Default The Last Car Mount/Dock You'll Ever Buy

So I came from a Droid 1. I loved the dev following it had/has and the neat accessories that came out for it...mostly the car mount/dock. Once I got my Droid 3 the mount was useless...which kind of annoyed me. So I set out to find a universal mount, but wasn't too hopeful after seeing the big ugly adjustable beasts that lurk on eBay. Then I came across the ExoMount by ExoGear. It's so clean looking, easy to use, and relatively cheap. Check it out!

intersting... been debating on the dock situation. maybe i'll just skip waiting for a bundle and go for this job. hmm... at least then i'd be able to use HDMI in the car.

Awesome! That is truly the first dock that has ever even appealed to me. I love how versatile it is.

Can you report on how well the mount sticks to the car dashboard. I have read some reviews on their web site and some say it works and some say not.

Thanks.

thinking about picking up a couple. they can be had on Amazon for $18. my dash has a textured finish, so i'm interested in seeing if it will stick myself. even if it doesn't, i'll settle for the windshield. i'm just sick of spending $30 for a proprietary piece of plastic.

Seems that due to the shape of the keyboard bezel, it will be very hard for the dpad to have a decent grip. Hope they can get it to work.

Well the main issue with this mount is that you cannot open the keyboard to type. I use the keyboard open when the phone is mounted with my dock.

Does the mount stick to the dashboard. I have the D 3 car mount and would use the base with it to mount into the car. Just concerned that the mount will not stick to the dashboard.

Thanks.

From what I've seen, the d3 dock doesn't let you use the keyboard either

I actually use a d2 right now, with,my old d1 dock that I modified. I don't ue the touch screen for typing really, just the hardware ones. I'm upgrading to the d3 this month so that's why I'm browsing these forums.

And I use the mount to my windshield not the dash.
