Can anyone tell me a good cell phone holder that doesn't mount phone in front of vents and doesn't put holes in the interior. I like the cup holder versions okay. The only one I find says standard size. I did find some good brackets but I'd have to take the dash apart a plus Id like it to be portable anyway.
Any ideas would be great. Thanks for any advice.
Google Proclip, you'll be glad you did.

I checked it out...doesn't it create any problem on sharp turns and moves....??? and what about this product quality...as it would be getting fit on the cigerate lighter slot...it looks quite flexi one...doubt over its quality...can u post the pics that how you have placed it in your car...???
If you have a thin case like a spigen hybrid case the stock Samsung car cradle fits just fine. You just fit in it. No case it fits with ease. With a thin case its a snug fit but it fits. Couldn't do like an otterbox it anything in it though.

No not at all, on the actual cigarette holder there's a adjustable knob that tightens it. Only weird thing is it doesn't charge on the 2 amp setting but charges very well on 1amp. Maybe it's mislabeled? Or maybe my cable.

I've been using ExoGear ExoMount car mounts for years. I have tent original version in black, and the new second version in white. They work great and allow you to use almost any device in them, as the mount is adjustable. The Note 3 in a bulky case fits without a problem, as will smaller devices. The are available in black or white.
Recently I just got my TechMatte 1 touch car mount on the mail. It is awesome and you only need one hand to get your phone locked in to it! My Note 3 with a TPU case fits in this mount great, but with a larger case it wouldn't. I like that the TechMatte mount has a small button behind where the phone sits, and to lock the phone in you just set it in place and push the phone against that button which makes the arms grab on to the phone and lock it in until you're ready to remove it. Works awesome!
The ExoGear ExoMount is about $20, but the TechMatte mount is only $7.99 from Amazon right now! I expected it to be cheaply made and not function very well considering the price. I was shocked when it arrived as it is constructed very well, has 2 places to adjust the viewing angle, and works flawlessly!! I highly recommend the TechMatte car mount if you use a TPU case or or something similiar. If you use a large case, then the ExoGear will be the best choice.
Here's the link to the TechMatte car mount on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G3KN9LI/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?qid=1383323938&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
TechMatte also makes a car mount similar to the ExoGear ExoMount. It is much cheaper in price, but I've never tried it so I can't speak of it's quality or function. Here's the link to it on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FEOT32S/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1383323938&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

If you don't use your CD player (or don't switch CDs often), the Mountek mount is excellent. I've been using one for a couple of years, for phones and GPSs, and never had a problem, even on bumpy roads.

I love the Mountek. I think it is the best mount ever. The only bad thing is I just bought a Ford Flex with MyFord Touch, Nav and a 10" display, so that mount now blocks the screen. But I have no need to mount my new Note 3 since I just pair it with bluetooth, so it just sits in the center console tray now.

Thanks for showing the button. I've been wanting to get a car mount for awhile but the ones I looked like just didn't seem like they would lock into place very securely.
I do like TechMatte products. I have their screen protector on my iPhone 4S and my best friend has one for his Galaxy. Very nice products, great pricing. I think you may have convinced me to get the car mount. I could really use one.

You'll be very pleased with it! I have their screen protector on my Note 3 and love it. It is definitely the best I've ever used, and I've tired MANY different brands over the last 6-7 years of owning touch screen phones!

Hi all.
I'm looking for a car holder for my TP2. Can anyone make a recommendation? I'm UK based and I'd rather not pay silly amounts on delivery other than that I'm open to all suggestions?
So far I've seen and like the Boxwave car holder. Only problem is they're a US company and they charge quite a bit for non-US delivery.
Thanks in advance
I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brodit-car-...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855076&sr=8-24
I combined it with my Richter holder (this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/HERBERT-RIC...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855152&sr=8-3 ) because I had a HTC Touch Pro before.
I have the CM929-S: Swivel Vent PDA Car Mount from Arkon that I got from eBay a while back for around $10. It works pretty well with the TP2, and I like it better than suction-cup mounts because it won't fall off. Although, I do like the idea of a unit-specific mount if I could find one.

the Richter holder looks perfect!
Wait Spartan: The richter holder I posted is for TOUCH PRO 1 not Touch Pro 2! You can use the Richter "arm" (don't know the right word) and add the brodit holder.
if you are going to go Arkon, may as well go with the powered mount
http://www.arkon.com/poweredpdamount.php?selFeat=usb_mini
the speaker is fairly useless... the TP2 speaker is louder
does have 2 USB charge port though, 1 at 1.2a (fast charge!) and another at 600ma
a little thicker than the none power version but worth it
so you can charge 1 phone and another device... or a friends phone too
I combine it with a proclip vechile mount and its perfect!
I just got the box wave kit. The quality is good and you can fit the TP2 in landscape with keyboard out and portrait.
They dont give you a dash disk to mount on your dash but suction cup is huge should mount on any window. They also give you a HVAC vent hook as well.
I'd give it a 7/10.

Much sturdier in reali life than the pictures suggest. Good selectioon of attachments etc. Way better than the ebay one I had for my Touch pro.
I was just about to ask the same question. Don't you just wish there was a genuine HTC one like the sexy HD2 mount...

Ordered... thanks!!! It says it has its own charging port, too. By the looks of it it should be pretty nice.
Just picked mine up from the Sprint store. It's fantastic. It feels durable, has a removable slot sizing piece so it can accommodate phones with cases, and it comes with a disc for dash mounting if you don't want to window mount it. I love it!
Is this the official one made by HTC? Like the official one for the EVO 4G?
Yeah it is. I saw it today when I picked my phone.
It's really nice. I held off for now though. I've already bought like three cases and want to get a nice sd card...it adds up

Yes I will fit and charge the phone too
no Otter box will fit in this car dock, the body glove case is too big it barely goes in at all and it's thinner than the Otterbox defender and commuter by a long shot.
The ones sprint are selling doesn't have the adjustment knob to adjust the mount up and down, it only has the tilt ball adjustment. On Igrips web site theirs shows an adjustment knob at the top of the arm to tilt it up and down and sprints have identical clips on both sides with no knob, making it a bit difficult to get it exactly where you want it

No it's made by iGrip, not HTC. Just picked it up in the store. I'ts not like the HTC Evo 4G dock at all. This still seems nice though and about $20 cheaper if I remember correctly.

Sunction mount and vehicle disc made in Germany

http://www.igrip.us/ Here it is on their page. The mount itself is seperate from the part that holds the phone so in theory for your next phone you could just buy the phone holder and pay less.
Edit: it does put it into car mode though.
The Commuter kinda fits.. if you press down it will charge, but it won't stay that way, you also need to remove the soft USB cover (fine by me)..
It's so close to fitting perfectly I think I'm just gonna dremel it a bit at work on Monday..
I'm looking to find something decent to stick my note 3 in while I use runkeeper on a run. Does anyone use the note 3 for running?
I used to use my s2 (and I still could), but I have a galaxy gear and would like to use the runkeeper app while running. Obviously I can't do that with the s2.
Also I used to use an armband and bought a cheap one for this but it feels and looks ridiculous.

I'm with hznberg on this one, don't get an armband. I have one (designed for n2 originally), and I feel like a goof running with it. Get yourself a hydration belt/fanny pack. I have a nathans half marathon belt I use now, fits really snug but fits. Still looking for a suitable bluetooth set as the cord gets annoying from that length.

This is what I (and my wife with a note 2) use http://www.thegrommet.com/made-in-the-usa/flipbelt-athletic-personal-pack-all
I'm 6'3 and about 190 and I got the large size. It fits a caseless note 3 albeit pretty snug. If I had it to do over, I'd get the XL which would probably fit my cased note but Im fine taking the case off when I run. I also use a samsung bluetooth reciever that accepts a 2.5 jack so I can use whatever buds/headphones I want to plug in. Works out nicely. I put the note in a leather fanny when Im riding though because I need keys, garage opener etc.
I'm sure there are cheaper things out there but I like this

That's pretty sweet. I bought a belt clip sac that had great reviews but ended up hating it. Your option looks much more comfortable. I usually just run with my phone in my hand, lol. I use these bluetooth headphones and love them, they last long and are super easy to pair. The volume is solid too.

I'll just copy and paste what I put in the Zerolemon thread I imagine this would work with most large cases seeing as the ZL case is huge.
Just in case anyone has been looking for one I found an armband that actually fits with the ZL case, granted it's snug but fits great a little hard to get in at first because of the side grips but once you use it a few times it will loosen up. I searched but didn't see anyone posting about an armband for the N3 that'd fit with the ZL case everything else was for naked or slim cases. I got it for 12 bucks shipped and sent it one day shipping ups which was nice. It came with cheap pink headphones (I just gave them to my kids) they got the same with different headphones for a few bucks more. It's listed for the Galaxy Mega but is perfect for the ZL/N3 combo. Hope this helps someone!

I bought an OSO mount via Amazon after I found the EXO mount on Amazon US. It seems to be the same product. But any of these search terms will pull up a mount that is at least similar to those two. I have mine mounted on the structured plastic dash in the middle of my Smart 451 and it didn't come off yet. And I could only find bery few ratings where people were not satisfied. I got me the mount that comes with something like an extension arm and I'm glad I did. All other mounts on my screen would put the phone too far away to operate and the other mounts that go on the dashbord would place the phone right in the middle of the windscreen and blocking the view. But both, OSO and EXO have different models to chose from.
Thanks Mikegrmn
Looks good.

I'm not in the UK, but, I am using the iBolt dock and love it. It works with the entire Galaxy and Note lines. Here is the link to the Amazon UK site.

I'm in the UK. And you're right most of the decent mounts are us made. I only buy the slip grip mounts as they take our phone whilst in a case.

I'd assume so. I didn't try, but from how it holds up on my structured dashboard, a screen shouldn't be a problem. I had tried it on the smoother surface on our kitchen countertop and had problems removing it
The suction cup itself is sticky. This most likely causes that it holds strong on textured surfaces. And the cup is also thicker in material than what I saw on GPS units. The only thing that is, due to the thick material is, that it acts a bit like a suspension damping. So there is a little wiggle room when you touch the device. I'm not sure if it's clear what I want to say, but it doesn't feel like screwed or welded to something. Hope this gets it better across.
I compared my nexus 6 to my HD camcorder from quiet a few years back. They are very close in quality. Having a 64gb device, I figured it might be easier to record with my nexus 6 for birthday parties etc for basic events, but I'd need a tripod mount. The ones on eBay aren't big enough it seems.
Any ideas?
I found one guy who has cool ones that have a handle that turns into a mini stand but the plates aren't compatible to this phone.
Thanks
I use the iStabilizer flex with a cheap mount from ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-Universa...2910?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item27f62bb07e
I originally purchased that mount for the oneplus one, it works with the nexus 6 it fits snug though. if you do buy it double check the dimensions of your phone + case and the description of the bracket
Ok, thanks. I seen some of those but they appeared too small for the width of the n6. I found this guys, which I really like the setup to hold it easily for events such as a birthday party, but he doesnt have a compatible one for the N6. Each has a different camera cutout too. The hand held grip looks convenient.

Maybe they will make one eventually.
I did find this one that lists the nexus 6, but I cant tell if the adapter comes off so I could put it on a tripod stands adapter.

In case it helps, I can personally confirm that the phone clamps found on cheapie selfie sticks on Amazon fit the Nexus 6 just fine even with a slim case on it.
My wife picked up this selfie stick over the holidays, and the clamp worked fine on my Nexus 6.
I even picked up a few replacement holders of the same type (probably from the same factory) and have used them for magnetic mount purposes around the house.
The reason I mention it is that the holders all appear to have a standard sized monopod/tripod threaded mount point. I don't have a ton of experience with tripods and such so forgive me if there are wildly variable thread sizes, but the clamps I posted all fit like a glove on the one tripod that my wife picked up years ago.
Anyhow, hopefully this will help your search!

Please pardon my ignorance, but what exactly would these be used for?

To clamp the phone in place while the mount itself is threaded into place on a monopod/tripod.

I am using a Shoulderpod S1.
Here is my review in amazon for the tripod with the Shoulderpod mounted on it.
