Reddit mentions of Arkon SM410 Universal Windshield with Dashboard and Vent Mount for Smartphones and PDAs - Mount - Bulk Packaging - Black

Got an Android phone? DailyRoads is a good trip recorder and you can find universal mounts for your phone fairly cheaply.

Edit: link formatting

I have this Arkon from Amazon and it works pretty well for my EVO. It should work for larger phones as well. The mechanism is starting to wear out after a year and a half or so. I think I got it for $14, so I wouldn't mind paying that again if/when it wears out.

I got an Arkon SM410 for my Galaxy S3. Its been great. Gives you 3 different ways to attach the dock to your car. On amazon right now for ~$15 before shipping

I have one of those and it's great. The two side arms that hold the phone in are high enough that I can plug the charger into the phone with no problem. This is with my phone's case on. It grips the phone tight enough that I have no worries that it will fall out...

EDIT: I have a DX as well...

EDIT2: just cause I'm afraid I might get you to buy something that doesn't work ;)

This is the one I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ELOOZO
It's actually model number SM410. As I said above, I feel it's a great mount for my Droid X. Holds it great and has room for the charger.

tl;dr Great mount, highly suggested.

I have it. It's pretty awesome and handy. Just make sure you buy a good mount for your phone (this looks like a good one).

There's a "background mode" option, so you can use navigation apps while you're driving.

i've had an s4 for over a year. Here's how I did my major functions:

• HD Widgets, i paid for it and love it for a combined clock/weather app.
  
  
• Up Next widget to display my calender on a screen.
  
  
• Reddit Sync Dev - love this app for redditing
  
  
• Waze - As /u/thejeninator said, use it every time you drive even if you know where your going. it will direct you around traffic (most of the time). Use this in combination with http://amzn.com/B003ELOOZO which gives you 3 ways to mount the phone in your car. I use it everyday.
  
  
• MightyText - lets you send regular sms messages from android tablet or computer or gmail interface. i use it to text instead of AirDroid.
  
  
• Nova Launcher - replace the stock launcher for a faster and lighter interface, and turn on the feature to enable "ok google" from any screen.
  
  
• towelroot - use this to root, then make changes now available to you in nova launcher and install greenify to hibernate apps that want to run and waste your battery.
  
  
• google keep and it's widget - quick note taking app, nice widget, i use it to store quick things.
  
  
• titanium backup - once rooted, use it to freeze all the crap that's on there.
  
  
• DiskUsage - lets you see what files are taking up space visually. light program, and useful for finding where all your space went.
  
  
• I use dropbox to do camera uploads on wifi, faster and easier to manage that google+. i had issues with google+ uploading on 4G even when set to wifi only.

I'm currently using an Arkon SM410 Universal Windshield with Dashboard and Vent Mountt. It has slight shakiness if you don't squeeze it in tight enough. The mount has never fallen off my windshield. I have no complaints with it other than it's kinda loud when you press the hinge release button.

For the record, I do not recommend this Arkon mount. Seems nice—adjustable for any device, a variety of mounting options—but I have problems: the vent mounting is really sensitive, so in my car it spends its time just hanging there (i.e. at the end of the clips), and the lower mounting forks are only adjustable in—they're not wide enough for a freaking dock connector. (Cue me taking my Dremel to mine.) I can get pics if anyone wants.

I went for a cheap one that seemed to have it all, but if this one breaks I'll get a better quality one.

Thisis what I got. Im sure theres better out there, but this has lasted me well for almost a year. Also, they gave me a bobble head Cat in the Hat that I have since lost. :\

I have had this (http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-SM410-Universal-Windshield-Smartphones/dp/B003ELOOZO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1376569731&sr=8-12&keywords=galaxy+nexus+window+mount) for the past 3 smartphones I have used, GS1, GS2, and Galaxy Nexus.

Worked perfectly for all of them, and a myriad of other random friends smartphones. Cheap, reliable, and does not come off unless I want it to.

I bought one of these over a year ago and have been very happy with it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ELOOZO/?tag=tipsontech-20

I have two Arkon universal car mounts. They've served me well, and I specifically got them because they did not obstruct the camera. I use my smartphone as a dash cam, so that was important to me. YMMV, of course, since every device is different, but since it's a universal mount, you can easily adjust it to provide a clear view for the camera.

It holds tight--I've tested it by mounting my Nexus One in it, holding it upside down (over a pillow), and shaking. The N1 stayed firmly gripped.

I have two, because one is mounted to a smooth, suction-cup plate on my car's dash board, and the other one is mounted to a weighted friction base, which I use as a desktop phone stand. Pic 1, and Pic 2.
