Galaxy Note 2 Car Mount ? W/Electronics?

[Taxmaster]

Hello all,

I know, not another car mount thread.... Well here's the scoop, like a good boy I read through every other thread I could find and it seems like there really isn't a good car mount that can hold the Galaxy Note 2, nor are there any that have charging cables or stereo out cables.

Is this true or is there a mount that can truly hold the GN2 (even with a case?) that might have charging / audio out capabilities? I just am looking for something rock solid that at least holds the darn phone in place on my dash.

I know that there are 2 mounts - one out there by Samsung (and their distributor) as well as the Iottie (link below) but both have a lot of reviews claiming that the phone really doesn't fit and isn't held in well by the mounts.

Well, for suction cradle I went for the Exogear Exomount 2.

For stand-plug cradle I went for Capdase RacerMount.

Both hold my Note2 with case snugly.

I can even find interesting friction mounts for up to 7".

i honestly love the iottie one, even with the folio flip cover from samsung. phone is held nice and snug, and the suction cup on it is none like I've ever seen. so god damn sticky that its like its 'glued' on but not. grips to any surface

I have the iottie and I think its awsome. The suction cup is amazing and will stick to pretty much anything, dash, console, wall of living room. Its impressive. Alittle 2 sticky when your trying to move it. It is also very flexable to the positoning that is available. It also will hold the device with any case or shell you can put on it. And the quick latch function is nice also... I highly recomend and like this mount

I have iOtttie as well. Yes, it's a real PITA get off the dash or windowshield. It's open enough that you have full access to all the ports. I've even recorded video with GN2 while in the dock.

Here's a crap video I shot with the GN2 in the iOttie dock:

you can see the section cup holder for the dock in the bottom right corner. The other upper left suction cup holds the satellite radio dock. Everyone wants to listen to NFL radio, LOL. Too bad I had the flash on, might have been able to see the van laying on it's side.

Does the Iottie allow for too much stress on the charging port?

Thanks buddy - I just bought the iottie - looks good n sturdy.

Another FYI - I had the Exogear mount previously, I wouldn't recommend it as the rubber pieces that "grip" your phone fall off after a couple of months .

Proclip Charging dock?

Hey guys, has anyone tried the Proclip car dock for this phone? I'm trying to figure out if it's USB 4 or 5 pin, so as to support audio and charging on one cable, I figured I just find an OTG cable to then plug into that and go from there.

Sorry about the URL workaround, seems that I need to post 10 times before being able to put an actual URL in, which is lame, so just replace the "DOT" with an actual "."

Note 2 with an Otterbox Defender. I've even used this mount with my Nexus 7. My girlfriend uses the same mount base with her GS3. Never had an issue with it falling off.

Well, a little late to this thread but I just got the ProClip unit for the Note 2 that works with the Otterbox Defender case. This is the second ProClip unit I've had. The first being for the EVO 4G. The phone fits into the holder perfectly but you might have to wiggle it around to get it to sit right.
The unit that holds the phone without a case may fit easier.

The one thing with the unit for the EVO 4G was it didn't put it into car mode. I found the unit for the Note 2 also doesn't go into car mode but I have been reading where that might be a problem with phone itself.
