Scosche car dock - Galaxy Tab Accessories

Has anyone had a look at one of the Scosche car docks? I don't see how it holds the device in place, if it works then it looks like a nice compact little unit.

Super-E-Trader does a generic car dock but it's a huge ungainly thing. Something more suited for the Samsung that isn't gonna be half the size of my little Mirage hatchback would be nice.

I just have a hard time believing that blue material is "sticky" enough to prohibit my tab from flying off there should I need to accelerate suddenly.

It's REALLY tacky. You can lift a bowling ball with that mount. Really.
Downside, that stuff is a grit magnet as well.

clingo makes products with same sticky stuff, i have couple of their products , it does get dirty and losses its "stickyness" but all you do is wash it with tap water and its back to the original sticky strength.

** tested the grip strength on the back of a sprint tab seems to work very well.
The mount shown has two adhesive pads so it should be fine

Would it destroy my nice leather Zenus if I tried mounting it?
Is it like the stuff those little gecko-tongue kids toys are made out of?

I know that Leather is a no no for clingo and assume this stuff

I think the scoche would work great. Overkill really. I bought this tiny mount and it works great for the galaxy tab. My got it with an employee discount is the only reason I chanced it. That stick'em on it is surprisingly strong.

I have the Scoche mount and it works great. The suction cup is made from the same sticky stuff and really holds itself and my Tab in place.
There is a warning included that it may discolor certain materials, so it is recommended to use it strictly on glass or with the included dash mount piece. I have mine mounted to the dash using the included piece (which uses 3m tape) and it's solid as a rock. Was kinda worried about it discoloring my tab, and the Zaggskin that I eventually added, but no problem with either one so far. Holds the tab really well.
I used one of those ratchet clamp style window mounts for an old PDA that I had and hated how it gripped the PDA. It would also lose suction on the glass and fall off, especially during hot days during the summer, and really cold days in the winter. The Scoche mount stays put and holds the tab much more securely than that old clamp mount did with the PDA.

Is this the same as the one your using? Is there enough of the sticky material to hold it tight?

Thats almost exactly like mine. And it sticks perfectly. I was a skeptic, but no longer. honestly it could hold the tab upside down if needed.

dugg67, where'd you buy your scosche mount? can't seem to find it anywhere except the scosche site.

Bought mine at Walmart.

OMG! The sticky stuff melted in my hot car and dripped down on my stereo buttons clogging them! I live in SoCal so it's not that hot! If you live in the US South West, don't buy this item. If you live in Alaska or Siberia, you'll have no problem with the sticky material melting and dripping.

i just bought one very similar to this at walmart for $20. i have the gs3 and i took of the side clips of the mount and i have the body glove tatic case which is a candy/gel caze and it sticks right to it. its ridiculous how secure it is and i highly recommend it. it is a very well made and designed piece. looks super clean also. the model of the one i have is:
IPH3GRR
though i cant find it online anywhere, only the IPH3GR which is different? the one i have is just like the one in the original post although the flex shaft is longer, about twice that judging from the pics. my kit from walmart consisted of this: http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/2097 with the exception that it also included the window mount.

Vent mount on budget ?

I'm looking for VENT (!!!) car mount for T-Mobile HD2. It has to be:
- swivel
- not PERMANENTLY attached, glued, etc
- low profile
- cheap (China/HK on eBay are fine)
- preferably allow me to use HD2 with low profile hard shell on it
- fits T-Mobile
I'm NOT looking for:
- suction mounts of any kind
- big ugly mounts with sticking out jaws ... they are scary
- fitted vent mounts for HD2 and not T-Mobile version
I know about Brodit/Richet ... but come on, they cost a fortune - cheap knock off is fine. For me
Would love a vent mount for the TMobile HD2 so I can mount it in my 2007 Silverado! I'll keep searching, and you keep us posted if you find anything!
I found one at Target - I cannot remember the brand, but it was advertised for the iPhone, wiht adjustable padded arms... $20
I bought this scoche mount have had it a week, and fully happy with it. Arms are adjustable to be taller if needed and it swivels. cost 19.99 @ frys electronics, or 24.99 with vent and windsheild mount. There is also a 9.99 model with no swivel. Hope this helps. http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/364/sfID3/344/productID/1594
I'm looking for something like this. There are items for HTC HD2, but not for T-Mobile version

Sorry...I do not think you are going to find one specifically made to fit the TmoUS version unless you go with proclip (but its a permenant mount)
I ended up settling on this and it works pretty well...I too was worried that with the phone as thin as it is that the "jaws" would be huge...but its really not that bad at all. The holder is steady and does not wobble like the flexable goosneck style ones. It comes with both the windsheild mount and a vent mount...so you can use it either way.
I guess it works better because I can use it for my HD2, iphone, or Nexus One without having to do anything to it.

Buy some Kydex. You can use the same templet to lay it out. Heat the Kydex with a heat gun and mold it to the phone.
Go to knifekits dot com. they have the cheapest prices, and ship fast.
I have to recommend ProClip as well for this, even though it is the more expensive route. I'm sure you know the saying "You get what you pay for".
I've been using this company's holders for my past three devices. As I upgrade my device all that is needed is the specific holder for each new device, I already purchased the swivel and the mount. It is by far the best device holder I've used and I've gone through my fair share before finally doing it right. It is extremely solid and are made specifically for the vehicle you drive. I also purchased the desktop cradle. So from leaving my car I slide it out of the holder in my vehicle then slide it in to the cradle on my desk, very convenient.

Thanks for the pics. No doubt this is good quality, sure fit and all. But car mount + swivel holder + shipping is approx. $75 for my setup which I find kinda expensive for just VENT mount
i sanded the metal with some sand paper and its pretty smooth on the edges i made another one for a friend for his car same phone and he has his vertical and i am keep mine horizontal

Sorry I havent tried...
brackets
check www.bracketron.com. I have a universal usb power dock for my HD2 and love it. They have all kinds of different products that can fit any phone. The one I have plugs into the cig lighter adapter, has a usb plug for the phone + another universal lighter port on it. Full flex & pivot. Prices seem to be between $20 & $30.
Thanks. Yes, I did find bracketon during my search. The only problem is that for HD2 they have universal adapter with all those huge jaws I wanted to avoid Otherwise it will be OK. Too bad they dont have anything low profile.
They look bigger on the website, only extend about 1/2 in above the screen with the HD2 in it. I like that the 'jaws' have foam pads, so you can cramp the hell out of the phone w/ no worries of scratching, holds no matter what case or battery back you have. I had a 'sleek' one for my TP2, but it would push the invisible shield off of the sides when I put the phone in.

Car mount?

Hi,
What kind of car mount do you use? And where did you buy it?
If possible, put a photo of it
Thanks.
i'm just using a Generic car mount for PDA from DealExtreme
I bought this universal dock on eBay and LOVE it. It mounts to your CD player in your dash instead of on the top of the dash or windshield.

nice concept, but it will not work on mine, since my CD player slot is hidden
and it looks like as if that thing can pop out and fall at any time
how does it latches to the slot?
just using those 4 little wings to insert inside, i don't think those will hold.
i'll like that car mount, if they had an Air Vent clip for it
I'm thinking about getting this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-silicone-car-mount-for-all-gps-33213
Anyone have any experiences with silicone grip mat products like this one?

No it wont pop out, its 'wings' splay up and down and grip to the inside of the cd player mounting judging by the video
Arkon SM428
I bought an Arkon SM428 on Amazon.com for my Vibrant, but works just as well for the NS I just got Vibrant got smashed in car door . Dirt cheap too. Don't let the screws in the picture scare you, only necessary if you don't have a flat enough surface for the doublestick foam tape, which holds tight. Easy to rotate 90 degrees when needed.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XAEJZG
Bought it from seller "GPS Cheap"
Hope you find this useful.
I got this from best buy, I mounted it in thespace that holds all my crap near my shifter

Here's some pictures I took.
https://picasaweb.google.com/nXtIak/CDPhoneMount?feat=directlink
2004 Mazda 3i.
The bottom part is removable, have to remove it to be able to plug in a charger, since it's very very close to the bracket. Mount holds the phone fine with the sides.
I'm not sure how I'm going to use the mount. Installed up or down, been trying both.
You can only swivel the mount updown/left/right just a little bit, so I'm sure in certain cars you won't get a great view of your phone.
The mount does shake a little bit while driving. Tightening the cd slot screw does not help.
Overall, I like it.

The CD slot one is great. Really good quality, plus I like it mounted there a lot better than on top of the dash or the windshield. I have been using it for a couple months now and I still love it.
Plus it is very easy to remove to put a CD in if you want to use a CD, then you can replace the phone holder and the CD will still play fine.
If you're willing to wait, dunno when, Kidigi is planning to release some car mounts. They look nice, but expensive as usual. About the same price as the HTC car mount for the Nexus One. Just google Kidigi and visit their online store.
Wow, for a passive holder, this is amazing:

I use the Akron SM220. Worked perfect for my blackberry's and now for the NS. Plus its cheap.
Proclip
http://www.proclipusa.com/application.aspx?path=/home/home.aspx
Try this I have been using them for the last two years with the many phones I have had and all mounts are amazing. They work really well and are made for your vehicle and phone in mind, for a total of 84.95 for the entire kit.
I actually found this while wondering around BestBuy, which means Im sure you can find it for 50% less then I paid for it there. :ยบ)
Although our phone is not listed as compatible, it actually fits it like a glove, even in my thin case.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/windowseat-aux#
Im not a fan of the extension arm, it feels as cheap as it looks. The dash mount works perfectly for me in my Subaru.
Best part of all is that not of the plugs or camera are blocked.

without a case, will this fit also? meaning will it be too loose without case?

from this video, it looks like it barely fits an iphone4 with the case fully extended... our nexus s is larger than iphone4...

Dell Streak Stand

No cables were harmed in the making of this stand!
A mobile phone display stand, the back circular plastic was originally bent inwards to hold a phone in the vertical position.

The plastic was first heated and bent back flat and a hole was made to accommodate the PDMI connector.
Attached cable and glued into place.
PDMI connector flush with the stand.

Switched on. shown in various views.
Nice stand.
it was a display stand was from a phone store, had to pester them for it. its worth asking in any stores near you.
here is my "Crap-Stand"... (made from crap I found in my desk)
I took 2 large binder clips and 3 rubber 'things' that I found in a drawer and once pieced together it made a great little stand
As soon as I can find a knife I'll open the lip of the middle rubber thingy so the cable can be attached while in the stand

P.S. Sam,
a lil of matte paper wrap could make the look very classy too! (just a thought..)

How do you like this holder and belt clip combo?
WOW there's some nice stands in here, my slacker G2 dock still holds up and uses the usb mini cable to charge but I guess these are all good second options to consider.
I'm also considering the g2, do you currently have a case/silicone on your streak...if so, does it fit well or does it have to be removed?

i have begun to love this very much...
I had tried few others and dint like this.
THis one i am kind of having it on all the time.
Also when i use it on my belt it stays put together and not buldging out too much...
The downside i noticed is that putting it back on to the clip after i remove it from the clip attached to the belt is diffcult at times..
I also have an attachment for the holder from addon for my car
just got the g2 dock. i like it but i just hate having to take out my otterbox case to make it fit.

Here are some pics of the G2 Dock being used with the Streak. I had to remove the plastic around the connector on the top cover of the dock to get it to work with the TPU case. This is not enough clearance for the Otterbox case to work. Here's a video showing how to dissemble the G2 dock.
The Router stand is a nice idea!
There is a business opportunity here people!
Modded-Stands with a _out_ for HDMI and Nice Wood or Matte finish!
Can be aptly priced..
<As it is, most of us do have the HDMI cable already by now..>
And we have at least a hundred folks here who can use a really well priced stand/dock for our Streak_Machines !!
care,
Sony.
thought I should share my other cool stand..I got this from Target for 2 AUD. Its a business card holder. Does the job well, always have it on my night stand. The other one is the DLink Router Stand.

[Found] A nook color car mount that works!

So wanted to find a car mount that would work with my nook color now that I have navigation thanks to all the great devs!
Searched amazon for mounts that would work with the galaxy tab and a few other products and found an arkon mount (amazon link)
It is pretty sturdy, holds to the windshield really tight. I have had arkon mounts in the past for things such as my palm and they have great customer service and a good product.
It comes with 6 of the little feet that hold to the edges of the nook. Using all 4 "short" ones, the nook fits but its quite tight and the spring loaded size mechanism is at the total end. Arkon includes two extra feet that have a little bit of an extension on them and these are the ones I used as it is now easier to get the nook out of the mount.
Here are a few pictures of it in my car. Haha yes, I am aiming at my house....

Thank you! I have been looking for a mount for an android-powered device for forever (nobody really makes a great one for my incredible). Bought and shipped this morning!
on a side note, does your gps speech cut off the last half second (usually truncating words like "street" at the end)?
Cool, thanks for sharing that info. =)

How do you even see to drive LOL... Kinda big to be blocking the middle of the windshield. =)
Thanks for this!! Great find. It's being shipped as we speak. Arkon is quality stuff, I have a few of their foldable e-reader stands and have had mounts for phones in the past. Still goin strong!
Personally I'm less thrilled with Arkon, specifically their customer service. I tried to get a replacement part for one of their mounts. Was promised a replacement would be shipped twice. Nothing ever received. Moved on to a ProClip and haven't looked back.

I was just thinking the same thing, talk about disrupting your vision!
I wonder if you could match it with one of the sticky pads like on the other car mounts and use it on the center console...
*Edit* Looks like it comes with a disc for sticking it to another surface. I'd be curious if it could hold the weight very well....
It does come with that flat piece of plastic so you can mount it elsewhere.

Those sticky pads are not going to hold this much weight for very long. The heat of the summer will slide the glue right off. Had this happen on my Garmin and its alot smaller! I thinking about a flex tripod, modified into a cupholder mount.
I've almost lost a Garmin GPS out the passenger window on a turn one time when the windshield suction cup failed. It went flying across the dash and barely stayed in the car. Be careful...

Ditto. I've had a Garmin and one other suction cup both let go at inopportune times. The was holding a small GPS or phone. I can't imagine it working well with something the size of a NC. But as long as it works for you.

iOttie Car dock, not bad for $20

Got myself a cheap temporary dock for my Note 2 until I get the ProClip one in a month or two (waiting till after xmas). Found this one on Amazon for a nice $20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FH716W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I like it so far. Very stable and has a good range of motion to it. No vibrations at all, (does start shaking a little bit when doing 150).
Also works nicely to hold it as a dash camera.
Also holds my phone with no problem with the Body Glove case on it.
Oh and that white square isn't part of it. Thats one of my NFC tags to start Waze and CoPilot whenever I put it in the dock.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them as best I can.
Anyway, here's some pictures:

This dock is technically one of those "universal ones", but it works well because of the spring loaded lock.
When you press the phone in, it hits this little button and snaps the side grips closed on your phone.
Then once they are closed, to release, just press these two and it unlocks the phone.
And nice thing is, because of how you have to release it, the phone will fall into your palm and you can just grab and go.
thanks for posting this, looks like a nice mount, the only thing i wish it had was a built in microusb cable to automatically start charging without me having to connect it lol
+1 for STi
/highfive
The nice thing is that it will grab textured dash just as well. Mine has been on my dash for over a week and it is not losing it's grip.
Do the holders at the bottom block the mic?
Thanks for the pics and the review, I've been looking for a cheap dock. The phone falls out of the cubby holes in my car's dash. lol
can you show a picture with the arms at their WIDEST with the phone in it ? IE how much "wider" can it go? (my cases add a lot of bulk to the phone)
I don't know why you guys buy car dock for. Its big and ugly. Its always in the way. It looks like a cawk sticking out from the windshield. Its best to get a 1 inch rubberband and 3 dollar case and modify it. I had it done on my sg2. I'm waiting on my case and will post pictures later.
because in order to use the phone case as a dock you need to use the phone SANS CASE and that is not acceptable to me
as for why a dock? thats easy. fumbling with the phone while driving is a good way to die and possibly kill others ie don't do it.
dock makes it convenient. Slip Grip made a case for the impact case I use for the S3 hopefully they will make an impact case for the Note II and hopefully slip grip will make a grip for the Note II in the impact case
Newegg has this one on Black Friday special for $10 with coupon code BLKFRIDAY27. I wish I live in the States
Sorry, the $10 with coupon is for the iPhone model, the one for Note 2 is $25 and am not sure if the coupon code applies.

If you'd used the official s2 dock you wouldn't be asking that question! Awesome piece of hardware with fantastic integrated charger and audio out.

Your bulky case couldn't possibly be bigger than this behemoth:
There is still a couple of mm on each side so it wil accomodate even an otterbox defender is my guess.
actually that's what I call a slim case the cases I use feom case ology are quite a bit thicker in both thickness and width
Though this jelly tank korean case I got today is pretty impressive

Hey does this have an AMPS pattern mount? I have a Brodit base and I'm looking for a holder that can grab an iphone as well as a note.
Any stores sell this car dock?
