I use the Quad Lock system, and I love it. I've had it for about a year.
I was looking into the quadlock but protection against dust and water seemed to be not there.

Anyone get this for their Fascinate? Seems to me that the weird thing is the lack of car mounts made for the Fascinate that fit a case.
I found this being talked about in a few forums and thought it looked cool. Comes with a silicone looking rubber case that just slips right into the mount. My question is if anyone has this and is the case that it comes with as big as it looks.

The second link is a video demonstration of the setup with an iPhone, but to my knowledge the iPhone is a rather slim phone. This case sorta makes it look pretty thick. Maybe it's just me... but I was curious to know what others who may have it thought.
It looks cheap and fragile.

While some might think it does... I have been hard pressed to find a good car mount made for the Fascinate. There clearly are universal mounts that would work, but something "like" the SlipGrip is much more form fitting.

The samsung OEM car mount is great. It also has a depression for the camera that you can dremel out in about 3.5 seconds to allow for HD video recording in your race car. If you have not found a "good mount", your not looking or your too cheap

My goal is to find a good car mount that fits a case. I would imagine everyone has a case of some sorts and was wondering what they are using in conjunction with what car mount.
ProClip has an adjustable mount for those with cases. They are not as nice and fitting as the ones made for the naked phone.

Then you select the vehicle mount made specifically for your car.
I've just been getting a bike (pedal bike) and would quite like to use my DHD on the bike, for GPS , etc is there a case or mount or anything that will go on a pedal bike , or if not is there a decent case I could strap round my arm, that would protect my phone in case of rain/falls

Bike mount
Hi,
I have found this fits a little tighter and feel like the phone wont flop about http://www.buybits.com/product/9264.aspx it is only £20 in the UK and I found in my local store a voucher to get some money off. Might still work "TESCO 1" at the checkout bit.
Anyways decent mount have used it on a mountain bike for gps and no issues with the case or mount. just not tried it yet when wet.
That's exactly what I'm after, cheers mate, will order one at the weekend I think.

Very cool. I've been thinking about taking videos while cycling (both looking into the camera or the camera pointing forward) like this guy (fast forward to 2:09) and this looks to be just right for that. I also use a tpu case so I'm hoping it will also fit inside the frame.
Thanks.

Getting slightly OT, but I think a camera mount on the helmet is the best bet for recording a trip, since it would point where you're looking (not where the handlebars are pointing) and bounce about much less.
Depends if it's road or mountain-biking I suppose...
On that point, I have often wondered about just how vulnerable a handlebar-mounted phone would be in the case of a fall: I have a feeling that beyond the shock of the fall, I don't think it would actually receive a direct impact, unless the fall was unusually spectacular. I've had a few and the stem-handlebar area doesn't seem to actually hit the ground.
I do wonder, though, on just how much vibration is healthy for a high end phone....
Yeah the helmet cam is a good idea (like many skydivers use) but to be honest I don't wear a helmet or head gear.
The guy in the video has quite a few cycling vids (he's just almost finished crossing the States on his bike) and his cam stability is pretty good and tripod based. I don't mind the shaking and vibration or wind too much. I use a mountain bike and it wouldn't be serious stuff - just out and about sometimes. To be honest - the glare on the screen makes me imagine the experience to be not so brilliant when using the display - unless riding at night maybe - but the screen should time out otherwise the battery won't last long. I'm hoping the TPU case would add extra padding.

I got this on Tuesday and it works spot on. Feels very sturdy and secure attached to my bike, I can confirm it is indeed very waterproof as I got caught up in some horrible rain and when I got home the phone was bone dry.

Why not try a bluetooth headset, and get a usb charger for the phone instead. Usb chargers can be bought from ebay.
Hi,
any experience of having this phone as bike computer?
I ve used my last year just for GPS tracking - turned on and put it to the bag. Now Iam looking for good bike mount, that would allow me to use this as normal bike computer.
Thx for answer
I'm assuming a motorbike? what type? Does it have a visor? If you do, you could probably get one of the suction cup arm mounts and have the phone on that. A clamp system would probably work better though, for security.
i would also like one too,
but for a bicycle
any idea? =D
I would love to have one for my motorbike too!! .. but I think it's hard to find something compatible with our desire z
For bicycle holders, there is this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bicycle-Bike-Mount-Holder-Cradle-HTC-Desire-HD-Z-/120645190552.
I haven't actually got it on my bike but another user on another forum has it and said it's pretty good for his use.
I just got me one of these
I ended up cutting the bike mount off as I only wanted it for the dry bag (touch screen still works)
Might fit the bill?

If you've got the otterbox case like I do, this is nice.

I use the "ultimate add-ons" one from Amazon on my motorbike. £20, comes with a 2 piece mount and waterproof case. Touchscreen works through the case too, so that's pretty handy. Some people have said the mount is flimsy and doesn't feel secure, but I just done mine up nice and tight and it is fine.

Ooo very nice
but too bad only from the UK
shipping to canada is gonna be a killer =[
otherwise i'd jump it
there's tons of stuff on ebay to hold your z down.
make a dyi and buy some super strong velcro and have it detatchable :laugh:
So out of the few choices available, which is really the "best" for the G2/Dersire Z? I don't want to buy one that isn't any good, but I don't want to purchase anything really expensive either. I was skeptical about this one mainly due to the fact that it looks like it'd fall out (on a biycle, not a motorbike).
Anyone know someone that has tried this out?
http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-SM427-U...=1345050697&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+g2+bike+mount
I really dont want my G2 flying off on the highway lol. There really aren't that many options to choose from, kinda sucks.
Hi,
Any one have experiences with using a car mount for their note 4 that is compatible with the S View case. I've come across some which are quite cheap but am wary some require you to take the case off... specially considering the size of the note 4.
Thanks.
I use this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009BIPEMG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works great with the Note 4 and any average sized case. It does not work with the Otterbox case though since the Otterbox adds so much girth. They do sell a larger RAM Mount though.
At any rate, this mount is really really solid. I can rotate the mount to landscape if needed without taking the phone out of the mount.
I use the Bracketron Si Earth Elements magnetic mount with my S-View case, absolutely love it! You need to put some metal pieces under the battery cover to give the magnet something to stick to, but once you do the magnet is strong enough to hold the phone with the S-View cover flipped around to the back. It also has little feet that flip out for the phone to rest on, which is definitely nice for a phone this size. All in all it's a pretty rock solid setup, I've never once had my phone fall out even going over some pretty serious bumpy roads and potholes. I highly recommend looking into it, once you get a taste of a magnetic mount you'll never want to go back! No arms, no grips, no springs, just drop the phone on it and you're done... it's about as quick and easy as it gets!
I will say that the included metal plates that come with the Bracketron do not fit very well under the battery cover, so I just cut some thin gauge sheet steel into a strip and it fits perfectly- no bulge or anything.
Anyway, here's a link to their site but you can pick it up at your local BestBuy or whatever, definitely should check it out!

I have the phablet car mount from Ram Mounts, absolutely the best car mount I have had so far for any phone.

you can save a bit by buying the individual components off ebay

It looks like this will press on the volume button all the time.
Where does the top left rubber thing sit on the side of the phone?
Any other good car mounts that play nice with the S View Case?

With the s view case it doesn't hit the buttons at all, the case holds it off....with other cases or naked you just position it a little lower and it works great.

Thanks.
Do you think it might deform the S View case in the long run then?
The case looks quite flexible.
I got the OsoMount 360, which is exactly like the Montar mount and while the mount feels solid it has the worst mechanism ever to operate. You need 3 hands to put or remove your phone properly.
So now I am contemplating between the Samsung Universal Smartphone Vehicle Dock (4.0" ~ 5.7") and the RAM X-Grip.
That Samsung looks nice! But nothing holds firm like the Ram Mount. I have a slip cover on my Note 4 so it does not accidentally press any keys.
Plus, the middle is just perfect for mounting an NFC tag to...
I am looking for a waterproof bike mount for my MXP, not necessarily a dedicated one but a reliable solid one that can withstand a lot bumps, I do some urban 'cross country' on the way to work it's quicker. At the moment I have to use my old Wildfire s in an iPhone case (never had an iPhone!) any help would be great thanks!
I'm not really sure about of the Runtastic bike mount if it fits the MXP, but it's a very solid choice AFAIK.
