So I'm looking at this bike mount, I know the phone will sit roughly well enough with the dimensions of the S3 being so similar, but my concern is the headphone jack and the camera position.
Does any one have access to a S3 to compare how well the nexus 4 would function in this mount:

Really appreciate the help, thank you
S3 is thinner. That might cause problems with that case closing

I have access to an S3, but not that case. In my experience, the nex 4 will fit in most s3 cases, however the power and volume buttons will not line up properly. The other issue is the headphone jack on the nex 4 is on the bottom, on the GS3, it's on the top. I would not count on that case working how you intend.
The phones dimensions are the same, the USB port lines up, the headphone port is closer to the centre on the s3 so that doesn't match, the camera on the n4 is in the same spot as the S3's flash so that's hopeful.
Just checked in a phone shop.
twinkie, do you have some magical Nexus 4 with the headphone jack on the bottom?
I've just bought the bike mount and will post up a full review when I get my hands on it

I guess I'll have to wait for that, I'm still curious to see how the extended battery is going to look or if they will manage to keep it pretty flush.
I would bet some of the best extended batteries will end up being similar to the HD2 ones, where they have a kick stand built in!
As for case, there are some gels starting to roll out, and what not, but given that the phone is not even a month old, not as much as we would like. Give it a couple months, and most all accessories that are available for the iPhone will be out for this.
Hey guys! Just a heads up on this USB adapter I snagged from USBfever:

IT ALLOWS YOU TO CHARGE VIA USB! It should, of course, be noted that it will probably not charge as fast as it would with the OEM charger or any 2 amp charger. But it does work. It didn't take long to get it (they ship from Hong Kong) and the price is worth it. I have also used it with my Sharper Image portable power pack with success. May have to get myself another one as a backup.
I bought the same one...
Also bought the SD/USB adapter and pickup a original galaxy tab dock for gen 1 model for a fiver down the market,
The dock is a tight fit but I dremeled a slit down the side so it fits much better....
MUST HAVE it too
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
I have one of those too, but is too tight of a fit for me to dare use it. That's not necessarily representative for other units though, as these chinese accessories don't exactly match up from batch to batch
After some more use I've discovered that while it will let me charge via usb it will not actually recognized that it's connected to a computer. But it was still worth not to carry that big block around with me.

I just recently came back to android from a brief stint with a Nokia N9. Brilliant phone design but no support. Anyway, I had purchased a Nokia car dock that was made for the n8 but fit my n9 perfectly. And now that I have a One S I come to find out that it would work well for almost any other phone. No matter the brand. Even my friends iPhone 4 fit in it nicely.
Its a Nokia CR-122. And I got mine from ebay.

The bottom side of the dock is spring loaded so it will fit various different applications. And on top of that it doesn't look like an eyesore that most of these universal docks look.
Can you post some pics of it with your phone in it? Also, does it fit the one s if it has a case on it?

No... It is sitting on the pad. I mounted the pad on a RAM mount diamond plate using 3M double sided adhesive tape. I then used some low compression, rubber weather stripping to form the "U" to cradle the phone. Fits like a glove and works perfect.
Total cost... 3 bucks (I already had the RAM hardware), a trip to Home Depot, and about a half hour of my time.
Looking at the pic, it's hard to tell if the power button is covered or not. If not, it looks good. Just get a nfc tag and setup everything. If it is, wouldn't it be more of a pain to get access for waking the phone up?
Just curious but excellent innovation.

The "U" comes up to just 1/4 inch below the power button, and that same clearance for the volume rocker.
I actually use a Tasker location profile so no nfc tag necessary.
Took it for its first extended test drive yesterday and it works well. Phone is very secure, and easily removed and replaced with one hand.
I finally finished my project and hopefully this thread will stay here for the Nexus 4 mounted in the car on the wireless charger. I used the LG WCP-300 charger.

Why didn't you just buy this instead of going through all that trouble?

The reason is because I don't have anything obstructing my view on my windshield, nor any bulky contraptions. I hate every type of windshield mount or cup holder mount and the fact that the way that I put my orb in there with the wire practically hidden and the phone right in my line of sight as I'm driving questions how you can even ask me that. This is the best setup I've ever seen and of course it takes some work but it's well worth the time.
You wouldn't rather have a set up like this and not have your windshield view obstructed? Plus all of the wires are practically hidden. I have a retractable 3.5 mm audio wire that runs to my aux port in the car since I unfortunately don't have Bluetooth in the 06 civic.
