    Best car dock for GNex with otterbox Defender case??

    Hey all,

    Living in Long Island and only having the option of classic rock stations which play good songs 20% of the time vs. top 40 stations which play something good 0% of the time, I'm in desperate need of some google music. I wish there was a car dock similar to the one motorola dropped for the OG droid, but I haven't found anything.

    I need something that will fit the gnex + the thickness of the otterbox defender case the dimensions height x width x thickness are as follows 5.67 in x 3.07 in x 0.77 in (144.0 mm x 78.0 mm x 19.6 mm for our non-US friends). The dock will be mounted above my cd deck (I have a flat vertical area that has a plastic disc stuck to it for suctioning). I'm looking for something that is sturdy and will lock into place - once it's in, it's not moving. My ideal dock would have ports for the 1/8" jack and charger, though this is not imperative.

    I have perused the proclip and am interested, but unsure if it's worth the money. Anyone out there want to share their experiences with these mounts?

    Thank you all in advance for taking the time to help me out!

    PS - if this helps, car dock is for a 2006 Ford Mustang GT

    I use this exogear exomount. Sticks to anything thats flat and doesnt have to be smooth either. I love it because I have new phones every couple months.

    Pretty cheap too.

    I heard mixed reviews on the exomount. Some say it's made of cheap plastic and shakes around a lot. Have you experienced that?

    Personally I love it. I live in NE PA with potholes and terrible roads so my alignment is always out of whack. I don't think this mount shakes anymore than any other mount I've ever had. Plus it's 20 bucks and holds anything. Yes it's plastic but I've never had a car dock that wasn't.

    If you have a CD slot look at the mountek. Just got it for my razr, it is very nice. does not suction to the windshield but rather slides into the cd player in your car but doesn't stop CD or dvds from playing. Fits great, holds tight, phone fits in vertically then can swivel horizontally. $20 Amazon or buy.com.

    Does the piece on the bottom of the mountek dock obstruct the charging or 1/8" ports?

    So, I have a RAZR and the charging port and headphone jack, etc are all at the top of the phone. So, I would imagine that if your charging ports are at the bottom, it would obstruct. The dock swivels horizontally side to side, could you put your Nexus in the Mountek dock upside down then just rotate with the mount (it doesn't swivel 360 degrees but if you are swiveling to horizontal position, does it matter if your phone is upside down)?

    Anyway, good luck to you.

    This dock is so great, it's one of those, I can't believe I didn't invent it myself kinda invention.
