Car mount for Mi4 - Xiaomi Mi 4

In this thread we can share knowledge about Mi4 car mounts.
I haven't found any good car mount yet, only universal ones like these:

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
In my opinion these universal car mounts suck... Your phone never fits in 100%, and putting your phone into the mount or getting it out is a hassle.
My experience with previous phones has taught me that car mounts don't have to be expensive, but they should fit your phone like a glove. The car mount on the picture below (for a Samsung Galaxy i9000) is cheaper than $10, but it mounted my old i9000 for years without a problem.
I have been looking for days now to find a good car mount for my new Mi4, but without success..
Please share the method you guys use to mount your Mi4's in your car, so we can help out new Mi4 owners like myself...

Wallet Case for One S

Hello ladies and gentleman,
does any of you know if there are 'wallet cases' available for our beloved One S? I'm looking for ones like these: (from an iPhone)

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Ignore the backstrap...)
I have already googled around for myself, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
Maybe one of you has an idea if there are such cases, or maybe someone has a super secret special source?
Thanks in advance,
~ Datzi
//edit: I'm not looking for flip covers...
I would not dare wear a money pouch phone.
Not sure I like the idea of having my cards ad cash sticking out of the front like that but there are plenty of cases that have card slots on the inside. Of course there the problems is you can end up with card marks on the screen/protector over time.
NFC ??
i'm not sure about it but i think that the one s has an NFC chip in it... wouldn't it be interfering with your credit cards ??
No NFC chip in the One S but even if there were it would have no effect on a credit card.

[Q] Anyone uses dual suction cup car holder with Z3?

Does anyone use any of these:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My question is if its steady enough.?Also, if s.one bought from some specific place can he recommend?
Are the suction cups and the vacuum of good quality and strong enough?
Yes I tried one in a friends G63 (that thing is known for having a stiff suspension)
Very good suction on both ends, stiff enough for all kinds of use except video recording where it shakes a lot without extra support.
Tightening the rounded screws too hard will eventually make it loose within a couple of months
I have ordered one from Aliexpress. I need it only for in-car navigation.

I've always found suction cups slide off the windshield - have you looked into brodit proclips? love those things.

[Q] Tablet in my car: which devices??

Hello all! I have a project on my mind, but i need some help to choose the right devices to build it.
As far as my multimedia car device is almost broken and i cannot replace it (only with a same one but it is old and un-upgradeable) i would like to install a tablet (which have all the things i need, such audio player, GPS, all upgradeable!!!) but i think is quite difficult, because i have some needs that i don't know if are possible to do.

For Tablet i think to buy a Galaxy tab 4.
My questions are:
1. Which USB HUB i should buy? There is a device like the one i would?
2. Which Audio USB cards are compatibile?
3. There is a way to get charging device while usb audio and external usb hdd are working?
Thanks

Brodit proclip now fitted.

Hi all. I've just fitted the Brodit proclip to my car and I thought I'd share my findings.
1. The holder will fit the Nexus 6P complete with DBRAND skin. It will not however, support a case.
2. The built in charger is USB C however it only outputs at 2, not 3 amps. The phone simply shows as "charging" rather than " charging rapidly".
3. Fitting is straight forward as no tools are needed to get the mount to stay in place. The kit i went for is a hard wired kit which did mean removal of parts of the dashboard was necessary in order to tap in to a live and a ground. Thankfully the wiring is clearly labeled.
4. The mount is a tilt/swivel mount so it didn't take long to find a good position.
