Instead of being a total XXXX and posting that, you could post a link to something that is known to work well
Of course I googled it, I get results for all kinds of stuff. Reason why I ask a question on forums is so I don't wind up with some piece of XXXX Chinese plastic toy that breaks in a month.
Mod Edit: Removed foul language XDA is used by minors take this as a warning

wait for their official car mount to be released.

soooo sorry, didn't realize you were a "pro"

I use the 202 version with I got for 6 bucks on ebay...but seems the seller doesn't sell this anymore. It's a vent bracket. I like it cause it keep the phone cool while using GPS. Luckily I've no use for the heater down here in So. Cal.!

Did you even bother looking at the topics on the first page?
Lazy.

I had one that looks identical to this.
It worked great for about 25 minutes...
The little gears that allow you to move the arms in and out (to grip the phone, and at least in the version I had) are terribly cheap and broke off with very normal use on the very first day. Now it's completely useless as there is no tension from the arms to actually hold something in place.
YMMV, tho.

That thing just looks atrocious! For such a slick device I would never use such a monster of a mount... it would consume the whole phone... and how do you charge?!

The bottom part is open and I already have a 12v-USB cable.

I came from the iPhone 3GS and had a Griffin Window Seat for it. It works nicely with the N1...even with the case on it.

Is it a wrap around removable case or just a clear adhesive shield on the phone?
I currently have the Vroom case from Case-mate, and it would not fit into the iPhone 3GS holder for this mount correctly. I also tried it without the case and it would not stay secured. Earlier today I ordered a Gelli case from Case-mate which is said to have a little more of a snug fit, and I am wondering if this one may fit better. I am hoping it will give it just the little bit more to keep it inside the holder.

Infuse case with built-in kickstand

Has anyone seen or found a case for the Samsung Infuse that has a kick-stand in it?
This would allow you to place the phone on a table and not have to lean it against things to watch movies or whatever.
Thanks

I've seen them on e-bay.
Cranky...

there does not appear to be anyone currently offering them ...I too have seen them..but can not seem to find one now

Yeah the only ones I found with anything resembling a kick stand was the one or two that had that plunger looking thing you attach. Thanks

They can easily make a battery back that houses a kickstand just make it a little thicker.

Found this, not really a case with kickstand, looks like you set your phone in it and use it like that. Battery charger, with kickstand made for Infuse. Sorry, I'm new to this Xda, so they wont let me post a link. Go to CellularAccessory.com and search Samsung Infuse Kickstand.

thanks, been looking for one.

Sprint has a very nice carbon fiber case with a built in kick stand for their sgs2. I know the screen size is the same as the infuse but I believe its thinner and the form factor is more curved, not sure if it will fit.

i have the exact same thing at home for my nightstand!

While it is not a case I found something that works well for me. I use 2 binder clips as it makes a great stand for me and I can keep it in my pocket for when I need it.
Take a Large Clip and 1 Medium binder clip.
The large one keep like normal while the medium one you turn both of the silver rings to one side so you have a backwards L with the back part sticking straight up.
Then take the large clips and clip it on the silver rings as clost to the black as you can.
This holds the phone very very well and I am able to watch movies during my lunch with a normal head set pluged into it. So this does mean my head truns some but not to much and it does not move at all. This works with or without the silicon ruber thing around the phone. With out the rubber you can also do it with the small and medium binders to make it even smaller. I think lifehacker has pic on doing this.
I hope this will help someone.

i keep this in my wallet..

nuvi 200 clip works great with skyrocket

I have discovered the best car mount for my skyrocket ... a Garmin nuvi 200 series mount works awesome. I have the SGP Neo Hybrid case on my phone and it just snaps right in to the mount.... it doesn't move or slide around no matter if I have the phone vertical or horizontal.

Interesting. Got any pics?

I'm in middle of vacation right now..I'll get some pics up when I get back. Loving it so far.... I can even video my driving ... navigation is great ... see who's call while wearing a Bluetooth headset.

Just tried it. It works well.

I've been using this set up for quite a while. It's perfect with the TPU case. It snaps and very steady. I use it with Garmin friction mount that I bought from Amazon for $13. Pretty cool set up I may add.

I have that same mount and yes it's the right size for the Skyrocket with a TPU case. I don't use it only because I can't get the angle right in my car with the suction mount I have. I ended up buying a RAM mount.

buying one of these, hopefully its a 100% perfect match to the original ones...

Here's a pic..

good fit with pop case
This is very snug with a pop case - love it.

Has anyone tried it with a seidio surface case? I think it should be about the same thickness as the TPU or Pop case but I'd like to make sure.
**EDIT**
Just to let people know, this works great with the Seidio Surface case.

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.

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:

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.

[Q] Best car mount for S4 flip /s view cover

Since I got my first flip cover for the note 2 a while ago, I can't use anything else. Got one for the s4 and after that, a s view cover followed.
But I can't find and car mount that would work well with it. Everything I find assumes that you have a normal case.
If course I could fold the case and use it like that on a normal mount but I don't want to do that. I want to be able to shoot videos or take photos while driving.
Has anyone bought a car mount that works well with these cases?

I use a Clingo car mount, it works well and the cover rests on the arm on the back.
I haven't tried video recording though, I assume it might work unless the arm is in the way.

It basically sticks to your device. It doesn't leave anything on the back (I used it on both a Note 2 and an S4 and it's been fine for a year).
Also, it's quite reliable, at high speeds or on bumpy roads, although I'm still paranoid about keeping the window open at times.
There's also a small bonus, an NFC tag fits in the space on the back and can trigger car mode. In fact, if you install the tag lost Xposed mod, you can have car mode on when the phone is on the holder and off when it's not.

So the back cover of your phones is still good after all this time. I was reading some reviews for it and some people claimed that their back covers remained sticky after they took the phone off the car mount.

Yes, it does leave a non-sticky mark on the back that can be simply wiped off. Although I think that's actually the sticky part actually cleaning the device, so part of it looks cleaner than the rest.
Anyway, a simple wipe with your shirt would remove it, it's not sticky or anything.
