Cell Phone Cradle
« on: October 23, 2011, 06:24:11 AM »
I recently bought a new HTC Sensation cell phone, planning to use it for the GPS system.  Does anyone have any suggestions on a cradle to hold it?  I’m looking at the TecMount accessory mounting system (center post with extension) for a base, but need a cradle I guess.

I use a small Pelican clear box to hold my phone.  I painted the inside black everywhere except the cover where the phone shows through.  It has a silicone "bed" just the right size for my phone, which protects it from shock, and it's completely waterproof. 

Haven't done it yet, but I plan to run a charging cord through the back, and seal up around it with RTV.  In my case, the phone is just a phone, I don't use it for navigation, so the battery usually lasts for most rides. 

I am on call 7x24, and when the phone rings, I need to answer it if it's one of my technicians, or my boss.  So it's important for me to see my screen so I can see who's calling me.  It's mounted on a ram mount attached to my front brake lever clamp.  Sorry, I don't have any pics handy.

I have a Techmount that I mounted a universal phone holder to.  There is a mounting plate that screws to the Techmount and it is very secure.
