Anyone recommend an in car mount for TP2 (for when using as sat nav).
Thanks
I've used Brodit mounts for several HTC phones, and have been very satisfied. The one for the TP2 will let you mount vertically, or horizontally with the keyboard open or closed. They're a bit pricey, but well worth it.
I've used one of the Rocketfish generic mounts from Bestbuy before, which is about $25. It actually worked pretty well, but is also quite chunky -- definitely not the most svelte option available. However, it does have the added advantage of being versatile enough to hold a variety of products (MP3 player, TP2, GPS, etc.)
Brodit mount
I have just realised that I had a Brodit mount, it was for the dash not the windscreen, but I have just adapted my old Ipaq mount to it and it looks and works a treat. I had never heard of Brodit before, but they are really good.
Have drill will travel!!

i ordered one based on a recomondation from here from obostore.com. it is built for the touch pro 2 so it snaps in perfectly, rotates 360 and keyboard can slide open. best of all its 5 bucks with free shipping. its coming from hong kong so it took about 10 business days. the one negative as that the suction is not as strong as id would like it to be but if you set the gooseneck where you want and leave it alone its fine. i hope that helps. you cant go wrong for 5 bucks. let me know if you have any questions.
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.

Thanks! Ordered the TechMatte's version of ExoGear. It does say it works with N3 and these clip ones better. Will give feedback when I receive it.

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!
I agree with you though, I also have quite a few different TechMatte products and I'm thoroughly impressed with each and every one!

My Layblock wallet case should be here any day now. I ordered it almost 2 weeks ago. Anyone else order one? This is the most I've ever paid for a case, but since the phone is so big it will be nice to combine my wallet and phone into 1 item so I no longer have to carry 2 bulky items around in my pants.
The couple YouTube reviews I watched raved about this case and how good it was.

I absolutely love the look of this case. I even almost bought one (Camel Brown) during Black Friday because Layblock was offering a 15% discount, but was still somewhat put off by the price. Ultimately, I decided against it when I came across some Chinese S-View knockoff cases. I still continue to check ebay and Zoarah for price drops on the Layblock case. The ebay price is about $10 more than the regular price around Thanksgiving, so I definitely wouldn't buy this case now. Another manufacturer that makes nice cases is Wetherby (Korean). One thing about the Layblock case that I simply couldn't get past is the massive cutout for the camera, and it was like that for all the colors. I just couldn't pay close to $60 for a case and settle for that. The tolerances on the knockoff S-View cases I have are very good.

Lovely wallet. Please share some actual photos when it arrives.
Also, be sure to use a screen protector with that. I can see all those cards scratching against the glass.

Please be sure to use a GLASS screen protector with your case. Especially if you are going to be putting cards in all 3 slots for the case. You will find that over time the cards will start to etch lines into; and create uneven wear on the oleophobic coating an unprotected screen. The standard screen protector (I was using a Zagg Shield on my Note 2 when it happened to me) WILL NOT protect you from this. I think it's the pressure of the cards pressed up against the glass for long periods of time that create this problem.
I loved my wallet case for my Note 2, and paid about $50 for it, until I saw this starting to happen. I have one for my Note 3, the Poetic version. .. It only cost me $13 shipped... but have yet to use it, even though I do have a a glass screen protector. I plan for limited use eitherway, on a night when I'm going out, or want to class up my device a little bit. Even my glass screen protector has an oleophobic coating, and while it is replaceable, I don't want to accelerate the wear and tear on it... that thing was dammed expensive.

Looks okay but I prefer the imagnet...
I love ProClip's holders. You select the custom mount for your car, and then the custom mount for you phone. I've owned several brands of custom clips throughout the years, and I've never been happier.

After having tried several car mounts, I have come to a point where I do not want any snake-type car mount - the ones with extensible, adjustable arm ... with time, and car vibrations, they do not really stick in place, and dangle around a little bit.
Lately I happened to pick a glass screen cover from xtreme guard where they offered promotional Flozu car mount + a 90% discount coupon ... at the end, it was really a deal for the both of them..
I have been using the flozu mount since around 1 month now, very solid, top notch. secure suction locking mechanism, seems to hold much stronger to the windshield than my previous ones. The absense of the extensible arm made it VERY stable in terms of vibration and permanent "dangle" . It holds my note 3 firmly (not strongly) between its pliers, and manipulating the plier to open it is very easy - not complicated spring-loaded buttons to press - which get worse with time - which you see on other models. Seriously recommend.
Here is the link to the Flozu mount:
http://www.xtremeguard.com/product-p/car-mount-flozu.htm
mine came today (Flozu mount), fairly quick standard shipping delivery. I expect it'll do a very good job. At first I thought it was rather pricey ($49.99 USD) but then the 75% off discount code appeared -- can't find anything decent in the stores for $12.75! easy to mount to the windshield, nice firm grip of my unprotected S3 (countdown to upgrade: 3days). I'll update after having used it awhile.

I use mountek products. one of the most stable products to use by locking it in your cd slot or between the dash crevices. Great as some states may not allow suction cup mount on glass.
http://www.mountek.com/shop/
Airframe+
I use the Kenu Airframe+. Mounts in the vent and holds really well. Also works as a kick stand since it's small and you can carry it around with you with you're not in the car.
Best mounting system I've ever owned, but it's not cheap.

I use this holder for my Note 3. Its been good for a year now and cheap.
Can twist it for landscape or portrait and can hold any phone as most of us use cases on our phones it will fit any phone... One problem is your car will need to have strong vents and not too deep directors inside as the back will need to grip onto those.

I've had this mount for around 2 years and I love it! 2 of my friends got it after they saw mine.
I hardly ever use my CD changer but it still functions normally if you do.
In my car it puts the phone in the perfect place. Here's a few pictures of it in my car so you know how it looks.
Hello
In the past I used only phone specific holders like proclip. Works fine but expensive. Now the kids want to use the car too so I changed to an universal holder.
Now I use http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN7BU
Fits the s4 mini and my Note 3 too.
Besides the holder you'l need:
Ball base http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-202U
Arm: http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-201U-A (various lengths available).
Not cheap but you by it once.

I got a simple silicon mat on ebay - sticks like glue to the dash and you can just slap the phone on it (gently) and it sticks even on bumpy roads. And if it gets dusty you can just wash it in water - works brilliantly and cost me about $5
Looks a little like these but the 'bumps' aren't so noticeable on mine.
ProClip
I've used ProClip mounts in two different trucks with three different phones. I wouldn't use anything else. You buy the mount in two pieces - one piece for the vehicle, that's specific to the vehicle, and where in the vehicle you want to mount the phone. It has tabs that insert into the existing seams of your car's interior. No drilling, no bolts to unscrew, a very clean installation. The other piece you buy for the phone (or tablet, or GPS unit). They have many phone mounts each designed to fit a specific phone - as long as you don't have a case on it. They also have phone mounts that are more universal in nature for those that use a case. Any of the phone mounts will attach to any of the vehicle mounts.
It's expensive - each piece has cost me between $35 and $40, so around $75 when you first buy the system. But if you get a new phone, you only have to replace the phone mount. If you get a new car, you only have to replace the vehicle mount.
It's a premium mount. It holds your phone firmly in place, and it's a clean , professional looking installation. I think it's worth the cost.
For my Note 3, I've been using the Exogear ExoMount Touch -http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-touch-one-touch-car-mount-holder.html . The reusable adhesive pad works surprisingly well and it is a cinch putting in and taking out my Note 3, even in my Urban Armor Gear case. Simply put the phone into the mount and the arms snap close around the device, and to remove I just press the release buttons. Easy in, easy out.
The one issue I had was one one occasion the tightening nut cracking, but I think that was as a result of me carelessly over-tightening on one occasion. The company quickly sent me a free replacement, however.

Not sure where you are, but mine's been through some pretty hot days with the car parked in the sun and no problems. Silicon shouldn't melt - it melts around 1400ºC - if your car is getting that hot you'd have to be approaching the Sun I think. Maybe yours was plastic?
Just check my history on dx.com, and yes, it seems you were right, it was PVC, must say I didn't check that as it said made for car dashboard.
Anyway, just be careful what you buy.

I second the RAM mounts. I use the cupholder version, then the ball arm, and the X clip. I can even swap out the attachment with my medium/large RAM holder that fits a nexus 7, or my large holder that fits an ipad air. Ram mounts aren't cheap, but they're versatile and built to last. I'll never need to buy another mount system again, unless I find a really oddball device in the future and need a new attachment for the Ram.
I finally found the perfect mount for my taste. Universal + with charge function.
http://www.1a-pc-shop.de/shop/hr-30417-universal-smartphone-charging-dock.html
You cand adjust the x and the z axis of the power connector holder at the bottom. There are 5 adapters included for different cables. Works very well with my usb 3.0 car charger. Silicon case no problem.
Now I just slide in the Note 3 and it charges. And this should work for many devices to come.
