[elijahblake]

Any suggestions? I don't want to have to take my phone out of the case to dock it

Anyone had any experience with the kensington k39217us?

Amazon has it for 15.99

No experience with that mount, but some research to share:

That Kensington you listed opens to 2.75" max, which is right at the width of the Otterbox case. The height is listed at 4.1", so the Fascinate should stick off the top a little. IMO, that is a plus if it means the camera can still see out. I'm looking for one to dual-purpose to film video as I drive. My main concern with this one would be how stable it is, since the flexible adjustment will hurt that.

Most universals just don't seem to open wide enough. Another wide jaw option are these:
http://www.arkon.com/Smartphone_Holder.php. But I don't think the camera will be able to see over the high back.

Based on dimensions, I think the clip that came with the Garmin Nuvi 200 series might work. If it does, this opens up a ton of options. Anybody have a Garmin Nuvi 200 Series?

Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and ordered the one I mentioned. I'll post and let you know how it works after I get it

Well, I've been using this car adapter for a few days now. It seems to work pretty decent. I've only used the vent mount. It doesn't cover up the camera or buttons so that's cool. I just wish the samsung car charger was a bit longer. I may try and stretch it out to give me more reach.

You still liking the case?

I think I'm gonna get one, mainly for use with Torque (I love this app!). I like the Instant MPG gauge to help me squeeze the most out of my 5.4L F-150..

I have the Arkon and the camera is not exposed.

I have the Garmin Nuvi 200 but I don't have a case on my phone so can't say for sure if it would work. It looks like it might be a smidgen too big (the clip).

How is the vent mount working out for you? Possible to post a pick of it mounted?

 

[elijahblake]

It works fine, it's never fallen. Keeps the phone secure and is very accessible. I'll try to get a pic of my phone mounted in it. My point and shoot died, so i only have my gf's phone which prob. won't be the best pic, but we'll see..

When I had my iPhone 4, I had the Otter commuter case. I tried several mounts before I found this one. Very Sturdy! The one you bought, I already tried it.... complete crap I am sorry......

GPS Mounts, seem to be more thicker and better made... per say

Give this one a whirl:

I just got the Kensington in the mail. I haven't driven around yet, but the quality seems very good. I'll find out how good it really works today on the way to work.
