If you have a case then the itian that I posted awhile back is amazing. Its ~$26 on amazon but I recommend adding this $3 mod to make it the perfect mount! I am big in DIYing and did a few minor tweeks. First tweek: I bought this it was $3 from home depot. The cushion on the arms wasnt very robust and started deteriorating, I rubbed it off. A bead of it stayed in the arm but I just made sure it was flush with the hard plastic of the arms so it was a nice flush surface for the velcro to stick to. I then traced it onto the backside of the velcro and cut it out. Stuck on the arm very securely. I have 0 problems now! It holds the nexus in the neo hybrid case, ringke fusion, and a TPU case; before the neo hybrid could slip out of the mount. This mod was easy and anyone can do it. The velcro is a special kind called dual lock from 3m, both sides have firm plastic bristles that provide good pressure. The bristles are the reason why I only recommend use with a case, extremely low chance of scratching your case but I wouldnt feel right suggesting it for non-case users just for that 1% chance. I bought the ~5lbs kind more of a medium grade. I dont press the button on the cradle or anything, in landscape orientation I just put the button side down first flush with the back, and then I press the opposite side in. Phone is easy to remove. Can easily put the phone in and out of the cradle using one hand

ProClip USA, RAM mount alternative:

Additional and optional, advanced mod you can do

Second mod I did was use the vent mont but I unscrewed a part of it so I just had the ball joint and mount. In back of the ball joint was a screw that I unthreaded. I then drilled a hole in a blank button on my dash panel. Threaded the screw back in securing it to the dash, but the screw was going into plastic and as I feared it broke in testing. Alittle thinking and I grabbed a bolt, used gorilla glue epoxy and epoxied the head of the bolt to the ball joint so I had a thread now that could go through the hole in the dash, put some lock washers and a nut on the other side of the dash and im good to go. You cant see any of this DIY hacking, visually it looks really good.

I poured over this thread for a LONG time the other day. Then I did a bunch of searching online.

Finally, I found and ordered this from amazon:

iMobi4 360 Degrees Adjustable Car Mount Holder for Motorola Google Nexus 6

(Not enough posts to link yet, apparently... you'll have to search, sorry)

It is literally on a slow boat from China to me, expected delivery in like 6 weeks.

I'll update once it gets here.

Qifull is a good alternative with acceptable price.

Panavise hidden mount with bracketron. Works perfectly for me
[Nexus 6 Accessories] gerz601:
So what's the summary?

I've read through all of this and still don't know which direction to go. I don't mind suction cups to the windshield and I've never tried attaching something to my dash or air vent. I need help ?.

I drive a 08 GTI and would like to have a mount that's charges and holds my N6 in its Ringke Max case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sage_viper:
I'm using something called the "Magic Mount" and it works pretty well. It uses a little magnetic plate that you're supposed to stick to your phone or case, but I just slipped it between the hard plastic and soft plastic of my Spigen kickstand case.

It's really low profile, and so far my phone has only fallen off once in the week I've had it. I suspect I put it on the wrong spot. I'll take pics tomorrow, but here's a link: SCOSCHE MagicMount- Magnetic Dash Mount for Mobile devices - Car Mounts - Frustration-Free Packaging - Black by SCOSCHE http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I608BJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_0KwAvb15R1QMC (haven't hit my ten posts yet, but copy and paste always works ;))

Using this since last 2 years. Used it with HTC One m7, then S4 and now with Nexus 6. Only problem with this is you need a thin case otherwise it wont stick.. but very convenient to use it..

[Nexus 6 Accessories] deathshead:
I use this, its a great extremely solid mount, I love it, however it does block the volume rocker and i'm getting sick of plugging the phone everytime i get in and out of the vehicle.

Anyone know of any Cd slot mounts that have usb built in or qi charging perhaps?

Airdock
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jrmiller:
whats the airdock sticker for?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] three west:
The slickwrap carbon fiber skin is too rough to stick to the airdock, they supply a sticker. Its also got some little magnets for extra stickum insurance
[Nexus 6 Accessories] deathshead:
$99 tho! Yikes!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] three west:
Actually only $85 through Indiegogo, but that's still steep.

I really like it though, and typically keep my devices for about 2 years. Its worth $3.54 a month to me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] indolent:
I don't have an exact answer to your question but this might help. I have an airdock 1.0 and it was barely able to hold onto the curved back of the moto x (2014). It wasn't very usable, imo. I'll have my N6 tomorrow and play with it some this weekend, but I don't expect much.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] burkett375:
I have a 2008 Subaru Legacy, and I'd like to put a mount in here:

Sunglass holder

It's about 2.5" high and a few inches deep. Can this one fit in there? http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Holder-iPhone-Samsung-G3-Retail/dp/B00JRGOKQ8/ref=zg_bs_7072562011_1
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MrBrady:
I really like idea of the Airdock 2.0 with CD mount.

My concerns are:

1) I have a thin rubber Diztronic case on my N6 and wonder if that would interfere with the mounting or charging.

2) It'll be going in my 2014 Genesis R-Spec which has 429 HP. If I punch it I don't want the phone flying to the back seat. The ride is smooth so I'm not too concerned about shaking.

Any insight to these two issues?

[Nexus 6 Accessories] fadepoint89:
Never seen a concept like that. May have to order that
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I purchased it, big fan.

Phone fits great with a thick case (fits my diztronic ultra with a HUGE amount of room to spare).

The only things I dislike, which are issues with my interior : the bottom part that you use to secure it into your cd slot blocks my cars stereo screen a tad. In relation to this my USB cord also goes right down the middle of the screen to my charging port. Minor annoyances that are vehicle dependent. This is the best phone mount I've had though. Not one handed operation, but easy and very very secure. I also have to say, I purchased a quick charge 2.0 adapter for my car and being able to charge the phone rapidly while streaming music via Bluetooth and navigating is amazing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] three west:
I can't speak to the case. I've always run naked.

As for your car, given that info I'd say you're fine.

In my experience there's no concern with linear or lateral movement (acceleration & cornering) but its the vertical that could be an issue. I ran around with just the mount without the phone for a few days. Mine fell out twice. Now, I have a 4WD Tacoma, and the ride is NOT smooth. I wasn't out wheeling, but Midwestern potholes and railroad tracks were enough to jostle the top of the mount free. The Taco also has a somewhat wide mouth for the CD. I've since added a piece of 2-sided foam tape on the top "jaw" and its been fine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MultiKoopa:
OK, so, after reading through this topic, I am not seeing good options here.

I don't care about wireless charging. What I want is a mount that will hold the Nexus 6 in landscape mode securely, doesn't block the power/volume buttons, can be placed on the dashboard, can be bought in the United States, and costs less than fricking $70.

Can somebody please help me find this mythical unicorn of a car mount?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JCW8D38/

^can that one hold the Nexus 6 in landscape?

http://www.kidigi.com/products_lv2.php?pid=1570

[Nexus 6 Accessories] dansmith_13:
I just got this one today. No complaints so far...

[Nexus 6 Accessories] CaptJager:
does this mount allow for a case and still allow wireless charging?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Seems like it would interfere with the buttons.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nautec:
Driving a truck with no CD player and its too damn hot in Arizona to have anything block the air vents. I had an iOttie that fit a Note 3 but does not work very well with the Nexus 6. Going to keep an eye on this thread for a good solution.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Robpol86:
I'm another one that got the Air Dock. I use to be Anti Air Dock because I liked my creation better but I've recently changed my mind.

http://imgur.com/a/yVJRK

This was my old one with my Nexus 5. I still wish the Nexus 6 had metal discs in it to auto-align with magnets. It never once fell off in the 1.5 years I've had it. Hopefully the Air Dock will have a similar success rate.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Smartphoner:
Yes no problem. Charging well with back cover.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Not interfering with the buttons.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EugeneR:
Does it really match Nexus 6? They say on site it is up to 3.3" wide. My Nexus 6 with case is 3.4" wide Also doesn't it interfere with volume buttons?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Do you have pics with the phone in it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] longshot21771:
I use this one as well. Had an S5 when I got it. Are you having issues with the NEXUS 6 staying in it, since the back is a little curved? Mine does have a case with a stand on the back though. Which I think is causing more of the issue. But this mount is great!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wattsja:
No issues. The "arms" have foam pads that when you "clamp" in closed, will firmly hold the sides. I can rotate it 360 degrees without it even attempting to come out. (with or without a case).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MultiKoopa:
Dansmith, what kind of case do you have on your Nexus 6? Is it a tight fit for the car mount? It doesn't seem like any of the buttons are blocked, which is nice.

Is the mount easy to out on a dashboard? Does the phone stay stable while driving?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Smartphoner:
Look at my video and you will see
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dansmith_13:
I don't actually use it with a case right now. I have a bigger wallet case so I just take it out in the car.

It did a great job on my 60 mile commute this week. No rattling and didn't shift.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] KCT1975:
Quick question...Will the mount allow the phone to be in Portrait mode (vertical)?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Robpol86:
Sad news about my Air Dock 2.0, it has failed me. After about 10 minutes of driving on windy roads (highway 1, North of San Francisco near Muir Beach) my Nexus 6 suddenly fell off the charger.

I put it on pretty well, pressing strongly against the screen trying to get it fully adhered. Maybe I've got a defective unit or something.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Great video except that isn't the nexus 6, so do you have pics of the nexus 6 in it?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] georgeism:
nah b, airdock 2 is the poop. i have one as well and it falls off ALL THE TIME! you can clean the surface of the airdock 2 with some water and it will be super sticky again... for like a day. then the phone will proceed to fall off constantly.

WORST DOCK EVER
[Nexus 6 Accessories] StormMcCloud:
Hey did you ever find a good car mount? I've got the same issue you do with doing a lot of spirited driving (especially in the mountains). Let me know if you found one that works.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
Unfortunately I have not... Still keeping an eye out. I am just stuck with keeping my phone in the cupholders. I tried the Steelie, but that was messing with my phone, having a magnet so close to the phone.

Thinking I might try this one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] StormMcCloud:
I picked up this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZ5J8IA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

It seems to work well so far. Haven't had a chance to test it in the mountains yet but it does seem solid.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
I decided to pick this one up.

http://www.amazon.com/Koomus-CD-Uni...sim_422_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0D8PF0CQQWGDQ6517H1N

I will report back on how well it holds up. It looks like it should do well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] StormMcCloud:
Nice, I was thinking about one of those but I plan on replacing my head unit for a double din android unit. Either a tablet or an actual android head unit.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Current setup

I have bought a no name wireless charger for my Nexus 5 in the past, but the chin was not adjustable so that the coils would match up to charge. So...I end up scouring the forums and youtubes to find the perfect one for me. It boiled down to the iOttie and TYLT. I have the wireless charger from them, so I am aware of the quality for the price, however, I always hated the proprietary cable used to plug in the AC. The TYLT wireless charger was pretty much the same issue. Had almost all the checkmarks I wanted in a wireless car charger mount, except that I would need to give up my cool Flux Capacitor cig lighter charger. Because of the proprietary charger, I needed to look elsewhere and "settle" for the next best one that's out there.

Enter iOttie. I have seen iOttie for various devices and have heard pretty decent things about them. But I have not personally used one of them. I looked at iOttie's take on the wireless chargers/carmount chargers and was surprised that there were two versions. One was the iOttie Easy Flex, which I was 98% sure I was going to get, until I looked into the iOttie One Touch wireless car mount. I saw on the tubes that the thing had many ways to manipulate to ones desired angle and can be put just about anywhere. Bottom line that sold me was the micro usb that was needed to power the thing and the cool way the phone gets mounted and taken out. Of all the chargers I have tried/bought and was given, I have never come across the way this works. To mount, just put the bottom of the device on the chin and then press back onto a protruding button that will contract it's arms to "hug" the device and lock into place. To remove, you make a cup with your hand and pinch the sticking arms together to release the hugging clamps into your palm. No dropping, and is indeed a one handed operating unit.

The sticky suction cup is very adhesive. It takes a good amount of elbow grease to remove it lol. There are only a few "negatives" I have about this unit is that the clamp is JUST big enough to have my Nexus 6 with a Spigen Ultra hybrid to be locked in and be charged without issue and the clamp to activate the suction cup is beneath the arm, right behind the charger unit. This gets in the way if you mount it on the dash with the arm fully lowered.

The pros? There are many, such as the very sticky suction cup that can be rinsed to reconstitute the stickyness, the telescoping of the arm, the amount of joints this thing has to manipulate the "perfect" viewing angle, and using a micro usb cord to power it. These are just the tip of the iceburg. There are many more, but I fail to think of them at the moment. lol.

Anyways, here is my hat in the ring, per se. I'll post my mini-review with hands on pics later. Here is the unit I am using now.

Linkage, you can find them on amazon and the bay as well, but I am linking where I purchased it from.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] dakleenupman:
If anyone decides on using a suction cup mount, I will fully advise the RAM Mounts option. In fact, for ANY heavy duty/spirited driving or just plain crappy riding installs, NOTHING beats RAM Mounts. And they are extremely versatile too. Costs a little but you get what you pay for!

[Nexus 6 Accessories] mashuto:
Hey guys, I read through this thread and still do not quite know what to get. Ideally, I would like a mount with wireless charging and one that I can attach to a beanbag mount. Alternately, I would consider a cd mount, so long as I can turn it horizontally, and again, ideally one with wireless charging. I also use a supcase unicorn beetle case, so, it would obviously need to fit with the case on. Any recommendations?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris23445:
I second the iOttie Easy View 2. I was torn between this and the Arkon mount. I bought the Arkon and hated it, so I returned it and bought the iOttie. I seriously love the iOttie. You have to push the Nexus 6 up so it doesn't press the volume buttons but it holds it securely, I can still use the camera, and it's much easier to use. I'm using my Nexus 6 with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle and I have no issues.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Biggz1313:
Spiderpodium

Does anyone have or have tried the Breffo Spiderpodium? I'm considering this for my N6. I'd post a link but don't have enough posts under my belt.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mohcho:
So the phone with the case fits properly? I measured my phone with the same case and it's 3.5" wide. The iOttie Easy View 2 is rated for 3.5" wide devices. Do you have any issues with it not fitting? I have an iOttie Easy Touch XL and the phone with the Supcase Unicorn Bettle case barely fits anymore.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris23445:
Fits perfectly fine for me and still has a little bit of room. I don't even have to open it to it's maximum capability to put my phone in there with the case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mohcho:
Thanks for the quick reply. Will have to seriously consider this one.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] JuanOfMany:
I'm running this one.

Inexpensive, fairly low profile, and the sticky suction cup sticks to the textured IP in my Fiesta ST without leaving any residue behind. No problems with retention at all, and it's just adjustable enough. I have it mounted between the gauge cluster and the touchscreen, so it's right at hand. I tried the vent mounts, but my vents are oddly placed and angled for that kind of mount.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rpolito73:
I tried this in the past. It is just ok. After a while, the rubber peels away exposing the metal wires. It is not very attractive either. I do not recommend this.....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jrmiller:
Can you post pics of the phone in it? Really interested in that one:good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] JuanOfMany:
Sure thing. I'll grab my GoPro and take a picture with that later today. I'll get a shot both with my big case and without.

Also: When one of the rubber pads fell off late last year, iOttie sent me an entirely new mount for free! I would have been happy to receive just the rubber pads, but they went above and beyond.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] kellybrf:
I've got the vu in one car and the choe in another (which is available re-branded from many other sellers on Amazon) and prefer the choe. both charge OK, but the choe fits the phone better and takes a microUSB input whereas the tylt uses a pin meaning you have to use their car charger. it has an extra USB port on it, but it's kid 500 or 750mah so it's slow
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PhantomGamers:
I'm looking for a mount that doesn't require adjusting each time you put your phone on, something that you size up once and then can slide the phone in and out from the top.

I'm about to buy the Proclipusa mount because it seems to be the only option to do what I want, but it is a bit pricey (although not so much compared to other mounts in this thread like the air dock).

Anyone have any other suggestions?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] baldingone:
This one stays in place and doesn't move when removing the phone.

http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Smartphone-Samsung-Motorola-Optimus/dp/B00YAGVWIO

That actually looks like it might be exactly what I'm looking for, but does sliding the phone in and out of the top work well after it's adjusted?

It would lift, only one vent clamp. I just pull forward, not able to do that on others I've had.

Hi guys, I'm using a Stilgut Book Type case for my Nexus 6 http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00U2AQ3HM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

I was about to buy the iOttie Easy One Touch XL, but then I read that my phone could not fit with the flip case. It actually does not add up much width, but the flip is flat while the back of the cover is curved. Also, the volume and power buttons are completely exposed. Would the Easy Wiew 2 be a better choice, or do you have any other suggestion?

Here's a couple pics of my case, thanks in advance :)

edit: 1st pic may be a little misleading, the flip is not larger than the rest of the case. Actually, it's roughly 2mm narrower.
