might want to give this one a look:

Just ordered the Exomount Universal. Should have it in a few days. Had to order it with a Galaxy Nexus screen protector and case plus car charger since everyone is sold out of the black mount only. Still cheaper off Amazon than direct from Exogear and whatever I sell the extra stuff for makes the mount even cheaper= win.

How does it scratch the phone? Or are you just having a hard time getting it pulled off?
Anyways...I bought http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grip-IT-Vent-Mount-Kit/20451899 this mount last Christmas on a roadtrip to hold my Inspire 4g in a CaseMate.
It holds my note just fine as well. Mounts in my vent, all buttons/ports are accessible, very adjustable, rotates for landscape just fine.
Depending on your vents it may work pretty well. It worked fine in my gfs focus, and is perfect in my jeep. Yes it fits my note with speck with room to spare.

Hey everyone, I know there's been talk of this case but I just got mine today. Although it does add bulk, the phone is well protected. I personally am willing to sacrifice the thinness of the phone to protect my 200 dollar phone. All the holes are correct on the case and overall I am very satisfied with it. Money well spent.

I would've kept this case if it wasn't so hard to it get in and out of my pockets because of the rubber edges.

Does anyone know of any gps mounts that fits perfect with the otterbox defender case? Thanks.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I just cut the clips off a Garmin GPS mount, cut the clip off the Otterbox belt holster, and epoxied the two together. So far it's working well for me, though I never used the belt holster in the first place.

Funny that website actually inspired me. I forgot I had a broken otterbox belt clip and an extra garmin gps mount. So I combine the two with some reinforced industrial strength glue. It also fits snug without the glue. So the glue added that extra seal. Saved $30. Here's some pic's. Thanks it really got me to think..

I use a Bracketron unit. I've had it for a few years now. They make them with different mounting options. From windshield to vent to the cupholder version I use. They are like 30 at BB or can be had much less online. They are fully adjustable for size, tilt and swivel. I'm going to take a picture to give you an idea.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe he should watch the road, or get a car that's so entertaining to drive that a movie isn't needed...
Got my Mountek CD slot mount today. Installed in my Audi Q5. Looks great, it only went in about 80-90% of the slot but it feels really secure and tight. Best solution for mounting I've seen so far.

im using this one www . proclipusa . com/brodit-device-holder/proclip-other-holders/regular-adjustable-holder-with-tilt-swivel-for-wider-devices-with-or-without-a-skin-875214A-13978.aspx
...doesnt work with reiko premium hybrid case.. actaly works if i remove rubber part
ps: remove spaces in the link
I have a Proclipusa [Brodit] mount in my Toyota Prius and it's great. I've been using Proclip mounts forever and highly recommend them. They're expensive, but they're precise and I think there is enough room in the back for an extended battery as it just has rails on the side that hold the phone with a big space behind it.
I'd take pictures, but I use my phone to take pictures.
It's a two piece mount. One part fits your phone perfectly, while the other part fits your car perfectly and mate together for a perfect fit.

No they wont, and you can have a CD in the player and still listen to it, you just cant eject it or load one obviously. Ive been looking at these for awhile and still flip flopping back and forth. To get he best idea of how they work just watch an installation video on it and you'll see it's quite simple and seems to be a very solid mounting method.
I prefer windshield mounts, as I can look at them while still keeping an eye on the road. Looking down at my dash I might as well be holding the phone..
Arkon is my preferred brand, their suction cup is very large and holds up well, I've had an Arkon Universal 14" for several years and it works great for my car with a long windshield, I bent the 14" arm so it comes off the windshield, touches the dash, then has the phone pointed at me, so no bouncing or vibration. They have a larger mount, but the Universal I have (slightly different than the current one, so might check specs) worked fine for my Nexus One and works fine for my Note.
I use the Samsung OEM mount, it's super solid, charges and has a 3.5mm Audio-out jack to run into your car's AUX-In.
I have two, one is vent mounted, the other is window mounted above my speedometer.

The above works just fine on my i717.

Would you guys consider the bodyglove slimmer than the Amzer cases? http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Luxe-Ar..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334277058&sr=1-2
I bought two cases
one for $3 from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/White-Rubberi..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334610692&sr=1-11
and the other one for $10 from Radioshack
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11791815&filterName=Brand&filterValue=HTC
I liked the latter one and am currently using it.
Don't buy the Body Glove slim profile case
Worst case I have ever purchased. The outside material feels nice but it is a very cheep casting. The edges are not smooth. when you hold the phone to your ear the edge of the case hurts your face and ear. It doesn't cover the top and bottom front edge. these edges will end up scratched up and the rest of the phone will be in good shape.
P.S. If you are willing to pay for the shipping you can have mine for free. My zip code is 93036. That's how much I don't like it.
Hey Guys -
I know the wireless charging will work because of the Qi standard, but will the phone stay put? Any impressions from those who own it would be appreciated.
I could be wrong but I don't think its magnetic.. the back of the nexus is glass I think the orb is just a rubberized surface that "grab's" the back of the phone.. i.e. just friction holds it on... I think!

Nobody has the orb yet, I think. It just now became available, with shipping withing a week. Plus the shipping time. I ordered one the first day it was available, but don't expect it before the end of next week.
Ok, they are shipping them today. Won't be long before we find out.

I'm with you on this one, because I read it would be compatible with windows 8 and htc phones. And pictures look like the two circles on top are rubber. Just what it looks like to me
I have the touchstone charger and it has magnet in it.
from what I see it is held up 80% by friction, 20% by magnetic force.
Too bad the touchstone wont work on Droid DNA otherwise I think it would be a great charging dock.
Mine will be arriving tmrw (Friday)

Magnet lightly holds. The surface of the orb is quite sticky and holds it just fine by itself - the magnet is obviously less apparent with a case on.

Works like a charm! Together they're a thing of beauty.
So there is a magnet in it? I thought it would only be the anti-slip rubber that they try and sell for car dashboards. One question, does it work with the phone horizontal? That's something my Nokia DT-910 can't do.

Yes there is a magnet, yes it works with the phone in landscape.
However, it doesn't activate DreamScene or whatever it does with the N4 (also doesn't flip home screens to landscape like it does in car mode).

The dream mode is a 4.2 feature so I don't think anyone expected it to be on the DNA. And on stock there isn't landscape homedscreens. You'll either need a Rom or a 3rd party launcher for that.
