Default Proclip USA Mounts?

Update:

They are now available for purchase



I had one of these for my Garmin GPS (they are great but a bit pricey).

I checked today to see if they had any Thunderbolt specific cases but there is no Thunderbolt listed. Would the EVO 4G holder fit our phone? Would the phone have to be "naked" sans case you think?

I have been using the "universal" one for my last 5-6 phones or so. It is fully adjustable for fitting a naked iPhone to a Thunderbolt with a case. The only issue I have with this one is that because of where the charger port is located, you can't charge and dock at the same time (unless you turn it sideways or upside down - sideways isn't bad for GPS though). Now this doesn't bother me because I have the extended battery, but I can see this as an issue for someone who likes to charge and drive.

Thanks for the information. Yes, I was hoping to "charge" and drive because, as well all well know, the battery life is horrendous.

Hopefully they come out with a T-Bolt Specific Holder then soon.... I really like their mounting system(s)

The Adjustable EVO Holder might work. Not positive though. You would still have a charging issue with that phone holder. Their support/sales staff is normally pretty quick about replying to emails. I would just ask them about Thunderbolt product plans.

I'm using a ProClip vehicle mount, but I am using another brand device holder. I am using a Bracketron Universal Holder. The sides adjust up and down, so I can still access the charging port and volume keys. The universal holders aren't the prettiest, but it gets the job done. If ProClip releases a holder that works with the TB with a case, I might consider it. It is nice having a holder that fits more than one phone/device though.

Here is a couple pictures of my setup. I just snapped the last two pictures. Didn't realize they were so blurry.

Hi, could you tell me what material it is made of do you think you could dremel an opening for the charge port?

I took the liberty of shooting off an Email to proclip usa customer support and this is the reply I got concerning a mount for our beloved T-Bolt:

Hi Mike,


Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders for the Thunderbolt. The new holders will be available early the week of April 25. You will be notified by email as soon as we have them in stock.

We also purchased an extended battery to see if we can accommodate this as well.

Best Regards,

As will I. I have been a consumer of the ProClips USA mounts dating back to my old AT&T Tilt, and most recently my 1st generation Motorola Droid. I had contacted them on the day that I had picked up my TB, and had urged them to concentrate on a mount that would accommodate the extended life battery (as a larger than average number of TB owners will be going with the larger batteries, and HTC's current automotive mount will not work with them).

This is something that I will have ordered on the day that the sku hits their web-site!
