Does anyone know of any gps mounts that fits perfect with the otterbox defender case? Thanks.

I just cut the clips off a Garmin GPS mount, cut the clip off the Otterbox belt holster, and epoxied the two together. So far it's working well for me, though I never used the belt holster in the first place.

Funny that website actually inspired me. I forgot I had a broken otterbox belt clip and an extra garmin gps mount. So I combine the two with some reinforced industrial strength glue. It also fits snug without the glue. So the glue added that extra seal. Saved $30. Here's some pic's. Thanks it really got me to think..

I love my speck case but there's no way i can take it on and off my Note everytime i go somewhere. Anyone know of a car mount that will fit mid size cases??

Doesn't have to be specifically a speck case, just something with extra room..
Universal or phone specific? I use a Bracketron universal holder fitted to a cupholder mount. They also have suction cup for windshield/ dashboard mounts as well as vent mounts. They sell at BB and a few others. Typically around $30 or so. Mine expands very wide and should have no issues fitting the Note with any case on it.

Here is the mount in my current configuration:
It might be rotated but you'll get the idea.

Wow that's exactly what i need. Can i get a link to the piece the holds the note itself? And are the suction cups/ cup mounts interchangeable?

Might want to give this one a look:

Just ordered the Exomount Universal. Should have it in a few days. Had to order it with a Galaxy Nexus screen protector and case plus car charger since everyone is sold out of the black mount only. Still cheaper off Amazon than direct from Exogear and whatever I sell the extra stuff for makes the mount even cheaper= win.

I actually dislike my speck case. I cabt take it off without scratching my phone and it hates my zagg screen protector

How does it scratch the phone? Or are you just having a hard time getting it pulled off?
Anyways...I bought http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grip-IT-Vent-Mount-Kit/20451899 this mount last Christmas on a roadtrip to hold my Inspire 4g in a CaseMate.
It holds my note just fine as well. Mounts in my vent, all buttons/ports are accessible, very adjustable, rotates for landscape just fine.
Depending on your vents it may work pretty well. It worked fine in my gfs focus, and is perfect in my jeep. Yes it fits my note with speck with room to spare.

I'm looking for a holster with a clip to fit the commuter series for the photon. I didn't want the defender or the bs case clip combo sprint sells.
This case is perfect for me. Just missing a clip.
Thought about getting a metal clip and mounting it to the case itself.

Nite Ize has a holster that will fit. It's the cargo wide holster. It's tough and holds it really secure, works perfectly for my photon in a trident case, which is a bit bigger than the commuter.

Link? That sounds perfect.

I was looking for the exact same thing. I took a chance on the Seidio HLMTPHTASA Active Holster. It fits perfectly!
Here it is on Amazon.com
Which case is the best?

Haven't tried the seidio case but the defender is better than commuter by far. Offers more protection imo
So true man. I only buy the defender.

i too use otterbox defender.. but its too bulky but worth it
Ballistic is sick. Got a 5 layer protection against water . Dirt. And of course crashes or smashes. The outer rubber protects your usb charge, Jack. Camera buttons .making it waterproof (or at least for some time, before u take it out lol) . Price is ONLY....$25! got mine for $20

I have been using Seidio HEV3D case.... Love it. Thin case with good protection and the included kickstand is just gravy!
I like the defender but the edge is too close to the screen making certain keys hard to hit on keyboard.

Just put in my order for the Otterbox Defender Hopefully I'll be satisfied

Ok so my Otterbox Defender just came and I love it! I do, however, have one problem with it. The attracted screen protectorgives the screen an oily look that is really frustrating to look at. Does anyone know how to fix this? What have you all done?

Hey guys!
Im looking to get the Note on a concession line from my job (That or the S3, and I have a serious love for the note) and have been looking around for some fun accessories before I take the plunge. Im curious, is there an aluminum back cover for the I717 note, or is it specific to the international variant?
Also, any case recommendations would be great. Im leaning toward the Kraken because of the durability and belt clip...Im just a little concerned about the size. Ive had trident before and cred them whenever possible. They have fantastic products. Thanks!
You could get a glass screen protector and a tpu case if thickness gets you. I have an otter box right now and its easily 2x as thick

No good bat covers like that for ours... Try a sweet armor bumper its alum.i got it and its sweet

Our Note has an NFC antenna in the convert that would be shielded by metal. ICS enabled NFC.

I've got a Trident case for mine. They offer a lot of protection but not as bulky as otter box. Reasonable on the price as well.
so my question is will the battery cover fit? because i don't really care about the NFC function.
Maybe it's just me... But I found most cases to be very slippery on the sides. One week now and no problems.... Solution 3m anti sIip tape transparent. You can see from the side shot almost impossible to see the tape. Give great grip and adds no bulk etc.... If I had the nerve I would use it on the bare phone. It sticks on all the classes I have and does not collect dust.

It's sound good, how about this?
Still great... No signs of wear.... With I could find a thin case with grips on the sides

I have this case and it's beautiful, thin and not slippery. Quicksand Case - Note 3
I got mine for $3 shipped and it's got a bit of bend to it so that it's durable. I highly recommend as a backup or even daily driver if you're into thin cases.

I have used this method on my s3 aluminum bumpers and it worked awesome but i used black floor traction tape cut into thin pieces to go around the edges
I'm just wondering, will the 3M tape leave a sticky residue if it is taken off?
