Hey everyone,
Ive been searching for a belt clip that lets the screen face outwards. Id like something thats just a belt clip. I cant find anyone on ebay or amazon. Everywhere ive seen only has the belt clips that have the screen facing in.
I want to make a car from an old gps holder. I made one for my old eris for less than 5 dollars.
Secondly Im also trying to find another one to make a mount for my sportbike. Its a pain not to see your getting a call while riding the twisties.
For that I would go with the diamond case and holster combo from best buy. The phone is designed to face in but works just as well facing out. Check ebay or amazon first as they are relatively pricey
I've been KANGBANGED!!!!!
Have you looked at any of the bike mounts?

I use the Otter Box defender case/clip combo. The clip can be used either way, with the screen facing in (very protected) or with it facing out(to use like a dock). On top of that the clip piece locks into full open position, allowing you to use it as a stand. Handy if you want to sit on the desk and have it maintain orientation, and also when using an alarm clock.
The case itself is also pretty resilient. I work for GeekSquad, and after hours one night I literally threw my phone across the 20,000sqft store to see how the case would hold up. No damages at all. Brilliant.
Another cool feature is the non slip silicone outer layer. When I am rolling around in my Jeep, I can plug the phone into my audio aux in, and throw it onto a seat or the center console, and it never slips around.
I know I probably sound like a crazed fanboy, but I am very impressed with the case/clip and have had it for about a month.
I would post a link but apparently I cannot until I make eight posts. Google Otterbox, their site is easy enough to navigate.

I got the two cases.

You and see from pic Sany0162 that the one case is NOT going to work the bottom is WAY to curved for the Flame. Which leaves the other case. In Sany0161, 0164 those two points were straight and were about 2 mm to narrow to fit the flame, but using a heat-gun (or a hair-dryer) I was able to move the plastic out about 1mm on each side. This allowed the case to fit nicely. The clip on the top is a bit tight, it holds the case in REALLY well but I felt it was a little TOO tight and might scratch the top so I heated it and bent it up 1mm in pic Sany0165 you can see it, this causes it to go in real nice but its now has a little play, (not enough to be a security problem its still really in there, but you might want to consider not doing this step..)
Finally you can see in Image1 that the headphone jack is covered, but with a little dremel action that was also fixed (see 0169 and 170).
And thats it... until they make a case this one isn't too bad.
PS: only allowed 5 files so the rest are in the zip
Is there a pouch rather than case? I just want to put the Flame in and take it out to use when it rings. I actually want to use it like how a phone is meant to be used. I don't want to put a case to my face.
You could use the case from an O2 XDA2s... that is what I was using prior, I'm sure you can order it as an accessory...
http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaIIs/template/XdaIIsAccessories.vm
As for the case above, you don't hold that to your face? You slip it in and out of the clip, its a holster style case. Its really only advantage is easier 1-handed removal/insertion, and a smaller profile, (its mostly just the width of the original phone were the pouch is more cause of the flip... but if you want a pouch the XDA2s works quiet well.
Thanks....
Is the belt clip removable?
Not on that one. But there are usually lots of generic pouches, I'm sure you would find a bunch at a large cellular store that would fit the bill.
I'm using an aluminium case that allows to answer calls without opening it, so the screen doesn't get dirty. It adds some size, but if you use the clip belt, that's not a problem. Anyway I only use the Flame for work, so it goes into my case with everything else; for my spare time I use an HTC Touch that fits on any pocket and doesn't bother.
I am getting my new car - a 2004 Mazda 6 with a bluetooth parrot installed so that part should be taken care of...
However when i need to use the satnav on the phone i need a holder that FITS the MAzda 6 dash..
I have had a look at the Brodit holders - either they block the info screen of the Mazda or they cover the air vents - both of which is a great big 'no' from my point of view.
Has anyone inhere got a Mazda 6 and have a cradle they would recommend that doesent look like cheap crap or something out of a horror movie ?
It it ok that it is a universal holder as the missus got a Wildfire - so if it could hold that as well - that would give me wife points so a passive holder is probably what i am looking for.
So - anyonme with actual experience with anything that looks good ?
I use a Clingo Universal Car Phone Mount in my Lexus IS250. It doesn't look too bad. It holds the wife's DHD in a silicone case. It says it won't work on silicone based cases but it does. And I use mine without a case and it works perfect.
Also should the "pad" lose it's stickiness just run under hot water and rub with your finger, dry it and it's as good as new.
This is definately one to consider!
I was looking for something more permanent though that could be installed somewhere on the dash. If that is not possible - then this is the one i will get...
Thank you for your reply
I was looking for exactly the same, this was purely an interim purchase. But It works very well and isn't limited to a particular handset model, so for me it's a keeper.
it's really nice thing
Ok it's ordered from ebay...lets see if it's as good as the video claims (never seems to be the case but lets try it anyways)
I think I got mine for about £16 off ebay.
I had similar issues with Brodit's ProClips in that the one they sold for my 2005 MG ZS didn't actually fit anywhere like what their installation diagrams suggested.
I found DashMount, however, who manufacture similar style mounts, but out of more solid metal sheeting and often in totally different locations to Brodit's mounting.
Have a look at this:
http://www.dashmount.co.uk/index.ph...applicable-with-dealer-fitted-CD-upgrade.html
Alright - so i recieved the Clingo universal hands-free mount - and what a load of ####!
It simply cannot hold the DHD if i have the cig plug charger plugged in it - it falls out of the holder within 2 minutes.
So that was 15£ wasted
Seriously?
Does it fall off the green pad? I've yet to have it fall off the pad. Sometimes it sticks that firmly I struggle getting it off. And is that with your case on?
It could be that the wife's case isn't silicone.
i dont have a silicone case on - it's just the bare phone and nothing more.
I have not yet tried with the wifes wildfire
3 seperate times the phone fell off the holder - and all 3 times it was when i had the charger plugged in. If i leave the charger out i think it can hold it - but then i dont have any more power left on the phone if/when i drive listening to music and using satnav etc
So i think im looking again for a holder that has some gripping arms of some sort - maybe an active holder - i dunno yet...
This clingo holder is not in the glove box - and it stays there...
Hello there,
I bought / use this holder. It perfectly fits the phone, sadly without any type of case. It can be rotated 360 degrees. It can also be found without the gooseneck holder, or with a fixed arm. It has holes for the camera, flash and speaker. The suctioncup is amazing, it is sticking on the windshield for almost a month now. The only anoying thing about the gooseneck is that it bounces around alot because of the weight of the phone. Probably the fixed arm is better but I had no choise.
Good Luck,
Ivan.
I have found an inexpensive and very reliable one that I have been using with my Nokia 6120 classic to my HTC Desire HD 40mm to 110mm adjustment.

Now the one I have is exactly the same but I got it from Media Markt in Germany and it has been with me no less than 10 times across the pond. Thus far its been perfect BUT it is not wide enough for landscape mode unless I rotate the whole thing.
I purchased one of these to hold my phone and was sick of changing mounts every time i got a new phone.
http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html
Its basically a normal suction mount with a little bit of a sticky surface that does not come off on anything. The DHD fits fine and i haven’t had it fly off or wobble as i am driving or turning (and yes i turn sharp at high speeds).
This is probably (apart from a proclip) one of the best universal mounts i have used. The proclip is my choice as its solid and fixed but requires work, this on the other hand is my second choice as i can stick it anywhere in my car and have it suck down without leaving a mark and not have to mess around changing clips.
Features:
•Exomount’s patented suction technology enables you to mount on almost any flat surface such as car dashes, glass, wood, metal,
plastics and even drywall!
•Polyurethane lined grip keeps your phone or GPS safe and secure
•Quickly and easily mount and unmount your phone or GPS with our stylish clip grip holder
•Mounts all smart phones and GPS devices up to 5-inch screens
•Multi-angle rotation for your preferred viewing angle
cheers for the thread
does anyone use this with an otterbox (or similar) case? I'm thinking of buying one of these as there is zero options available for a DHD with a case
also any issues with the patented stick technology or whatever its called becoming not so grippy after x weeks/months?
Try slipgrip mounts for otterbox cases. You can find it on ebay also.

Non mine is still sticky now, i don’t think it is supposed to be super sticky as the gel and stick i think improves the suction. I just purchased another because they are pretty good and it doesnt need to be on a flat surface to work at all.
I've read that vibration might be an issue... we have very bumpy roads where I'm at so I wouldn't like it to be all over the place...
Any further info about this please?

I think there is a video review which says this but i have tried this on a Samsung Galaxy S2, Iphone4,Desire HD and Sensation and it is perfectly fine on bumpy roads. The clamp is strong enough to hold it. You will get the same jigger on say a tomtom or any other mount.
The reason why the clamp is the size it is, so when holding onto phones it doesnt press any buttons on the side of the phone.
Quality isnt that bad for its price and i would think its the best universal mount i have used in a car, i have used many mounts but this one has lasted the longest and seems very promising.
You can even rotate it and mount a tablet in your car!
I have ordered mine from eBay.. will post report as soon as I receive the delivery...
Sent from my Desire HD
I'm a new user of it too, and love it !
Question for you:
Since my dash is not completely straight so I can't put it there (even so it lasts about 1 day), I'm putting it on the windshield, but the arm is so short that I can't find a good place for it.
I put it meanwhile just a lil bit below the mirror, but on a way that the top of the phone is kinda behind the mirror, otherwise its too far and too hard to reach it.
I tried many other places but none was good enough.
Its or too far or blocking the road.. :\
Where do you put it? and where do you suggest me to put?
Thanks,
Yarden.
what a piece of junk! i tried it last night and couldn't find ANY spots in my car (newish 2004) where it would stick! I haven't tried the windshield yet. It literally would stay in place a few seconds then fall. did anyone else get this? perghaps i installed it wrong. is it just a case of taking the white ring protector off the stick part then putting on a surface? or did i not do something?
I wonder how safe this would be if mounted on dash and you break suddenly.

Try Herbert Richter universal mounts if you're still after an option to use with otterbox case.
I've had mine for several weeks now.
It sticks everywhere.
I use mine with a Otterbox Commuter Case and it fits well.
Vibration is a small issue, though.
the Herbert Richter universal mounts is bulky with the arm, the exo gear mount is good btu if the clamp had a few extras to secure it better it would be 10/10

yes. take the white protector bit off, its that sticky bit that helps it stay stuck to the surface, im surprised the suction bit worked at all with that thing still on lol

The quality feels like it is kinda flimsy, but after using it, it feels tough.. i used to be kinda careful with it but these days i just grab and twist it and it definitely doesn't feel like it's gonna fall apart.
The ball bit that it rotates on did get a bit dirty on mine and it got quite hard to rotate it, but just clean the bit of it you can see (no need to take apart) and then it should be all good again. That's only happened once to me, and i literally just wiped with a dry finger and wiggled it about a bit and its fine again.
I was JUUUUST about to buy one, but because I live in Australia, shipping + handling is $49 alone!
Does anyone recommend any other mounts, without the massive shipping charge?
Apart from ebay cheapies.

I do not mind if you send me cash paypal etc to handle the purchase and shipping for you? If you like i can weigh the actual device (without packaging) which will make it cheaper and price up on royalmail web site air mail signed for etc?
Got one of those
I got the exogear holder about a month ago, and i can recommend it to anyone.
Sticks nice to many surfaces, the phone is not slipping down, can be used with a phone of any size (or a gps device)
The only down side is that you have to use both hands to place your phone into the holder.
so it holds the note fine ?
I don't really post as much on here as i used to when i had my touch pro 2 but i just thought i'd help some people out who where looking for some accessories for their new toys. After paying $500 for this, as i used to upgrade for a hd7, i knew i had to get the best products to make my phone better. And before anybody asks i'm not affiliated in any way with any of the companies whose products i will be discussing.
1. GadgetShieldz Full Body Screen Protector
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-sensation-4g-skins-screen-protectors-covers-cases-shields.html
I have tried random cheap screen protectors, zagg screen protectors and this. The zagg screen protector was too rubbery for me to even swipe my finger across it. I've been using gadgetshieldz on my past 4 htc devices starting with the touch pro and these are by far the best i've used. Not many air bubbles if you apply it correctly and the few that do come up with be gone within a day. And the best part about these screen protectors are that it only cost $6.99 for a full body case.
2. Anker 1900mAh Extended Battery
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220809453541&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I've been using this battery for about a week now. Compared to the oem battery it does have a better battery life. I have not really tried to see how old it lasted but in the settings it said that the last cycle held 11 hours and 40 minutes before it died. I have had it die on me a few times because i don't charge it a lot but that's been intentionally to let it die from reading around about lithium batteries. It also does not get as got as the original oem battery which i like the most. I plan on getting a few more of these next month.

This doesn't even need much explination. Everyone likes to have more memory. I put a 32gb card in my hd7 as i thought i was going to keep it and i knew i needed one for the sensation too. I am one of those people that downloads a lot of apps plus i wanted space for music and videos. The speeds on this card are pretty face. I get an average speed using teracopy of 18 to 20mb/s. That's a lot faster than my class 2 card that came with my hd7.
4. Aluminum Metal Case for HTC Sensation 4G Z710e
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11001246&products_id=33051
I think this company used to be called monaco as they make the same exact cases as monaco did. I bought my first monaco metal case for my tp2 when i found out about it on here and haven't looked back since. I always purchase these metal cases because they protect my phone in case of falls and i can use the phone which it is in the case. It has cut outs for all the ports. I think this is for the sensation unlocked because all the other metal cases i got from them have cut outs for the logos but the phone still fits none the less. What i like the most about this case is with the clip attached i can lay it on it's side and it would be like a kickstand because it can be used in landscape mode when watching a movie. Also you can use the case with the car mount that i will talk about next
5. Car Mount for PDair Aluminum Metal Case
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11001246&products_id=30009
This is a car mount that can be used with the case that i just mentioned previously. So you can attach it without taking the phone out of the case. This works great when using it for navigation. The car mount comes with the windshield cup, the holder that attaches to it and a clip holder for the case. The aluminum case comes with a round clip that screws into the back for the belt holder. This one comes with another clip that has an octagon shape that allows you to place it into the car mount so that it will stay at the angle you place it. I always super glue this clip mount to the case so it does not get unscrewed. I have no reason for the one that comes with the case as this works with the belt holder as well. The car holder cost $12
6. Logitech s120 computer speakers
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220814003710&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I got these for 2 reasons. My main reason was the obvious which was for music purposes. Since i've gotten this phone i've been listening to pandora and i also have a nice amount of music on my phone. The second reason was to use it as a speaker. I've never really had to use it as i'm content, not happy, but content with the volume of the speaker on the sensation although i liked the hd2's speaker better. These speakers have served good my all general purposes. Plus for $12 it'll work nice when listening to music with friends.

I bought these a few months ago when i had my hd2 or hd7, can't remember but anyways i got them to replace my logitech freepulse headphones as the cushioning on them started to come off. I also wanted bluetooth headphones that i could also use as a headset to talk through. These work perfect for both intentions. The music sounds crisp and i have never gotten a complaint when talking to someone with them. I chose these over the s10s because of the reviews between the two. I paid $60 when i got mine but you can get them for $45 now.
8. Motorola T505 Bluetooth Portable In-Car Speakerphone

I have had this for a few years now. I used to have the t305 but i upgraded to this. The sound quality is pretty nice and audible even when your driving with the window down. I like this speaker because it actually annouces the number of the person that is calling you.
If i have time i will take pictures of these items and post them on here. I hope that i helped someone out who is trying to find the perfect accessories.

For me I like #4 and #5, the aluminum cases with belt clip. Looks a bit bulky for my taste but looks different. Kudos for that but I prefer the leather universal case I have and the Mobi red case that fits together nicely. But that car mount is really cool though. Thanks for the alternatives!
Can someone recommend a bike mount compatible note 4, preferably under 20$ ?
I bought this one from Ebay, but the phone fell twice. The mount itself is very sturdy, but phone grip is poor. Fortunately the phone was inside Samsung protective case, so no harm done.
Many bike mounts are not big enough for large phones like note 4, so looking for suggestion if anybody is using a good quality one, which can hold the phone securely even on bumpy roads.
I've been looking for one too, and there are options on Amazon, but I'm considering just fab-ing my own with some metal I've got lying around.

Seidio:

But you'd have to be using one of their case/holster combinations, or get the holster for the caseless Note 4:

and assuming you'd want the phone 'face out' you'd need to check that it can be secured in the holster that way round, as I believe these are designed for 'face in' usage.

Seidio is pure garbage. I had their Convert case w/ belt clip holster and the holster detached from the belt clip at the slightest pressure falling to the ground. Seidio Customer Service stated it was due to the size of the N4, funny I have no such problems w/ my Otterbox Defender. The Convert case itself is pure garbage too, the rubber outercover that goes over the Surface case is designed so poorly designed every time you use the fingerprint scanner it moves off the lip of the phone & the composition of the way too soft rubber is a dirt/lint magnet.
As far as buying anything from Seidio's online store read the thread I started about it. Worst experience I've ever had by far purchasing anything online. I paid for the freight to send back my Convert Add On Kit & Seidio refunded zero so now I have to initiate a chargeback w/ the bank that issued the credit card used to pay for it. And that was after I jumped through all the hoops they require to return something and after they issued an RMA.

Seidio has pure garbage products & the worst imaginable customer treatment and hassle to try to return something.
I used this Arkon Mega Grip in my car for several years/phones (incl. N4) and they make a bike mount for it. I can't vouch for the bike mount but I can say the spring loaded Mega Grip arms do hold the phone securely & I would think the elastic bungee would make certain the phone stays on the mount. It will be cheaper on Amazon.

I use one of these on my motorcycle

I have always used the German made Herbert Richter brand of car holders. They are well made and last forever though I have never used their bike mount
After trying couple of them from from Ebay, I decided to make one of my own using some plastic and parts salvaged from the ebay ones.
It looks a bit ugly but does its job.

Lol. Worlds first ever Bike Phaser! Hope its set to stun!!!
Seriously though that is awesome job dude. I'm thinking of making my own as well because all the other ones just don't look that safe to me for mountain biking.

I didn't see it that way before, but now that you mentioned, it looks a lot something like that.
I feel a lot safer biking with this one. I dropped my phone twice with other commercial mounts.
although they have been sold out for a while, this one from amazon works really well. i've fallen off my road bike 3 times and it held up 100%. the case is easily detachable. and touch screen works well with the clear cover.
the only thing i wish it did, was to have a slot for the light sensor so that i can answer phone calls on speakerphone and not have the screen always go black. besides that, it's great.
I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-Clip-Grip-Handlebar-BlackBerry-Smartphones/dp/B00FA892IS/
Don't ride a very rough route to work but have not had my phone fall out. I also have just a flip case on the phone.
Slip Grip is the best, I have used them since my Droid Incredible days. They are custom molded to each phone and each case available for it. If the case is not listed email them and they will let you know which one has the precise dimensions to fit like a glove.
Slip Grip Galaxy Note 4
Note: I am paranoid and still use a bit of velcro to double secure the phone when mountain biking.
Here is a pic of my setup

I'm still looking for a better option

I use my note with the samsung original protective cover http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Protective-Cover/dp/B00NP3K8Y2 and I'm looking for a better option than the ones I have (see below). The Ibera case seems large enough, but its still sold out and I can´t find in any of the amazon European locations - but it does seem like a very good option.
I have something like this, which works well, but ist as little on the tight side.

and recently bought this, but this case is tighter than the pannier bag, so I'll be selling it

I use the topeak 6" drybag
http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_6in_bk
Fully waterproof, allows use of the screen, power button and home button. Also allows me to keep my phone in the Spigen slim armour case inside the drybag. There are several fixing types available, I've got mine strapped to the stem with the fixing which came with the bag.
Been looking for similar products. Thanks for these product ideas!
