Do you have the phone and double dip hard shell yet? I really love the case but all I'm hearing is how hard it is to get the phone in ands that it scratches the phone....is this true, anybody know? I've watched some YouTube videos and it does look like a tight fit, you have to push the phone in to the case, so I can see where it may get scratched.
[One (M7) Accessories] khedara:
Very good case, I have few cases, the tpu, plastic and the double dip and I change them all the time. Didn't scratch

Or get a Morphie/Anker or other external battery that has 2x the capacity. This is already a fairly tall phone and that looks like it adds 15 mm to the height of the phone. I would rather have a external pack that I can plug in when I have some down time and let it recharge.

Has anyone had any luck finding the D160 Car Dock in the US? Everything I have found ships from the UK (time and $$). I have to say I am disappointed in the lack of accessory support from HTC. No desktop dock and some of the accessories they do "advertise" aren't available... Sigh.

[One (M7) Accessories] NCX Designs:
Excellent find! I had hoped Mophie would make one for the M7, I love the one I have for the Galaxy S3, It comes in handy when I'm at work and need a charge.

Now I just need to wait till the black HTC One comes out. Waiting... Waiting... Waiting....

I got to try out the black One at my local Costco, I like the matte black design much better than the silver. Silver is just too bright and the black digitizer doesn't match for my liking in design. I have seen a lot of cases for the One that use the black design to make the design really "pop"

The Poetic Atmosphere cases are probably my favorite designs so far

I was wonder if that telescoping car mount would hold a note 2? or is it an inch to big for it?

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

So from what I gather from arkon catalong I need a mount part #SM060-2 with the telescoping part #CM117-SBH. The combination of the both part #TAB-CM117 would be an inch to big. I guess I just answered my own question. Thanks again for the cool pictures.

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Just ordered the parts from http://www.mountguys.com. With free shipping on orders over $35. Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Yeah, those plastic covers are backseat savers :)

No matter which mount you choose, they all have universal connection to clip any/all Arkon mounts. In every mount option I have in those picture, I use the same Slim-Grip Ultra. It comes with 2 sets of feet, for Note 2 use a longer one and for Nexus 7 a shorter one. The whole setup is VERY flexible. And you can actually use any car grip or even Garmin gps. Slim-Grip connects to a small mounting plate which has universal ball joint attachment that works with all other similar ball join accessories.
[General Accessories] Shady Gambino:
Nice review!
[General Accessories] vectron:
Btw, that upside down suction is for real. I was asked by someone in another forum how that was done. It's just an upside down suction without anything else. That sticky part with air suction works like a cement glue!!! Also forgot to mention, the sticky gel part is easy to wash off and it becomes like brand new.
[General Accessories] dhoang:
OP, question for you. What's is the extended mount in pics 4,5,6 calls. I cannot find it on Akron website. Thanks.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Strange. It seems they updated their webpage and that particular combo is not available. The part was SM6-CM117, and I see it's still listed in their catalog: http://www.arkon.com/catalog/Arkon 2013 Catalog.pdf

Let me ping them to see if they can fix their website. Or perhaps you can use that P/N if you order by phone.
[General Accessories] dhoang:
Thank for the info. Look like its not available anywhere.

Which one are you talking about. Can you post some pics
[General Accessories] snapcrackpop:
Got my Arkon Ultra yesterday and this fits properly. Wish the ball was a little tighter for putting in and out with one hand.

If the windshield mount is low it does not cover my view of the road, but then its hard to reach without leaning forward. ..
[General Accessories] vectron:
Just got a reply from Arkon; they updated their pages and fixed the error. The direct link to that extended mount is here:

and it was also added to their main Slim-Grip Ultra page: http://www.arkon.com/Slim-Grip Ultra/index.html

I got my ultra slim grip sticky dash and winshield. I have to say is a great mount and it sticks to anything. I bought it fo4 my note 2 but I tried it with my Asus tf700 and it works great too.
[General Accessories] donec:
You say the sticky part can be washed but not how to wash it or dry it without getting fuzz on it?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Just like with any of these sticky pad bases from Arkon, Exogear, iOtties, etc. - just rinse it under the cold water and shake the water off. The rest air dries within minutes and you are good to go. In one occasion I had some specks of dust already stuck to it when I removed it from a surface, that got washed away as well.
[General Accessories] D3_:
How well does this work with the ZeroLemon battery?

The official universal one I got from Samsung doesn't hold it as well as I'd like, pretty sure it'd fall off if I went over too many speedbumps.

I could only find this on eBay, not on Amazon, it's $22.99 + $13.55 shipping to the UK, or $36.53/£23.89, does that seem like a good price for it in the UK? Take into consideration the iBolt xProDock is £35.95+£9.95 shipping for the Samsung version, while the HTC version is available on Prime.

iBolt mini-rant:

I'd rather not get that just out of spite for all the delays and broken promises for those of us not in the UK. We were told long before it was even released that it'd be available on Prime in the UK but here we are, months after release and the Samsung one costs an extra £10 in delivery costs.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Just confirmed it, Slim-Grip Ultra should work with ZL/tpu.
[General Accessories] D3_:
Doesn't sag much while driving? The universal samsung one barely holds onto it and the added weight has it bouncing all over the place.
[General Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
What is the minimum size that a device can be, that the Slim-Grip Ultra can accept?

I.e, would it accept a GPS device that is 3.3(H)x1(D)x3.7(W) inches?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I'm using their mega grip now, so haven't tested while driving. In theory the spring loaded mechanism will be tight and should hold it snug. Plus, the side legs are angled and long enough so it will kind of wrap around it. In a worst case, you can always return it right?
[General Accessories] lafaya:
does this work with the UAG Cases?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Not sure if you are joking or being serious, because all the pictures in my original post of Slim-Grip Utlra have UAG case on Note 2 ;)

[General Accessories] jozjonlin:
I have a couple of the Arkon grips like you have here. They work well with my 7" tablets, but I don't like them with my Note II. I prefer something along the lines of the first picture. Does that fit the Note II and a case?

Same here, I'm use slim ultra grip for Nexus 7 and mega grip for Note 2. Been using arkon mega grip for years, solid built, still works perfectly.

Mega grip vs Slim grip ultra

[MENTION=3996566]vectron[/MENTION], I would like to know your advise...

I am currently using galaxy S4. I am interested in Mega grip and slim grip ultra (both in sticky dash mount). Which one is best in your opinion (sturdy, ease of use, durable). I won,t upgrade to bigger than Note 2 sized devices and am not planning to use a TAB either.

Any help is greatly appreciated
[General Accessories] vectron:
To be honest, I haven't tried it with S4 since I had to return my S4 review unit back to Verizon, but I think either of those should work well with it. At the current moment I switched to Mega Grip because I go back'n'forth between original and extended Zerolemon battery and MegaGrip just better with its "mega grip" :) But either one should be fine with S4, as a matter of fact Ultra-Slim will be easier with S4 (in comparison to Note 2) since you can have a true one hand operation because you don't have to pull spring-loaded tab too far.
[General Accessories] geekymahesh:
Thanks for the quick reply :)

I think slim grip ultra will block the camera. Isn't it? I have read in androidpolice forum that they says mega grip holder is more sturdy and robust than slim grip holders..with one hand operation and push button release it is easier to use. right?

What about the air vent mount? Is it sturdy as well? Any experience with mobile grip?

I am glad that I didn't have to contact arkon because we have an arkon expert here. :good: Thanks
[General Accessories] coquipr:
I got 2 of them back in march. One of them works great but the other one keeps falling of my dash even when I put it in the winshield and use one hand to take it of it k3eps falling. I made sure it was clean. I wonder if I contact the company if they will do something for me

sent from my t-mo note 2
[General Accessories] vectron:
Definitely, contact and let them know about the problem. Everything is under warranty and should be replaced if defective. These guys been in business for a very long time and have a great reputation.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Yes, camera will be blocked. You can see that in my OP from pictures toward the end where I took close ups of the front/back with phone in the mount. Indeed, I found push button of mega grip to be more suitable for one hand operation. Also, its a very durable design, been using it for almost 3 years with my Droid X and now Note 2, been on my dashboard in temperatures down to single digits in the winter and triple digits in the summer. Very high quality material. But like I said, both mounts are great, although my choice of Mega grip has to do more with using extended ZL battery which doubles the weight and thickness of my Note 2. If you are deciding between these two, why not order from amazon both and keep the one that you like?
[General Accessories] geekymahesh:
Thank you for the help. As you said I placed order for both on amazon. I will update once I get it.:cool:
[General Accessories] coquipr:
I will

sent from my t-mo note 2
[General Accessories] vectron:
I just had a quick discussion with Arkon VP of Marketing, and they suggested emailing directly to "warranty@arkon.com". As of recently, they updated their warranty to 2-year limited. Contact that email, provide them a picture of a broken part or description of the problem, and you will get a replacement!
[General Accessories] geekymahesh:
Thats good news....will they provide warranty to outside US (say India) without return the broken piece.

I ordered 3 pieces . SM 678 and SM 410 for me and MG 178 for my friend for his ford fiesta. Your reviews helped me a lot. Thanks
[General Accessories] vectron:
Just email them to find out.. It's a common practice from a lot of trustworthy vendors to ask you for a picture of the failure or lo-fi video clip. The reason why they ask to return failed pieces is usually because they need to study the failure to improve their product quality, not because they question your integrity. If it's an international shipping back that will cost you more then a product itself, I would think there are some exceptions in place.
[General Accessories] geekymahesh:
Thats nice. I hope I won't get DOA or defective pieces. Thanks
[General Accessories] coquipr:
Thanks a lot for the info. I will get on it today

[General Accessories] Stoney60:
Okay, I've read the whole thread, but don't understand the reasoning for a mega grip for the note 2--which I don't have, but was thinking about getting until this morning when I read about the Galaxy Mega which att is starting to sell on Friday and will also be available on Sprint (my carrier). will the slim be be ok for this new phone? We don't have 4g here yet (ie sprint), but I think it might be with Verizon or att-not sure as im tired to Sprint for a while yet. I do have a note 10.1 tablet and love the stylus. I've owned arkon mounts for years.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Why would you want to get Note 2, which is almost 1 year old phone, when Note 3 will be announced in two weeks? Galaxy Mega has a very watered down spec and looks to be like one of those budget devices they usually release with a smaller screen as scaled down version. Just my opinion, wait until announcement of Note 3 which supposed to be either 5.7" or 5.9", has all the perks of S4 and add more stuff.

Regarding Arkon Mega-Grip versus Slim-Grip Ultra, Mega fits Note 2 without a problem including thick cases like Defender or with a big extended battery like Zerolemon and a little easier operation where you can use a true 1-hand operation. But it won't accommodate anything bigger than Note 2. With Slim-Grip Ultra you have an option of original one or IntelliGrip with internal replaceable NFC tag, and it can also accommodate any phone or tablet up to 8". You will need to use 2 hands for bigger phones and tablets, but you get an advantage of a universal car mount which you can use with multiple devices, all those 5"-6" phones and 7"-8" tablets.
[General Accessories] geekymahesh:
I got the mounts. Very pleased by the Amazon's quick delivery (to India). It only took 4 days to reach here. Even though I chose normal International shipping, it seems they shipped via DHL express because I could track it on DHL express site.

OK, let me tell about the mounts...

I bought total 3 mounts (1 for me and rest for my friends). SM 678 slim grip ultra, SM 410 mega grip and MG 178 mobile grip. As soon as I opened the packets I were blown away by the quality of the mounts. I have tried all 3 mounts in my car (Fiat Linea) on short trips and all are awesome. Build quality, engineering, usability etc all are very good. In some reviews people says Arkon's air vent mount is flimsy and shaky but my experience is different. It works well in my car's vent. Sticky mounts are sticking like leech...

Here are some pics....

detailed review and more pics later :)
[General Accessories] vectron:
Arkon just officially updated their warranty to 2 years: http://www.arkon.com/warranty.html

That is actually a big deal since I always think its a great gesture for a company to show they really stand behind their products and believe in their quality.
[General Accessories] vectron:
In the last month I got a few PMs from people asking me which model of Arkon car mount I would recommend. As you probably seen, I usually refer to Slim Grip Ultra as my favorite one, and I have tested all of them :) Can't go wrong since it works with every smartphone from old iPhone to Note 3 as well as small 7"/8" tablets like Nexus 7 and Note 8 or iPad Mini, therefore you are future proofed for whatever comes next, S5, Note 4, etc. But when you start looking at all the Slim Grip Ultra models, it could get a bit confusing will all the different models corresponding to mounting options, different bases, suction cups, etc.

So instead of replying to separate PMs, I figured just to post the link to their latest model where they have a new improved sticky suction base, which to be honest is the best I have ever seen with any mount (max bond to any surface). This one is their latest model SM679, its $16 plus change with free amazon shipping option here: http://www.amazon.com/Suction-Windshield-Dashboard-Samsung-Smartphones/dp/B00H89MLLM/
[General Accessories] Stoney60:
So I picked up a note 3 and an I-blason case and now a slim grip ultra which I like very much. I just wish reiko made a case to fit the note 3 I so miss my reiko s3 type case.

I have one other suction base as well 2 vent mounts (which are very handy when traveling to keep the phone cool while maintaining a charger connection)

Dont know how I entered speakerphone mode, cant seem to exit it. I know you are supposed to make a call then hold the call button for 2 seconds but this does not switch speakerphone mode.

I have done soft & hard resets still the same.

I have entered the boot loader and run the self test and audio + mic are OK.

Running 3.14.13 ROM & 4.14. Radio sw

My last thought was to reload the PPC ROM & Radio stack, done and still same the sam problem, no audio & stuck in speaker phone mode?
