Well, I had looked at ebay. All I can find is universal car holder! It would be really helpful if you had given me the link!
Come on guys I'm sure you'll be using atleast a universal one. I'm glad to get anything that will take my phone properly. I saw one at ebay for £6 from eCell (from where I bought my holder for Tocuh Diamond, very good), but not sure how this is going to be, since the charging port is on the right side. iGO 8 is working fine with TG01, so it would be nice to keep it in the car.

No, because you close the vent that the phone is attached to !

but is it possible to charge the phone in this cradle? it seems from the pic that the charging port is closed by the holder...we need to charge the phone while using TG01 because of poor battery life

Yes it is - the "arms" move up and down, so you can set them to avoid the Camera/Power/Charge areas.
The entire holder has base that can twist 90 degrees - so yes, you can still use it in Landscape mode !
Proclip
proclipusa.com does not make one for the TG01 however what they do make is some fabulous product that are sleek, simple and work fantastic.
If you look thru the dimensions of different phones the HTC P6300 measures about the same as the TG01 and works great. Easily slides in and out and all the ports are accesable. The holder is also capable of doing a complete 360 so landscape and portrait are not a problem.
I use the phone in the car for MP3, GPS and phone. If I could only find a charger/3.5mm audio plug that would work at the same time that would be my little slice of heaven.
Good luck

Good finding. I was comparing latest HTC phones with TG01, hoping something will match but never found one.
Cradle
Hi I got a universal one from a T-mobile shop. Its strong and has a fixed arm from the windscreen suction pad, so no wobbling around. I use it daily you can charge it at the same time as there is a hole in one of the arms that you can get the cable through.
I have attached a photo of it.
And a link to T-mobile.
hope this is of help.

As bobo972 posted the link on ebay(Italy, Spain), I searched ebay UK and can not find the same thing here. Cant undestand whether those traders charge postage, how much. May be bobo972 can help to translate the page!
Hey everyone,
I'm not sure how many of you are aware of this product but I just found it on sale at Canadian Tire here in Canada and I'm very impressed. It's just so convenient.. I can't believe I haven't seen this before. I am amazed by it, honestly.
http://www.tetrax.com/us
Look at the XWAY and FIXWAY primarily. I purchased the XWAY at Canadian Tire for $30 (regular $50). A little expensive compared to what I am used to, but I am very happy with it so far.
The reasons I like this solution:
Works with any type of device
Sturdy and secure. Even holds me 5" GPS (though I prefer to use Google Navigation )
Allows for the keyboard to be open on most (if not all) qwerty phones
Allows for portrait and landscape rotation
Is not visible when device is on the mount
Is very small and unobtrusive when device is not on the mount
There are no clips or snaps to fiddle with, just slide off the device
You can use this with 4 devices out-of-the-box as it comes with 4 different sized magnetic pads for your devices
This does not introduce a magnetic field to yoru device (the magnet is broken into 4 and arranged intelligently)
The negative things I've discovered about this solution:
You need a magnetic pad on each device you want to use
The XWAY can be accidentally pulled off the vent if you yank the device straight off of mount instead of sliding it off
Depending on your car vents, the angle that the device is pointed might not be ideal
I will post pix tomorrow if anyone is interested! The site has quite a few to look at until then.
Here's some pix!
I don't have photos of it in the car quite yet. I'll try to get some tomorrow morning.
Today I found the FIXWAY at BestBuy and decided that I might like that better since it can be positioned in a better spot in my car. My cars vents are not ideal since the steering wheel covers part of the screen when mounted there. However, even so, the XWAY has been by far the best car mount I've ever seen or used. The FIXWAY should be even better (for my particular car).
I also discovered that the FIXWAY doesn't actually get fixed to the car itself as I thought, but instead it uses a square magnet which you fix to your car. It actually comes with 2 of these in case you want to use this in 2 cars. Like the metal button that you stick to the phone, the square metal that goes on the car has 3M adhesive on the back. It's super strong, works great.
Anyway here's some photos of both the XWAY and FIXWAY I took in my living room.
Very interesting. But, in my feeling, the lack is that we can't orientate the phone ...
I guess it depends how your car's dashboard is angled. Mine faces me just fine and the videos I've seen it seems like most work out fine
And for rotation, you can rotate it any which way before or after your phone is mounted.
I have had the xway for about 2 months now and I love it. If you are attaching it to the vents their is really no reason to have to angle the phone. I agree that if you have some weird vent configuration it may be an issue.

Wow I guess I didn't so the best job at reading through that thread! I even posted a link from there to here on page 11. Good pix though! Thanks
Here are some pix of the FIXWAY in the car without the phone on it (all I had to take the pix was the phone). One of these days I'll remember to bring out the camera..
Oh, and good news... It seems that you can actually angle/tilt the phone with the FIXWAY. It must be the shape of the magnet or something, and the fact that the 'X' is rubber, I am able to tilt it and it holds in place. Not a lot, but enough that I was able to cut down on some glare on the drive home
That's pretty cool, And I actually lik the blob on the back of the phone

It should stick to any shell/case just fine I would think?
For some years I use some velcro (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velcro). The soft side on my phone, lighter. The hard side on the dash.
Costs almost nothing. Works very well, except in the summer when it is very hot (than the glue gets sticky)

FINALLY took some photos.
I am still very much in love with this thing. My whole family has'em now, which is awesome because whenever I drive any of their cars I'm set
Is it weird that it reminds me of a tie fighter?
Thanks for the recommendation and all the pictures. Difficult to find a mount that doesn't interfere with the camera and/or volume buttons.
I found something interesting about the G2X, i'm running CM7 nightly #201
If you place a magnet near the battery door the phone will automatically launch Car Mode. I would wager to say that its for a possible car dock that was maybe never released and that it does this by using the magnetometer (Compass). I don't know if this is a feature of the G2X or CM7 I have not tried this on any other rom. I have tried it on my friend's various other android devices (Droid 2, Bionic) (all running stock) they don't exhibit this behavior.
link to the video
http://youtu.be/P0ayzgq7LdU
Thoughts?
I want to say you're correct about it being some feature for a dock. I doubt the magnet would just make it run a random program, has to be intentional.
I had a phone that would auto unlock if it got near a magnet which was dumb for me because my pouch had a magnet, and had to cut it out.
Pretty neat though, maybe you can somehow change what launches when it feels a magnet? Like a magnet in your car, it could auto-run a music app or Google maps .
Yes, the G2x has a magnetic switch that is designed to be activated by a magnet when placed into a compatible car dock. Lots of people have run into that when using a case with a magnetic closure; depending on where the magnet is located in the case, it can accidentally put the phone into car mode. It's pretty common; there are actually some applications in the market (Dock No-Op, for example) that are specifically intended to circumvent this behavior.
Here is something more interesting, get a stronger magnet and pass it through the hard drives on your pc, it will start car mode also!
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

technically, the only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media.

They _did_ release a car dock. And a desktop dock. I bought them from my local T-Mobile store the week they put them out on shelves. Using an embedded magnet to enable dock functionality is pretty common among manufacturers.
Mine used to go off by being too close to my speakers.
Blackberry had a magnet in the holsters to sleep the phone. I thought it was magic til I figured out what it was.

Hi ,
I've just posted the MONTAR by winnergear in the top3 accessories post , definitely worth a shot
I'd recommend buying an Exogear and being done with it! Exogear makes awesome mounts, and they'll hold many devices with or without a case!

I recommend the Oso Mount. This can be used in 2 ways:
1 - sticky side on your windscreen/dash and clamp on your phone (up to 5 inch wide)
2 - sticky side to the back of a tablet and clamp on car vents
This is version 2 at £19:

Version 1 is £14
I had the ibolt for the s3 already and it fits great and has room for a case but for some reason I can not get it to charge and output audio to my stereo. Loved my mount when i had my s3 but anyone know what would cause it to not charge or output audio. Is this the same problem you are having with your mount?
There are plenty of threads already about this exact topic on this section, and if you had searched, you would have found my review of the iBolt..... no need for a new thread asking when you could do the research and find which one works best for you!

on the note 2 i dont think so..
dont think it blocks it on the S4 either but i dont have the phone yet (waiting on my verizon pre-order). makes no mention of it on their website or in the reviews
Just took the mount out for a test drive. I stuck the suction cup to my dash and Im surprised how sticky it was. Totally wasn't moving. Also it doesn't block the camera on my nexus so definitely won't block it on the note 2 or S4. Best 20 bucks I spent on a car mount ever

The pictures on the website show that it might partially block the power and volume rocker? I wonder if that would be an issue for the S4? I also wonder how hard it clamps down on the phone when it is placed into the mount. The video on the website only shows a bunch of pictures, not a real-time demonstration. Other than those issues, it looks promising.

testing it with my nexus, it does not block the power button but it does cover about half if not more of the volume rocker. dont have my S4 yet, so i cant fully test it.
I ordered this one from Cdiscount Grip Phone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Po5Xsz1MiE last week, it should arrive soon...
it has good reviews, seems non dependant on the device you own (hope it'll hold as fine with my note 8 also, would be great...)
so from the looks of it and even if the arm could have been longer, i would recommend this mount..

Hi does anyone know a good car stand for this kind of a big device?
Was thinking about this magnetic thing, I wonder if it will hold the massive load of this heavy phone. and I wonder if any bump on the road will cause the device to move on this magnet stand.
what are your thoughts, and what do you guys use?
Thank you in advance.

I have one that sticks to my dash. It works very well. It was only $5 at the local Five Below store.
