Dear Axoners,
This is my project for an Axon7 holder to be used (and abused) on the Honda XRV 750.
First of all thanks to:
1) Geul for his Iphone holder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2855804
I simply started form his project and I've made the mods for the Axon7 and some other little changes.
2) Choose an username... for his grids in STL format, I've used them to build a full Axon7 in STL format.
I have to be honest, I still did not 3D print the holder, so I don't know if it works or not, I will, but I don't know when, where or why, if someone want to waste 1/2 kg of plastic and 3D print it as prototype I will be curious to see the result.
The holder do not fit perfectly the Axon, that's why I want to lay the internal surfaces by a thin substrate of soft rubber, to avoid shocks and to limit vibrations, or at least these are my intentions.
I thought to use a GoPro Screw holder, you can find some cheap clones on Aliexpress.
Why the holder has been made for the XRV 750? Because I own a XRV 750.
Holder is not waterproof, maybe I will develop it or not, I can't promise.
In the files there is an Axon7 STL model, I used it to make the project but it's not necessary to print it.
Enjoy it if you can
Slán!
Good job well done looks cool!

i go every day to the gym and i always leave my kaiser around...
but today an idiot risked to take seat right above my loved device!
so...
i wonder if there is a case designed for who does a lot of exercise someone knows?
Just purchase a cheap cell phone and use it with the same phone number. You don't really need the Kaiser for such occasions.
I too would be interested. Been looking along time for something and never really found one. A while ago someone suggested an Iphone arm band case (can be found at any big box store) but it just does not look "thick" enough for our phone. anyone else?
Wristband
Go to ebay and search Iconnect, they have a nice wrist band for $5.11 with shipping!!! I use it at the gym and fits my phone snuggly and no issues Very satisfied.
Alternatively have a look for Krusell - the offer various options including wrist bands for their leather cases. I use their bike mount - it is top quality.
For the Kaiser you can use

in combination with e.g.

and personally i recommend using the spring clip (http://www.krusell.se/productMulti.php?productID=2562&category=29) instead of the included swivel knob.
It is not especially cheap - but it is certainly quality.

I use an ipod armband case, and it works perfectly. The case is designed for a classic ipod, but fits the kaiser just fine. I put my kaiser in the case before I go to the gym, watch videos on it while I'm on the elliptical, and then strap it on my arm and listen to mp3s while I'm doing weights. There's a plastic cover over the screen, but I can still use the touch screen to change video or audio settings.
hi,

Here you can find a car holder

I use the cheap car kit from Wilkinson's in the UK which holds the phone really well, and I have a Motorola mini usb charger for in the car too.
Try the one from Clas Ohlson. Works really good as long as you dont need the keyboard.
BE CAREFUL!
The Brodit holder is Scratching the X1's chrome frame!!!
I've used only twice and already there are two little black spot on the both side. Not worth it!
Hmm I have the Brodit active holder in backorder..
Are there more people experiencing the scratching problem?
Is there a good alternative carholder?
I am just using the Nokia Universal Holder CR-39 with the Easy Mount HH-12 that mounts on my windscreen. Some people might not like it but it is a pretty good solution for me.
I bought it when I had the Nokia n95 phone (used it for 1 year already) but it holds many phone perfectly (imate JASJAM, n95 that I have tried)
The x1 is not exception too, and it shouldn't cause any scratch since there is some soft foam on the side of the "holder".
Only down side is it might be relatively expensive compared to other kit.
I don't like the windshield mounts.
The Brodit is perfect because it's mountable on your dashboard without scratching it. And you can use the keyboard while it's in the holder.
I'm afraid there isn't an alternative.. So I hope the Brodit scratching problem is a hoax (maybe the person using it wasn't very carefull?)
I'm getting mine from brodit on thursday. I really hope it doesn't scratch the chrome and that it was just that one holder that's defect.
I'll let you know if there are scratch tendensies..
I got my Brodit today and installed in my car.. and I can say it doesn't leave scratches on my phone.
Idon't se any scratches on my phone yet, and I've been quite brutal dragging the phone in and out of the holder alot. I would like to see how big the actual scratches are. Can vax6 post any pics of the damage?
Can you order directly from Brodit ?
I would second the choice of brodit.
the problem for me though, is that I change phone frequently, so it's not economical for me to get a new brodit holder every time I change phone , so what I did was get my old ipaq 6965 holder, and add padding to the side of it, and the thickness will vary depending on the phone I have, and I have a OEM looking holder w/o having to spend a bomb each time I change the phone. (although, I reckon not changing phone so often would be the solution)
Brodit holder
I haven't notoced any scratching on phone although I have thought that it is a tighter fit than brodit holders I have had for other phones. The other flaw is that the holder covers the speakerphone which is not the loudest in the world on the X1 anyway.
I'm shopping for a new car mount. I want something with a suction cup that sticks to the windshield or dash - not looking for a vent or cup mount.
I've been looking around at several models, but most of them seem to fit poorly for a Fuze - sides covering volume/PTT buttons & back covering the rear speaker.
I use my Fuze as a GPS device in landscape mode. I'd like a holder that doesn't cover any hardware buttons or the rear speaker. I also use a case once in awhile but not always - so the width should be adjustable.
I have the suction cup mounted type and did not like it.. they seem to wobble/vibrate more than the vent mount ones.. also car theifs will break into you car if they see thesuction mount thing on your dash, as they assume whatever goes on it is still in the car... jsut a warning.. you locat people to not use that type in the Milwaukee area... if you do decide to get the vent mount... Target sells one at the stores for $15 that works well... quick release button and all that... decent quality too (not cheap feeling like some are)
Thank you for your response, you bring up some important things to consider.
I have tried vent clips, but in my vehicle the weight of the phone causes the screen to point downwards.
My wife bought me a universal holder, which the vendor said is compatible with the Fuze. It mounts to the windshield, has a long gooseneck and the holder barely fits the fuze w/o a case. It blocks the rear speaker and the sides cover the volume/PTT buttons.
One nice thing it came with was a disc the size of the suction cup, with some very thick sticky tape on the bottom. While the disc isn't really pretty, it allows me to mount on the dash or even the console - avoiding the conspicuous windshield attention grabber.
I would just like a good, adjustable holder that doesn't cover buttons or the rear speaker.
ProClipUSA
Try http://www.proclipusa.com/
You buy the clip in two parts: vehicle mount and device holder.
I have one and because it fits so well, I never used the double-sided tape that comes with it. Whenever I change devices, I purchase a new device holder.
These are far more secure than a suction cup and all the years I've used these, they never fell off.
I don't have a need for it, but they also have an extension mount so you can mount 2 devices. Really great concept if you have the need.
Although these may cost a little more, they are definitely worth the price.

Seconded! I've used the Brodit Proclip for over a year now and had no issues at all.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks, you guys made me take a second look at this vendor.
Would you guys trust the holder to hold the phone if it was mounted for landscape viewing?

Yes, no problem.
Does anybody knows some good car holder for nexus4. Vent holder is preferable.
I can find only universal ones.
I have always been a big fan of RAM Mounts due to the quality and variety of arms and bases. I used to use their dedicated device cradles for my devices, but their new XGrip universal cradle is genius. Easy in and out, super strong grip, and will never mark your device. All I use anymore.

Brodit mounts. They're pricey but once you try them you'll never go back:

The Mountek looks really tidy with the Nexus 4 and is very well built. I'd give up on your concerns for a dedicated mount.
