Title: Mobile Phone Cradles/Docks
Post by: JackB on 21 November 2017, 16:22

Just wondering what type of cradles people are currently using for their phones?

I've been looking into this Ipitaka dock but am unsure of fitting something into the middle vents.

Not sure about that holder but I've had Pitaka cases on my iPhone 7&7+ and my Galaxy S8+ and they are top quality.

Personally I would go for a Brodit http://www.brodit.com/brodit.html?pn=home

I used to buy phone specific Brodit mounts but gave up on that after finding the Tetrax XWay mount on Amazon years back;

The only downside is the disk that goes on your phone or case means that the phone doesn't lay flat on a table.  You can keep reusing the disks with a bit of Sugru.

I've used the same Brodit holder since the iPhone 4 came out with different mounts because it is adjustable.

Always had brodit. Swapping the phone specific holder is a small price to pay for a decent mount.

Always used the Brodit mounts. Solid and look good. A bit expensive though.

That PITAKA looks good, I wonder if it works with iPhone 8?

Brodit might be expensive, but probably you've got a 800 quid flippin phone in it now. The mount is pretty cheap by comparison!
