Scosche makes a couple different universal holders that will work. I have the vent clip one. There's also a windshield type if you perfer. Check the GPS section at your local big box store.
I ordered the Clingo in-vent car mount just over a week ago, when it arrives I'll let you know if it works.

I agree the slipgrip mount is too expensive. I sent the seller a message to see if I could buy 2 of the mount plates with nothing attached to build custom mounts from and he 'generously' offered to knock $6 off the total. I am looking at other options. On the other hand some people just want something that works.

It's just a phrase meaning stores like Walmart, Future Shop, or what ever large electronics store is in your neighborhood. Wow I must be getting old cause I'm using phrases that people don't understand. Walmart has a seperate section of universal docks just for GPS devices that aren't with the other phone docks. Here is Scosche's website link though.

i would go with the brodit holders. i have had them for my last 4 phones and they are great . The fit is great, however they arn't as cheap as some... but you do pay for what you get.
a good company to get them from is dsl developments. mine should be here in a min so i will post a few pics if your interested
Ordered this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-TOUCH-HD2...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL?hash=item518ed1309c
Came today with charger, holder identical with the one provided by O2 UK with Orbit 2. It's holding HD2 very nicely.

Same here. I've already got the Brodit active mount installed it's the 4th one now. It's one of the first things I buy when I get a new phone. I use a RAM suction mount instead of the vent clip option. It's so easy to use just slide the phone in and out.
Ditto. I've just fitted a Brodit active mount for my HD2. Good quality mount that holds the HD2 firmly vertically or horizontally and the power connector lines up perfectly. I never regretted buying Brodit mounts for my past two phones and this one looks to be no exception.
same as above Brodit holder every time, good quality, good fit, not cheap but with a £500 phone its well worth getting something thats not going to drop it eh?
Brodit all the way! btw, there is a active thread already on this with many posts

Why not having a look on www.brodit.com.
I already installed the active one but removed the cig-plug (whole cable) and replaced it by a USB cable. So I'm also able to listen music while charging.
Works like a charm.

Hi Joerg,
How did you do this, my car stereo has a USB input and I'm also hoping this maybe a partial workaround to the Bluetooth issue.
Is there a line out in the micro-usb-plug, too? Like in the older HTC-devices or can i only get sound over the 3.5mm-headphone-plug?
On my polaris i used a htc adapter, where i pluged in a 3.5mm-sound-cable.

The Audio line out on the HD (mini USB) was not available so I can't imagine it being reinstated for the the HD2.
That´s bad. So i allways have to plug in two cables.
it looks nice. Thanks!
However, having a look at it, it seems like it's not possible to keep the HD2 horizontally (I mean the support holding the HD2 seems to be only for vertical use). Is this correct?

Would be intresting, if someone has this carholder and can say something about ist.
Landscape holding is important for me, because i want to use the hd2 for navigation.
What about the Motorola Moto Q-Holder? Can i use my HD2 landscape with this holder?

I do a lot of business travel and I have found that the windshield mount is not working well for me and my DINC. The last rental car windshield slanted so far back it made it hard to reach my cig lighter for charge.
I need a dashboard mount but need one that is designed to be taken in/out of cars often...not fixed or where the sticky tape will wear out quickly of get stuff on the sticky when in my bag.
Any suggestions pls???
Get one with a vent clip. They work pretty well.

i use this. its really good. cheap and does not look half bad either.

Actually I find every time I bring only the vent clip I get one of those cars with stupid circle vents which never hold the clip correct. I gave up on the vent type.
This one has both to choose from.

I bought mine the day u posted this on e-bay and its the best for the Dell streak 5. arrived in the mail last week (the both of them) the original car mount from Dell is fantastic plus u can use the XM-Radio vents .pocketables.com/2011/03/xm-radio-vent-clip-mount-fits-dell-streak-car-kit-holder.htmlwhich gives u a better and closer feel to the device while you drive. Buy both from e-bay cheap. Please view link below

I've also got a car dock I'll sell if anyone wants it. I hardly use it now and I'm moving to the city next week, so I really won't be needing it now.
I don't have the car charger, just the dock.

Are there car docks that have the right attachment for the outterbox defender case?
I have a Rocketfish mount I got at Best Buy for $10 that has the same style attachment point on it as the defender case. Bracketron also makes mounts with the same type attachment. You can get a variety of 'stalks' to mount the defender on.

Does anyone know of any current or upcoming car mounts that would be good for this phone?
I currently use this one for my Note 4 and it OK at best. The phone is too heavy for it so it falls off my air vents from time to time (or swings off if I turn to fast lol).

Would rather not use this for the Note 8 as I know the glass is more fragile.

I would highly recommend any one of the osomounts from Amazon. I have owned one myself for around four years and it's so strong, it requires a good amount of force to pull of the glass, really good mount.
Will be waiting a little bit more before getting a car mount but I might use the WizGear mount

There is only one car mount anyone should ever buy, and that's the Craigsdocks mount:
http://www.craigsdocks.com/
Pay the money for it once and you'll never need to buy another! I hated the thought of universal docks until I tried this thing out. Owner is super nice, will reply to your questions with personalized videos if necessary, and this thing just works better than anything else on the market - trust me, I drive for a living, I'm in the car between 30-50K miles a year. I know what works and what doesn't!

To me, the best mount is the Pro Clip. You need two pieces, the vehicle specific mount and the phone holder. I use a large universal since I change phones a lot.
