I highly recommend this great universal car mount. It may be the best one on the market.
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windshield-INCREDIBLE-BlackBerry-Revolution/dp/B007FHX9OK
Pros:
- The suction cap is very strong on smooth and on grooved surfaces.
- Adjustability in every direction.
- Tightening joints.
- Levers for one hand phone release and a quick button to grab it.
- Adjustment for phone height.
Cons:
- It vibrates a little when the car is running but not enough to bother me
- No wireless charging. Plugging cables is not that much fun but maybe I can DIY something later.
I use an iottie flex 2 really good. I don't put it on the dash though only on the windshield.
For a generic, it looks over priced to me.

True. The price hovers around $20.
To me it's worth paying the money for a good car mount, you guys can decide for yourselves.
Although the stand itself could be replicated for a fraction of the price I doubt
generic mounts use the same quality suction cap. The dash on my car where i have it is curved
and the surface itself is grooved. The suction cap is not made out of rubber and is very hard
to pull out even when the latch is up.
This thing works great. It has enough space to fit the Nexus 4 with a bumper. I also mounted a NFC sticker behind it to automatically open maps and start bluetooth. Works flawlessly. One complaint, the suction cup is too sticky. I have to pull really hard to get the gel cup to release from my dashboard.
Another vote for the iottie Have one in my car and it's perfect! As others have noted, the suction cup is STRONG! Which is a good thing....

seems a bit overpriced =)
The iOttie carries a premium in price because of its patented suction cup.
I've had my eye on them for a while, and supposedly the suction cup can work on your dash, even if it has ridges/grooves/isn't perfectly straight.

I use the same case and fits fine. But I use the iottie flex 2 mount. Just get that it holds the phone firm even without the third bracket for support.

I'm going to buy this! I have LG OEM bumper too.
P.S: I was thinking that....When i leaved my Nexus 4 under the sun, it heats a lot (even much more than when you play a game).
And that won't be good for the battery.
What's your trick inside the car?
Hey guys for those wondering,
amazon overprices this car mount like crazy for some reason. From their website you can it sells for 20 bucks. Being a canadian you can eve get it for 18 bucks from 123inkcartridges (weird huh). But yeah got mine, its fantastic.
Hey all. I need a good car dash recommendation for my Note 4.
I'd like one that is perhaps a bit flexible with size, as I have a Spigen Tough Armor case on it, as well, and would like not to have to remove it to put it in and take it out of the dash mount.
Anyone have any recommendations that can suit this purpose?
Thanks in advance, and Amazon links are greatly appreciated, as well. First hand accounts are also generally more favored over just links, because I am asking for recommendations, after all.
i use an itian wireless charger with a samsung oem qi back and the iblason armorbox case. i mounted the itian vertically on the car dash with scotch outdoor waterproof double sided tape. it works very well. instant charging when i push it into the itian charger and i can pull it out with no problems. note that the phone is too heavy for the air vent mounting (it cracks the air vent) and the suction cup works very badly.
I use this one. Works great with uag case.

Thanks for your time, but that is, unfortunately, not what I am looking for. I already have a case, and do not worry about wireless charging, so this doesn't fulfill any of the criteria I mentioned.

Unfortunately this is a no-go for me as my CD player slot is behind my touch screen, and I actually use it, so this would not work for me. Thanks for your time, however.
I use the Bracketron Earth Elements Si magnetic mount, it works amazingly well. The magnet is easily strong enough to hold the phone securely, I've never had mine fall or shift even going over seriously bumpy back roads, and it has little feet that flip out for the phone to rest on that make it even more sturdy. You need to put a small metal plate on or in the back of the phone somewhere to give the magnet something to grip, I have mine under my battery cover because I use an S-View case but for you it would be even easier as you can just put the plate underneath your Spigen between it and the phone. As far as convenience and ease of use goes, I haven't found anything that even comes close! Once you try a good magnetic mount you'll wonder how you ever got along without it
Here's the link to the Bracketron site, like I said I use the Si mount but they also have a gooseneck version if you'd prefer.

Seriously, give it a try, you won't regret it ;P
I've had the Exomount 2 in my truck for 2 years and it's held my Garmin GPS, S3 and now my Note 4 with no problems.

Get the holder and then choose whatever base you want. I had one of the x-mounts on my motorcycle and the phone never came out unless I TOOK it out.

This is the ultimate stand ever manufactured. Small, safe (in case of crash), strong, quick, universal. There are many YouTube videos about it.

That is WAY Overpriced! There's the same sort of thing on amazon, just type in "Magnetic Car Mount." 4 out of the first 5 are less than $15, and do the exact same thing.

I use an iBolt xPro, bought it a couple of years ago for my Galaxy S3, it fits fine for my Note 4 with Seidio Dilex Pro. It's adjustable in bot axes. I'd contact them and check about your case (if you like this one) to ask about your case/phone combo.

I bought one of these in April of last year for my Note 2, as well. However, when it arrived broken, I decided not to stick with it, and wound up not getting anything.

This one seems interesting. I may look into it and go with it. It's a bit higher priced, but it has some extra features that seem nice.
will the iOttie One Touch XL hold the note 4 with it's UAG case, or it's to big for any car mount?
I'm not looking for a magnetic one or CD/vent holder. just regular suction cup, that can hold a large case like the UAG.

Hi Majin, the xProDock from iBOLT has just become available in a new version that includes a 2.1 Amp car charger with an integrated Bluetooth aux-out streamer & hands-free, see http://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-xProDock-Bluetooth-Charging-aux-out/dp/B00PPAQRUW/ This is awesome if you have a car-stereo with a standard 3.5 mm aux-in port but without support for audio streaming (so called "A2DP"). See this short YouTube video how the streaming part works... Because Android phones can handle two Bluetooth connections at once (iPhone can't!) you can set this little unit to stream music/gps to your car-stereo and have a 2nd Bluetooth solution for hands-free. They will both reconnect automatically when you step into the car... Always cool to stream Pandora, Spotify, iHeart etc. to the car-stereo
The xProDock includes a pre-programmed NFC tag so you can start "DockMode" automatically when you step into the car. The free Dock'n Drive App (link) can start Bluetooth automatically, turn off WiFI, start the Hotspot and much more plus that it gives you a cool interface when you drive. Of course you can download this and use it with any other car-dock too.
Good luck finding the right solution for you!

Thanks. Unfortunately for me, I didn't wait. I bought the other one last month on the 22nd. I really like it, and to me the only downside is I need to reconnect the Bluetooth to my car stereo everytime I get in. A small downside, however.
Thanks again, i'd recommend this one to folks looking for a newer solution.

I have a truck and the iOttie touch 2 is amazing I have a note 4 in a spigen case and it goes no where and could not say better things about it.
Did you guys tried this one?

I bought it for my note4 but since it comes withbtwo magnets i also use with my tab 10.1. Awsome stuff. No pain when getting in the car. Just touch the magnetic pad and it never came off. Best 20€ i spent. Give it a try. I was looking for years for something that worked half as good as this!

Found a store near me that sells both the iOttie One Touch XL & Easy One Touch 2. both fits the Note 4 with good grip. but when added with the UAG case, which is pretty thick, the XL holds it better. still, it's not 100% fit with the UAG case, but will do the job. so i bought it, had the chance to test it and so far it's great.

I've always liked RAM mounts because they tend to be bombproof, rock solid. I got this one for windshield mounting my Note 4:

Wanted to know if any of you use magnetic phone holder.
There are many choices and wanted to if there is a problem to put the magnetic sticker between the phone and the case (spiegen hybrid) ?
I worry about the influence on the phone from the magnet.

Been using a circular vent magnet on my phone for a couple years now. I used the air doc on my Note 4 then switched to the Spigen vent magnet. Never anything corrupted files, screen issues, nothing. I put the little metal plate between my Spigen rugged armor care and phone and it's perfect. The phone might adjust a little over big bumps or pot holes, but I've never had a phone fall of the mount

Magnets won't erase the data on the phone. You're probably thinking of magnets and hard drives...
@OP, I use these in my cars and a word of warning. They don't hold the 6P very well. It's too big of a phone and it comes lose (especially true under strong accelerations and turns [emoji6])
Sent from my Nexus 6P
so, what you recommend for the car ?
i need phone holder (nexus 6p size + note edge) and car charger for both.
I know that our is type C and note is regular USB.
For anyone having issues with the Nexus 6p sticking to the magnet over bumps.. go to Amazon and buy an 8 pack of square metal pieces that stick on your cases between phone and case ($4 for an 8 pack). I stuck 2 metal plates between my case and phone and that suck won't move. I have the Spigen case with the carbon fiber on top and bottom. I always forget the name, but 2 pieces of those metal squares between your phone and case and your not moving. Matter fact the pull is so hard it pulls the phone out of my front pocket to the magnet when I get in the car lol.

I've been using the Logitech +Drive and it grips just right - no slide off problems at all & it somehow releases perfectly too.
http://www.logitech.com/en-nz/product/plus-drive?crid=1537
There are two versions, I have the one with the puck with sucker - so needs a flat surface or nearly flat surface for the sucker or sticky pad sucker plate to grip to. The other version grips to air vent & I can't comment on how smoothly that version works.
Note the 6p does have a magnet trigger for the folio case - so I had to install the xposed module "Magnetoff' to disable this - otherwise the screen turned off whenever I mounted the phone.
I initially had the adaptor plate 'loose' between phone and a slim case - which worked okay but it did move a bit occasionally. I've since applied a dbrand skin & have stuck the adaptor plate direct to it & it's working perfectly.
