Cheapest Wizard Car Holder Ever!

Wilkinson (a UK hardware store chain) have a generic own-brand mobile phone holder which costs 1.49 and although a very slight bit wobbly when stuck in my air vents, does the job a treat.
I had to chop off a bit of plastic at the bottom with a hacksaw to allow the charger to go in, but aside from that, it was straight in. Did a test drive and it did wobble slightly, but not enough to cause anything to happen.
Beat that for price.
Maybe I won't bother with Brodit after all... :lol:
Joe

plz post a picture!
My brodit landscape holder is gr8 for me

Yeah please post a picture of it - wanna see this "miracle-cheapo-holder" :wink:

Here you go: best I can do at night with a crap (HTC Universal) camera I'm afraid. More tomorrow in daylight if required!
And don't get me wrong - this is total ****e compared to a Brodit, I would have thought. But it's cheap, and I'm a Yorkshireman :wink:

Not having air vents (Land Rover Defender) I had to purchase one that has a sticky pad which fits beautifully on the dashboard. It cost £7 from Vodafone who appear to be the only place that actually sells them anymore.

Dreamboxer,
in germany the MediaMarkt has also such a cheap car holder - round about 5 Euros. It is very similar to this one and iam very satisfied with it. For pictures follow this link:

Do you know if will send by mail to Portugal?
Can you take daylight fotos?
Thanks

Here are some daylight photos.
I am not sure about postage, but I will be doing a 140 mile drive tomorrow and will post with my opinions of a long drive with it.
If it's good, and we can work out a way to post it and pay, then I will do this for you.

Thanks

OK - I've been to Wilko's and handed over my hard earned £1.49.
It comes with a little bracket that can be bolted/screwed in - so I think I'll
use that. Joe - where did you get your car charger - I checked Wilko's -
they didn't have any.

I got it from Ebay, I think it's one intended for a iMate Jam, but not a genuine part.
They should be available for Wizards by now I would have thought.

joebongo- This one is for £4.99 in a local phone shop, it's supposed to be a desktop universal phone holder but i put it in the windshield and it works for me-

i grabbed one of these from wilkinsons today too... looks really cheaply made, but what do you expect for less than £2 !! Im going to use the vent holder and see how that works out... to be fair, thinking about it, it actually looks better made than the one i had last year that was about £8 !
EDGE

magnetic disk
I use a magnetic disk from cpw and put the metal strip inside battery cover. used with all my phones in the past and never once have I dropped my phone, even 30mph accidentally over speed hump, which loosened my fillings. yet no drilling and looks cool on dash. Am i the only person using this?

:lol: im gonna pop down there today and buy the holder live 2mins from my local high street 8)

joebongo, i went to the shop but they said they dont sell mobile phone stuff.....? where did you get yours from because i went to a large store..not the small ones :?:

When I had a Samsung I stuck a velcro pad to the dashboard and to the back of the phone. (Furry side on the phone!) Worked brilliantly.
With the Exec I might put velcro on the bottom and on the top of the dashboard, and mount it there. Maybe above my steering column - if I write my own app with mirror writing I could fold it down in PDA mode & have a HUD :twisted:

Cool thing! Sadly I shelled out 40 EURs for the XGPS Active Holder Thingy. It should arrive tomorrow. Oh well - damn could have saved some dough

Cheaper alternative to the Brodit mount ??

Hi all,
Does something similar to the Brodit mounts exist on the market? I'd like to have something as good as the Brodit but they're so expensive.
24 euros for the Promount for my car and 29 euros for the Touch Pro passive holder . For 2 pieces of molded plastic !!!
If I can't find something else, I'll buy a generic "clamp" holder to fix to the airvents (I don't like something attached to the windshield) but it's not as practical as the Brodit.
With a lot of people buying new cars or new PDAs, I can't believe there isn't a website selling second hand Brodit mounts. Or is there one?

How about a Brodit mount at £29.00? Saw one at blueunplugged.com. I have never used them I am waiting for the postman to deliver my touch pro. But I will be giving them a go in a day or two. The feedback on them seemed ok, yes a couple of dissatified customers but lots of 9/10 and 10/10 too

hi,
i got this one:
http://www.pda-punkt.de/pda/htc/touch-pro-zubehoer/aktiv-kfz-halterung-htc-touch-pro.html
it's working perfectly. you still need a mounting part, but at least it's an active mount for the price of a passive brodit.

I also have a problem with the price for the Brodit's considering they are just a piece of molded plastic.
Has anyone tried something like the Igrip universal mounts? http://www.amazon.com/gripper-holder-gooseneck-suction-phones/dp/B000JERG36
A generic solution would be way more practical as I could use it with other devices than the TP...

Three Weeks ago i bought one of these: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=160290613605 ... shipped from hongkong for about 7 euro ... im impressed of the quality, my touch pro fits perfect in it, because its adjustable ...
the only thing, it vibrates a bit with the "flexible-arm" ... but with the "bonding foil" its just perfekt ...

Ordered my Brodit "Active" mount for £29.00. It arrived next day. With the Euro/GBP exchange rate cant think of a good reason to buy a "Walt Disney" copy!

I ordered an Igrip instead cost me an equivalent of £15 including shipping in Sweden. It's Universal so I can use it for any device and suction cup so I can use it in any vehicle. I change device more often than I change underwear and I want to be able to bring the mount with me when travelling by air/train and having a rental..
Brodits are good if you have the same device and the same car for a very long time -- but I can't simply justifty the cost for that little piece of impractical plastic...

Sometimes I just hate XDA. I keep finding things from other countries that I want. Those Brodit mounts are very neat looking. But I must tell you. I have this generic mount I got from PDair.com that has spring loaded sides that you simply push together and the pressure holds the device quite securely, at least for non offroad travel.

It was exactly one of those I got. I have been using it for a day and a half and it works great so far. The suction cup was unbelievably strong compared to the ones I've used with GPS:es in the past.

Yup! Looks exactly like that one so I guess so.
The exception is I have a compact mount not a gooseneck. I've been using mine daily now in the car and I'm still as happy with it. Excellent value for money. (I have used it with the TP and my wife with a P1i and an Xperia.)
The only issue for me is that it sometimes presses the down-volume button on the side, I solved this by simply mounting the phone 4-5 mm higher.

The Brodit clips are available in the US via (Proclip - still pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. Just ordered by Fuze holder today to replace my Cruise (Polaris) holder.

Proclipusa.com is who is the USA dealer for the Brodit line. I have one in my car and there is a reason it's expensive...because it's nearly perfect. I like how everyone devalue's "molded" plastic (not you). I'm sure no engineering or research went into making model specific mounts for just about every vehicle on the market

Well, no one is argueing with that... But the fact is that they're awfully expensive and now there seems to be good alternatives. I had never seen the use of this spring-loaded design earlier.
I also wonder why Brodit does not provide suction-cup mounts for their holders?? I really love the "phoneholder" from the Brodit, but the thing I dislike the most is the proclip-car-mount itself. I want to be able to remove the mount and move it to another car or just removing it when parking while travelling. The latest trend in Sweden is that burglars systematically smash windows on cars with GPS-mounts, just to check if the owner might have forgot the GPS in the car. So, being able to remove the mount is quite an important feature at least for me...

PDA mount holder
http://shop1.frys.com/product/5342198?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
i picked this up at Frys the other day and it works well i can add a charger to it while docked, or use the headset. it can rotate 360 degrees it also comes with the AC vent clips if the windshield mount is not legal in your state/country.

I got these together:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=174210
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=145598
EDIT: Case is terrible, you have to slide the keyboard in a plastic pouch and it doesn't work good at all. Sent the case back but I like the magnetic mount now I use it with the Noreve case.

I change phones more often than I change cars.
I use the Brodit/proclipusa car mount with a Krusell "Button mount". See Here.
When I change devices, I just get the Noreve case with belt clip and it fits my generic mount!
If you want to add tilt & swivel then you can by adding Brodit/Proclip tilt & swivel with blank face.

Finally I got a Herbert Richter mount, one part that is attached to the airvent, one that holds the Touch Pro.
The set is very small and I like the way the TP is hold into it. Want some pictures?

how about this:
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03722&dept_id=039&cat_id=1149
at USD30, is still expensive but has speaker & mic, can function as handfree. free shipping worldwide as well...

Recommended cases?

I dropped my tablet yesterday while it was inside a laptop slipcase onto concrete. Luckily, I got away with a small chip in the corner instead of full on case warping like I've been hearing. Anyway, I figure it's about time I look into a nice case with stand support. What do you guys recommend?

Well, i bought the official acer stand case. I had a rebate card so it was only 20 bucks. I may go back and get a netbook bag because it was only 10 bucks.

Don't buy the official Acer folio. I did, even after reading the crappy reviews (didn't want to wait for something else), and regret it. Crappy quality, the fit loosens so the tab tends to slide out, it covers the microphone, etc.
The list goes on and on.

rooCASE Slim-Fit (Black) Folio Case Cover with Multi Adjustable Viewing Angles for Acer Iconia Tab A500 10.1-Inch Android Tablet Wi-Fi $26.98

Just got my tpdgear leather case in today. Its great so far. All the ports are easy to access. There is no hinderance. Speakers are tucked away until you prop up the unit. When its closed, it feels like a hefty notepad. The flap is secured with an elastic bad. It feels like an executive notepad when closed tbh. In landscape mode, it has three angles. Good for typing and viewing videos. My only grip is that it extra bulk when in portrait but it can't be help with all these folio style cases.
I've uses the hard plastic version on my friend"s xoom and I like tdpgears much more. Feels better, softer and not eggshell like. I assume its better if ever dropped because its softer. Got it for 30 on eBay.

Just unboxed my rooCASE/blueREX slim.
To anyone considering the Acer case, GET THIS INSTEAD.
Looks nicer, feels nicer, and the cover actually stays closed. And cheaper.
Due to the original Acer case having a more wrap around fit (rooCASE is sort of a clip-on. See pics and you will understand), I think it might give better edge protection against drops, but if you are worried about that, get the non-slim version.

Mountain bike holder for Nexus 4

I'm searching for taught mountain bike holder for Nexus 4, but i can't find any suitable. All of them have in description, that it isn't good for this use. I need perfect grip, because I can't lose phone, when I do a bigger jump. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks for any answer. I hope, I post it in right forum.

Very interested my self.
Right now I just have a pouch on top of the frame / and seat post which is okay but would like what you are looking for.

I'm waiting for my local bike shop to get the Timbuk 2 Goody Box back in stock. They had them last summer but sold out before I could get one.
The Goody Box mounts to your top tube and your headset, and sits above the bar. It's got a large window pocket on top for your phone.

Interested in this as well. Bonus points if it can cleanly accommodate a battery pack/charger as well.
A man's gotta Ingress at optimum levels, neh?

Maybe get this case since it has a metal machined screw mount on the back. Use it with a C-Clamp from hardware store to mount?
Or email rokform and see if they plan to make a Nexus 4 case. They have a nice bike mount for their cases.

I use this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008CMWY66/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
You can use it through the case and is waterproof. I also put a battery pack behind it and use a right angled USB cable. So I can use the cycle streets app using offline maps and it lasts a good 8 hours or so with the screen on.

Wow I'm assuming you guys never fall/ land everything. Even on the street curb/ bunny hopping, I'd probably either lose the phone or crash. Haha

I had this one from ridermounth

I always go universal, personally. Because I can probably use the same mount down the road or my wife's phone can fit in it as well. The one you listed is good but also I like the iottie universal mounts as well.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/iOttie-Easy...716445?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27cf4df1dd
These have the "gel" cups rather than the plain suction cups that easily warp in the hot sun. The gel pads are really sticky like the clingo, but the suction cup can be wiped clean with a damp lint free cloth to reconstitute the adhesive gel it uses. I use two different car mounts.
One is the Kropsson Aero which fits both my N7 (naked) and N4. I since cut the cushion pads down so that I can use it with my N7 with the Seidio Active case on lol.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AER-jumiss-...040?pt=GPS_Holders_Mounts&hash=item4605c94078
And my second go to mount is mainly for my N7, the Xenomix NX2000 because even though I can use the above kropsson, the N7 does slightly obstruct my view. This Xenomix hangs off the dash a bit and keeps the N7 out of sight and I can clearly see out. Another 'good' thing is that I can use this with my N4 as well. I say "good" because you can't charge the phone while using this, the ports are covered lol.

The Aero is not meant to be placed on the windshield. In that respect look for the iottie's with the cushioned grips that can do both windshield and dash.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/iOttie-Easy...686615?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51a00ef857
This is the "one touch" mounts. Where you just press the phone back slightly will release the grips. This is similar to the Aero I have. I just don't like putting suction cups on my windshield.

Best car mount?
If you want the best, be prepared to pay for the best.

Look up the different DEVICE holder for the Nexus 4.
Look to find a mount suited for your VEHICLE.
I got the swivel mount for my accord and it came up to about $80. It's a bit on the pricier side, but these are truly the BEST mounts you will ever use, hands down.

100% agree that Proclip (US name for Brodit) are the best mounts you can get. They're pricey but worth it.
I'm actually looking to sell my Nexus 4 mount with integrated charger, so shoot me a PM if you're interested in a bit of a cheaper price (you'll still need the vehicle plate). I'm only getting rid of mine since I've started using a case for my phone instead of going naked.

Best car mount?
If you want the best, be prepared to pay for the best.

Look up the different DEVICE holder for the Nexus 4.
Look to find a mount suited for your VEHICLE.

They are nice, my issue is that if I need a mount for my car and I can simply move from car to car without worry if the proclip will fit. From my understanding proclips fit a specific car model. So not really universal when you can use it in one model of a vehicle. So I'll need to buy two of these mounts to make it work and while worthwhile in the long run, 1. Is too expensive, 2. and what if I need to buy a new/different car for whatever reason?
And can you use different cases with these mounts? I see the one that can fit "some cases" but there's a limit there. A 40 plus 30 clip for each car, makes it about $140usd to be used each car.
Those factors alone, keep "ME" from buying it.

seems like the phones, new phones new cases and accs xD but yeah they are specific as far i see. iOttie seems good pick

They have a system to swap the mount from car-to-car but you'll still need the car specific mount in each car, so if you're constantly swapping they don't really make sense.

oh i see, i dont really switch from cars" lol i will check how much and if they shipp to mexico =X

I use a ballistic case and the garmin gps holders grip it real well. There are two small cut outs in the sides of the case that aid in the grip.
They're only a few bucks on ebay or like $20 at best buy.

I'm using the Mountek mount that goes inside the CD drive. I don't use CD's anymore so it doesn't get in my way. I think it's a little pricey but totally worth it. Depending on your console it may get in the way of some of your buttons which it doesn't on my car. Also, some cars (such as my grandma's) have the CD slot lower in the console and the phone would be too low for me.
Mountek nGroove
I almost went with the Exogear Exomount 2 but I didn't think it would stick to my dashboard since it's textured and contoured a bit.

I use the mount for maps and with a OBD2 Adapter. Now I just need the Jabra Cruiser 2 to go on sale so I can have a complete setup.

yeah i was looking something like this on CD because my ibiza has too far the dashboard and it has inclined surface, seems the best its wind screen or CD, something that i want to know its "privacy" in middle of my car if a wild message appear or something i dont like people look at it. so its any way to move a little to my side?? (not talking abot 360 degrees) more like turn the holder to my side. i hope its clear this
Thanks

It doesn't slide but there is a considerable amount of tilt. You wouldn't be able to hide it from someone in the back seat but the person in the passenger seat would have to move in order to look at the screen. Again, this probably depends on how your console is set up, mine is dead center.

The phone is at a perfect height for me. For maps I don't look at the screen very often because the turn by turn directions are enough most of the time. Calls are not perfect with the speaker phone or with voice commands (I have to scream to the phone) that's why I need to buy a bluetooth speaker phone.

I have a similar setup in my Truck. I have a JVC head unit that has an external AUX port where my HTC Car Stereo stick goes to stream stuff from my N4 or N7. Use either Aero or Xenomix mount for my device, or none at all and to answer any calls, I use a Parrot Minikit Neo. This little guy goes to deep sleep and wakes up when the door opens or closes and I customized it with a greeting and signing off greeting which greets my 4 yr old when we get in the truck. She loves it lol.

The Parrot Minikit Neo looks very nice. I wish it had an FM tuner though. I know it's not the best way to stream music but it's the only way to do it on my car stereo.

The Arkon Slim-Grip Ultra looks awesome, to bad I can't buy it yet in europe, will wait a couple of weeks and hope that it pops up.
