I just received that dock yesterday. First impressions are very good. One small exception.
I use the Platinum case that I got at Best Buy, which is essentially the same as the Seidio case.
The phone docks fine, but the case causes the phone to "tilt" a bit to the left. Even with the sleeve out of the dock, it still tilts a bit and does not seat all the way.
But it is barely noticeable and the dock works great.
If you get this dock, be advised that it does not come with a microUSB cable for connecting the dock to your 12v supply in your vehicle. But if your former phone was an EVO 4G like me, you probably have many of those cables laying around any way.
If you do not use a case, however, with the sleeve in the phone fits like a glove.
If you have seen or used the Seidio dock for the OG, like I did, the first thing I can say about this new dock is even though the EVO LTE is larger than the OG, the dock is less intrusive on the windshield.
Thanks, but i mainly just need something to hold my phone. I don't use the NAV on my phone anymore, so i just need something so my phone isn't sitting in my cupholder.
looks sexy but...
I just got my Diztronic case which is absolutely the perfect case and it will not fit in the dock. Not quite sure what to do... I'm leaning towards returning the dock.
EDIT:
after taking the insert out and using the pads in the box it works great!

It does tilt a bit, but that's what those two tiny foam pads that came with it are for. I put one on the right bottom side and the other on the middle nearer to the backside of the phone. It's almost perfectly balanced now.

I have the same case and it fits fine in the car dock. Did you remove the extra insert? There's an insert (adapter) that is in there for a naked LTE. It just pops right out and your Diztronic covered LTE will fit right in there. Make sure to use the two foam pieces on the right hand side so your phone doesn't tilt.

This is what I used with my Photon and it works perfectly with the evo lte. Just turn it sideways and turn on car mode. It holds TIGHT to the windshield and wont come off.. even in Texas heat. For extra fun take a nfc tag and have it auto launch car dock when near
It looks like my next phone is going to be a Note 3. Does anyone have any experience with a windshield mount that will work with their case? The case will need to have a holster with belt clip. My current windshield mount is from slipgrip, but most of the cases they offer a mount for on the Note 3 don't seem to have the holster option.
I drive on some pretty rough roads so I need something that will stay stuck to the window and not let the phone bounce out. I use my phone as a GPS, so the windshield mount is kind of important.
See if my car holder plus wireless charger suits your needs.

It is very very sturdy. Suction on windscreen is awesome. Even after releasing button the suction is awesome abs have to really pull to get it off. Have four other holders and they don't even come close. Screen had frozen a few times due to cold and it stays on when usually my others would have fallen off.
I use it for sat navigation and Google music streaming usually and works great.
The holder had a depression where I insert the wireless charger. You could easily accommodate a belt clip in it.
Looks interesting. The only down side I see if it looks to take 2 hands to place or remove the phone. I don't always wear a bluetooth headset, so one handed removal and installation is kind of important.

I have been looking for this in the states, but cannot find it anywhere. They are getting ridiculous on ebay.
Did LG stop making them?
Might you know the official LG part number for the car dock?

i dont know the LG part number. The one i got is made by some one else for the LG WCP300 qi charger, i use the koolpuck qi charger in it as its a lot cheaper. The car holder is called SMART FIT2 cradle (TCD-C800P) and says designed by NEIM for LG Mobile
Not sure if its made by LG or NEIM as in the front it has a hologram sticker on the box saying FOR LG MOBILE. it was less than 25$ when i bought it, and i sent my video link to seller as was happy with product and he withdrew listing and later found all sellers had increased prices from 200$ to 600$ which is crazy. Very few sellers and hence probably demand has gone up. But the product is great and i want to buy another one too but not at these crazy prices! Hopefully soon the prices will come down once other sellers start selling the same seeing demand.
The suction is awesome and i dont think suction can get any better. One handed shouldnt be an issue as you put it in the holder when you sit in car before you drive and later only remove it when you get off. quick release button is efficient. I use the speakers on the phone as i dont like bluetooth headphones or ear pieces. The volume is loud enough for me to use google music and google navigation and phone calls come via the car speakers as mine is an older car where the music doesnt come through the car stereo and only phone calls come through car stero bluetooth connection.
I have the first and second version of the Exogear Exomount. While they have amazing suction to almost any semi flat surface AND work with cases , they do take 2 hands to put your phone in. I also have a TechMatte car mount which has a button in the middle of the back. When that button is pressed, when you put your phone in it, the mount closes down on the device. It has foam padding on each side, so it will not scratch your phone. The only issue you might have with it would be using big cases. My Spigen Bounce and Diztronic TPU fit in the mount snug, but I'm afraid that a bigger case might not fit.
Here's a link to it :

SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
I use this from Techmatte. Works great for me
I had an iOttie one touch for my previous phones. The suction cup mount works *very* well. Better than anything I've seen before.

To lock the phone you just place the phone in the dock and push it in. It pushes a button in the center and pulls the sides in, locking the phone in securely.
To remove, you hit two buttons on the side which releases the tension.
One handed in, one handed out.
Oh, and it's very sturdy. Doesn't bounce around like other cheaper mounts.
I ended up going with the slipgrip again. It works well for the Spigen case I ordered, so all is well.
For the last few weeks I have been using my Padfone X quite often. It has become a conversation piece. Most people get stunned when they see a phone that transforms into a tablet. Not too sure why the market is not flooded with devices equal to or similar to this but its a shame that ATT no longer offers this model. I have no regrets for this purchase.
I was put on recently about a huge blowout sale ATT had on the Incipio Folio cases now going for $10 on the ATT store. These folio cases normally ran for $70, and yet most of us cannot conjure purchasing a neoprene cover for such a price that does really nothing to protect the device and the phone other than give it a "more professional look".
The folio case has been going on strong so far, jumping right into it here are the pros and cons:
PROS:
-Comes in various colors to match your preference
-Gives the device a real professional tablet feel
-Folio flap is very tough and will do a good job protecting the station screen
-The included phone folio matches the look of the station folio and gives the phone a sturdy feel
-When the flap is extended it can keep the Padfone station upright at about a 45 degree angle
-It does what it is
CONS:
-It is only one of the two foolio cases available, the ASUS branded case is still going for $60
-Power button is kind of stiff after putting the case on
-Tablet does not detect when the folio flap is closed
-Cannot use the ASUS Padfone Bluetooth keyboard in combination with the Folio case, however can be kept seperate and still work.
-The phone folio case has to be placed on with a special passive adhesive over the original padfone back cover, should you wish to remove it, you'll have to buy another one to place on if you do.
-Orientation is a bit difficult in panorama mode when wanting to keep the station upright, flap does not flip back 180 degrees, only 45 degrees. Its almost like youre forced to keep the padfone upright, despite the cameras placement which is not exactly upright friendly.
I am not gonna complain much because of two factors, its a folio case and I got it for $10 and it was the cheapest licensed folio available. Not too many accessories for the Padfone X, but if youre looking for a cheaper alternative to the ASUS branded folio, this is the way to go
I took a Dremel to mine and got the back cover to work with the keyboard. Obviously, this means the screen cover flap had to go. It's good enough to keep fingerprints off of the station when in laptop mode and still protects it from surface scratches. I went ahead and ordered a second $10 Incipio set to swap the station into in case I feel like leaving the keyboard at home.

There's photos on the AT&T website, quite representative.
Also I don't think the tablet can detect when the folio flap is closed even for the official ASUS case, there's just no sensor (magnetic or proximity) in the tablet body.
I just received mine yesterday, also for $10 shipped. I agree 100% with all the observations.
So, I ended up with the official ASUS PadFone X Folio Bundle and thought I'd do a compare and contrast.
First off, I don't know why I didn't think of it before but it is obvious now that the ASUS Folio for the phone is an add-on (versus a back cover replacement) due to the added cost of adding NFC and PMA antennas/receivers, which are attached to the inside of the back cover.
Continuing on with the phone folio, the ASUS Folio replaces the original back cover. Interestingly enough, it must be specific to the PadFone X because it retains the AT&T logo. The front flap has an ASUS logo and a cutout for the earpiece, so that a phone call can continue with the cover closed.
In regards to the PadFone X Station folio, the ASUS Folio has cutouts on the front flap for the front-facing speakers. In addition, the sides are fully covered where the Incipio leaves the sides exposed. The ASUS folio covers the volume and power buttons but does not require any additional pressure, unlike the Incipio cover. On the back, the ASUS Folio also protrudes a little because it covers the bottom of the dock where the phone connects, while the ASUS leaves that exposed. This makes the Incipio a little more sturdy when you fold the front flap back all the way to act as a stand. Finally, the ASUS Folio's front flap has three sections, while the Incipio is just one sturdy piece.
The last difference is the primary reason why I am sticking to the original ASUS Folios.
Does anyone know if the wireless qi charging works with the incipio phone back cover? Thx

Unless the cover is metallic, it will work. Metal will disrupt the charging capabilities and can sometimes hurt wireless chargers. Pretty sure this is not a metal case.
EDIT:
Now I understand your question - the incipio brand is a replacement back cover too - which means it probably doesn't have the metal leads or powermat receiver built-in.

It's not a replacement, just an additional stick-on. Should work. Only worry is the increased distance from the charger.
I just tested the official wireless charger's distance, and it works while about half an inch away - I guess as long as the wireless pad you're using is a Powermat standard then it should be NO PROBLEM. I didn't test to see the limit of the wireless charger, but I know that the Qi standard is less powerful. Powermat devices like the Asus Padfone X/S can still charge with Qi but it's been my experience that Qi chargers only work about 1/4th of an inch away or less - and they charge much more slowly.
Just don't get metal in between the charging pad and the phone and you're okay.
I just had a chat with ProClip USA, they said that they will be making a custom holder for the N6.
Tal; We will be designing a holder for the Nexus 6. This design process generally takes between 4 and 6 weeks once the design team obtains the device, but can take longer depending on the device. Once we have a custom holder available for your device we will send you an email with a link to the products.
Tal: If you want to provide your email we can add you to the email notification list. Once the holder is available you will be notified via email.

They have several different versions but yes, you can get one that the phone just docks into and charges. No need to unplug the phone, just pull it out of the charger.

Thank you. I will have to look into this if I decide to go case less. QI in car is just too slow for me.
I don't like the ones with the built-in charger. I like to have the option to unplug. Every phone I've ever owned has given off crazy feedback noise when the power cable and headphone cable are both plugged in but no audio playing.
Any news on this? I bought for my moto x 2nd gen. By the time i received, i had my nexus 6 lol
A general email from Proclip I received a few days ago announced plans to make a Nexus 6 holder. They offered email notifications when it's ready for release.

I bought a universal ProClip just for this, when switching phones, no need to keep buying new cradles
I also have a universal clip and it works wonderfully with my N6.
I also have a universal that fits both my wife's M8 and my N6 with case. Probably won't buy a custom again but will continue to buy custom mounts
can any of you link to the specific universal that fits the nexus 6. want to make sure I make the right purchase, thanks

I'm a big ProClip fan but have never used an adjustable holder before.
I've been looking at the T1 adjustable holder. It's very clear how it adjusts for differing phone widths. What I can't seem to figure out is how it adjusts to differing phone depths. From what I can tell it doesn't. So if you've got a phone with no case, or a thin case, wouldn't it rattle a bit back and forth. How do you make it fit snugly?

If it is a snug fit on the width, it should hold the phone from rocking back and forth, so the depth wouldnt matter too much. I'm not saying squeeze the width of the cradle into a death grip, but a snug fit should hold the phone okay.

The width is fixed based on the rails. They give the width of the rails. What they don't say, and is annoying to me, is the phone doesn't have to fit fully between the rails. Most cases aren't completely flat edged, so just part of the sides need to fit within the rails. If the phone and case are narrower the the rails I usually adjust to the phone, take the phone out and adjust the sides in another hair. There is a little flex I the sides, and there is nothing wrong with a little tension as you slide the phone in.
If anyone else has any ProClip questions, feel free to fire away. I'm a reseller for them since I designed holsters for them back in the old palm/win ce days. Can also save you some money over buying direct, we'll except when they have the rare 25% off Sale. That usually kills it for us resellers.

I can attest to dbpaddler's knowledge of ProClip and his status as a great reseller. I've bought many ProClip custom car mounts and phone holders from him over the years.
Yeah, the T1 holder depth is larger than the phone so if you grab the phone you can sort of tilt it forward or backward. It fits in there snug enough that it isn't flopping around while you drive.
I still want one designed for a naked N6.

They have car specific mounts, Then Mounts for the phones. its kind of a two piece system. I am also waiting for the N6 mount so i can order one and a mount for my Chrysler 300s.

They'll have custom holders for every phone, always. It's just time. If you're using a case on the phone then just get an adjustable, and it will most likely be the last cradle you ever buy. I've had the same 875214 cradle since my Samsung Moment. And it has fit every phone since: Samsung Epic, Galaxy S2-4, Note 2, Note 4, Evo 4g LTE and my Avant. The design has change from adjusting in the four corners to the two in the center which started with their smaller adjutable for the iphone with skins and the BB Pearl.
The reason they're able to make cradles and mounts for just about everything with wheels and everything with a battery is because they machine everything. No high cost molds required. Machining has higher costs overall and doesn't really decrease with volume, hence their stuff comes at a premium (which I try to help with when I can). That's why when I was trying to get holsters designed back in the day, all the usual suspects just laughed at me, including Seidio. No volume, not worth our time. People on a grand scale don't want to put their big smartphones in a belt clip holster. ProClip took a look, started sending me prototypes to test, and for a few years had an exclusive in holsters. Then Seidio realized they were missing the boat, and they hopped on as did the other injection molders, and ProClip's business there dried up since they can't make $5 holsters. Their parent company is Brodit out of Sweden. Everything is designed and manufactured there. I sent a few phones and mp3 players to them for testing over the years. They even made a holder for my Rio Karma (dating myself).
Once in a while they'll have a big sale like they did for Christmas at 25% off. That's a rarity. Legally I can say I can offer you a 10% discount. That's the max they allow resellers to advertise. Key word being advertise. I sell through ebay at 10% off and just pray people email me first so I can save them a little more. Not a lot unfortunately, but it can only be so much otherwise it's not worth my time.
That said, there's no better combined mount and cradle system out there. The only problem is they rely on cracks and crevices in the dash to place the mount. Makes inserting and removal easy, great for leasing. But it also limits locations and sometimes dashes are designed as such that the only placement partially covers a vent or is a console mount that sits really low. Companies such as bracketron and pro-fit make the metal dash mounts that attach to the radio mount screw with pretty good placement usually, but it requires removal of the center dash panel. Not all want to tackle that. You start breaking clips, and it's a bear. Though some stereo installers will do it for a nominal fee. They can also tap in to the fuse box and run a 12v socket behind the dash if you want to clean up the wiring a bit and don't want to do it yourself. Companies like Kuda work similarly for mounting buy they have a leather covered box of sorts that clips in with metal bending clips and you screw in the cradle wherever you want. Pro-fit (I think) also makes adhesive type mounts that can be convenient for locations where others can't go, but don't live in Arizona and such as the heat will take its toll on the adhesive sooner than you'd like. The adhesive doesn't mar the dash though upon removal which is nice. Or you can go with the cheap vent mounts, the bean bag sit on the dash or better yet, the cd slot mount. I like my car too much to do that.
Sorry for the run on. I used to be more active promoting and helping when new phones were out, but it does get time consuming, and the real job is a little more important, so I've dropped off a bit.

2-piece system. The cradle for your phone and the dash mount for your car. The dash mounts are vehicle specific and make use of cracks, seams and crevice they can fit in a slender barbed piece that kind of locks in. Some dashes are more flexible for placement than other. If someone is using it around the vents it usually means that's the only place they had an accessible area to place the dash mount. If you go to this link you can use the drop downs to find your vehicle and see what the mounting options are. It's not universal where you can just go from car to car with the cradle. Well, unless you go with their suction cup mount which works on the windshield. But, if you do have multiple vehicles you can buy one dash mount for each car and a move kit. female piece on each dash mount and the male piece on the back of the cradle. Then you can move the cradle from car to car.
The only thing getting screwed in is the cradle to the dash mount as most people just have one primary vehicle. If you're seeing something universal, it's the adjustable cradle. They do have console mounts that are adjustable and can fit in multiple vehicles, but they are more made for one car installation and just adjust to fit.
Anyone have any nice finding on desktop and in car docking? Other than a brodit active charging cradle I couldn't find anything similar, would like to find something similar to hold the phone up higher a bit than leave it in the center pocket or have it stuck to the windscreen or air vent. Thanks
no body drive here? that cant be true, maybe you happy with any kind of car holders, I like one tht made to fit, so now I'm making my own, 3D Printed, with cutout for camera button, which isn't really needed
I just use a holder that goes into the CD player since I never use it. You want a stand that also works when it's on your desk? Why?
I don't know about other colour of this phone, but I have the one that's like a mirror and it slides around way to easily and I prefer to it to be on a charging dock, I will be designing a holder to add on to the cradle to hold the charge cable so I don't have to pick up the cable and plug it in anymore, just slot the phone in, I made mine to click on air vent
I have the chrome one as well, and I don't use a case or anything, unfortunately I don't even have a screen protector on it right now either. I use this in the car: Exogear Exomount. This works really well in the car, but obviously it won't work for you on your desk. There are lots of holders like this one though that have grips, my phone never slips out of this one.
That looks nice and neat, but I don't need to buy one now after designing and printing my own, just making a addon to hold the charging cable so when I slot the phone in, the cable plugs in like the brodit active charging cradle but doesn't cost me 65euro plus shipping, more like 2euro and few hours drawing in CAD , I will be designing a desktop one as well that also holds the charge cable, I made one for the z5 and was very handy, this phone is terrible for sliding around but it's a brilliant phone to use even with everything stock, the 3D creator is amazingly good too, all other scanner I tried were awful
P.s. I haven't use any sort of protective cover on my phone's since the z1, don't actually need it, and never even scratch a single screen for years, let's hope it stays this way in saying that, this xz premium has slide off the desk I don't know how many times, at least few times a day, but not a mark on it thank God
