Otterbox commuter case with car mount?

I just got a Droid X, and I'd really like to get the Otterbox commuter case. Does anyone know for sure whether it is compatible with a vehicle mount? Otterbox website says no, but the rep at the VzW store says that car mounts have a removable insert that allows it to work. I'd appreciate any info, especially the exact model of the car mount (if any) that works with the Otterbox. Thanks!

With a little creativity and a dremel tool I was able to get the DX in the shell/holster case that Verizon sells to work. I originally had the silicone sleeve on it and it was a tight squeeze to make it work in the car dock. But me being me I wanted something that was going to add more protection for the phone and a belt clip. Took a little trial and error but now I have the best of both worlds. ..

Is 30pin to lightning adaptor will fit on otterbox commuter case??

Is 30pin to lightning adaptor will fit on otterbox commuter case??

Yeah, it doesn't look like much, but I'm leaving in the player dock and you can't see it when it's plugged in. Better than taking case on/off all the time. I didn't wanna cut my case because I don't think there'll be enough of it left to hold together very long. Good luck with yours! I wish ape would have just included a little extension stub with their adapter.

Has anyone used an Otterbox Commuter Case for the iphone 4s on an iphone 4?

I want to get a new case for my iphone 4 and have previously had an Otterbox Commuter Case which I loved due to it's dust covers for the headphone and charger sockets. I much prefer the look of the new commuter case for the 4s around the camera and flash over the one for the 4 and was wondering whether anyone had put their 4 into the 4s case?
If so, is it ok?
Is there another similar case that has the plugs for the sockets that I'm not aware of?
Thanks, Niki

You can put your iPhone 4 in a 4S case and it will work just fine. You shouldn't put a 4S in a 4 case (like the Otter Commuter) since the camera sensors are different.

IPhone 4 with Otterbox Commuter Case...Do any third party docks work???

Hello, I have a Otterbox Commuter on my iPhone 4. Does anyone know of any docks that will allow me to charge my iPhone with its case on? I appreciate any advice!!

Yes, the ZOOM mic works on the new macbook AIR, ...I have lots of mics, Ive used its jack to plug in. MOST of the sony external mics plug in NOT thru the mic jack, but via USB.
The PRO mics, most, plug in via USB, not the headphone/mic jack.
SONY ICD-SX712 is a great choice (best "cheap" mic ive found)
here is the ZOOM H2N:

Good iphone car mount that works with case?

I need a car mount for my iPhone so that I can use the phone's GPS app. I've looked around and so far I can only find mounts that work for iPhones without any case.
I would rather not have to remove the case everytime I got in my car, so are there any recommended mounts out there that work for phones with cases?
Thanks!

Griffin makes an FM/lighter mounted model, which has several bottom mounting brackets, to fit several phone models. I tested it out today, but the ipod buttons on the model don't work correctly, and FM was spotty to awful, as always on these type of setups. It did hold my naked cellphone well, and wish it had worked as advertised - cost about $100 at Best Buy.
Belking has a similar model (about $70 at Best Buy), without the FM transmitter, also on a lighter stalk, which may work, since it grips the top of the phone with a wider clip, made to adapt to case thicknesses, I presume. I have not tried out this model, but may do so, since I have never found a single FM transmitter that works well - too much static, fading in and out, etc.
Is there anyone who can recommend a lighter mounted (on a flexible stalk) charger for the iphone, that has a stalk long enough to accommodate any rental car, I would very much appreciate it.

Best car mount for iPhone WITH case

ive tried car mounts in the past and some worked fine...until I got a case for my iphone. lots of mounts have custom fitting so that it will fit the naked iphone just fine, but i need one that works with my case on it. so i guess just an adjustable one would be good...being able to turn it to landscape would be nice as well. anyone have suggestions?

yeah but this is a custom holder for a "snug" fit...which is my problem. snug fit = doesn't fit if you have a case around your iphone. so i need one thats adjustable. im looking on amazon now and some of the reviews are so-so...so i was just wondering if there was a definitive iphone case out there.

Best Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6

I'm looking for the Best Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6, any suggestions?

Easy, Arkon's Mobile Grip 2 has already been named "best smartphone mount" by a number of other sites. The MG279 is the one I use.
http://www.arkon.com/mobile-grip/iphone-smartphone-windshield-dashboard-car-moun t-holder-MG279.html
Fits the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, even if you're using a large Otterbox, Trident Case, Incipio Case, or other case. Comes with a 2-year warranty. Easy to use, spring-loaded holder. Also features a 1/4"-20 threaded tripod pattern on the side of the holder so that you can take it off the mount and then use your iPhone 6 on any camera tripod. I love that feature! Less than $20 bucks... 4.5 star rated on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Windshield-Smartphone-iPhone-Samsung/dp/B00I58VAZS/r ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411326809&sr=8-1&keywords=MG279

Phone Car Mounts for Frequent Traveler / Rental?

http://www.proclipusa.com

I travel quite a bit for work and have been looking around for a car mount that can be transferred to different rental vehicles. During a busy month, I might be in a different vehicle each week (more than some, definitely less than the hardcore traveler). Just wanted to ping the forum to see what others in this situation do. I can't be the first one with this issue.I've been playing around with different configurations and was wondering what others were using. I grabbedthis inexpensive magnetic mountwhen it was on special last week, and it seems fine except that I don'twant to stick a magnet to my phone and don't use a case.Possible solution: use aneasily removable caseon the road. Any suggestions here? Maybe silicone that can beeasily popped on and off when I get in the car? Then stick the magnet to the inside of that. Maybe.Just saw...

Iphone 5 Otterbox Defender Case...Only Black?

So they are showing an otterbox defender case for the Iphone 5 on verizons website but the only color is black, but right below the description they show part numbers for the other colors. Any reason they are not offering the other colors yet, they are all over the otterbox site already and i get a good discount here at verizon that i would like to take advantage of.

I preordered mine from Otterbox. They sent an email last week and I ordered immediately. I liked the color (aqua) and I got the commuter series (I had the Defender, but it is way to bulky for me). I think it is worth it not to deal with the hassle of a store unless you live in an area where you think there will be a good supply. Good luck.

I Need a Car Mount That WORKS!!

I've been through two car mounts...the iOttie that Apple.com sells, and another bought at BestBuy. Both encountered the same problem in my car...
I need the mount to stick to a plastic surface that is curved. My first failed attempt had a sticky suction cup...it was not sticky enough and the suction cup does not work on plastic.
I'm desperately trying to find a good solution...any recommendations?

HI Peter,
I would recommend the Tackform Ultra Grip.. One thing I want to point out is that most of the quality sticky suction cups will still stick to a slightly curved surface. The issue many people run into is that the actual dashboard material is porous and over a few hours or days the air slowly seeps through and you lose suction. In this case there really wouldn't be a good direct to dash suction cup solution for you.. The Tackform Ultra Grip comes with an additional 3M pad that you can use first but many people don't like putting any type of adhesive on your dash.
If you're looking for solid. The Ultra Grip locks on super tight to surfaces. It has a bigger suction cup than most mounts out there.

Best iphone car mount for new VW beetle

trying to figure out what is the best solution for iphone car mount

ProClips is expensive and yuo need to buy two different parts. I am not driving a brand new car and when I change cars this is a big investment in something that wil only work with VW beetle.
BUT I found the PERFECT SOLUTION aqnd wanted to share with all.
This car mount is adjustable and will work well with the iphone in a case too. It has a low profle and easily removed from car to car too.
It is mountable on windshield or on the dash and that is where I mounted it right in between my two air vents and just above radio on my beetle. From here it is easily viewiable and accessable tor my charger & for plugging into car speaker system.
Best thing is the price......under $20 with shipping. Okay, what is it.....IOTTIE.
You can view some utube videos of this thing too if you want. I love mine!

Otterbox Defender case available

Has anyone purchased this case yet?
Does anyone know if Verizon will carry this case?

I just got off the phone with a rep in the local VZW store. She didn't say for sure, but it sounded like she said she found a product code number for the Thuderbolt Otterbox Defender case in there system. None of the stores within 100 miles had the case currently but she took my information so she could call when it does show up.
She sounded pretty confident that they would be carrying the case, and it is just a matter of time before they have it in stock.
They do care some Otterbox cases for a few of the phones they have. All I can find on the web site are BlackBerry otterbox cases, but they do cary the brand.
I do like the Seido case, especially since it works with the extended battery, however, I like the Otterbox better because of the built in screen protector. It offers a little better protection against the elements than the Seido case. I can use my phone outside when it is raining without fear of rain getting down around the screen and into the phone as easily (still have to be careful of moisture regardless).
I also use the standard battery most of the time anyway. My normal routine has me pretty close to power when I need it. I also don't have as big of a problem with battery life as it seems many others are having.
With the standard battery I get 10 to 12 hours of standby/light to moderate use. If I am surfing the web or using the phone more heavily the battery life drops but I generally get at least 4 to 6 hours out of it.
If I use the phone heavily that drops to around 2 to 2.5 hours but I rarely use my phone that heavily.
I have the extended battery as a backup. I know I'll find times that I need to use that extra power and in those cases I'll simply have to strip the case off the phone and use it naked until I can get the standard battery charged back up. I accept that as a acceptable downside of having a laptop in my pocket at all times...
And on top of it, I get a nice discount on accessories through the company I work for so the price is right in my range for the items VZW carries....

Otterbox defender case sometimes prevents touch screen operation

My Droid charge screen goes black during or at the end of a phone call and no amount of touching the screen or pushing the buttons on the phone anywhere makes any difference. I have to take the rubber covering off and open the Otterbox case to get the screen to light back up. Everything on the screen is exactly where it would have been without the case when I do this and I can close the phone conversation and get the phone back to the main screen, then put it all back together in the case again. I could understand if the Otterbox screen was too thick to allow me to touch the phone pad keys on the screen, but why can't any of the external buttons override this for me? It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to make it somewhat annoying, as the phone call remains connected until I get thru the process of removing it from the case. Someone on the other end has probably been the recipient of some carefully chosen epithets as I struggled to get the phone call disconnected from my end, I'm sure.
I'm happy with this phone, don't get me wrong, but I need to know if anyone else has had this experience and how they are dealing with it. I have to use the phone in my construction work, so the Otterbox is also a necessity.

Has anyone else had trouble with screen sensitivity on the Otterbox Defender case for the iPhone 3GS? I've had mine on for a few days and have a hard time getting the screen to respond when I try to touch buttons on the edges of the screen.
Are you saying that removing the phone from the Otterbox solves this problem? Very strange, if so.

Im looking for a case with a built in screen protector Help

Im looking for a case, thats semi-slim, with a built in screen protector, and possibly waterproof.
any suggestions

I think if your looking for that kind of protection its pretty much going to add bulk...I've searched through hundreds of cases and those are the smallest with built in screen protectors...im 5' tall 100lbs and the ballistic fits in my pocket comfortably...I've never seen an otterbox on one so I can't truly compare them...I know I found a leather flip front case with a screen protector on Amazon too...very little protection and far from waterproof though...they have baggy kind of things that are waterproof that you can use your phone through...I don't know if it would fit in with any kind of case on it though
