Hello !
I'm searching for a non-foldable case (in one piece) for my brand new Z-FLIP 4, but I can't find it anywhere.
Anyone know if this exists?
You're probably wondering why a Z-FLIP owner would want an open case
It's mainly to be able to use navigation on a motorcycle, but also to play games from time to time, which is clearly not an easy task with a phone that fold.
Thanks a lot for your feedbacks !
I play games on mine all the time even in a Kishi controller without a non foldy case. A decent mount holding it from the center on your phone so it won't fold from wind or something would also handle the motorcycle mount I would think?
You can try to find a thin metal (or hard) plate, wafer/stack it between the case and phone. Should make it harder to bend.

That might work, but metal blocks radio frequencies.
pvc, credit card.
check this one, has the cut outs for .... even the original one has cut out to fit something harder.
For your motorcycle go to RAM website. Their phone holder has always worked perfect for me, whether fold phones or not. I used X grip.

Just to start out the Name of the case is the X-Grip Universal Bike Mount by RAM Mounts.
Here is the Amazon link where I bought it from: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EP84Q8/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Package contents Include the X grip mount, ball socket, and instruction booklet.
RAM seems to be a great company producing several mounts for serveral type of vehicles. The great thing about them is that their mounts are all
modular so if you need different type of mount sockets just go to their site and you will be able to find it.
Assembly
The instructions are clear on what to do. The only hassle as you will
read in the Amazon comments is that ball from the Xgrip is extremely
hard to get into its socket. What I ended up doing was putting the ball
part in the freezer and the socket in hot water for 10 minutes. After this
it went in smoothly. This was recommended in the comments on amazon.
Function
I decided to mount the Xgrip on my handlebars right next to my bell. It
holds on very well to the handle bar with the rubber lining creating good
friction.
On each corner of the Xgrip there are these very rubbery "fingers". When
the Nexus 4 is placed in these "fingers" hold the phone in place. It has a
very good firm grip and I haven't had a issue yet in which I've seen the
phone slip.
Criticisms
My only two concerners were the aforementioned hard assembly and during the
first week I noticed that during my rides the grip around the handlebar was loose
causing the whole thing to move forward slightly. I solved it by just always verifying
everything is nice and tight. Also an extra piece of rubber underneath the mount wouldn't
hurt.
Do you guys have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask. I'll try my best to answer.
Later this weekend I'll update the review with a video of me riding with the mount
mounted on the bike.
Here is a link to part of the ride. I look down several times and you can see how positioned the mount is. You get a shot around
the 1:10 mark. During this ride I did experience some movement on the bottom part of the mount sliding down. It still held the phone but the
mount to the handlebar slid. As one of the commenters said on this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40325788&postcount=8
you can buy better bases.

I'm looking to buy a new phone bike mount and this one looks amazing.

I'm intrigued. I've always wanted to be able to put my phone up my bike when mountainbiking. Nonetheless, I fear that I might fall during a rough trip, while breaking my phone along the way. Do you do heavy sports or just racing on flat terrain?
I have this Ram Mount in my car. While it's great at holding the phone in place, the rubber grips come in contact with the side buttons (I've used multiple phones with this mount - same problem).
I'll be replacing it, unfortunately, as a car mount. YMMV, however. Still a great mount.
Get an old android for mountain biking or even a rugged one. I use an xperia active as cycling computer. I also used commtive z71 (cheap android) and motorola defy (not so rugged phone, it died)
Looking forward to the video review. This could come in handy for the commute to work
Thanks!

I don't race and no heavy sports. I use my bike everyday to commute between home and school/work. I shared your concern but In my experience in the couple of potholes that I've encountered the mount held the phone. During my first ride with it being loosely tightened on the handlebar the mount moved forward but the actual part holding the phone worked perfectly and held the phone. Keep asking questions if you have them. The video would be uploaded this weekend after a long ride from uptown manhattan to the ferry for staten island.
I am a big fan of the XGrip from RAM. But know that the cradle is available separately with a standard 1 inch ball. Then you can buy any base and arm in the 1-inch series you want. There are far more secure handlebar bases available then what comes with the all-in-one package the OP reviewed.
Buying the separate XGrip, base, and arm will cost a few dollars more, but will be more secure and versatile. I have two bases in my truck (one on the console and one on a visor), as well as ones for a golf cart and camera tripod. Love the RAM stuff. Check out gpscity.com for good pricing and even videos on many of the RAM components.

Thanks for the Info. I just added the video to the OP and noticed that the base on the handlebar tends to lose grip and move down. I will definitely look at other 1-inch bases maybe that can be screwed around the handlebar.
Hello ,
I am looking to see if there is a car mount for the S4 Trident Kraken case .
Would you be able to make a suggestion ? Does anyone have experience with this ? I am tired of having to always fumble for the phone in the console .
Thanks !

I resell for ProClip, and I'm sure many can attest to it on here,but their adjustable cradles are top notch. They make custom dash mounts, usually with multiple locations for just about every car out there as well. I'm on my phone at the moment or I'd send you some specific links, but hop on their website, and you can easily find your options. And any questions, ask away. I can also "publicly" save you 10% on their products, but can save you a little more via a PM.

Well the one you'd most likely want is their medium adjustable. It's made with wider grooves to work better with the dual layer type cases. It specifies a device up to 0.62 inches thick. I never understood their methodology for this because the phones don't need to be fully captured in the grooves. As long as part of fits within, it's fine, and a majority of cases/phones have some sort of taper at the sides so device thickness is thinner at the outside edges. So you won't have any problems fitting your kraken'd phone in the holder.
Your only issue, if you want to call it one is the corners extend slightly beyond the sides. You could have a touch of left to right rock, but that would be doubtful because the holder is completely adjustable so you can loosen the screws, slide the phone in, press against the sides until it's snug, and tighten down. I'm sure that rubber is fairly grippy, and the ability to set the width so there's some resistance as you slide it in and out will keep it steady.
I've been doing this since I designed the first smartphone holsters for them (before Seidio said, oh ****, these things will sell, and then the rest of the injection molders hopped on board). I've sold quite a few adjustables for most cases out there including all the otterbox/lifeproof ones. Haven't had a return yet because they didn't like how their phone fit.
Your other option is to go with the cheap spring ratchet type ones where you rest it on the ledge and squeeze the sides until it's snug and press a button to release it. Then you're pretty much going with a vent or adhesive mount and most likely ProClip has a better dash mounting option for your car, though some older vehicles have limited options involving a vent area. They use crevices in the dash to lock their mounts in place. Some vehicles have better options then others. You can poke around and see the options for your car.
Hope that helps.
Up until about a week ago I was using the iBolt XPro dock with an Otterbox Commuter case. There was still a good amount of adjustability left so I'm sure it'll accommodate your case. And you get the added bonus (which the is reason I bought it in the first place) of charging and audio out from the USB cable.

Personally, with a case like that I'd be looking at a magnetic mount. I'm currently using the Bracketron Si Earth Elements mount and I absolutely love it. I've got the S-View cover on mine so I had to put a metal plate under the battery cover to get the magnet to hold, but that case may work just on it's own. Just my .02, but I'd definitely at least give a magnetic mount a try.
With that case, I'd be more worried about whether I'd get a signal.

I used the Rokform case on all my iphones, ipads etc. I notice they make a case, with magnet for the S5 but none for the Note .. BUT .. they do make an adapter that sticks to the back of your phone case that includes a powerful magnet. I bought one to use with a Lumia and I am going to see if they are still available so I can use it with my Note. (arriving monday.) Here is the adapter.

That looks really interesting. The only problem for me is that I use the S-View cover and I really like it, so having the attachment hardware protrude from the back of the phone doesn't work in my case. What I like about the Bracketron I use is that the magnet in it is strong enough to hold through the S-View cover when it's flipped around to the back. I just had to put some metal under the battery cover to give the magnet something to grip, the shape of the plates that were included didn't fit very well so I ended up just using a couple pieces of scrap steel I found at work. This way there isn't anything stuck to the outside of the phone so it looks completely normal, there's no bulge on the back and no pieces stuck on with tape or anything, and when I drop it in the mount I can leave the S-View cover flipped around to the back so it's not hanging down getting in the way or anything. The magnet holds very well through the S-View flap and the battery cover, and there's feet that flip out from the mount for the phone to rest on so the magnet really only needs to hold the phone horizontally, which works great with a phone this heavy. It ends up being pretty rock solid, I've never had the phone fall out even going over some pretty serious bumps and potholes.
In any case the Rokform does look like an interesting option if you don't use the S-View cover, if I ever decide to switch I'll have to look into it. I almost wonder if you could combine the Rokform with a Qi pad to make some kind of homebrew magnetic Qi dock... I'll have to look into that
if you have no problem with aircon vent mount, you can look for something like "spiderpodium", i bought the china knockoff one, they are great because of flexibility, i still using the same one even after changing phone or case.
I would love to see some "Real" pictures of this case.
I have supcase unicorn beetle pro, what mount should i get
I second the magnet mount. I personally use the iMagnet. It's the only magnet version I've personally tested but I did a ton of research on it and found that it had the strongest magnet and also the 'sticky base' which allows it to mount to curved or bumpy surfaces. I have it mounted to the side of my cars instrument cluster dash cover at around 2o'clock, same curve as the steering wheel. This way I don't have to take my hand off the wheel to press the screen.
I'll also chime in and give a +1 to magnetic mounts. As I mentioned earlier in this thread I personally use the Bracketron Si Earth Elements mount, I absolutely love it. Really fantastic mount, super strong magnets in it (stronger than other magnetic mounts I've tried) and it also has little adjustable feet that flip out at the bottom to help support the phone, which for a device as big (and heavy!) as the Note 4 is extremely helpful. It's proven to be a very solid setup for me, I've been using it for at least a month now and my Note 4 hasn't fallen or dropped a single time, actually it barely budges even when I've gone over some serious bumpy roads and potholes.
I'll also say that the Rokform magnetic mount that was posted earlier in this thread looks pretty interesting as well. It won't work for me because I use the S-View cover, but with any normal case it should work with no problem and it definitely looks like a very good system.
Just a few questions with regards to this case. Firstly, I dont see any speaker cut outs on the back of this case? Is the speaker volume muffled by this? Also, how is the mic quality when talking with someone on the phone? Are the two tiny holes on the bottom good enough for sound to flow through flawlessly? And finally, how is your signal strength while the phone is in this case?

Hijacking the thread... anyone know if this would inhibit the use of the note 4 edge? This case looks pretty awesome...
First words out of my mouth when I saw pictures of the case were literally "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!" as in, why would anyone smother their phone with that monstrosity. It doesn't even look nice and I'm willing to bet that it absolutely kills signal. I have the Iron Shield which only has aluminum around the sides and I have to take it off to use GPS... It's almost impossible to get a good lock with it on... I can't even imagine what this case would do to my phone.
If you have a CD slot, I suggest giving one of the Koomus CD slot mounts a try. They have various clip and magnet versions. I personally prefer CD slot mounts over air vent/windshield/dash mounts.

I use this holder: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R0MELU6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00
It is not made specifically for the Z5C. And the one major drawback for some people is that you have to put a permanent metal plate on the back of your phone. For that reason, I have added a Balolo wooden back. The metal plate is attached to the wood, allowing me to remove the plate (actually, the wood) without damage to the phone. The Mountek advertising says you can simply put the unattached metal plate between the phone and a typical case. However, with a previous phone I found that there's just enough movement of the metal to scratch the back of the phone, so I don't recommend that approach.
This is not the perfect answer, but after trying many different car phone holders I have been most satisfied with the Mountek. The magnet does a super job, even on the back country roads in Costa Rica. Mountek is planning to release an air vent version by the end of December, if the CD version doesn't work for you (or you use your CD player).
Hope this helps.

Thanx for the suggestion, but from where i'm living, spending upwards of a hundred dollars for a phone holder is unviable to me. Nice solution, just a tad pricey.

I'm using this: http://www.amazon.com/Breffo-Spiderpodium-Smartphone-Mount-Holder/dp/B003O1V5CY
I've bent the two of the arms to hook into an air vent and then bent the remaining six with 2 on the bottom and 4 on the sides. I've bent them in a way where I can mount the phone vertically and horizontally. When mounted vertically, the microUSB power cable plugs in nicely between the two legs.

Hello, I've came across this solution as well, how long have you had this product and how durable are the flexible 'legs'?
I shied away from it as I saw a couple of negative reviews stating that the 'legs' broke off just after a few uses.
Cheers!
I've had this setup for a couple years now with no issues. I don't really mess with it once it's in place. I do occasionally bend everything to make a stand so I can record time lapse recordings of my drives.

I use the Orzly bumper case which didnt quite fit. I sent him the case and the guy made a new mold for me which now fits. I think each one is made by hand by order. So if you do order, I'd email them first with what case you are using. They may offer to make one for you if you send them the case.
You can use also a original Nokia car holder cr-122 for the old Nokia N8-00. Is perfect to use for all Compact series with or without case (I'm using also with Puro 0.3 and Orzly fusion).
In my case I've customized the holder to attach to Brodit Proclip specific adapter for my car

I am (again) very happy with this brodit mount: http://www.brodit.com/product.html?id=521797&pn=prod&brand=Sony&model=Xperia Z5 Compact
Not necessary to attach the charging cable to the mounted phone is very nice. And the brodit fits perfectly (without any case).
I have been using a number of different car holders from cheap to rather expensive stuff (not just for Z5C)
and until now the best working for me is this universal
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-C...hash=item3f6716f952:m:mIwx2zz-h8VTQe568OmV9tA
It solves the problem when phone placed behind the front screen gets warm by sun and you need to charge it at the same time.
Air vent does the cooling and the problem is gone.

I love the Kenu Airframe design, and it's worked in every car I've tried too. Very compact design that sticks into air vents and grips the sides of the phone (right above the power button is ideal). Also note that there are knock off cheap versions that you can find, such as from Deal Extreme, that seem to work just as well, at least with our compact phones
I only use a cardboard attached to the air vents up the radio. haha~ I'll post a picture sometime.
Is there anybody out there who has their Z5 Compact wrapped in a full body skin (wet apply type) who also has the Proclip mount for the Z5c, and can verify that the phone fits in the mount with the skin installed?
This turned out to be a real problem for me with my Nexus 4...the Proclip mold was not made with a millimeter to spare, and the tolerances were such that it had NO tolerance for anything but a completely naked phone. Hoping I can avoid a similar problem with the Z5c.
Thanks,

If you are willing to be patient the cost of the car mounts on aliexpress are very cheap, you have very similar options that you see here on the thread.
I use this one:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00Y81PKYI/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_.90Hzb9MKDH4F
Love it! The magnet is very strong and it's easy adjustable.
I'm a mechanic and I have a few different devices that I am really hard on. I use my Kindle fire rooted and ASOP to play music and YouTube on my toolbox. I bought the Niteize mount http://www.niteize.com/product/Steelie-Car-Mount-Kit.asp for my phone. It is expensive so I needed somthing that would attach my fire to the ball mount. I used an old hard drive magnet and some double sided tape and super glue. I routed out the center of a washer and glued to to the magnet. It clicks to the mount ball and to anything metal like my tool box, the fridge microwave ECT. I have made mounts for most of my devices this way. I highly recommend this cheap and easy way to click your tablet or phone to any locker, car body or appliance.
Shouldn't be too hard to rotate the images before uploading
Anyway, nice idea.
It is a cool idea, but I have a few questions: Why would you prioritize cheap and DIY adapter for a car mount that cost almost as much as the tablet itself? And doesn't the rough metal scratch anything it touches?
And lastly, for anyone else who's looking for something similar, I would recommend something like THIS. I bought two, put one mount in each of our cars, and put the metal brackets on both our phones and both our tablets. Now for less than $15, I can put any device I want into whatever car we're using. And yes, the little magnets do hold the Kindle up pretty well, even if they're heavier than a normal cell phone.
I need the magnet on the tablet not the car adaptor because I click the tablet to tool boxes, car bodies, microwaves, metal racks ect.. The hard drive magnet was free. I have not notices any scratches. The ball mount was for my phone and yes it was expensive but so was the phone.
This is round 2. These cases are great I got three of them from Amazon for about 15 bucks a piece and seeing how rare a rootable device is I don't want to break it. I used the magnet end of a mount and glued it to the kickstand.
