Default Looking For a Car Mount?

I bought this car mount for the original SGSII and, after trading in, was pleasantly surprised to find out that it works with the Skyrocket as well.

Check it out here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320764561950...84.m1497.l2649

Note that while it does provide charging for the phone, it does not support audio out through the USB port.
Since I use Bluetooth for audio, this is not a problem for me and as such I am very happy with it so far.

My only issue with it is that it can be a little difficult to remove the phone from it due to the snug fit of the USB connector.

The reason I originally bought this over the dedicated Samsung mount is that I did not want to be stuck with a mount that wouldn't work with a phone having a case installed on it...this one does.
Also, as I stated earlier, it works with more than just one phone model...a definite plus!

In fact, this would probably work with any phone having its USB port on the bottom center, as long as the orientation of the port matches.

Infuse Samsung OEM mount works also. It's a tiny bit loose, but this is actually good because it was too tight (IMO) with the Infuse.
And it's $20 shipped.

That's a good option as long as you're not using a case on your phone.

I should have read your post closer. I didn't notice you mentioned you can use a case with that dock. Good stuff.
I just checked youtube but couldn't find anything on it. If you have spare time, could you take a vid of how you put the phone in the dock and connect it?

Been using this one for the past few phones. Fits everything and works very well

Those look like great options but my goal was to have something that would provide power to the device (for a cleaner look without disconnected cables dangling) as well be able to accommodate a case if I choose to use one. The one I reference in the OP does exactly that.

If/When I get a SEIDIO (AKA Best Buy Platinum case) .... I'm thinking about one of these vehicle docks - SlipGrip CarMounts. I like the theory behind this one because you can leave the case ON.

I had an OEM Samsung car dock for my Captivate and it was great. Nice and snug, rock solid mount, no wiggle, etc etc... But - you had to take any case off to put the phone in it.

A Proclip USA SkyRocket holder is in the make. It almost worked in the Infuse and Galaxy II holders (T-Mobile/Sprint). The have to make some adjustments to have it custom for the SkyRocket.

Email Proclip to get yourself added to the list. They will email you when they have them. But they have many holders to make, just be patience. The will come through.

While those look like a good product, I have three vehicles that I drive on a semi-regular basis. I just cant justify having to purchase a mount for each vehicle instead of having a windshield mount that can go from car to car.
