Exomount Phone and GPS Mount

[Maddog2020]

I've been looking for a decent phone mount, I used a suction cup mounts before for my GPS but it would frequently come loose. I found this one for $20, it claims to be the "World's Best Suction". Once I got it I found several places it seems to hold on great. I have a Razr with several buttons on the side, but with this one I can adjust where it clips on the phone and it seems to hold well and not interfer with the buttons. The way it clips allows it to work on almost any phone or GPS.

Below are some pics of some of the spots I tried.

Here is a link to the company that makes it. The video shows how well it sticks.

Nice, I just went from the droid x2 to a razr and may have to look into this mount. Seems like it holds the phone well, how strong are the clamps? I just watched the demo video on the site. Pretty impressive, especially how it can be reversiable and the suction cup can hold the device.

here is an idea. to start off i put in a hidden cigarette lighter that hides under the dash, then i routed a charger wire through the meaningless "card" holder. then i made a custom mount to hold the phone. i cant take a pic with my phone on it at the moment. also with a different size holder i hold my garmin gps this way too.

Maddog! I think you just ended the search for my phone/gps mount!

Can you do me a favor and see how it works being mounted in the cubby holes at the top middle of the dash? A pic would be awesome.

What did use to make your custom insert into the card holder?

Law, I use that usless card holder every morning. I stick my military id in it before getting to the gate so I'm not having to dig my wallet out of my back pocket while in stop and go traffic to get to the check point.

nice ideas here! For my phone mount Verizon actually had some good options, the long one was great for my autocross vids and was about par in price with yours.

the official moto dock is nice too

sorry im not in the military haha. i used 1/8 inch aluminum with a even skinnier piece sandwiched on top of it. its what i had sitting around. then i just did a 90 degree bend on the thinner piece and simply mounted it on. if you take apart the dash you can see how the card holder works. so i cut a hole in it to place the charging cord and utilized the inner spring to hold my sandwich haha

How hard was it to pull that panel ? Looks like a good idea

Thanks! The clamp is strong enough to hold the phone or GPS well, but I couldn't find anything in the Sonic to clamp it to.

I'll try it in the morning and let you know. I'm assuming you mean the holes I'm pointing at in the thumb nail?

Yes, those holes! Thanks man.

Yeah, if I didn't have to pull out an id to get to work everyday it wouldn't be useful to me either.

I put my debit card in it when I'm going to get Taco Bell.

Hey Sean, I tried to put the mount into the cubby holes without success. It's close but If you could get it to mount there, the clips won't open. I've decided just to the right of the shifter works best for me. It puts the phone super close to where my hand is anyway (see thumbnail).

This mount seems to work for the cubby.

Thanks for trying. I wonder if it will mount after the cell is attached. I found the mount on amazon for $19, so I may try it out anyway.

I don't think it will work even if you mount the phone 1st. With free shipping $19 is a good price. I think you will like it, I know I do. No more fumbling for my phone. I may order another one for my wifes car (2011 Malibu).
