I just received a GPS mount from monoprice.com and it works great for the GX2, It even holds it with my TPU case still on it. It has a lot of different mounting options and angles, very secure, and the best part it cost less than 4 dollars. I wasn't expecting much for 4 dollars but had good luck with other Monoprice products so I gave it a shot, and couldn't be happier.
I can't post links yet, but you can search monoprice.com for product id 5272 to find it.
I can put some pictures up later if anyone is interested.
I might get one let me know how it holds up with time.

No experience with that mount, but some research to share:
That Kensington you listed opens to 2.75" max, which is right at the width of the Otterbox case. The height is listed at 4.1", so the Fascinate should stick off the top a little. IMO, that is a plus if it means the camera can still see out. I'm looking for one to dual-purpose to film video as I drive. My main concern with this one would be how stable it is, since the flexible adjustment will hurt that.
Most universals just don't seem to open wide enough. Another wide jaw option are these:
http://www.arkon.com/Smartphone_Holder.php. But I don't think the camera will be able to see over the high back.
Based on dimensions, I think the clip that came with the Garmin Nuvi 200 series might work. If it does, this opens up a ton of options. Anybody have a Garmin Nuvi 200 Series?
Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and ordered the one I mentioned. I'll post and let you know how it works after I get it

Well, I've been using this car adapter for a few days now. It seems to work pretty decent. I've only used the vent mount. It doesn't cover up the camera or buttons so that's cool. I just wish the samsung car charger was a bit longer. I may try and stretch it out to give me more reach.

You still liking the case?
I think I'm gonna get one, mainly for use with Torque (I love this app!). I like the Instant MPG gauge to help me squeeze the most out of my 5.4L F-150..

I have the Arkon and the camera is not exposed.
I have the Garmin Nuvi 200 but I don't have a case on my phone so can't say for sure if it would work. It looks like it might be a smidgen too big (the clip).
How is the vent mount working out for you? Possible to post a pick of it mounted?
It works fine, it's never fallen. Keeps the phone secure and is very accessible. I'll try to get a pic of my phone mounted in it. My point and shoot died, so i only have my gf's phone which prob. won't be the best pic, but we'll see..
When I had my iPhone 4, I had the Otter commuter case. I tried several mounts before I found this one. Very Sturdy! The one you bought, I already tried it.... complete crap I am sorry......
GPS Mounts, seem to be more thicker and better made... per say
Give this one a whirl:

I just got the Kensington in the mail. I haven't driven around yet, but the quality seems very good. I'll find out how good it really works today on the way to work.
Anyone found one that fits with a case still on the phone? People at VZW told me the one they sell wouldnt , but they were wrong about my droid x dock .... so i thought i would ask here . Thanks .
No actually docks, but if want to go with a mount and a cord:
If you are willing to go with univeral clamp arms, any mount that includes Arkon SM040-2 will work. Just google that part number and hit shopping.
If your holding out for something not so bulky, the bracket for a Garmin Nuvi 200 series may work with some cases, but may require some modifications. Look for part number BKT200, which adopts most Garmin mounts to the Nuvi 200. This bracket is $2.39 shipped on ebay if you want to test with your case. Please report back on how it fits.
Ill give the Garmin mount a shot and report back. Too cheap not to at least try. Thanks.

I really hope I'm wrong, but I think the phone is going to be to skinny to work with the garmin mount... I'll be happy if it works though, that will look much better than the universal I ordered

Shopping for my brother for Christmas, and since I steered him into an Infuse a while back, I thought maybe a nice windshield mount would be a good gift in an appropriate price range, that he might actually use.
I gave him my old Siedio Surface case and holster, and he uses them all the time. So, I want to get him something that will fit over that. A lot of the online reviews I've seen for the mounts on ebay and Amazon say they don't fit larger phones (let alone with a hardshell case on them), so I thought I'd ask if any of you have had any luck with anything available out there?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts, ideas, questions, comments, etc!
Check out best buy mate there are ones where you can adjust the size of the car mount. You can try out the Universal ones, if it doesnt work out I would say just return to best buy. You do have one near you? Or maybe futureshop?

I've purchased all the Best Buy car mounts, and every single one of them is garbage. Crappy plastic, ****ty ratcheting systems, and completely unreliable mounts.

That's exactly the kind of product I was looking for, and I am finding many of the components available at lower prices on Amazon.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!
If you order it take a few photos for us!
Office max sell one that adjust to any device. With or with out a case. I Used with my ipod, BB and my infuse dont matter if you are using a Ballistic case or a Outer Box.

I have three... and they work beautifully.
I bought a Scosche IPHW9 mount just a few weeks ago at an Fry's Electronics in California. It was an open package item that I got for $15, great deal. The suction mount works great. It "hugs" your phone to hold it. and trust me, your phone will not budge. And can hold devices up to 4 inches wide, (and it looks like) and 2 inches deep. Comes with windshield mount and a vent mount.
I do say it jiggles a lot when you drive, so inputting while you're driving can be troublesome. But you get what you pay for and it works more than great for driving directions. I give it 3.5-4 Stars.
I use an otterbox defender case. Found a mount at best buy thats all black comes with the window suction neck and holds this phone with a huge case.

i got my window mount for my infuse from ebay and it holds the phone in both the incipio off grid and the ballistic case from AT&T. most window mounts will work and mine is really good quality. the ratchet system can be flaky at times but i have had plenty of window mounts and that is a common thing that you run into. hope this helps.
i use this one, i have had it thru 3 phones it rocks

you get a separate mount and then a phone clip
They are extremely hard to find. You will just have to get a universal mount like I had to

It looks like the one I have. It worked great. I always thought the touch pad was too slippery. The case made me more comfortable handling it. I no longer worried about it slipping out of my hands. The only down side is that it was too thick to charge on the touchstone.
I just got the HP case. They are only $4.99 with free shipping for Hp and it works with my touchstone. I bought 2. check out this link they have a lot of things on sell. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676227

Why do you even reply? I was curious about what this community has to say. Keep your negative remarks to yourself, this is what ruins our community.

Yikes, a bit of a strong reprimand for someone just pointing out a good source of comments on the case. However, I have one, and use it when I take the pad outside. It does have difficulty with touchstone, though I have made it work with careful positioning.

These are those low-quality generic cases from china. You can't see it but, the dye rubs off and stains your device. The TP is black so most don't notice but if you get a different color or use it on say, an iPad, you will get a nice surprise. Also, it doesn't fit the TP snugly - the thing moves around in there a bit. My advice get the official case on Ebay or something better. It's priced at $4 for a reason.
They are super generic, but they are of good quality for the price. I'm using one on my TP right now. It's very decent, but I am a bit of a case junkie and have 4 different cases at the moment. That said, I'd recommend it.
Further, I've had no issues with it not being color fast, and the fit is perfect...but that's just my experience. I also bought mine from ebay, not that it makes much difference, I'm sure...
I've been looking for a flip case that I can use to replace my wallet. I've found a few leather ones I like but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I was wanting a leather one till I came across this one and it looks really nice and looks like it will protect it good to. So last night I went onto amazon there r no user reviews out for it yet so was wondering if anyone has it or if anyone can recommend one for me. Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks in advance

Which one?
Tech 21 makes an amazing wallet case but I don't think it can hold many cards, it's worth looking at though
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Never been a fan of these types of cases. If you lose your phone or it gets lifted, there goes your ID plus any debit/credit cards you have on you, along with what I presume would be your primary method of cancelling said cards. If you're looking to pare down, just get a slim wallet like something from Flipside and get a minimalist case.
Sorry....it's the uag folio case..
