I bought Haicom passive holder
Here are some real life photos:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937681

Haicom case looks nice but no use to people like me that have a case on the phone..
I've got an Otterbox on mine so at the mo its just getting wedged between the dash board and screen which works fine until you have to put your foot down, boost+wedged phone=phone disapears...

I ended up getting a cheap generic one from the local Tesco for £3.50, winner.

PREMIUM VENT CAR HOLDER & CAR CHARGER FOR HTC DESIRE HD from ebay (sorry the forum won't let me post links)
very impressed, It holds the phone very well, I was that impressed I brought another for use in the van.

[Q] Carmount with skin on?

Has anyone had any luck finding a car mount that will work with a skin installed?

I have a Griffin Windowseat Aux mount that works but is a tight fit with a skin fitted.
I have just had to have it replaced after about 5 months use as the original one broke but I am not sure if it is a one off or it was caused by being too tight fit?
If you are in the UK then Halfords have them reduced at £15 currently from £20.
Hope this helps.

Forget my previous comments. My replacement mount has just broken in the same place so let's just say it doesn't work with a DHD in a skin.
Looks like I am looking for a different mount myself ! Lol

Hi, i got a car mount from Amazon.de and my DHD in a case mate. It's perfect and stable. It called HR car mount and cost about 15 EUR.

I got an uber cheap £3.50 universal one from Tesco and its been fine with my DHD/Otterbox..

I use a Clingo car mount. It works for any handset whether in a case or not. They are pretty good, I've had it for around 6 months now.

S4 charging dock that can be used with Spigen Neo Hybrid

Hi all,
Anyone know of a charging dock for the S4 that can be used whilst the phone is inside a Spigen Neo Hybrid case??
Thought I'd ask as a lot of people here have the case so there's a high chance of someone using it with a dock too

I ordered the one off Samsung website for half off. Also have th neo hybrid will let you know how it works out when I get the dock

Hi mate, I am using Neo Hybrid Casing with my S4 and has a Samsung EDD-D200WE dock, it doesn't charge. The usb connector is too short to reach the phone.

I also ordered this as I note the Neo Hybrid case refuses to work with many micro usb cables. (Works with nexus 4 stock cable, nexus 7 stock cable, samsung cable obviously). Did not work on my portable charger (anker slim2).
I'm hoping it works through the wireless charger which I'm sure it will since my Nexus 4 works fine through a tpu and pc case

These wireless ones are nice and they look good too lol... If there is no sensibly priced dock then I might wait and get the charging pad when the price comes down a bit

I have that same dock . Any luck finding a case that works?

Well. I think I could have made it work BUT the piece that usb connector is in isnt very strong. I went to put the phone in it and it broke and fell into the housing.
Knowing this now, If the front lip of 5he charger was removed it would fit.
Like I said tho, the flip up usb connector isnt strong at all. Its not like I forced it in.
Needless to say, its being sent out today.

Sorry to bring this off topic but my question is regarding the S4 with the AnkerSlim 2 battery pack.
I'm thinking about getting the Anker Slim 2 as an external battery. Do you think I could mod the micro USB with an exacto knife to fit into the Neo Hybrid case (like the one I did to in the picture)?
Trying to decide between the Anker Slim2 as an external battery pack and extra batteries to swap out. I'm pretty content with the Neo Hybrid case so will be leaving that on.

Any updates to which, if any, docks work with the neo hybrid?

I just ordered the KiDiGi from amazon. I'll see how it performs with the Spiegen Neo.

base received. the phone in the hybrid neo case does fit, however the micro usb plug in the base is not long enough. the phone does not charge.
To reiterate, KiDiGi Cover mate cradle charging and sync does not work with Spiegen Neo Hybrid case.

Best car cradle for s4?

Been looking for a place to put my phone other than the cup holder. Went to frys to check out some options but wanted to see what everyone else might be usong and loving. Tempted to order the samsung one using the 50% promo. For anyone who has the samsung one...does it attach securely to the dash?

I would have to say the ibolt xprodock I was iffy about paying $40 but it's so worth it. It fits any case. I'm using it With cygnett workmate. It can fit a note 2 with otterbox and still have room for more. It has charger and automatically starts car dock mode when u download an app for it. This seller I bought from is amazing I had a problem and fixed it and credited me a few bucks back . I wouldn't buy another dock. You can even use it as a dash cam because it keeps camera exposed

I agree with all of this. There's a iBolt thread in this forum where a bunch of other GS4 users have made posts. It's an excellent product, and their customer support is great.

Samsung does have one and it is available at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...TF8&qid=1369347219&sr=8-1&keywords=ECS-K200BE
However you have to pay the Samsung price if you know what I mean

Another vote for the iBolt dock. Secure, functions well, doesn't obscure the camera, lets the S4 in a Trident Kraken/Otterbox Defender fit, etc... pricey but worth it IMHO.

I was looking at that one too. Is there any chance someone has the neo hybrid case and could check to see if the usb can even be connected on the dock?

I can confirm that case does not fit charger...only problem I did have you can just change usb on the dock itself tho

It does not fit, but you can shave down soft plastic of the iBolt connector pretty easily with a x-acto/hobby knife. Or any sharp knife really. Took me 1-2 minutes to do. See my post with pictures here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41503354&postcount=35
There's also a bunch of other useful info about the iBolt dock in that thread.

I'm a big fan of these

It mounts securely and it solid and it's easy to clip and unclip the phone one handed. Adjustment is also one handed via push buttons and you can rotate it to and from landscape without changing your adjustments. My S4 will be my third phone to occupy the mount.

I've tried all the better model of car docks and the Craigsdocks dock is by far the best, IMO.
http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-ii-car-dock/
Charges, secure holding. Can put the phone in and remove it, all with one hand. No putting it in the dock and then plugging in the USB cable. Nope, this one is all done in one easy motion with just one hand.
A bit more $$, but it will work with any Samsung Galaxy phone. S2, S3, S4, Note II. So it's pretty much future proof as long as Samsung keeps putting the USB port on the bottom of the phone.
It also works with extended batteries and large cases. And billet aluminum. I just can't really say enough good things about this dock.

The car and desktop docks from Craig look great. A bit pricey. I wonder if the car dock can be attached to my proclips base.

That's exactly what I was going to do, right flat on the base with industrial strength Velcro tape - don't use screws, just Velcro that thing right to it and it should work just fine that way, the CraigsDock has a very flat base on the back of it and would work great with the flat face of the ProClip vehicle mount! Just make sure to get all the screws set first, obviously, or else you'll have to peal back the one side of Velcro just to get to it. Use Velcro tape and not double-sided tape because then you can't work with it quickly or switch out components when you get a new phone as easily! PROTIP :good:

Has anyone here tried out a magnetic mount?

I really like the iOttie One Touch XL that I just got. It has a very strong suction cup and an easy one click lock/release mechanism.
I got it on a sale from Meritline.
I'd also tried another iOttie that's more compact. While the S4 fits it, it's near the end of the range so it's more of a two handed operation to put the phone in the holder. I much prefer the Easy One Touch linked above.

I've had an iottie. Works ok but with my galaxy s4 my phones has fell out a couple times. Worth the extra money for ibolt
