I use the Scosche mounts everywhere. Yes, at the bottom of the 6P is the magnet sensor. If you position the metal plate just above the plastic bar and make sure the magnet doesn't touch the bottom of the phone, they work perfect. In my car I just place it landscape right on the middle, and at my desk I place it vertically just above the bottom. No problems at all.

I don't see why you would get anything other than a magnetic mount. It attaches faster and easier. You'll want to use a case with it though, as I wouldn't want to stick the metal plate onto my 6P...

I ordered the proclip large universal holder (cause I want to use it with a case) I'll report back when it arrive
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MoneymakerM6:
Im using the Proclip Large Universal holder T1 and it works fantastic. My 6P has a ringke fusion case on it
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Remember, the Nexus 6P is almost the identical size as the Apple iPhone 6s Plus down to about 0.1mm in all 3 dimensions. Hence, any accessory that is not specifically form fit to the iPhone 6s Plus will be the correct size for the Nexus 6P similarly cased (or naked).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] whelmar:
Thanks for the post. I had purchased the nekteck mount. That magnet actually turned off the phone when placed in the center. The magnet is just too strong. I tried a Techmatte mount that has a smaller magnet, and it does indeed hold the phone securely and doesn't turn off the screen. I never would have tried this had I not seen your post. . Again, Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] badbob001:
I'm interested in the ProClip + IOauto Pro magnetic mount, but the manufacturer's page warns that it's not be used with phones that use magnets to detect the flip cover. Has anyone tried it yet?

In case the IOauto Pro magnet is too strong and activates the flip-cover sensor, does ProClip support attaching magnetic mounts from other makers?

I'm thinking of getting a hybrid case and many have it so that the hard part can be separated from the soft rubber. So the idea is to put the metal under the hard part. The iOauto metal ring is rather small so I may get a metal plate from Scosche so I won't have to be perfect when positioning the phone to the magnet.

Also, any ideas how I can put a NFC tag on the magnet so the phone knows it's on the mount? A sticker NFC may not work, but maybe they make a tag that can stick to the side of the magnet?

Pro Clip

Is there any reason to wait for a Nexus 6p clip? Especially if we will be using a small case? Won't the adjustable iphone 6+ one work just fine?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akwally1:
If you're going to be using a case, then no, there's no reason to wait for the custom 6P holder to come out. The customer holders are designed to fit phones without cases, so you would want the adjustable holder if using a case.

just received the Large Universal Adjustable ProClip Holder T1, and it fit perfectly my N6P with the official google case. very happy

Picked up the proclip for my WRX and the Large Universal Adjustable ProClip Holder T1 based on the discussion here.

Thanks for the info people.

Please post some pictures of your Proclip once you have it setup. I'm interested on one too but need to make sure it will fit my wife's Note 5. I will also need proclip in both car.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AG206:
Will do.

Proclip is overrated IMO. I use a CD moint (Koomus) and has worked great for my Nexus 5, OnePlus One and Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Accessories] effraie:
Having using many car mount, including koomus cd mount, I believe proclip is really better. Koomus is fine, and sturdy enough, but proclip is more sturdy, and less obstructive for other functions in the car.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
I haven't tried proclip yet, but considering how much money I've spent over the life of my car on mounts, the proclip would have paid for itself. I currently am using a CD mount. While I don't usually use my CD drive (maybe once since I've owned the car, and I then loaded all the songs into memory on the hard drive), I don't like the mount. I don't feel the CD Mount is sturdy. It flops around a lot, even though my phone hasn't fallen out. I also cannot rotate the phone. If I were to try, it just spins all the way around upside down. I believe the brand for mine is MountTek. My car is an Audi A4 B8 (2011). They have a mount the goes on the side of the console. The CD Mount interferes with me shifting when I have the charger plugged into my phone. It would be a non-issue if I drove an auto, but I drive a stick. Hitting the charger with my knuckle every time I go into 1st, 3rd and 5th gear worries me that I will break the charger into my Nexus 6.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] gregb882:
Proclip uses a two-part system; a car mount base and a device holder. That allows you to buy just the part you need should you switch cars/devices. But they're a bit on the expensive side and judging buy the prices of some of the holders linked above, I'm not sure you'd really save much money using Proclip vs.

some

of the others when replacing, especially if you get a device holder with built-in charger mount. I first used the Proclip with my Nexus 5, choosing a medium sized Universal holder and the air vent mount for my Ford Fusion. Turns out that the device holder I bought wasn't as future-proof as I thought because it was still too small for my new 6P, so I bought the larger Universal holder to go onto the vent mount I already had at a cost of $34 ($40 less 15% on one of their frequent sales). That's more than the cost of some of the complete holders I looked at above. When I get a different car, I'll still need to replace the car mount at a cost of $30 (less any discount they may have at the time). I have been very happy with it's sturdiness and don't regret anything about the Proclip, but I have to admit that I didn't realize how may different brands/styles there are on the market. I may have tried a less expensive brand had I known.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
I know how they work, my concern with the others I have gotten is that they are complete crap or they are too big and block view on windshield (I had the Samsung universal mount for my Note II, I liked it, but it was bulky on the windshield for my Audi, would have been fine on my Trailblazer I had prior). I haven't tried a vent mount in a while (previous we crap), but I liked the one my dad got for his Rabbit. The 4-prong version is great, unless you have a Mini (like my mom did, they have round vents, 4 prong doesn't fit well, or at all). My biggest concern with using a vent mount is that I live in Florida... its still 90+ Degrees some days here. There isn't truly a fully universal system that works with every car and every phone. Every car is different, just like every phone is. Some phones are top heavy (wobble), some are wide (visibility/fit), some cars/trucks have great visibility and you can afford to mount something on the windshield, others are pretty crappy as it is, definitely wouldn't want to mount something there.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gregb882:
Well, good. That validates my original choice - Proclip is very sturdy and unobtrusive. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
I haven't tried them, I assume they are sturdy... They look like they fit the car well, in which case, they wouldn't wobble
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Proclip is sturdy without a doubt, but IMO it looks pretty ugly. Also the reason I like the CD mount is because I grab it on the go when I fly for work and I stick it in rental cars. It works just fine. Also it allows me to place the phone at a reasonable position where my passenger can grab it and punch in directions easily or I can fidget with it without being too obvious in states where you can get dinged.

The Proclip is very phone specific, vehicle specific, etc. If you cycle through phones quickly it can be an issue. Pretty much everyone who's seen my CD holder has asked me about it and has jumped on board.

Also my other dislike about ProClip is most of their mounts are vent mounts. There really aren't that many good spots to mount phones, and the CD player is a good spot for most IMO.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shortbus1234:
my issue is that the clips grasp right on the volume down button. Makes this http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Holder...ie=UTF8&qid=1446943393&sr=1-1&keywords=iottie one not work. But the Version 3 looks promising. http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Holder...d=1446943589&sr=1-1&keywords=iottie+easy+flex
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
If this is the Koomus you used, can you tell me if it can rotate to portrait orientation and does it grip strong enough to hold a 6P in portrait orientation? Does it swing side to side? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] effraie:
It can rotate and swing a lot, it's mounted on a ball head and i saw no limitations here. It's strong enough in any position.

But each time I removed the phone from the mount, the position moved and i had to reposition it next time (not a big issue)

A more embarrassing issue was the position of buttons on the 6p : jaws of the koomus was pressing the volume button unless I clip it at the very end of the device, making it feel unsafe, both in portrait and landscape mode. I had no real accident, but it felt a bit like a bet about gravity...

Finally, in my car, the size of the 6p + the place of the cd mount was annoying... Getting in the way of some dashboard commands.

My new proclip is clearly less versatile, but feel way more safe, and does not get in the way.

(ı feel the limitations of english here... Hope I'm clear enough)

[Nexus 6P Accessories] MoeDaddy:
Here is my temp solution

I have had Proclip mounts for all my phones for a few years now. I usually wait until the make a version for my phone but I am impatient so... I ordered the Iphone 6 plus mount: http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-holders/device/apple/iphone-6-6s-plus-without-a-case/padded-holder-with-tilt-swivel-for-cable-attachment-514661-19735.cmsv?p_leftorright=0 This mount is made to use the original lighting cable. So I drilled out the cable mount to fit a micro to type-c adapter. Then used a square file to file the corners in the mount a bit because the iphone has rounded edges. This will work until proclip makes a 6P version. Actually I could just leave it this way but I like buying new stuff haha...

[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Yeah, I'm concerned about the volume button too. Think the smaller width and design of the old Koomus might actually better than the new one. Not sure who at Google/Huawei thought it would be a good idea to put the volume button in the middle of the right side. Much better higher up on the left side under the thumb, at least for most right handers.

Think my solution will be the Koomus for now and then for rentals/wife's Van for trips and the Proclip for my Acura TL.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Pretty cool idea :) I am just using a T1 Proclip universal until the 6P mount is released
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alex800:
Any issues with volume buttons? Can you post a picture of your Proclip mount?

No issue with the proclip T1 u universal here, using it with the graphite case from Google

I'm using one of these at the moment, I'd normally go the brodit route but the positioning was slightly awkward in my car and this doens't look too bad when it's not in use.

I can note this morning that if you have a iOttie like I posted before and a thick case, the volume buttons are out of the way.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] badbob001:
I've considered the proclip, but it's rather expensive. It's not that it's $30 for just the clip, but if I want a magnetic mount solution, I have to go with their $50 iOauto solution. The proclip does accept any mount with AMPS-compatible screw-holes, but I haven't found any third-party magnetic solutions that uses screws. And the proclip model for my car seems to be designed for placement at the side of the vent, but my preference is in the center, and that would cover up a significant part of the vent.

If I'm going to cover the vents anyway, then maybe I should try some $9-$24 solution before going with an $80 one.

The $24 iOttie magnetic mount seems ok. I like the adjustable head so I'm not at the mercy of my vent angles. And it contains 6 magnets so the connection should be strong. The vent clamp doesn't have any hooks so it'll probably fall out or get pulled out over time.

The $9 WizGear magnetic mount has an actual hook so it'll probably stay in place even over potholes. But I wish it didn't stick out so far and is low profile like the iOttie, but I suppose that does give more clearance for airflow from the vents. This also has an adjustable head. I'm not sure how many magnets are in it.

CD-tray solutions are out because my CD-tray is not exposed. Suction-cup solutions are out because they fall off over time and are an eyesore.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mdelongpre:
For those of you with the Ram X Mount..... did you get the standard size (up to 3.25 inches wide) or the phablet size mount?

I will have this case:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X90UJS?keywords=supcase 6p&qid=1447174908&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

So I am not sure if the normal x mount would be a more snug fit or if I should go with the phablet size mount. I can't find any dimensions on the case for the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AG206:
My proclip is on back order.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ctbear:
I am interested in this. Does it clamp onto the power/volume buttons?

Should have it tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Knolly:
I'm using a Proclip vehicle mount with a $13 Scosche magnetic mount. I just stuck it on with the adhesive, and it works fantastically. If you wanted to you could easily put a screw through the mount for extra security but it's working just great using only the adhesive.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mattjacobson:
If you don't like the placement (and cost) of the proclip vehicle mounts, I'd suggest looking into the "Panavise InDash" line of products; they seem comparable to the proclip ones. (I actually preferred the Panavise model since they can use existing screw points for a secure, but removable, mount.) Their website sucks, but you can search by your car model at the bottom of the page. As a tip, Panavise has a lot of distributors, so once you find the model number, just Google it; I was able to get my mount for ~$15 shipped.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] john7760:
I am using it with my Nexus 6P and it holds it fine in portrait and landscape. In portrait I have it hold it towards the base so not to interfere with the volume buttons.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akenis:
I'm in the exact same boat. I was able to squeeze my 6P with Adopted Case...very tight fit! Someone said in another forum that some ProClips can be heated and expanded a bit. That may just work with the medium Universal.

But the Large may have a larger surface to grip the phone? Can you see if the Large holds the phone higher up? And can you put a finger on scanner in back? With Medium, I can reach down and use middle finger easily!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] compchick813:
I have this one and just clamp it onto the lower part of the phone below the buttons. It holds it quite well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Thanks. It came today and seems pretty good for $15.

The 6P is my first Nexus phone and find the volume button location a poor design choice. I would designate at least an inch from each side of the midpoint out of bounds for buttons on either side! Now I know why Samsung puts the volume on the left side under the thumb!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akenis:
Here's what I read in another forum about remolding a Proclip. Like I said before I think the Medium Universal would work fine with 2-3 mm extra space.

I've found that the 'non-adjustable' phone holder can be adjusted. Just remove it from the swivel and heat it in a 220 degree oven for about 20 minutes. You can bend it to whatever size (within reason!) before it cools. Make sure you heat only the holder bracket itself without any of the screws that secure it to the ball-swivel hardware.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alex800:
Anybody can share a picture of ProClip Large Universal Adjustable ProClip Holder T1 with 6P in it? I need to share this holder between 6P and Note 5. Note 5 is in Supcase Unicorn Beetle PRO case and 6P is in Supcase Hybrid case. Visually they are about the same size. I’m going to use this holder with ProClip Suction Cup Mount Kit. Also I will have to outfit 2 cars in my household.

TIA
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gregb882:
Yes, the large does have more area that it's clamping onto the phone than the medium, but you can still easily reach the fingerprint sensor to wake it up. I use the Bluetooth Sync connection and have it trusted so I don't have to mess around with unlocking, but the button is easily accessible on my set-up.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akenis:
Thanks. Guess they've managed to get another $60 out of me for 2 large. We should be future proof now!

Any promo codes for Proclip now? They happen pretty frequently..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ctbear:
What is your experience with it so far? Does it stay put while driving? Does it leave a mark on the dash?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] compchick813:
I'm liking it so far. I've had to push it back down a few times to get it to adhere more (my dash is very textured). It's held the phone well with no issues despite the fact that it's only holding it at the bottom below the buttons. I haven't taken it off so I'm not sure if it leaves a mark.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tcat007:
Follow up. This one is nice, very heavy duty. Clamp has button on back that pneumatically spreads the arms apart. CD mount has knob that tightens mount securely in place. Sticks far enough out not to interfere with other controls. Seems have side opening to access volume control.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jhnstn00:
How has this worked out? Does the phone swivel down or move when you hit bumps or dips in the road?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] onebelo:
Having a magnetic mount previously with the Note 4 where I was able to put the metal plate inside the back cover, I wanted something that was low profile with minimal parts involved. Sucks that I cant use the magnetic one since I didn't want the plate on the back of the 6P.

I ended up going with the Kenu Airframe+ which came in yesterday along with my 128gb 6P, perfect timing. At first it didn't seem like it would work well and appeared tough to get the phone in without using two hands but after messing with it more and changing location on vent, I was able to get a solid connection and found a way to put the phone in easily. With the volume button being close to the middle, I had to make sure the grip was slightly below it. Still feels solid though and doesn't seem like it would fall off. As you can see in the picture, I have 3 vents in the middle so blocking one isn't a big deal. It doesn't block my head unit either. I still prefer the easeness of the magnetic mount but this one is a nice compromise for the 6P. Kinda pricey though
[Nexus 6P Accessories] stuart0001:
I haven't installed it yet. I'll update in the next couple of days once I've road tested it.

The ball is well held in the socket so I'm expecting to be ok.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:
I'd appreciate a photo of the N6P in the mount! Just discovered this is identical to one made by Anker (which is also cheaper). More specifically, I'd like to see how the volume rocker is accessible via the side clamp, and whether the power button is also accessible?

I'm just wondering whether tightening the clamps would inadvertently press down on the buttons and either impeded or affect function. Thanks again in advance.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gadget069:
I ordered this
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
You're ok with attaching a huge metal disk to the back of your phone?

If I was going to put anything on my phone, I'd get a Tetrax mount:

http://www.amazon.com/Tetrax/b/ref=...5437208011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Tetrax
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gadget069:
I don't think the disk will be that huge, especially on this phone. I'll let you know how it works out.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
One of the reviews said that the disk is about the diameter of a quarter and about as thick as three quarters. So, that's roughly 1 inch in diameter and 0.2 inches thick. The phone is 0.29 inches thick and 3.06 inches wide, so the disk is almost as thick as the phone and about 1/3 the width. I'd call that HUGE!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gadget069:
I guess we'll see.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] stuart0001:
Put the 1 from the crazy mount on my silicon case. Not too obtrusive IMO.

Road test to follow.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] stuart0001:
Even if you normally like you're phone naked, the case is so easy to take on/off that it could just be used in car
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tcat007:
The volume buttons are accessible, depending on position. I use fingerprint to turn on screen. If you have a heavy duty CD changer this won't budge, it's very well made and super rigid. My CD slot it a bit wimpy plastic so it has a little bounce to it, but not bothersome. If you use bottom swing out feet in portrait you don't need to squeeze the clamp too tight. If you don't use the feet, you can tighten the clamp where it won't slide, so you could have volume access through the side opening (with phone slid down).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] imstill@g:
Do you think this works work ( is it tall enough) to place in a cup holder? Then angling it toward the driver?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Bettz:
I've not tried it with my 6P yet as its still sat in its box until the case arrives :mad:

It fits an iPhone 6+ so id imagine it'll fit the 6P fine.

You can rotate the clasp bit to whatever angle you need :good:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] stuart0001:
It's a big base, not sure it'd fit. Also depends how much you need to angle it

I have this & will not risk using it on the N6P because at that width there is a lot of tension on the clamps. If I was a betting man I'd expect damage after prolonged use
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alex800:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] a1exus:
I'm used to use "kenu airframe" and it's pretty good, i like it a lot for being small as i cannot stand those humongous mounts, maybe if you have van or suv that's not an issue, but i have coupe so I tend to go for smaller mount...
