I believe post #8 is what he's talking about

Yes that is where I got the idea.

Interesting concept. Does it move much?

No surprisingly little. I changed it a little so it squeezes the phone instead of sitting in the holder and I used small vacuum hose to protect the spots that touch the phone. Works well.

Its all on how you make it. There is no play in mine at all. I made mine so you have to slip it up under the top arms, and then rest the it on the bottom arms. then the reverse to get it out... Its very secure and never had to worry about it falling. I drive in Cleveland, so thats saying something.
. I took a fine file and filed and sharp edges made by the pliers. Then after a couple of coats with spray paint, its like I bought it from somewhere. I use no buffers and have marks on my case from my holder.
I've made a few (about 10 or so for a different phones) the key is just to take your time and make every bend as perfect as you can.

I might have to look into this. I have been slightly concerned about the fact mine is in a small case. I'm afraid the official one won't fit too well. I also wasn't actually impressed by the automatic car mode.

XxLostSoulxX, the Arkon ones look pretty nifty. Which one did you get? They have so many!

I haven't purchased one I just know they are pretty durable and a lot have recommended it I ATM can't use one I have stupid ac vents the roll so it pulls down so id have to get one that sticks with a mount.

I can't remember where I got it (not Samsung), but it's probably not too hard to find.

I have the stock mount for the Epic and love it. It does get kind of hot at times. Especially when sitting in the direct sun light but it's a perfect and snug fit:

I can't remember how much I paid for it, but I searched around and got it for pretty cheap.

I bought a universal vent mount at TJ Maxx for 8 bucks. Works great and the best part is it can rotate to either portrait or landscape.
