nuvi 200 clip works great with skyrocket - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I have discovered the best car mount for my skyrocket ... a Garmin nuvi 200 series mount works awesome. I have the SGP Neo Hybrid case on my phone and it just snaps right in to the mount.... it doesn't move or slide around no matter if I have the phone vertical or horizontal.

Interesting. Got any pics?

I'm in middle of vacation right now..I'll get some pics up when I get back. Loving it so far.... I can even video my driving ... navigation is great ... see who's call while wearing a Bluetooth headset.

Just tried it. It works well.

Has anyone tried this with a seidio active case on the phone?

Any chance to get pictures of it in the cradle?

Hi, I looked - there are so many cradles for the nuvi 200 out there
Can you link something so we know the one you confirm is working ?
Thanks

I've been using this set up for quite a while. It's perfect with the TPU case. It snaps and very steady. I use it with Garmin friction mount that I bought from Amazon for $13. Pretty cool set up I may add.

For the mount:
http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Fricti...HFOS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1338393180&sr=8-5
You can get the bracket from ebay for $2. Search for Nuvi 250 bracket.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cradle-Hold...ltDomain_2&hash=item336f638da7#ht_2808wt_1185

I have that same mount and yes it's the right size for the Skyrocket with a TPU case. I don't use it only because I can't get the angle right in my car with the suction mount I have. I ended up buying a RAM mount.

buying one of these, hopefully its a 100% perfect match to the original ones...

Here's a pic..

good fit with pop case
This is very snug with a pop case - love it.

Has anyone tried it with a seidio surface case? I think it should be about the same thickness as the TPU or Pop case but I'd like to make sure.
**EDIT**
Just to let people know, this works great with the Seidio Surface case.

So my case arrived today!!! I gotta say this is a nice case. S\"Surface" is a good name because it really does not add any bulk to the phone. I am amazed at how slim the case feels on this phone. I ordered the belt holster with it and I've had holsters in the past and really did not use them because they always felt big and bulky. Not the case with the Seidio Surface Combo.

Infuse case with built-in kickstand

Has anyone seen or found a case for the Samsung Infuse that has a kick-stand in it?
This would allow you to place the phone on a table and not have to lean it against things to watch movies or whatever.
Thanks
I've seen them on e-bay.
Cranky...
there does not appear to be anyone currently offering them ...I too have seen them..but can not seem to find one now
Yeah the only ones I found with anything resembling a kick stand was the one or two that had that plunger looking thing you attach. Thanks

Found this, not really a case with kickstand, looks like you set your phone in it and use it like that. Battery charger, with kickstand made for Infuse. Sorry, I'm new to this Xda, so they wont let me post a link. Go to CellularAccessory.com and search Samsung Infuse Kickstand.

Sprint has a very nice carbon fiber case with a built in kick stand for their sgs2. I know the screen size is the same as the infuse but I believe its thinner and the form factor is more curved, not sure if it will fit.

i have the exact same thing at home for my nightstand!
While it is not a case I found something that works well for me. I use 2 binder clips as it makes a great stand for me and I can keep it in my pocket for when I need it.
Take a Large Clip and 1 Medium binder clip.
The large one keep like normal while the medium one you turn both of the silver rings to one side so you have a backwards L with the back part sticking straight up.
Then take the large clips and clip it on the silver rings as clost to the black as you can.
This holds the phone very very well and I am able to watch movies during my lunch with a normal head set pluged into it. So this does mean my head truns some but not to much and it does not move at all. This works with or without the silicon ruber thing around the phone. With out the rubber you can also do it with the small and medium binders to make it even smaller. I think lifehacker has pic on doing this.
I hope this will help someone.
i keep this in my wallet..

Atrix 2 Otterbox case and car mount!

Ok i love Otterbox cases. I have used them with all of my phones for years. What i don't like is the fact that they don't have a car dock for use with the case...........So i made one.
I had to contact Otterbox when i broke the clip on my holster. They sent me 2 for free! My wheels got to turning and i had an old windshield mount for a TomTom gps.
I mounted the old holster to the old gps mount. I drilled holes in the holster so that the camera will work while in the mount and so it can be charged. Not the prettiest mount but it works well!

Nice. I'm going to be doing something similar, shortly, with an Atrix 2 Defender holster.
I picked up one of these to use as the base, though...
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Fit-International-NS-56-08-G3-Specific-2008-2010/dp/B002OHD8NI
Couple that with an aftermarket Bluetooth module that I'm going to install, and a dash-mounted USB port for charging, and I should be able to keep the wires to a minimum.
Any advice on cutting the holster? I've got an old Dremel that I intend to use, and my plan is to cut away the middle section of the holster's bottom, so I have easier access to my microUSB port.
Regards,
Corporate Dog
cool
But the defender case is too bulky to fit in the "phone" pocket of my many cargo pants/jeans/shorts.
So I just use this with my Otterbox Commuter Case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8ST18/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
It works quite well. It's been mounted to the windshield of my truck for 2 weeks now, and is still gripping strong. I think it'd work w/ just about any smart phone. I'm thinking of getting 1 for my wifes car, for when I'm driving. They're not expensive.

Won't fit. I have Defenders for both the original and the Atrix 2 and even checked. Atrix 2 has a larger screen size and therefore needs a bigger case than those custom designed for the original.

ANY case will make make it hard to mount. the there is NO tolerance for any type of case. If you have a case you may want to look at the universal one that clamp the sides.
This dock works fine with the Trident Kraken on my phone. The Kraken and the Otterbox Defender are probably the two thickest cases on the market so if you want one which works with any case get it:

with this mount, you cant fit a case on it. If you take a look with the phone installed there is no way a case can fit in it. You may have a slightly different model of it
The lower arms are adjustable. This allows them to extend far enough for the lip to sit in front of the phone with the Kraken case on it. The top arm has plenty of length to clamp the phone in the Kraken case.
I've been driving with the phone in it's Kraken case secured in this window mount for the past week. I realize it's more expensive than the $8.00 mount on ebay but I think if you can afford this phone and need a windshield mount you can probably spend a few extra $$ for a better mount.
i took a video on my way into work this morning on a really crappy road. and my suspension is set Medium.

your mount is adjustable. the one that i posted is not. just depends on each persons need. Not sure if yours does but this one has a cutout for flash and camera if you want to take a video while drive. A important feature for me.

Nexus 6P Vehicle Mount thread (car holder, not universal))

I'm looking for a vehicle mount for my 6P but can only find the universal type right now.
If anyone else is in the market for a non universal for one please post your findings here!
I always use a Dashmount bracket specific to the vehicle and a Brodit active cradle specific to the handset. Usually takes Brodit a little while after a new phone has been released to make a new cradle.
Yeah, I'm looking for one as well. The previous universal one I had is too small for the 6P. It will just precisely fit for my Xperia Z.

Already know it fits because I put the verus case in it, fits perfectly. Automatic too, you push your phone in and the arms snap shut. Push the two toggles and the phone comes off.
Don't know anything about them, but I saw a bunch of SlipGrip mounts when I was looking around on eBay:

Thanks! You're correct. My friend cut the ball off and drilled a hole through. Fits great!
Ram mounts came out recently with a modified version, similar to what we did but it also comes with a screw /nut set.
