Brodit S3 Holder - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Hi all,
Just wanted to upgrade that after spending a fair bit on an iPhone 5 brodit holder only to sell the phone for a GS3 and purchasing a GS3 holder (for skins), I really did not want to splash out more £££ for a S4 holder if and when it comes out from Brodit.
So today I tried the GS4 in the holder. Because of the small change in height between the two versions, the S4 fits perfectly in the S3 Brodit holder. I use the holder for skins which has no grip from the sides but instead a charger port at the bottom and a spring loaded clip at the top.
Charges fine so no issues there - also I >think< the ciggy plug is 2a anyway so it charges pretty quickly
Give me a shout if anyone has any questions about it.
Oh the plug is not made to tell the S4 it's in car-mode so all that is manual. I have an NFC tag at the back of the holder that used to switch the S3 into Driving Mode so I can do something similar for the S4 instead of spending money on another holder which would only potentially add the auto-dock functionality.

Hello,
Thank you for you feedback. Can you post pictures of your Brodit holder with the S4 ? Do you have a link for the Brodit holder ?
Thank you.

I was about to post to see if anyone had tried the S4 in various S3 holders. I have a brodit setup in my car now for my old Nexus S and I wanted to upgrade it for the S4. I emailed proclip and they said they are working on the S4, but don't have a release date. If the S3 works, I'll get that now. A bonus is that my wife has an S3 so she can use it too. One issue with the case friendly holder is that it's $110. That's a little steep. I didn't have a case on my Nexus S, so I was able to use the normal holder that does grip on the sides. The S3 and S4 are a little different in this regard, so not sure that the S3 normal holder for $60 would work.
The other (cheaper) option I've been looking at is to get the iBolt xProDock for $40 plus AMPS mounting plate ($7) to connect it to the brodit vehicle adapter. Seems like there would be an extra step involved with attaching the charging cable each time, but you wouldn't have to connect audio by aux/bluetooth like you do with the brodit/proclip holder. It's also $70 cheaper.
Has anyone else tried the S4 in S3 docks meant to be used without cases?

sorry for the delay
So the one I got was part number: 512409 and was purchased from Brodit but of their eBay UK site (I'm in the UK)
It's the one that allows skins though works fine with the s-view case as long as you fold the "lid" back behind the phone. I had the same with the S3 with a similar case. Also has the charger built into this one and charges quickly without any issues.
Here are a couple of pics

Actually looking at this pic, it looks like the screen protector is peeling at the top, it is not and the protector does not even cover that bit. I think it's a bit of fluff in the flap for the case that's been folded back so don't worry :- )

Passive holder is already out, and so I'm guessing active holder can't be that far behind.

Must have only just come out but remember the passive one you linked does not allow skins or any type of case on the phone so if you have one, you would have to remove it to then slide into the holder.
The GS3 one I posted above allows skins - as you can just about see, I have the s-view case on but you can have the clip on cases too

Brodit Passive Car Holder for Desire/Nexus

As there is no bordit car holder for desire available yet, I was wondering if the holder for nexus will fit Desire as they are same size and shape? I am talking about the passive holder, so there is no issue of charging/microUSB position etc.
Anyone has tried this option so far?

I asked the same question, apparently the nexus one will not fit the desire, dsldevelopments.com will soon be stocking the brodit for the desire.
I have ordered the Nexus Brodit mount and it in fact does not fit as the Desire is 0.5mm wider and thicker.
So i have now ordered the Desire one from morpethmobiles.co.uk and should be receiving early next week so will post some pics

Are you sure they have it in stock? I had understood Brodit haven't released it yet.
EDIT: A Google search on the Brodit part number they have used 511126 show it also for the Nexus One, so I don't think this is the new one specially for the Desire. car-mounts.co.uk are doing the same thing, using the same part number for both phones.
I bought the passive holder from Brodit (the one for the Nexus) and it fits perfectly the Desire!
Regards
I am very curious when the active holder will be available for the Desire. It seems like part no. 512116 is used for it, but that is the same as the one for the Nexus One..
Hi,
As per my lengthy post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664197&page=4
I strongly advise against ordering an Active one as suppliers are in fact delivering a Nexus One Active holder, not a true HTC Desire Active holder.
To summarise my other post, the charger part of it will NOT fit the HTC Desire unless you're prepared to modify it.
Guys,
Check out item 512141 on brodits website.
Its coming and I cant wait.
http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=512141
Hopefully they will do the proper install version like the Touch HD had. Curly wire and lighter socket is a mess.. but I like the design of the holder.
I only needed the passive one and I already have the Proclip. Managed to get part 510126 from Mobile Fun. It is the Nexus version and I was a bit worried, as the Desire is slightly wider, if it could scratch the edges of the phone. Needn't have worried. This is the padded version so the phone does not rest on hard plastic. Very happy with it.
Brodit Holder for HTC Desire
I received an email from PDA Hut yesterday saying holder for the HTC Desire have been announced, although they are not due in stock in the UK for 7 - 10 days.
http://www.pdahut.com/store/product.php?productid=22522
My Brodit active holder arrived this morning from morpethmobiles. It is for the nexus one, but my HTC Desire fits really nice in it.
Looks cool in my Citroen C5
Do you think my HTC Desire with gel case will fit in the brodit mount or do the phones fit pretty snug?

They do fit pretty snug, not sure it would fit with a gel case, as my does not have any extra room either side.
Received my padded Nexus One Brodit mount this morning and it does fit well

When you say it's 'passive' does that mean it activates the car kit mode when you mount it?
On the Desire Navigator and Car Dock (is that what it's called) aren't installed although you can push them. I wonder if it would work the same way?

Thanks, is the holder padded at all? I can see the one above has some kind of padding but I am unsure if the desire mounts will come with it, hopefully they do.

Passive means that it does not have a power connector, it just holds the phone.

brodit.se confirms car dock for Vision/G2/Z

The swedish car dock/phone holder maker brodit.se confirmed to me via email earlier today that they are working on a car dock/holder for the Z, but he couldn't say how soon it would hit the market.
I use a brodit.se for my G1, and I love it - so much better (both looking and functionality, i.e. it stays in place, guaranteed) than sunction cup solutions or ventilation clip holders.
̃ Christopher
sounds great! Can you get one and test it for me? =)
brodit.se tend to be pretty quick to make car docks whit chargers for htc phones. I'm guaranteed to procure me one. I'm sitting in the truck throughout the hole work day so I need it
then I have ordered the car dock with charger ..
http://twitpic.com/34p7xl 95,38$ delivery on door.
Got mine today, went for the Active Holder Tilt Swivel With Cig-plug. Early impressions are it's really solid and just what I was looking for, good quality charger with it as well. Would deffo recommend it to anyone who is after a powered car mount for the Z/G2
Got mine from DSL Developments who's service was spot on. Ordered 3PM on Monday, was in my hand Tuesday morning.
Could anybody confirm if it's still possible to put a phone to one of these chargers with any of protective hard or soft cases added? Or it just fit's in "naked"??

I would think you would not be able to get it in there with a case on, it's a pretty tight fit, and non adjustable.
Sorry, but it won't fit if there's any sort of cover attached, there's absolutely no additional room.
I found out that my new Z actually fits in my Brodit passive (no charger) G1/Dream holder, so I won't order a new holder just yet. For some reason they have chosen to not release a passive holder which rotates, which I think sucks - even though you're not supposed to text in traffic, I did sometimes, when stuck in traffic or at red lights, send of quick messages or emails, and it's so much easier IMO to work on the physical qwerty keyboard in landscape than the on-screen portrait keyboard.
The old G1 holder does swivel, but unfortunately the keyboard is not possible to open while the Z is in the holder.
~Christopher
Got my active Brodit holder a few days ago, fits the Desire-Z absolutely perfectly, and their matching car mounting plate is great for my vehicle too. Their stuff may not be cheap, but it's far-and-away the best on the market.
Andre
Do you guys think my DZ will fit in the Brodit active holder when it has a full body protector?
Sorry, no. Brodit mounts fit the phone just as snugly and perfectly as any of the covers do, but because of that they don't give any extra gaps around the phone.
Andre
I have mine for a weeknow. Fits perfectly like every Brodit i had before !!
can the desire z recognize if it is in a car dock when putting it into the active brodit mount?
I want to use tasker to enable gps when the Phone is in the mount.
Don't think so,
You could just say:
If not near home + charging then -> Activate GPS + activate car controls
or something

There's some stuff in the DZ user guide about the phone being able to recognise if it's in a car dock. No idea how it does this though.
I consider getting this: http://www.brodit.com/montering.jsp?anr=512200
I never used their products, so I have a few questions for those of you who already puchased one.
1. Do I need to buy a "Pro-Clip" designed for my car, is it already in the package, included in the price, or maybe I can just mount the holder as it is whithout other clips? It's not so clear to me how to mount it...
2. If I need screws, clips and stuff like that (as I see on the instructions) will I be able to quickly dismount the holder e.g. to use it in another car, without tools?
3. I would prefer the same product, but with a sucction cup for easy mounting on the windshield. Can I find a model like that, or a "Pro-Clip" for windshield mounting etc.?
4. Will I be able to use the audio jack, or is it covered?
5. Finally, can I adjust the holder position a little (upwards, downwards, left, right), or is it fixed? I understand that I can tilt it o have the phone in landscape, but are there other adjustments possible (with or without using screwdrivers or other tools)?
Thanks!
1. You will need a pro-clip for your car. Some online retailers bundle them in, you'll know because they ask you what car you're installing it in before you checkout.
2. You can get a Move Clip which enables you to slide the holder in and out of the pro-clip. For example: http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=213005&sortiment=s800
3. Not that I know of.
4. The audio jack is not covered.
5. You can swivel it, rotate it, slide out the keyboard, everything. You don't need tools to do it.
Thanks for the answer!
So, basically, I install a ProClip designed for my car, then over it I mount the Move Clip, and on the Move Clip I mount the actual phone holder? Just checking to see if I got this right, so I can order those three products...
I don't like it too much mounted over the A/C vents, but the actual phone holder seems to be the best available. If there really is no choice to get a windshield ProClip, I'll go with the this Central Mounting here: http://www.brodit.com/montering.jsp?anr=852285
I'll have to change my car in a few months and I'll get another ProClip then, but still be able to use the holder - that is good.
i ordered the active mount from brodit and for mounting it in my car i got a car mounting kit with the possibility to mount the dock to the wind shield.

Vehicle Dock Mount

HI all,
Just upgraded from a GSIII to GS4. Now I need a better fitting windshield mounting dock. For the GSIII, it was general knowledge that the AT&T Samsung INFUSE 4G dock fit the GSIII and it did for the most part. I really like the slide up into the phone style USB port, so I have no cables to fuss with. I know there's Qi charging but I am not going there just yet..
The S4 barely fits into the INFUSE dock but it takes being very gentle and very slightly bending the dock for the phone to snap in.
I am open to other ideas... suggestions?

I am very happy with my iBolt dock. I purchased mine off eBay and the dash mount disk kept falling off. Oddly the sticky pad stuck to the dash but the disk itself would come off. I called iBold and they shipped me a new one without hesitation.

Looks really nice but 1) as mentioned I'm looking for something with a USB port that slides into place... which is much easier than a cable attachment. 2) I'm more of a portrait kind of layout person.

As for your first request, I agree and wanted the same but could not find one. I have however come to appreciate the design, as that cable is stiff and holds itself in place so it's easy to pop in place, or not if its a short drive. Additionally, I've found the micro usb port on this phone is very tight and I have difficulty getting it to slip into my home dock, it has to line up exact. Lastly, with the aforementioned design of the port, it would impossible to accommodate the plethora of case size variations.
As for portrait view, that is totally doable, it rotates. Anoter neat feature is that the camera is not covered so if you desire, you can snap pics or video of that &%@$ driver in front of you.
No, I don't work for, nor am compensated by iBolt, though I should be. Just a happy customer. :beer:

The Craigsdock dock is the best I've tried. It is slim looking and has built-in charging and you can dock/undock with one hand. And it has a charger, did I mention that? Not one where you have to manually insert the charging cable like the iBolt makes you do. This is more like a very-slim-looking Infuse dock but without the audio and bulk.
You can swap out the existing cable for a USB-audio cable or anything else.
Costs a bit, but it'll last a lifetime and works with all large Samsung phones from S3 to S4 to Note II. So you don't have to upgrade your dock every time you upgrade your phone. And it also works with all the bulky cases too.
I've tried all the docks from Infuse to iBolt to generic and it's the best I've used yet.

It sounds like a ProClip might suit you well. I have been using these holders with various devices for about 10 years. I don't have my GS4 yet, so I can't comment on these ones specifically. However, I can tell you to expect a high-quality product that fits the device perfectly. Check them out:
http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-holders/device/samsung/galaxy-s4.cmsv
This one's doing the trick for me, it's closest to the GS3 iBolt dock.

Hi all,
I've ordered the iBOLT xProDock. I'm sure it is fantastic and will certainly do the job. That said, it is quite expensive. This should hold me over until and if Samsung or anyone else makes a dock similar to the lovely Infuse dock with the "slide into place" USB charger.
This should also come in handy for those many times such as this that I get a new phone and am stuck without a suitable dock.
Another vote for the iBolt. Ordered it for my S3, been used for One +, One and S4. Great little system! And their support is great!
Surfing the Web a couple of days ago I come across this http://www.kickstarter.com/project...ergy-worlds-best-wireless-smartphone-charger

I use one similar to the last one you posted, 10$ from ebay, adjustable in almost every way. Put the mandatory NFC tag on it (also from ebay) to automagically start your car/navigation/whatever app when you dock it.

I second this. It is small and easy to use plus most importantly it sticks to everything without leaving any residue behind. I have a textured dash and this sticks just fine to it. Previously I had a Motorola mount with a smooth disk stuck to my dash so I could use the suction cup mount. What a PITA to remove the adhesive from the dash.

Thanks for you information.
I use a Samsung Infuse car mount, it fits perfectly. I originally bought it for my Galaxy S3 4G but after I gave that to the wife I tried my N4 in it and it was a perfect fit, better than the S3 fitted in there.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
I use low profile dual lock, its like Velcro but stronger and more durable, I have one piece stuck on the tpu case my phone lives in and the other on my Brodit proclip. A roll of dual lock costs about £5.
It is less obvious that it's a phone mount, as it leaves no suction marks on the screen etc.
I got this one
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083304&p_id=10257&seq=1&format=2
used sugru to mount it closer to me (I drive a truck and can't reach the windshield easily).
more expensive than most of the ones suggested, but this seems useful, since its magnetic...easy to attach/detach. the mount itself goes in the cd slot, so it's not in the way.

Not really a mount, but i hardwired a wireless charger integrated into the lid of the ashtray. sorry for the poor quality video. not sure why it's flipped lid works just like stock!

I use this Mountek bracket that inserts into the cd slot. Doesn't block view of windshield and is easily transportable to other cars.

[Q] Note 4 Car Mount

Hi Everyone,
For this Black Friday - Cyber Monday I am looking for a car mount for My Note 4. I have a Spigen slim armor on and my phone width is about 3.5 inches. Way to big for my old iottie. what do you guys use?
Right now I am looking at the Kenu airframe+ but I think the price is ridiculous.
Thank you

anyone use this and does it work?
I don't think hanging a heavy Note 4 off of your AC vent is a very good idea.

What do you think of this?
What do you use?
Do NOT hang your Note 4 off your AC vent !! I broke part of my AC vent that way.
Buy the choetech t510 Qi wireless car charger from amazon. It fits all oversize cases+Note 4. Then use outdoor scotch permanent mounting tape and stick it to a flat area of your dashboard vertically. you get that from home depot or equivalent. its a grey tape with red peel off dual sided stickers.
Works perfectly.
I've been using the universal car dock from Samsung and it has been working great. I used a 50% off code and got it for 25 bucks so not bad.
Don't agree with you

I've been using Airframe Kenu Plus (search on google)
I've used it with my g2 and now with my note 4, and it's working great.
Due to the size of the Note 4, I would say a car mount would be difficult to use; the weight might break the vent; magnetic qi mounts-- how much support will the magnets offer? And for the regular suction mounts, I'm not sure how much weight they can take. I've been using a techmatte progrip car mount, and it worked very well for my iphone 5s when I had that, but now that i've switched to android (note 4), the phone doesnt even fit in the mount. I doubt the suction would be strong enough to support it anyway.
I use this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00408B7ZU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
with this http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Holder...&qid=1417724512&sr=8-1&keywords=iottie+note+4
Working pretty good so far.
I am using the Spigen Neo Hybrid Series Case. http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-C...178&sr=1-13&keywords=spigen+slim+armor+note+4

Best carmount i found by accident while shopping at my local electronics store was called Magic Mount, it has several different ways of mounting your phone. but its all by Magnets, 100% safe. They provide you with several options of a magnetic mount i chose the surface mount, and a very thin metal plate that can be applied by adhesive on to the phone or case. 2 metal plates were provided to me with the service, one for a phone and one for a tablet or which ever device i choose. ill tell you this thing can hold really well. its great because I would always put my phone on my seat or cup holder, but what if they are both taken up by someone or my cups, then back in the pocket it goes where i can't change my music. id highly recommended this to anyone. its fast, easy, and no stupid bulky cradles.

Being that the bracket mounts to your dash with a 3M adhesive pad my question is what does the dash look like after removal?
No need to mess around http://www.rammount.com done!
