Was wondering if there was a car mount for this bad boy? I know ram makes a good car mount for the ipad, but im not sure if their cradle is adjustable because even though this is 10" i dont think it has the same shape haha..
i been looking at this one Car Mount it's adjustable so it might just work.
I was looking at that one eluminx. It didn't seem to get a good rating. Another one I came across was from the UK amazon site. I haven't looked for it on US site yet. Here's a link... http://www.amazon.co.uk/ULTIMATEADDONS-Mount-Holder-Medion-Netbook/dp/B003CI7Y74

Check mountguys.com, they have one for an android tablet, looks to be adjustable
I plan on using a sheet of Kydex to form around my gtab and canibalizing an old suction mount to mount it on. Then I can get those little adhesive suction discs and affix it once I find the best location.

How do you mount this bad boy to the windshield?
I ordered this one. It's for an Eee pc but it should work.

honestly i think that the gtab in the car would be pretty damn cool to use, however i think it just MIGHT be an obstruction of view if you guys were to get the windshield mounts for the tab, believe you will def get a few tickets for that from the local cops looking to meet 'quotas'. maybe if there was something where you can dock it say where the lighter is or in the middle console somehow but on the windshield prob isnt the best place for it, just my 2 cents

I agree, big time! I plan on mounting mine lower in my work van. I also plan on "fabricating" some sort of recessed dock type enclosure in my truck. I had plans for a carputer but I think a gtab dock would be way more convenient....and way sweeter!
Hoping to tap the knowledge of the guys at this forum. They build some awesome setups here. I know this isn't for the average person, but I am already half way there in my vehicle.

I bought one of these iPad suction cup mounts from some random site on BensBargains.net and use it with a beanbag friction dash mount... on my desk. The setup is just too large and cumbersome to be placed on the dashboard. Not to mention the ball head mechanism never seems to get tight enough to hold the tablet steady when I touch anything on either the extreme left or right of the tab.

I have been looking around for a sturdy phone holder that suctions to the car windshield to hold my phone when I am using google maps and gps. I have seen quite a few but Im just wondering if anyone has had experience with any in particular.

Hello. I'm in Florida and have purchased a few different windshield mounts that well i paid 19.99 and it was JUNK. Granted this was from all the local places. Usually the heat just warps the suction cup and poof no good anymore. Have you noticed if this is happening with yours?

Can you rotate and use it Horizontally? For the occasional MP4 TV shows...
Remember California limited windsheild mount items (that were totallly banned before, but everyone was doing it and cops were not enforcing it) to the lower left corner only I think a 5"x5" area (so they can give tickets to center mount items now! so watch out!)

By the way, why did it go from $20.94 to $28.16?? because the picture changed? its the same item!! I bought one of these suction cup things with custom mount/quadhook for a MIO GPS for $9.99 shipped and it was a very quality built. This one sounds like its triple priced item.
I got mine. I paid about $20 for it and it looks pretty sturdy. I stuck it to the windshield yesterday evening and locked it in place. When I got in this monring, it had fallen off. I will clean the glass placement area, wet the suction cup and retry.
I did set my phone in it and go for a drive. It can hold the phone in portrait and landscape...good with auto-rotate. Overall, I like it.
I just can't trust them. Mine always seems to fall off.
Maybe a vent clip would end my worries?
Mine never has fallen off. like i said i love this one.
For the ones that keeep falling off, try moistening slightly the cup before you stick it to the windshield.

Glad you found it useful. It's made my tablet much more enjoyable.
My dock just arrived, but I like this for when the docks not needed (charging, HDMI out, ethernet). the dock has a fixed angle. I can muve the suction cup up or down and modify the angle as I like or the situation dictates.

If you lok at the picture you might notice I don't just grab the holder. My hand is under the tablet with my thumb or fingers around it. I can comfortably hold it with one hand this way.
As a stand, even if the suction cups came loose, it would be a big deal.
If left on for a long time eventually they will come loose. I only put it on when I'm using it and it if fairly sturdy. But yes... due care is in order.
I bought a garmin suction cup holder on e-bay for $ 6 delivered. Works perfectly!
Great idea.
Getting mine from ebay as well, $3, that's crazy.
Been wracking my brain trying to come up with some sort of stand i liked, and this was it, great idea.
I have the carbon covering on the back. I'm suspecting the suction won't work, anyone can confirm? Thanks.

Do you think that one of these things would be sturdy enough to hold during a car ride? Im contemplating using my old GPS suction mount as an alternative as you recommended.... My idea would be to have the side that is used usually on the GPS to be screwed into existing holes in my car.... I have a fairly comfortable non-bumpy ride (Yukon) so, it's got me thinking....

Hummm... It may, at least for a while.
Honestly there is a change it would lose suction at some point and end up falling. So it's up to you.
Ive ordered some of the carbon fiber for the back of the tablet, im just concidering that if im going to stick this carbon fiber on the back, perhaps i could maybe put a hole in it and incert some sort of bracket, or clip, that i could connect a mount or stand too, if the gtab had some sort of connection on the back, even if it was just some sort of sleeve for a mount to slid into, would make it easy to make a stand, and have some sort of car mount, what do you guys think about this idea ?
i don't have anything on the back of my tab, but can't get the suction cup to stay more than a few minutes. are you using something to hold it in place other than suction?

Maybe you have a bad suction cup. Male sure it clean.Wipe both surfaces with a damp cloth.

I predict that it won't be long before you have a vent ripped out of your car and a tablet on the floor. These things are pretty heavy. Cell phone from a vent, ok.. Tablet? Not me...
I would love to have a mount in my truck for the gtablet. The cops might get a little curious if you did a windshield mount .
Has anybody bought a car mount yet? I'm looking for one that fits the tab even if I have to modify the base.
I bought one from Amazon but it only came with the window mount part. I used the part that holds the tab and secured it to my visor with some Velcro straps. Works well and I can flip it down to use or flip it up to drive.

I purchased this and in the description it states you can mount it to the ac vent. I sent an email to the sender because I did not see how this could attach to a vent and they refunded the money. The grip part holds the Gtab great. I Bought a yoga mat holder from walmart for 5$ to hold it to the visor.

I don't think that would work well. These tablets are too heavy to be held up safely with an air vent. The best solution would be a cup holder mount.

I like this too, but I have a power passenger seat in my coupe and when you forward the back rest to enter the rear seat, the power see automatically slides forward. I am afraid it will push and bend the arm up against the dash as it does not look like it is very long.

Hi Wounded.
Got the mount this morning. All I can say is, well worth the money. It has a long flexible stem, idea for long dashboards. Twin suction cups. The part where you put your transformer is removeable, leaving just the suction cups and stem in place. Came very well packaged and fast delivery.
I will post some pics tommmorrow. Works very well with Sygic. I plug mine in via 3.5mm jack lead to stereo and wifi tethered to phone.

That would be an issue here in the UK as it is in front of the heater grill and we need that grill for heating here, not air con,lol, thus it would heat up the Eeepad (not good)
Thats a good point about the heaters...but it depends where they are situated. The OP's setup would have the same issue if the vents were in the same spot.

I see what your saying here, and thought about this very issue when initially deciding where to place mine. I have now settled on a pretty central location with the base of the TF just above the display of the stereo. Vision is good, no obstructions. Having used it for a couple of days, I have now gone off the idea of using Sygic for Satnav and have changed to Co-Pilot and to be fair, seems to be working alot better. I was finding Sygic to be slightly behind when driving, not a great deal, but for a picky person like me, it was enough.

I got this one from ebay here.
I have tried this on most road surfaces: Tarmac, concrete, off road(I mean really bad roads). Not had a moments bother. The dual suction cup works really well. Added bonus of being able to remove the part which you put your TF in and leave the stem still attached. The stem is bendable, but stiff so not to move whilst holding the TF.
Like I said, very happy with it and worth the money imho.

THanks for the reply and link! Can you explain how the mount works, or make a photo of it without the asus in it? because it looks like there is no support on the bottom of the device? and how do you clip it in? Hope you can help me buy one
i don't think I would trust suction cups in general. Back when I had an Ipad 2 I picked up a mount that attached to the car seat. You basically loosen a bolt, and it mounts in between the bolt and the seat, you tighten it back up and that's it! After I picked up my tf I tried it out in my car and it works perfecttly. I guess I can't link yet.. but I found mine at mount guys dot com, but I've seen similar ones elsewhere.

Here you go, a couple more pics.
The mount itself isn't just designed for the TF. I think it is universal. The sides are adjustable and release the TF via the switch underneath.
Seg
I'm in the market for a low-profile horizontal mount for my i717 Note, but I'm not having much luck finding one.
The reason I need a low-profile mount is because I drive a Jeep Wrangler that has a very high dashboard. I purchased the Exomount seen HERE, and it holds the Note just fine; however, it stands up way too high and therefore blocks too much of my windshield.
The two low-profile options I'm considering (so far) are:
1. ME-USDM: i.Trek Universal Dashboard Mount
CONCERN: The clamp may not open up wide enough to hold the Note? (The description and comments indicate that it may only work with screens up to 5" -- such as the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0)
2. Roadster Smartphone Sticky Pad Dash Mount
CONCERN: The right and left vertical sides may block a small portion of the screen since the Note's screen is much wider than the iPhone screen in the pictures.
Does anyone have any experience with low-profile mounts like these? Better yet, does anyone have a recommendation for something even better?
Or maybe someone with a Jeep has found an even better idea?
Thanks ahead of time!
What year Wrangler? You running a case?
I've got a Speck case on my Note and was able to modify my SlipGrip mount to work with it... just a quick Dremel mod and I was ready to go.

Similar to this one, works good in both my late model XJ and my TJ. without blocking too much windshield.

Similar to this one, works good in both my late model XJ and my TJ. without blocking too much windshield.

I have a 2010 JK 4Dr Sahara. Where did you end up mounting that modified SlipGrip?

I was looking at the air vent mounts, but I'm worried they might bounce around too much in a Jeep (not exactly the smoothest rides! lol) How stable is it?
Have you looked at Mountek's nGroove CD Slot Mount I just ordered one since I dont ready ever play CDs.

Unfortunately, my CD/DVD slot is hidden behind the face of my nav-screen, so those aren't really an option.

The second one doesn't need a CD slot it can be mounted anywhere on the dash.

Stable enough for me but I can defiantly see it bouncing around in a Jeep. You might have want to see if proclip has anything for you.

Proclip has one for a wrangler that I am planning on ordering... Just Google it.
Sent from my big ass Galaxy Note via Tapatalk. Wurd.

Damn, you're right... that second one looks like it might just work. I like it!

Proclip does have a nice one, but it's definitely on the expensive side. I'm still considering it though.
Thanks for all the ideas so far guys, I appreciate it!

Can you study the pictures in that second Ebay listing and tell me if you think the clamp that actually holds the phone is adjustable? The pictures that show the clamp empty make it look like they're at a fixed width -- I think -- which may mean the Note wouldn't fit tight... I really can't tell.
What do you think? I guess I can also email them and ask.

Well I did a little more digging and your right that one wouldn't work for you at its full opening and full closing it wouldn't work with the over size beast that we carry LOL but the one that is made for the larger tablet looks like it would. The Note is about 153mm tall no case and this closes to 150mm so if you have a case it will be even tighter.

Then I ran across this video on you tube and I think you were already talking about buying one of these but it looked like it worked really well.

This is what I've been using for the past four years (I'm on my third one). The mount is somewhat cheaply made. The first one was broken and left behind by somedouche that broke into my car. The second one I had broke the gears on the inside that lock/unlock the device in place after about a year and a half.. so they're not the sturdiest things ever made. But I still bought another one because the placement is perfect for me in my WRX (and they're not that expensive).
It might bounce a little, but honestly, my car probably rides rougher than your Jeep since it's lowered with aftermarket struts set on the next to stiffest setting. I don't really have any issues with the device moving/bouncing around.
I can take some pics if you want..

Bottom of the windshield, has just enough reach to get the phone over the front of center stack. Phone ends up maybe 1/3 in front of the vent, 2/3 above the dash.

over2land is actually talking about modifying a "Slipgrip," while the video is of the "SlimGrip"... and I definitely like the looks of the one in the video!
I think I'm going to grab that one and see if it works as well as it does in the video.
Wish me luck!
Edit: Just ordered the SlimGrip SM578 from here:
