I have this for my Galaxy S6 Edge (The S6 attaches to it without a magnet but it comes with one).

I loved it. I hate those suction ones that go on the windshield.

http://shop.500madness.com/index.ph...ord=phone+mount&category_id=0&product_id=2005

Unfortunately,

I'm not going to use it with my 6P as I don't think it has magnets to hold it up and I don't want to use the strip as I want to show off that Nexus logo. :D

Alas, I'm giving it to my girlfriend.

I highly recommend a CD one like the one I linked though, it's nice and sleek!

I've been using this for a little over a year now and happy with it
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exel:
Hey!

Do you mind taking a picture of that in your car or something?

I want to see how bulky it is / looks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] belly1026:
Happy to oblige

Oops, didn't quote you but I posted a picture of it in my car.

Check out ram mounts. They have a great selection that fits all types of vehicles.

Here's mine which is custom mounted for my MINI.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hokee:
[MENTION=929469]Ovrclck[/MENTION]

That mount setup looks terrific! How does the Ram mount connect to that custom arm. I believe the ram mount has a ball joint on the back, and I'm curious as to how you did yours up.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MrWilliams2:
Pro Clips are well worth the money. 6p will be the 3rd phone that will go in mine. Still good as new.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exel:
Thank you so much!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Hayaku:
Giving this one another recommendation. Have it in my Subaru for almost two years now.

It's very solid and sturdy.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ovrclck:
Thanks! You're correct. My friend cut the ball off and drilled a hole through. Fits great!

Ram mounts came out recently with a modified version, similar to what we did but it also comes with a screw /nut set.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
I use the same one and love it! Great for when I'm using GPS.

No issues with the volume rocker and lock button?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] omnius1:
No, the pads are pretty spongy so while they do cover the volume partially they don't press the buttons when I close the sides in to mount it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ramenn00dl3s:
I ordered a product called the mountek air snap on indiegogo, should be here in by christmas. But it is a mount that you hook on to your ac vent and it has a strong magnetic pad and comes with a magnetic badge to put on your phone (you can also put the badge on a case of in the case as well) and it seems a lot easier just to get in your car and then place your phone on the magnet and you're good to go. It's very strong too, I saw an iPad on the mount, even with potholes and bumps it didn't move one bit.

P. S I heard there was some cases where in magnetic mounts it would mess up the phone and what not, so I contacted mountek support and they told me that they have been testing it out on the same phone for over a year and they haven't had any issues

https://youtu.be/46JWZRekqyM
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
How have they tested it out on a 6P for over a year?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Harry Pothead:
They used it on one unspecified phone for a year, not explicitly with the 6P. Which is exactly the meaning his statement conveys in my opinion.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 1nv1n:
I currently have the Arkon mount.. It works as advertised, easy to setup, relatively easy to put the phone in & take it out; but feels a little clunky to use.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I can see it that way too, it was more of a joke.

Either way, some phones have no problems with magnet mounts, others do. Compasses can have issues, phones with magnetic switches built in them to turn the screens on or off when a cover is opened/closed have issues, and more. Some folks have gotten some to work well with the 6P as far as I've read, others have had them screw with their screen staying on.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ramenn00dl3s:
My bad, should have specified that they used an unspecified device. But yeah you're right. Most of the cases where I heard magnetic mounts affected the phones were older phones, the newest phone I hear being affected long term from the magnet is a Nexus 4..which is pretty old if we're talking about the 6p lol. Also, I read on a forum (maybe on mounteks support forum?) That someone has used a magnetic mount with their nexus 5 for over a year and they haven't had any problems. I did a lot of research on this so I don't end up messing my 550+ dollar phone up using a $20 product.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I've got one of the iBolt car docks on the way to me to beta test. I'll let you guys know what is up with it after I get to test it for a few days and talk to them about any issues first. They seem very interested in making what we want, so it should be good news.

I'll probably start a new thread for that one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] skimminstones:
can i ask if the sticky gel is easy to remove and if it leaves a residue on car plastics?

I like the look of these but i work in car sales and my car can change every few months. Dont want to change the car and find the gel pad wont come off easily.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] compchick813:
I haven't tried to remove it since I don't want to reduce its stickiness.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
You just have to rinse the pad with warm water to return full stickiness, it's not an adhesive that dries out permanently.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] compchick813:
Good to know, thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tgearman:
I picked up a vent mount holder from Target and it works perfect with my 6P in a Supcase. The vehicle is a 550xi and I used the top left middle vent. I closed that individual vent to avoid heating the phone, as I'm in Minnesota and it's wintery. The mount is a Kenu Airframe Plus. A bit pricy but well designed and I'm happy with it. Easy in/out and very unobtrusive.

I tried that, but the arms were pressing on the volume buttons. Do you not have that problem?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fury683:
I pulled the trigger on a ProClip system last night. Hoping it works out!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Izeltokatl:
I'm not having any issues with the volume keys.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
No issues with the volume keys either here. I'm using the Supcase Unicorn Beetle case, and just push the bottom rest all the way to the right, then tilt the mount just a bit to the right, this causes the phone to be tilted to the left and avoid the volume buttons altogether.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rsage:
I was having the same problem. I used a little black sugru on the bottom support pad to make it taller, now it works like a charm. Volume buttons are unaffected.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fury683:
Installed my ProClip last night and used it on my commute with AutoMate today. I usually like my phone in landscape mode with a car dock, but it works great in portrait. The ProClip mount for my car makes it tough to go landscape due to the location it is mounted, but I could do it if necessary.

Very sturdy and easy to install.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] aakashji:
I think there will be problems with there holders as the buttons are in the middle of the phone. These buttons will get pressed when the blacker will close onto the middle of phone
[Nexus 6P Accessories] skimminstones:
just to confirm ive tried this and it leaves no residue when you peel it off the car plastics :)

Also holds the 6p very well in landscape mode, even with it not being held in the centre due to the volume button.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] slaydog:
Love the ProClip I've been using for my Note 2 for years, but for some reason I can't get used to using the 6P without a case. It's so tall that it just feels top-heavy in my hands like it wants to tumble out. And it's so thin...

I love having the charger built into the mount though, I'm sure I wouldn't charge it half the time if I had to plug it in each time.

I'll try to go case-less for a few days again and see if I can get used to it.

Is it hard to push into the charger? I hate the amount of force I have to use just to plug it in to the stock wall charger, keep thinking it will eventually break. It has gotten easier with time, though...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fury683:
With my Nexus 6p in the standard ProClip mount (no attached chargers) I can insert the iOrange-E USB A to USB C cable with one hand (assuming it's light enough outside for me to see the charging port). I make sure to press the phone down in the dock/cradle firmly so that when I insert the cord it doesn't slide up on me.

I also use the dock without the charger on shorter trips. I have Tasker setup to play music when bluetooth connects in my car, so that runs no matter what. If I plug in the charger AND connect to bluetooth, AutoMate launches itself (it has defined rules that work similar to a Tasker profile) and shows me the dashboard. I have a 35 mile commute each way to work so the traffic and weather info in AutoMate is handy.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] slaydog:
Oh, I see...

I'm going to try that driving app too. I have talked set to launch Waze, but it doesn't give all of the info I would like- just the map/traffic and speed (if you enable it...).

I ordered a generic mount that will work with my case, and I think I'll be able to hook it up the same way I attached my ProClip, we'll see.

In the meantime, I'm gonna see if I can get comfortable using my phone without a case. If so, I'll probably spring for the ProClip again
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I have a thread up and will put some more pictures up today, but the iOttie Easy One Touch 3 works PERFECTLY with the 6P. 2 feet on the new one that are adjustable up/down/left/right and fit your USB cable. Buttons are completely clear of the side arms, of which are much better than the old one. Strong spring, and a huge nice looking button on the back to activate it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fury683:
They have one that fits the 6p with a case. It's adjustable width up to 88mm wide. The phone itself is 77.8mm, and the dock is adjustable from 77-88mm in width. The dock supports a thickness of 3-9mm with the 6p being 7.3mm thick without a case. So as long as your case isn't really bulky, the ProClip will work. Based on what I can see there, it should also work without the case as well.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] rbrenart:
I'm using the popsockets with the popclip. Super convenient, totally hidden when the phone is on the dash. Only downside is that my dash didn't have a great mounting place nearby so it's more of a reach than is ideal. (http://www.popsockets.com/collections/allproducts) And then obviously it's a personal preference as to whether or not you like the popsocket concept.

My wife has the new MPOW magnetic (http://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Degree-Universal-Holder-iPhone/dp/B0158H6CTM/) which I totally recommend. We put a skin on her phone and just sandwhiched the metal plate between the skin and the phone so it's not actually adhered to the phone. I don't have a case or skin on my phone, otherwise this is definitely what I'd have on mine - in fact I might get a skin just so I can do it.

Just ordered iOttie Easy One Touch 3

Was looking at the iOttie Easy One Touch 2, which was $30... then saw the touch 3.. looks more sturdy and only $5 more..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Lurked this thread for a while but finally have stuff to contribute. I've tested a few magnetic mounts (one more review in the process) and a clip based mount. Check out the link in my sig. Each mount has it's own thread with plenty of pics and details. Hope it helps a few people decide how to best mount their phones.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I never got the one I was supposed to test or any replies to my emails.

Still very concerned about the phone being only held by USB plug end.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Very much this.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hokee:
Ditto. I emailed them about this and we'll see what kind of response I get
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SoonerLater:
My 6p is in a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case (worst product name ever, but a good case).

My 6p in its stupidly named case fits in a SlipGrip that is custom made for my phone+case combination.

My SlipGrip is the type that has a RAM ball mount on the back of it, but there are many other types of mounting options for SlipGrip.

My 6p in its case in the SlipGrip is attached to a RAM RAP-B-200-1-18U RAM FLEX ROD W 1" SOCKET BOTH ENDS 18" flexible armature (flexible enough to bend into the shape you like; stiff enough to stay that way after you bend it - also can be custom cut to length very easily) which is attached to a RAM RAM-B-224-1U	RAM 3.3" DIA. SUCT CUP W 1" BALL which is attached to my windshield (very low, out of my line of sight).

There is no holder better than the SlipGrip. I've owned several over the years for my vehicles and bicycles. You can easily and with just one hand insert the phone and remove the phone from the SlipGrip.

The only thing that would make me happier would be if my car had somewhere on my dash to attach a RAM ball instead of having to mount to the windshield.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] m771401:
Big fan of the RAM mounts. Mainly because I can piece together whatever I want.

X-Grip + arm + handlebar mount attached to rearview mirror. Rock solid which is what I need for off-road use.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Note that RAM makes a ball mount that connects between your windshield and the mirror. Much cleaner.

https://youtu.be/o7fGQESI5eo
[Nexus 6P Accessories] m771401:
Yep. Fully aware. I just happened to have a few handle bar mounts laying around.

These guys make a very clean mirror mount for Tacomas as well that works with ram-mounts.

I would very much like their Techdeck too but can't justify the cost.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AverageCanadian:
A bunch of friends and I got this setup. It works well, but I have an ultra slim case on my phone and couldn't handle the magnet on the back. I'm currently looking for another case that can quickly go over my current case that I can attach the magnet to and just use while I'm in the car.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] disaznguy817:
Does this mount not interfere with the volume rocker?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
The previous model had problems with the volume down button but the new version works perfectly with the 6P. I love it as you can use one hand to put the phone on the car mount and take it off the mount with one hand as well.

I just got an email from them and they're currently having a 30% off sale on Amazon.

The promo code is UPGRADE3.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
No, it does not. I've posted it before as I got mine last week there is a djustable foot on it that lets you raise or lower the device. This one clamps stronger and has a much bigger activation button than the old ones. Pretty fantastic.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] eidl113:

Sure can. Need to charge up my G3 or have my wife do it with her 6P tonight when she gets it.

For $18? I think it's a pretty good deal. Check my last post for a 30% off promo code. They usually have deals every now and then. So if you can wait for a better deal, go for it. They just released v3.

18 bucks is indeed good deal but with the shipping (outside the states)...

Works really well with my 6p.

I read all 24 pages and can't seem to find one that fits my need.

I don't want a vent ment and I don't have a CD player in my car. I'm looking for one with a suction cup that I can put on the windshield in the horizontal position.

The only mount that looks like it might be good for me is the ram mount with the phablet holder. Does someone that uses it can confirm to me that the mount don't grip directly on the power/volume buttons and can hold the phone horizontally?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Doesn't come close to the buttons.

Also, they have a rear view mirror base if you don't want to use a suction cup.

https://youtu.be/o7fGQESI5eo
[Nexus 6P Accessories] barry99705:
Yea, the regular x mount and the phablet mount won't touch the buttons. My wife has the normal sized one, me coming from the Note2 have the phablet sized one. Her's is suction cupped to the window by the driver side pillar, so she can tap the screen with her left hand while driving, comes in handy for waze. Mine is mounted to the longer arm in the little junk drawer under a single din stereo. I cut a chunk of wood to fit the slot and screwed one of the ball mounts to it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] acheney1990:
That looks pretty good. Two questions...is it easy to take the phone out of the holder... Like how does it open up to let the phone out? And what do they have for attachment options...like vent, suction?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] votum:
I've tried more than 10 different magnetic mounts. They are garbage for all phones.

They may work perfectly in the parking lot or on the smoothest roads in the world, but the second you go over a bump they slide around. Go through a pothole and have fun trying to get your phone out from under the seat.

Ram mounts are the best. I used them on motorcycles and bicycles for a long time, and I am going to go back to them for my truck as well.

Save yourself the trouble with the magnet mounts though, you eventually will not be happy with it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] waqar.qu:
In contrast to the above individual's comment on magnetic mounts, I've been using Mountek's magnetic car mount that is held in place by the CD drive for 2 years now. It's actually quite stable. I drive a Nissan rogue and the entire stand fell on me only once ever since I've owned it because it wasn't tightened into the CD drive properly. The magnets, however, hold on like glue.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Agreed. I've been using a Koomus magnetic mount for over a month and the phone have fallen off once. California potholes and all. My metal plate is even sealed in with a Dbrand vinyl, but it still works flawlessly. Anyone curious for pics and feedback of the said mount can find my review in my sig. There's more than one mount reviewed.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegrass55:
Been using the Mountek for N5, HTC M8,LG G4, One Plus 1,One Plus 2,Moto X Pure and now 6p ( removed back cover to insert metal plate.BTW not difficult to do) with no issues.

I fit it in the dashboard groove and not once has it fallen off.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
You took the back off the 6P?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bluegrass55:
Yes. Followed Ifixit

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+6P+Teardown/51660

It looks difficult but with patience it's easy. I could have used a phone cover and stuck the metal plate in between but like to the phone as is.

Doing the same thing on the HTC M8 was more difficult as it was easier to damage the volume buttons.

I have a 6p in a supcase unicorn beetle case and she has a galaxy s6 in an otterbox defender and the vent mount for both is rock solid. i really only use the iottie 3 when i use the a/c or for google maps. i have a nissan frontier and she has a hhr which i had to turn her vent upside down. it's always nice when your fiance gives you the "you win and your right on this one great idea line" lol. she was hell bent on no windshield mount. i personally like having both options for different needs. i wouldn't trust the vent holder with a charging cable probably though.
