Looking For a Car Mount?

I bought this car mount for the original SGSII and, after trading in, was pleasantly surprised to find out that it works with the Skyrocket as well.
Check it out here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320764561950?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Note that while it does provide charging for the phone, it does not support audio out through the USB port.
Since I use Bluetooth for audio, this is not a problem for me and as such I am very happy with it so far.
My only issue with it is that it can be a little difficult to remove the phone from it due to the snug fit of the USB connector.
The reason I originally bought this over the dedicated Samsung mount is that I did not want to be stuck with a mount that wouldn't work with a phone having a case installed on it...this one does.
Also, as I stated earlier, it works with more than just one phone model...a definite plus!
In fact, this would probably work with any phone having its USB port on the bottom center, as long as the orientation of the port matches.

Infuse Samsung OEM mount works also. It's a tiny bit loose, but this is actually good because it was too tight (IMO) with the Infuse.
And it's $20 shipped.

That's a good option as long as you're not using a case on your phone.

I should have read your post closer. I didn't notice you mentioned you can use a case with that dock. Good stuff.
I just checked youtube but couldn't find anything on it. If you have spare time, could you take a vid of how you put the phone in the dock and connect it?

This one works well.

Those look like great options but my goal was to have something that would provide power to the device (for a cleaner look without disconnected cables dangling) as well be able to accommodate a case if I choose to use one. The one I reference in the OP does exactly that.

If/When I get a SEIDIO (AKA Best Buy Platinum case) .... I'm thinking about one of these vehicle docks - SlipGrip CarMounts. I like the theory behind this one because you can leave the case ON.
I had an OEM Samsung car dock for my Captivate and it was great. Nice and snug, rock solid mount, no wiggle, etc etc... But - you had to take any case off to put the phone in it.

A Proclip USA SkyRocket holder is in the make. It almost worked in the Infuse and Galaxy II holders (T-Mobile/Sprint). The have to make some adjustments to have it custom for the SkyRocket.
Email Proclip to get yourself added to the list. They will email you when they have them. But they have many holders to make, just be patience. The will come through.

While those look like a good product, I have three vehicles that I drive on a semi-regular basis. I just cant justify having to purchase a mount for each vehicle instead of having a windshield mount that can go from car to car.

Ya I'd been lookin at the Proclip for a while now but the price always held me back... $30 for the mount and another $35-40 for the holder... That's a lot of money for just a car mount... That SlipGrip company has the entire car mount for just $30 and it will let me use the Seidio case I wanna get... Thanks for the link Ginther! Now just gotta wait for Seidio to make the case in white and for Slipgrip to make the holder for the skyrocket...lol

SlipGrip will make a holder for ANY phone adjusted for ANY size in one day if you send the case into them to fit it.

Looks like SlipGrip knows a future market when they see it. Under Samsung devices it says Skyrocket mounts coming soon. Cool!

Best Car Phone Holder?

What kind of car dock/phone holders are everyone using for the Epic? naturally, I want one that will leave the aux and charger port open. What are you using? Thoughts?

Amazon is your friend just like google but there is a few of them out there is one generic meant for the Epic 4G but its ****ty plastic but reviews have aid what to do to make it better one guy has actually done it for some people.

I purchased a bracketron that connects to the ac vent. I first I never liked the idea. But traveling with GPS and other things running it would get hot with a high amp charger. Being on the vent certainly solved that problem and charged a lot quicker since it wasn't so hot.

I realize that Google and Amazon exist. I was looking for recommendations from other Epic owners on here.

I recommend the stock mount for the Epic 4G. It does get hot sometimes, but it has an 2.5mm socket for audio that you can run into the aux input on your car stereo and it activates car mode. I've had it for 18+ months now and haven't had any trouble with it and would be upset if it broke.
I can't remember where I got it (not Samsung), but it's probably not too hard to find.

Interesting concept. Does it move much?

No surprisingly little. I changed it a little so it squeezes the phone instead of sitting in the holder and I used small vacuum hose to protect the spots that touch the phone. Works well.

Its all on how you make it. There is no play in mine at all. I made mine so you have to slip it up under the top arms, and then rest the it on the bottom arms. then the reverse to get it out... Its very secure and never had to worry about it falling. I drive in Cleveland, so thats saying something.
. I took a fine file and filed and sharp edges made by the pliers. Then after a couple of coats with spray paint, its like I bought it from somewhere. I use no buffers and have marks on my case from my holder.
I've made a few (about 10 or so for a different phones) the key is just to take your time and make every bend as perfect as you can.

I might have to look into this. I have been slightly concerned about the fact mine is in a small case. I'm afraid the official one won't fit too well. I also wasn't actually impressed by the automatic car mode.
XxLostSoulxX, the Arkon ones look pretty nifty. Which one did you get? They have so many!

I have the stock mount for the Epic and love it. It does get kind of hot at times. Especially when sitting in the direct sun light but it's a perfect and snug fit:

I can't remember how much I paid for it, but I searched around and got it for pretty cheap.

I bought a universal vent mount at TJ Maxx for 8 bucks. Works great and the best part is it can rotate to either portrait or landscape.

Xperia Z Car Mount

How do you mount Xperia Z in your car? POST. Did anyone use the same as this car mount?
Where did you get it, and also give some comment on it.
Any post will be appreciated.

I use the mounts from proclipusa.com. Not sure if it's US only or if they have international ones, but they make mounts specifically for every car model with multiple locations to mount it such as off to the side of your cup holder or on the dashboard.
They aren't cheap mounts that you put on your windshield or stick it in one of your vent. These are rather pricey, the mount for your car is like $40 and the phone specific holder is also around $40. They have universal ones that can be adjusted and what not.

I'm using a different kind of universal car mount, but the idea is the same. Something you have to keep in mind, with sidegrips like that, they will probably be pressing your volume buttons all the time. Mine has some padding on the sidegrips, so it's not so bad, but those look like it could be a problem.

I've got a nice little setup going.
First I bought this: http://www.mobilefun.com/39176-roadcharge-micro-usb-car-holder-and-charger.htm
Then I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-sony-Xperia-Z-L36h-2800mAh-External-Battery-Charger-Backup-power-Case-Cover-/181161699056?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2a2e1426f0
I plug the RoadCharge into my car outlet and the Powerbank into the RoadCharge and I'm all set.
No messy micro usb cables or glue needed, I can easily slide my Z in and out, it's just a perfect car dock.
I'll post pics later if anyone's interested.

I bought a spare charging dock which has the port on the side which is useful. Then but a non slip mat, and now it looks like I have a gps in my car

Hi, unfortunately I've already sold my Z and moved on to the Z1 so I can't provide you pictures.
However I can definitely guarantee that the 2 items I linked to above worked as a great car dock. You just put your Z into the battery case and then plug your battery case into the Micro USB slot of the road charge. Subsequently you can just keep the battery case permanently plugged in your car and easily mount and unmount your phone.
Hope that helps!

just picked up my Z the other day and for the time being, I just stand my phone in my change drawer while driving and the square shape seems to hold it in place pretty nice.

I use this:

The fit is a little tight but I just filed down the edges and it works great.
Edit:
They also have a suction-cup windshield mount if that's what you prefer:

Car Mount recommendations please

I'm looking for a couple of mounts I can use in our cars. I would like universal ones that both me and my wife can use (she's just inherited my G3).
I like the idea of the magnet ones like this Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291750206879 but I don't know how good they are.

i wouldnt rely that much on magnet ones. Unless you have a very thin cover (which i also dont recommend). If you have to break all of the sudden it falls. I personally use this type of Universal mounts:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Liger-Unive...134995?hash=item3f64350153:g:6dUAAOSw1DtXJAlt
But mine is black completely.
It allows you to charge the device at without compromising position, it also allows you to rotate it 360 and more than just rotate it you can actually move it like the mirrors of your car. It has some protections to protect your car, your phone, and to prevent the phone from falling. And it can hold up to a 7" width phone. I think that even i bit more than 7 inch. I dont know if the one i sent in the link is the exact same one im using however it looks exactly the same. the hard sponge in each side allows you to implement pressure on the sides that will prevent the phone from falling. You can pretty much adjust everything to your liking with this mount. I dont know about others similars to this one but this one has been for me the best out of all i have tried.
It also should work on any vents of any car. The reason i dont like the magnet ones is because it usually requires for you to paste a sticker and it limits yourself to only the devices who have the sticker. However, what happens when your phone is dead and for example your friend has his phone and he/she lend it to you to put the gps or put music?
Of course, try to find one that is closer to your location if you want to pay less, or from Asia.

I'm using a generic 'air vent' style magnetic mount, with the metal plate gaffer taped (duct tape in US?) inside a 'Spigen Rugged Armor' case and it sticks/works fine. Done several long journeys over 'normal' european journeys (i.e. roads with no offroading).
Will be dependant on model, common sense and not driving like a ****, obviously...

yeah but since we dont know how anyone drives until we see it, i cant say how he drives. Also, the cover you are talking about is slim in comparison to what im talking about. Of course, he is on his liberty to buy the magnetic one. Everyone has different experiences with different mounts. LOL. I personally have tried 4 and none of them worked as good as the one i bought last. Also, in many occasions im driving with people that lend me their phones for multiple reasons. (that is my case only). And my saying is better to be prepared than sorry for every single thing.

Agreed - this is very much a case of suck it and see. Just saying that this particular generic version works fine in normal driving conditions with a entry branded 'rugged' thickness case, rather than a thin one. If you are likely to mount curves or drive on particularly bumpy tracks experiences may differ.

Thanks for the input guys.
Currently I'm using a Poetic Atmosphere case. So I'm assuming it's pretty thin. I might give the magnet option a try.

For me, it is almost always Brodit, have a look at these. I have a Brodit ProClip installed in my car, and instead of Brodit device specific holder, I have installed Herbert Richter adjustable holder set up onto Brodit ProClip as I have more than one device.

I'll let you know how it goes.

I've always disliked having things in the way of my view, I had a hard time finding a mount I liked and the wouldn't be too distracting while driving. I ended up getting a Cellet cup holder mount and I love it. Definitely keep it in mind if you're still looking around.

Hi all.
I too am after a good car mount. I have just come from the G3, and used a Kidigi "clamp" style car mount. Specifically fitted for the G3. Even if you had a case on your phone, you could remove a part of the product and it would fit snug as a bug inside whatever that saying is... Sadly they do not make any for the G5. Here's the G3 one if interested to see:
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/kidigi-car-mount-charging-cradle-for-lg-g3
As you can see, it has the clamp on one side only. A much better design this way I think.
Anyways, the closest they have is this universal one (with a USB Type C charger): http://www.kidigi.com/index.php?route=product/product&productlist_id=7&product_id=120#.V81GIPl9670
I'm really bummed there's no car mount specifically for the G5 out there. If anyone finds one, please post it!
I think I'm going to end up going for a universal clamp style for the windscreen / windshield. I don't like the magnet kind, nor the ones that sit on the car vents.

I have the Spigen case with the HR mount and it works great. Downside is the USB needs plugged in every time vs my Brodit active charger for M8. Saying that the flexibility of the HR outweighs the hassle of plugging in the USB cable. The HR mount is an universal which is spring loaded to grip multiple phone shapes and sizes. Seems very solid after a couple of weeks use, hopefully it'll last, no reason for concern atm.

If you have a CD slot in your car that you don't use... I would recommend this mount: https://goo.gl/vF8ZUh
I've been using it for the last two years, and I love it.

Hey all. So is Brodit the only manufacturer making specifically LG G5 car mounts? I'm searching high and low and all others I find in my searches are technically "universal" car mounts. Boo! I may have to go without a case for my G5 and get a Brodit mount. Not sure how I feel about this!

There's a magnetic model from Anker. Has anyone tried?

Best car mount for Note 9

MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Per the forum rules, posing affiliate links is not allowed on XDA.

The best in my opinion is the Schosche Magnetic Mount (the small sticky version). It really sticks, and is convenient. But on the down side, you can't use the wireless charging with it.
here's a link:

I planned on using the cd mount that I had with the note 8 on the 9 but after it popped free 3 times in a row driving down the road I just ordered a mount from proclipusa.com. That worked out so well I ordered another for my other vehicle. No point in taking any chances with this phone.

These guys have a couple of different options but for me this is the best one for any phone.

You can stick this thing on practically any surface.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to decide which car mount would be the best for this device.
What car mount do you use? would you recommend it?

Depending on where you put your metal at you can still use wireless charging. I have a magnetic mount on my car and two pieces of metal slapped on the bottom of the case. Holds both upright and sideways just fine. Wireless charges as well.

would you mind showing us how you placed it and what kind of metal plate you have? cause mine is a bit too wide so it covers mostly the entire back of the device so wireless charging wont work.

I've got the iottie one touch 3. Holds the phone firmly and it's easy to put in and take out as well.

You can't get better than Brodit. I think they're sending me one to review, so I'll post a video once I've done it. For now, here's one for another phone.

Brodit is Proclips on this side of the pond. I agree it is one of the best I have ever used. I do wish the note 9 holder came with the clip for the charging cable like the one in your video.

I'm using a Proclip mount with an iOttie easy one touch 4 head and it works fantastic.

I need to move it down, and use 2 of the smaller one. Since I wanted it to also hang sideways I used two plates to have more force to hold the phone in place. I looked at the video of where the wireless charging pad is on the phone so there is some wiggle room.

thanks, i actually found this https://bit.ly/2CZ4xiZ i can see that the metal plates are quite thin and can be put on the closer to the side of the case. so hopefully this would work.
My only problem with this is it's not fast wireless charging.

I can't see it page is stuck on shipping
Keep in mind (main reason why I didn't look at wireless charging for the car) if you have android auto and other things running the wireless charging couldn't keep up on the charging. That is why I just plug in if I am going on a longer trip and short trips just quickly mount it. This phone has done amazing on battery life.

Interesting.. can you send a photo please?

get the iottie wireless fast charger car mount.

I've had this mount for a few years now, even bought a new one when I bought a new car. Simple, easy to use, it works well, and it's only $9.

This is a good one; It's almost identical to the Schosche, but it's cheaper and comes via Amazon. The one I use is just the one that comes from Walmart. But yeah, I've ordered one of these also.

For those with the magnetic car mount. Does the magnet not effect the s pen anymore? I remember seeing the old notes loose sensitivity or touch with the s pen when a magnetic case or mount.

Not that I've noticed, I do notice my screen comes on for an off screen note sometimes when I put my phone on the magnet a little to the left.
