Think about that for a second... don't make it insert into the dock sideways, and it has no issues. Plus if they made it 90 degrees off, it wouldn't be blocking the power button either.

They modified a preexisting dock, not made one from scratch.

I too would like to know if there is any link to the supposedly released official Active S3 car mount holder. with usb-power and lineout

I received my virus car mount a month ago and it is perfect...POSITIVES-it has rubbery holders(so ur phone doesnt get scratched),fits with and without the case,sturdy construction and it fits all kinds of phones so it wont be unusable if u have multiple phones or maybe want to plug in a friends phone..NEGATIVES-havent found anything negative to say about it....In my opinion its perfect and am so glad i didnt go for the samsung official one,well its not out in my country and im sure it will be double the price..

Shady... I have some questions about that "Slim Grip" mount in the video.

1. How long are the arms that hold the phone? -will it work with an extended battery's bulk?

2. Have you tried the Cigarette Lighter version? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...mp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0042W6PFG

-This looks VERY promising with some modifications ;)

3. How sturdy is the phone in those arms?

TIA!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shady Gambino:
1. The kit comes with 2 xtra long arms. It fits the Note; no problem fitting the GS3.

2. I've tried the Micro usb lighter socket version in a few different cars with interesting results. One car I tried, the fit was loose; I believe the contacts didn't match up right. In my girlfriend's car and my old car it fit fine.

3. The holder itself fits the GS3 fine. It's a pretty firm grip, but not too firm that you can't mount and remove one handed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
how long are the arms though? would it fit 2 S3's on top of eachother? -heard the extended battery basically doubles the phone

does the cig lighter version hold fairly secure? any movement or anything when hitting a bump/pothole?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shady Gambino:
Here ya go:

Like I said, it depends on the car. If you can it in there good, it's pretty solid, in my experience.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
AWESOM PICS! THANKS!

As far as it being secure, I mean the arms themselves at the bends, not the socket. -sorry, I should have explained that

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dhjean:
Proclip

I’ve been following this thread since pre-ordering my Verizon S3. I just received my ProClip dock, and here are my thoughts.

Pros:

In my car, the ProClip mounts between the top edge of a vent and a seam in the top of the dash. This places it right next to the instrument panel without completely blocking the vent.

The mount holds securely, even in the Summer heat when suction cups can fall off.

The phone fits snugly but can slide in and out with one hand in one motion.

It’s powered.

Cons:

It does block the vent a little bit.

It’s expensive

The lighter plug doesn’t have (and could easily have) a USB port to plug in another charger. As it is, it takes up an outlet. I have two in my dash, fortunately, so I can plug other items in the second one.

It does not (no surprise) activate car mode.

For me, this is worth the expense, as it is the safest and most practical location for the phone in my car. We looked at getting a mount for my wife’s car, but the location for ProClip’s mount in her car is on the far side of the center stack where it would be difficult to reach or see while driving. We won’t be purchasing one for that car.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Beemer533:
The most annoying thing for me is that the mounts made specifically for the phones don't allow the use of a case... I don't really want to remove my case every time I get into my truck...

I took the Infuse mount and made a custom mount for myself that works with my case...

It isn't the most beautiful thing, but it works great! I'm thinking about making one with wireless charging next.

I started a thread a few days ago....

Anyone got a recommendation for a car mount/holder that works well with having a flip cover? Someone recommended a Brodit but I want to see what you all think before I jump into getting a fourth car holder. It does not need to have a charger built in.

The iBolt is expandable.

I'm a huge fan of SlipGrip car mounts, I've been using them for a long time and they are awesome. Each one is specifically fit for a specific case. They're easy to pop in and easy to get your phone out. Phone ports are also freely open. It comes with varying mounting options, I went with the RAM style.

I use this one:

http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/Sl...er-Using-Hard-Rubber-Case-On-HV_p_130485.html

The longer arm let's me sit it closer and lower on the dash.

Edit: I'll try and post a picture tomorrow while I'm at work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] radji:
I looked it up. Looks promising. I just am apprehensive cause it says nothing about compatibility with the flip cover. The flip cover is a pain for car mounts, but it has saved my screen from certain destruction so many times I will not go without it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mitch27:
Sorry I didn't realize it was for a flip cover. The way the slip grip works might not work for it, since it secures on the sides. Which flip cover do you have?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] radji:
The Samsung one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigun66:
check out Tetrax

go to tetrax dot com

also read the reviews on Amazon.

You have a very small metal disc that you attach to the back of your phone, tablet, GPS, etc. Then there is mounting hardware that attaches to your car dash or air vent.

It's expensive for what it is, but it's a great car mounting solution. But keep in mind that one Xway package can be used in 2 cars, and has enough metal disks to use for several phones or other devices.

No car docks with built in USB port? I have the OEM moto one for my Atrix and the back has a mini usb input.

The USB cable plugs into the case then splits into a headphonejack for Aux sound/ and a lighter charger. You can set the phone to auto enter car mode with it which if chosen will turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth disable night mode etc.

Moto one here

Is there nothing like that from samsung?

Brodit says there will be more info about a i9300 mount for their system next week. They usually have 3 variations, passive, active with plug and active for permanent install.

Can you use slim fitting cases on your phone if you have a Brodit?

For other Samsung models anyways, since the GSIII version isn't out yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] haydonxda:
Ugh. No more pogo pins, no USB, no audio... nothing.

So Samsung has just thrown in the towel and decided against delivering a decent car dock anymore?

And here I was hoping the S III would fill in the gaps on the GN's weaknesses. Guess I was wrong on some counts. The wait continues...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] painterceessie:
I also own a htc one x,and the S3 fits nice with a slim case in the brodit holder of the htc.

do you have the Brodit holder with the build in charge function for the nexus?

i have also both the S3 and the nexus, but i have noticed that the S3 is wider. can you confirm that the S3 fits properly in the Brodit holder with charge function of the nexus?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] painterceessie:
I have not the charge function.

All I did was making the side a little,very little wider.

Just on a table and push the sides,and yes he fits now properly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bobidigital:
looking at the Samsung mobile webiste it seems they haven't release a car mount yet as it isn't listed in the accessories section for the S3

In-Car S3 Mount
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cryptkeeper12:
Looks ok. But I'd rather have something simlar to my OG Epic 4G Dock with the built in charger.

But seeing as how the Official Samsung dock doesn't seem to do this I'll probably be getting a Brodit dock when I get my Sprint GSIII. Can't post the link but it's on the main page of the Brodit site.

Does anyone know if the US variants have the same dimensions as the International version? :)

Just got it. Its aight. Says it fits up to 4.5 inches but the S3 does fit. Also with a thin case on, though a little tight.. but the way the dock is designed- is to be a tight fit anyway no matter what size! So.. it works, nice enough that its not too bulky and looks good. Suction mount seems solid - lol but they always do until your driving down the road and they let go :p

[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Doing a bit of research on this, as I'd like to get the dock ordered up before the phone arrives stateside later this month.... Here's what I found for us in America who want a REAL dock, not some silly universal dock (I stopped myself from really saying what I think about those universal docks, you're welcome)

the ECS-K200BEGSTD dock is listed on THIS site posted earlier to have "a microUSB connection on the bottom to which you can connect a car charger (supplied) to ensure your device remains powered when on the move." Unfortunately, when you search for that part number, you come up with these images (again, posted earlier):

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s3-vehicle-dock-ecs-k200begstd-p35105.htm

And it states very clearly that "Additionally, a USB car charger is included which will also keep your battery topped up whilst you're driving, excellent for commutes and long car journeys." So no attached Micro USB connection on the bottom as they said it did....

The other OEM Samsung dock part number I found is this one - ECS-K200BEG - which looks like the same damn thing on the Expansys USA website. Saying again, "includes a suction holder, dashpad and in-car charger," but not coming with an included Micro USB connection on the bottom! Amazon has it listed here (posted already as well)

I've bought from ProClip before, and while they're good holders, as fast as I go through phones, I'm not about to drop $80+ on ANOTHER car mount! I bought the one for my Skyrocket online for $40 shipped, and that's about where it should be these days.

I'm sure Sammy will release one with the connection, maybe even have it ready to go for the big launch, but it better have Audio OUT included AND be priced around $40, they're going to make a killing on all these accessory sales, why do they need to sell it for any more than that? Hell, I'd even lose the audio out portion for wireless charging this is supposed to have and run Bluetooth audio out like I do right now with the SGSII charger I found and then modified to work for my Skyrocket that has an audio out which doesn't output audio!

Any one have anything more to add on the subject of REAL car mounts made for the phone AND having a connector on the bottom of it?

Anybody tryed parrot minikit smart, phone will fit in to it? many thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] farfromovin:
What we need is a Proclip/Brodit style mount with INDUCTIVE charging. I'd like to wait till Sammy's inductive charging kit comes out in a couple months and maybe modify it to fit the back of a proclip. I'd be down for the traditional fixed installation proclip if the SGS3 supported USB audio out. Or if I could dock it into a micro usb that had a USB AND 3.5mm out of that. Either way, for what you pay with proclip it just doesn't seem like you get a lot. Yeah, you get some CNC'd chunk of plastic with a $2 chinese charger coupled with it for what? $79.99 roughly? Those guys are in it to make money like Verizon lol.

But, as much as I hate their prices, I love their mounts. A quality car mount you can just slide your device into and have it in plain view for GPS/etc is very handy. Now about that wireless charging kit...

Completely opposite experience to me.

Tetrax has deeper footprint on back of phone and never held as well as the krusell, hence Tetrax needing the spider arms for larger phones etc.

The krusell is simpler, more secure and cheaper. So cheap that it's pretty easy to try it even if you decide you don't like it.

The holder itself doesn't look too bad and folds down so not obstructing my view when to in use. I had a little trouble with the joint being loose and it not supporting the weight of the phone. When I was driving it would slip and the display would be face down. I fixed it though by packing the joint to make it tighter and now it is fine. Overall not too bad for £4.

Second that, coming from a Droid X with a dock just like your link I really liked it's easy of use and custom fit. The fact that I can charge without plugging it in is great!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ansextra:
I have seen a car dock online for the S3 with built in connectors. If you do a Google Search for ECS-K200BEGSTA you should be able to find it. I am also coming from a Droid X and am using that as a standard as well. My hope is that with this car dock and possibly the use of the new NFC Tectiles that I can achieve the same smoothness as with the Droid X car dock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cleblanc92:
Hmmm...the links for that part # that show up include a car charger but are a separate connection point (not integrated into the dock really). sigh.....3rd party help us!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
That is definitely an SII mount pictured, but who knows what they're going to do - they only have a week to do it, you know how many US customers are going to go through the roof if they don't have a car dock to purchase with the largest Android release to date? And I'm one of them (though a little more understanding than most will be, I suppose)
