S3 Suction car mount by Garmin!!

[ZaJules]

By pure chance I found out that my SIII with its slimline cover fitted works perfectly in my Garmin Nuvi 205 dash mount.
Secure and easy to mount, almost as if it was made for the S3.


The Garmin Part Number
Item 010-10936-00 Suction cup with bracket (Nuvi 2xx series)
Cost is around $10 - %15

Cover is a Cygnet BlackFrost Matte slim case (around $20)

I love finding a really good cost effective solution for my toys!!

Video Clip. Please excuse poor sound quality, had to dig out my old Olympus compact to make this,

Thanks, looking forward to the video.

good to know since Garmin has quality mounts.

Does it actually clip in? Is it firm?
If you remove the case, hows the fit?

 

[ZaJules]

Fits snugly, clips into the mount as if it was made for it,
Doesn't work without the cover though, phone is just to small,
Would be possible rather easily I might add to put some shrink tubing on the arms of the mount and build it up a little to hold the phone naked!

I wonder if it would fit with a tpu case. Your case seems pretty slim

Thanks for the find. Do you think it would be able to fit the S3 with an Otterbox Commuter case on? My phone's approximately 7.7mm wide with the case on.

Cheers

Might fit but it would be tight, the rounded edges of the Cygnett case allows it to clip into the holder the otter box might be to square

You should get a replacement one...They are super cheap on eBay. I have one that is over 7 years old (*back when standalone GPS units were +$300!) and it still works great.

I fix that with alcohol. But then I fix everything with alcohol.

universal mount

I got this car mount from amazon.com

Search for Kropsson Aero universal mount.

the design of the mount was a great plus.

Feature wise, defiantly recommend.

I can confirm this mount works great with the rock quicksand case. Easy to put in and take out and holds rock solid. Before the case showed up I had used a couple pieces of heat shrink tubing held on with electrical tape and it worked awesome with the naked galaxy s3.

I like this style of mount because you can position the phone with it gripping the middle, top or bottom to fine tune where the screen is in relation to your windshield.

I went with this one though, instead of one of the $5 options: (replace spaces with ., I don't have enough posts to post links) www amazon com/gp/product/B0042PJ8NY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00[/url]

It's the actual oem garmin mount instead of a knockoff, and judging by the reviews the difference is the mount that holds the ball is made of metal, so it won't break. It came with one of the 3m PE Foam adhesive backed discs for mounting to the dashboard as well. Highly recommended.

I just tried it. PERFECT fit with my diztronic TPU case. Thanks OP!
