Hi,
I had a good idea for a XDA holder!
I used a spare belt clip and flat black mounting bracket.
See Carclip.jpg
I just clip my XDA onto the clip, attach the GPS/Car charger, connect it to the car radio via a stereo tape adaptor and you are ready to go!!!
See Carkit.jpg
The only thing is, the XDA leans with you as you take the corners, while you driving.
Cheap setup, but it does the job for now. :lol:

I finally did it. I canged the default Ameo case and made it perfect. Somewhere i the forum I saw somebody make a mount for the car. I did not like that very much. To much hassle. So I wanted a mount with which the case could still be on my Ameo. The Ameo ad the case would be place on the mount and a power cable would complete it.
What do you need!
1) Buy a Brodit Pro Clip for your car so you won't damage your car.
2) Buy a HR Richter Swivel mount. This makes it possible to turn the pda towards yur face. Mount it on the ProClip.
3) Buy a HR Richter Magnet Mount. Connect this on the swivel mount.
Now you have a magnetic mount that looks like te picture with name magnet.jpg.
4) Buy a mini usb cable. I bought a Veripart Car Charger mini-USB.
5) Now comes the tricky part. Cut te leather and the top plastic layer from the inside of the case (the pda is infront of it so you won't see it).
6) Put some textile tape at te borders of the thin metal plate and put some construction kit on it. Choose a glue that will glue metal to plastic.
7) Slide the metal plate inside the opening with the facing to you. Slide it to the bottom part and now slide it infront of the hard plastic at the front.
8) Close the opening you made needly with some glue. (use a simple universal glue)
9) Now put some pressure on the case so the metal will be glued to te case. After 24 hours it will be finished.
The result is picture case.jpg which shows the metal plate behind te leather.
The Ameo in my car is shown on picture pda.jpg
Now I have seen a better case. The Pielframe X7500 case.

This case is the best so far, and yes it has a window so you can use the phone plugin finally. I have contacted Pielframe with a request to add a metal plate in it on request. We will see what the say.
Belt clip?
Hi.
It seems to have no belt clip. Possibly we could ask to have it as an option.

hahahahahahha. I would love to see that. An Athena attached to someones hip. Personally I thought that the Universal was too big to put on your hip, but I guess everyone has their preference.l
I would love a belt clip for the PielFrama case. I hope they do provide it as an option.
The phone would look great hanging on my Armani (LOL) pants. ;-)

At the rate of increasing obesity around the world I wouldn't be suprised if the hip sizes catch up with the PDA sizes very soon.
I have searched every section on the site for some sort of review for these cases, but have turned up nothing.
Anyone have a review/pictures/feedback about this case/holster for the Tytn II? I'm just worried about, since it is a universal case, how snugly it will fit.
I like that it is a holster that can be put in a pocket if needed, but also can have a belt clip attached to it for carrying on pants.
Thanks in advance.
I have this case - very nice except for the clip - the belt clip is cheap plastik and does not hold tightly to my belt - at least once a day it fals off when I sit down etc which drives me crazy. Too bad since it is otherwise very nice
i'm looking for a carmount that doesn't involve a suction cup.I'm really looking for something that can be clipable to the air vent and be able to handle weight since i primarily use an extended battery
Update. I found this instead http://www.proclipusa.com/?sectionp...tegoryid=&p_year=&p_countryid=0&p_leftorright=
I got one aradio shack for $15 that works great. Clips into vent and adjust in size to grip from sides. Charger still fits while in cradle too. Kevin
The one I use is a $9 one from wal-mart. it clips to the air vent & has adjustable sides w/ a space on the bottom for chargers.
Do you like the one from walmart?
Pro Clip is where its at
I bought this set, Everything works great especially for the price.
My first plastic case had the issue of one corner not fitting right, so i contacted them, and they sent out a new one the next day. Fit perfectly.
But it has the car cradle, and a very nice leather holster that holds the phone snug.
amazon has a ginormous variety of all types of holders. i got one a few weeks ago that comes with windshield mount and is also interchangeable to the air vent. also some that are actually custom to the phone for a little more $ with a charger port built in.
I'm shopping for a new car mount. I want something with a suction cup that sticks to the windshield or dash - not looking for a vent or cup mount.
I've been looking around at several models, but most of them seem to fit poorly for a Fuze - sides covering volume/PTT buttons & back covering the rear speaker.
I use my Fuze as a GPS device in landscape mode. I'd like a holder that doesn't cover any hardware buttons or the rear speaker. I also use a case once in awhile but not always - so the width should be adjustable.
I have the suction cup mounted type and did not like it.. they seem to wobble/vibrate more than the vent mount ones.. also car theifs will break into you car if they see thesuction mount thing on your dash, as they assume whatever goes on it is still in the car... jsut a warning.. you locat people to not use that type in the Milwaukee area... if you do decide to get the vent mount... Target sells one at the stores for $15 that works well... quick release button and all that... decent quality too (not cheap feeling like some are)
Thank you for your response, you bring up some important things to consider.
I have tried vent clips, but in my vehicle the weight of the phone causes the screen to point downwards.
My wife bought me a universal holder, which the vendor said is compatible with the Fuze. It mounts to the windshield, has a long gooseneck and the holder barely fits the fuze w/o a case. It blocks the rear speaker and the sides cover the volume/PTT buttons.
One nice thing it came with was a disc the size of the suction cup, with some very thick sticky tape on the bottom. While the disc isn't really pretty, it allows me to mount on the dash or even the console - avoiding the conspicuous windshield attention grabber.
I would just like a good, adjustable holder that doesn't cover buttons or the rear speaker.

You buy the clip in two parts: vehicle mount and device holder.
I have one and because it fits so well, I never used the double-sided tape that comes with it. Whenever I change devices, I purchase a new device holder.
These are far more secure than a suction cup and all the years I've used these, they never fell off.
I don't have a need for it, but they also have an extension mount so you can mount 2 devices. Really great concept if you have the need.
Although these may cost a little more, they are definitely worth the price.

Seconded! I've used the Brodit Proclip for over a year now and had no issues at all.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks, you guys made me take a second look at this vendor.
Would you guys trust the holder to hold the phone if it was mounted for landscape viewing?

Yes, no problem.
I want to make a thin plexiglass stand/holder that will mount over my stock stereo so that I can slide my N7 into. I'll be connecting via BT for everything and when needed I'll just plug power into the car outlet. What I need help with is....well everything. I have never molded plexiglass or even where to get it. Any ideas on a cheap heat gun and where I can get the plexiglass? Or better yet pointers on forming it? I'm winging it at this point.

For a cheap heat gun try Ebay and for the plexiglass a good place to get it is home depot they got multiple sizes and thicknesses. Bending plexiglass is pretty straightfoward just heat on the lowest setting while putting it on an metal table or bench and pressing lightly on it util desired angle. Dont forget to wear gloves and good luck
