To be completely honest, since its still early on in this phone's life... The "best" ones would be the universal pouches that strap on to your bars or stem, much like this guy right here http://www.amazon.com/ChargerCity-Motorcycle-Smartphone-Restistant-Protective/dp/B00DVTL4PW/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1397302416&sr=1-3&keywords=galaxy+s5+bike+mount... Give it some time and better stuff will come out.
I am waiting for some myself since I used my GS3 with Endomodo and Strava constantly. :laugh:

Keep an eye out on RokForm (www.rokform.com). I used their cases on my S3 and S4 and have the bike mounts installed on all 3 of my bikes. Looking forward to getting their case for my S5!
Edit: Just preordered!

Don't listen to the silly universal ones..
You want the best mount?? I'll tell you what the best mount is!!
It's a case.. That's right.. After riding 150 miles a week for many years and having all sorts of cycle computers, I wanted something CLEAN!! I bought a two piece case, like an otterbox (I forget the brand) and simply mounted the plastic to a typical ring clamp on my bike. I drilled/glues into the clamp so it was secured as could be!
When it was time for ride time, I would simply slide the rubber case (the second piece) around my phone than secured that into the mounted plastic case (The first piece)
It was 100000x better looking, it was actually USEFUL as you could use it while riding, it was also extremely secure! and could never come out without the proper bending and normal way you would take a phone out.

This was mounted so I could adjust on the fly, I used one of the garmin computer clamps I had laying around that would twist sideways and up and down. so when I got going I can adjust the phone so its angled with the wind and won't be a mud flap

just got one of these.. its absolutely amazing. works perfect with a case as well. http://www.niteize.com/page/Handleband-Nite-Ize.asp

exactly, i wouldn't be caught dead with that and the S5 doesn't need extra water protection

Check out Kraken A.M.S cases. They have a variety of Mount attachments. I used one with my Nexus for 2500+ highway miles on my motorcycle.

Any more thoughts on this, now that the phone has been out for a while? I'm looking for something than can expand, as I have my phone in this case with the extended battery:

Have great bike mounts .. they have ones for naked and cased phones...

Galaxy S5 bike mount
This is another option. Its universal but am not sure if it'll take S5 with Zerolemon battery pack. I use mine with my S4 and with my Moto G.

I ended up getting this, and it fits the S5 with the ZeroLemon case/battery perfectly.

I currently have Cygnett Universal II Bike Mount for my S3 Mini and am quite happy with it. Would someone recommend me this http://www.ultimate-mobiles.co.uk/C...cle/Water_Resistant_Mount_Outdoor_Case?bid=30 as it's the same design as the one I now have (and love <3). Basically I want a case just like the Cygnett Universal II, but larger, because the S5 won't fit in it. Let me know what you think about the case. Thanks!!

I finally found one just came into stock on 1st of Sept from ultimate mobiles in the uk
http://www.ultimate-mobiles.co.uk/C...f_IPX5_Tough_Mount_Case_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S5
Delighted with it, not a pouch, a proper rugged case. A little large but no modding required for battery and head phones etc

I Have one on my S5 great holder i also go the car mount at the same time , again second to non ...
One draw back its a little thick for the wireless charging to work.

I have a Samsung S5, and ride the bike to and from work daily. I just installed a Rokform stem mounted kit and case on my road bike stem, and rode to work with my beloved S5 firmly attached to the stem mount this morning. All is well, so far, as I experienced Strava talking to me throughout the ride about how I was doing! Times on segments were announced real time, as the prior 6,000 miles Strava was buried in my seat pack with my phone set to SILENT.
This stem mounted kit seems very solid, in every way. It is secured by the case for the phone, two magnets, and a lanyard wrapped around the stem, just in case. I'll check back in a few weeks once I have some miles on the case and mount.

Guys, what do you think about this one?

Expensive car mount alternative

So I want to put my phone flush to the dashboard. When I was using the Samsung Focus, I had a case that I used only for when I was in the car because I put Velcro on the back of it and on my dashboard. It stuck really well and I could still see everything on my dash. I don't really want to have something sticking to the windshield and my dashboard isn't really built for having anything sticking on top of it. Instead of a case this time, I was thinking I might be able to take the part that clips on to phones (with enough room for a slim case on the HOX) and just put the Velcro on that. It was a bit annoying having to swap out cases every time. I was thinking maybe something like the Car Mount Mobile Dock for Samsung Galaxy Note would be a good choice. Since I can't post any links yet search for Car Mount Mobile Dock for Samsung Galaxy Note on smartphonepedia's website. Basically, it's a spring loaded dock so it's adjustable. Also, it has these four holders that would only hold the sides so if I place it right there should be nothing blocked. I don't really feel like spending so much for it though.
Has anyone tried this before? As long as the mount comes with at least two parts, one that attaches to the phone then attaches to a mount, I would be fine with it. Though I would want something that isn't TOO flimsy either. Or has anyone seen a mount that's kind of minimalist when it comes to holding the phone? Too many universal mounts use grips that are too large.
Edit: Alright, so I looked around some more and found a few that seem like they would work. They are on Amazon: the LAZA Zip Grip universal car mount, iShot mount: mini universal holder, CYGNETT universal car mount, and the Clingo mount. The Clingo mount is the most expensive, but has anyone tried it?
Check out this arkon mount, it works with the one x. I've recommended it here before and people seem to like it; it's only $18.
http://www.arkon.com/htc One X/mobile-grip-htc-one-x-car-mount.html
Would that work with a case on, say an otterbox?

This particular mount I'm not sure, as I don't have an Otterbox case. I'm guessing it'll work with the thinner otterbox, but I couldn't say.
They have a version of this mount for the the Galaxy Note, that think will work with almost any case:

Has any of you guys tried this?
http://lifehacker.com/5747897/how-to-build-a-car-mount-for-your-cellphone-from-office-supplies
Thats what I use, no uglier or better looking than a hunk of plastic suction cupped to your dash and its probably free if you have a binder clip around somewhere
Arkon mounts are great, they come in almost any configuration you'll need for your vehicle. I have a truck, so I wen't with a floor mount. Placed the bracket one of the seat rail bolts, and It works awesome! It's right next to my shifter, and down lower so I don't have to reach up to mess with it.
http://www.arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-floor-mount.html
I'll snap a picture of it if you want it.
EDIT: works with any type of case, and phone. width is fully adjustable. Just pop the phone on the stand, squeeze the clicking side holders in until its tight on your phone, and you're good to go. When you want it off, there is a button on the side you press, and it releases the side holders.
+1 for the Arkon slim grip. The thing is amazing and well hold almost any phone.

These are phone specific and great quality. Unfortunately, these are not case compatible... only skins on the phone.
I got the hardwired unit and did the installation myself.

Looks like they do make a case compatible mount also:

Also note you'll need to check for the part to mount to your vehicle. Since its a two piece modular solution, just upgrade the phone holder piece as you upgrade devices.
I've purchased PROCLIPS USA Mount for my Acura TL 2006, works great!!! :good: However, it isn't really cheap. I've tried many cheap mounts in the past and they are definitely not worth the time, terrible build quality.

Bike mount for Nexus 4

Hello all,
I just wanted to share the Bike mount I am currently usingg for my Nexus 4.
In fact, I use the one for Galxy SIII, that I slightly modified for the power button.
The phone fits perfectly and the whole package is quite easy to install and remove.

Cheaper but nowhere near as cool, I have this and it fits my Nexus 4 and the slim case perfectly:

It was able to fit my old Galaxy Nexus, too, but the Galaxy Nexus was always harder to slide back out.

Its actually really cool in my opinion if it would fit. You could squish your sandwich behind your phone! But seriously, timbuk2 has great construction. Take a closer look at the materials and construction. Its pretty sweet in comparison.

Re: Bike mount for Nexus 4 (hint: The Galaxy SIII fots perfectly!)
Update on the Timbuk2 Goody Box... It's a no go. I finally got to see one today, and to my surprise is a lot smaller than I expected. You might get an iPhone 5 in there, but A Nexus even without any case is just too tight.
A second problem with it is that the flap at the top doesn't cover the opening to the phone pouch... So it's not at all waterproof.
Hope this comes soon enough to save someone an order...

Yeah. I was awaiting your response before ordering and from other reviews, figured it wouldn't fit. I think I could make something similar when I get some hobby time, so thanks for sharing!

Hi,
can you tell me what is the modification that you made in the case?, I mean, in order to use the power bottom.
Thanks in advance.
Check also here my cheap solution, for holding precisely the nexus when it doesn't have any case.

This is what I use
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008CMWY66/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I can use this case with a TP case on my phone. An external battery pack also fits in the case behind it, with a mini USB cable with a right angle fitting. Its waterproof and can be used through the window and can rotate to landscape/portrait.
Rob
Thanks to both, but I had ordered the case described in the 1st post, maybe if I had asked first... now it is late. Anyway, I think those solutions can help to people who are looking for a bike mount.
Thanks!
Finally, got this "Bicycle Bike Cycling Roswheel Frame Pannier Bag Front Tube Bag Phone Cell." Purchased it on Amazon and received this about a month after I ordered it (comes from China)
I have a diztronic case and it does fit very tightly but without the case, an excellent fit.Bag attaches to the frame and stem. Has a compartment to put your keys and wallet. Will try to use it today since its been raining off and on here in NYC.

I havent taken pics of it but, the bike mount I purchased ("Bicycle Bike Cycling Roswheel Frame Pannier Bag Front Tube Bag Phone Cell)"is pretty good. Fits real snug with my diztronic case but, i take the case off. can put keys, wallet, unless its filled like George Costanza's. Reading it while riding in the sunlight is a no go unless you stopped to look at it. You can also put an mp3 player and run the headphone cord from the bag.
I'll take pics and add later.
I have now done this, see http://wechook.com/?p=135
I've had the opportunity to test both http://www.ibikeconsole.com/ mounts suitable for Nexus 4, the GS3 and GS4 models, and in my humble opinion GS3 mount is better for Nexus 4:
* It fits better, GS4 has more space in there and it is tighter (for a bigger and thinner phone), GS3 fits like a glove with no issues;
* Camera window matches on GS3 with Nexus 4 camera, when on GS4 the window is in the middle so no camera there;
* On the other hand, GS4 mount has a headphone hole in same place as Nexus 4, when with GS3 mount you are out of luck;
* Both mounts have power button lower that on Nexus 4 so a tie here;
So if You came here for Nexus 4 mount, GS3 is the one! Unless You prefer headphones over camera, Nexus 4 still fits in GS4 mount, it is just harder to close it, I did not try the waterproofness of it but it looks like it seals completely.
With the mount, we can use N4 as a GPS~~!!
It`s very nice.
But the battery may gone very fast!

Looking for a good S4 bicycle handlebar mount

Preferably one that mounts to the handlebar stem. Anybody have any experience with different brands? Its going on my mountain bike so needs to withstand some jarring around. Not worried about protecting the phone, thats what my Best Buy accidental damage plan is for . Im familiar with the Topeak brand but not hot on the case it goes into. Thanks in advance!!!
Trident makes one for the Kraken case. It mounts to the bar but it does hold the phone very security.
Hope this helps

iOttie makes one. I have their car mount and I'm very satisfied with it. It looks like the same mount on their bike version. I have a Case Mate case on the phone now and it fits securely. I'll respond back when my Cygnett case gets here.

I have a RAM mount I used for my motorcycle and GPS. They already have a device mount for it, I'll give you my ball mount if you want it, just pay for shipping. I got a helmet with Bluetooth speakers so I don't need the GPS mount anymore.
I know its for the S3 but this will be awesome when its out for the S4. I will be getting one for my mtn bike.
I emailed them asking if and when something would be out for the S4

Dunno. Never owned an S3. + Im not going to tell someone to get something if its not spec'd to the device.
Like I said, I emailed them and hopefully within the next couple of days they will reply.
However, I did find some specs on the S3 and S4 in the meantime.
136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm S4
136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm S3
You be the judge.
My wife has an S3, some stuff fits (like the armband), but I wouldn't bank on hardcases or anything like that fitting.

Here's the response from GMYLE
Dear
Thank you for the inquiry. Actually the cover fits S4 as well basically, but the earphone position is not really accurate.
Regards,
Loch
I sent another email asking if it works with/without headphones being that he said it wasn't accurate......a lil more information would be nice.
......so I don't know. Its only $25.98, so it would be a huge loss to try.
Rok Form Makes one that seems pretty beast, peep it.
http://www.rokform.com/products/accessories/galaxy-s3-v3/v3-bike-mount-limited/
+1 for RAM mounts. There a bit pricey, but very rugged and worth it in my opinion. I went with this one.
RAM Universal Finger-Grip™ Phone/Radio Holder
its completely adjustable to hold any smart phone too.
Update on the case I posted about.
Thank you for the mail. It can fit a S4 in, but the headphone plug is not guaranteed to work. According to our product promotion staffs, there will not be one for S4 yet.

Loch

QUADLOCK!
I've been jealous of my friends Quadlock for their iPhone on their bike, it seriously has protected and survived everything, but i have an S4 so all i can do is be jealous! I have the Universal Adaptor for my phone, but i want a pretty case too!
They're soon to release an S4 case, but right now i just have an adaptor... I'm waiting
So I ended up with the Rokform!! and this thing rocks!!!
So I ended up with the Rokform V3 bike mount and V3 case. It was just released for the S4 about a month ago. This thing is awesome!! Durable and made in the USA.... Cost was about $90 but worth every penny for the serious mountain biker or enthusiast. Check out their website www.rokform.com. they have some videos on YouTube also....

Review: Nite Ize Steelie Car Mount

Just picked this up today at a local farm store (Rural King) for $14.91. I'm Pretty shocked I found it this cheap, since its retailing for $34.99 on NiteIze's website. https://www.niteize.com/product/Steelie-Car-Mount-Kit.asp. It comes with an alcohol swipe, for prepping the area you'll be sticking Steelie too. There's also a 3M primer stick for when applying onto a soft, vinyl, rubber, or textured surface.
I like how it's a ultra minimal car mount and can be placed just about anywhere with its 3M VHB foam adhesive. I've got the magnetic metal backplate attached to my Speck case, which will hold my phone during travel. I've attached some pics and will update how this mount handles in my large car. If it performs good here it'll work in probly any situation. Also it'll stick to almost any metal surface, like my refrigerator lol. I stuck my phone to a metal picnic table and the neodymium magnet is strong enough to to move/wiggle the table before it lets go.
Update: 5/19 After 314 miles of bouncing around, I can say this is a very solid car mount.

How was the backplate attached on your case?
Like, is it removable?

It's attached with the adhesive foam tape. Personally I've removed it to get it more towards the center of my case and have had no issues. I would think if the adhesive wore out you could get the 3M double sided 11 psi tape and repair it that way. Also there is replacements sold on the website.

So it's just stuck on with tape, meaning i would have to remove the phone from the case if i didn't want a case with extra thickness?

Yes. I chose to stick it to my case since this Speck case scuffs up easily. I'll be getting another case that I'll use outside my truck. I have no problem swapping cases when I get ready to drive or get out of my truck. Also I don't really mind it on my Speck case currently since it provides a little lift and makes the speaker sound better. I don't notice the back plate either in my pocket.

Except now I have to find where it's sold for $15. It's crazy expensive online.......

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.

Ill be using this, have had it since my Nexus 5 and it holds my Nexus 6 Currently so will have no issues with the 6P

I've got this one, one of the best mounts I've ever found, super sticky gel suctioncup that stays in place forever, hot ass NM summers, cold winters, stays there.
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:

I have this for my Galaxy S6 Edge (The S6 attaches to it without a magnet but it comes with one).
I loved it. I hate those suction ones that go on the windshield.

Unfortunately,
I'm not going to use it with my 6P as I don't think it has magnets to hold it up and I don't want to use the strip as I want to show off that Nexus logo.
Alas, I'm giving it to my girlfriend.
I highly recommend a CD one like the one I linked though, it's nice and sleek!
I've been using this for a little over a year now and happy with it

Hey!
Do you mind taking a picture of that in your car or something?
I want to see how bulky it is / looks.
Happy to oblige

Oops, didn't quote you but I posted a picture of it in my car.
Check out ram mounts. They have a great selection that fits all types of vehicles.
Here's mine which is custom mounted for my MINI.

That mount setup looks terrific! How does the Ram mount connect to that custom arm. I believe the ram mount has a ball joint on the back, and I'm curious as to how you did yours up.
Pro Clips are well worth the money. 6p will be the 3rd phone that will go in mine. Still good as new.

Giving this one another recommendation. Have it in my Subaru for almost two years now.
It's very solid and sturdy.

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.

I use the same one and love it! Great for when I'm using GPS.
Kenu Airframe is pretty good.
I'm using it couple of years.
