Fantastic fit - Not sure of accessories yetBy Eric Townsend
This vehicle mount is a vast improvement in holding power and stability over a generic mount. The generic mount I had used to shake badly while driving. This one is solid. This high quality mount securely holds the SGH-I777 but is not made to hold the phone if it is in a case. Bare phone only (which is OK for me).
The one area I have had troubles is with the accessories. It ships with a nice, long, straight, cigarette lighter power adapter and a mounting plate with 3M tape on the back in case you want to semi-permanently mount it to your dash. The plate is fine, but the power adapter blows a fuse every time I plug it in. I can see my dash lights get brighter for a moment when plugged in, then the fuse for the cigarette power blows. I've been through three fuses testing. I have two other non-oem power adapters that work fine, so it must be a problem with the Samsung.
I called Samsung accessory customer service line (800) 757-0280 and they gave me an RMA and a free shipping label, but the process took almost a half hour.
Next up was the 1/8" analog stereo adapter on the vehicle mount (located next to the USB). When plugged in, the sound does not transfer to "headphone" or "external" mode. Not sure if this is the vehicle mount, a software glitch or a software setting. Anyway, I just have to plug into the headphone jack and all is well; but... this is not a clean install nor the way the mount should work. So, I am still on that one...
So, the mount is awesome, the power adapter, not so much and the audio I am still fidgeting with.

Great Product... Only Needs One Additional OptionBy C. Wells
I ordered this product right after I got my AT&T Galaxy S II. It is extremely easy to install, and unlike some other products I have purchased in the past, the suction cup has yet to self release; not even in 100°F + temps, and we'll have to see what winter weather does to it. The tension knob is very handy; once you get the bracket where you want it you can tighten it and not worry about your screen dropping. This mount is also very stable, i have yet to notice it vibrating, even on some pretty rough dirt roads I drive down. The only complaint I have, is that it forces your phone into car mode when the charger slides into place. I would like to see a software package that allows you disable this option, and/or allows the user to choose which driving mode software is opened. I say this because I am not a fan of Samsung's Voice Talk App, and every time I plug it in I have to exit the app (or install an app blocker) before i can open my preferred app. If this issue was resolved I would give the product a five star rating. Having said that, I am very satisfied overall and will not hesitate to buy a similar Samsung replacement product the next time I upgrade my phone.

Large arm, but worksBy JC
It would be easiest to do this in a pro/con format:
Pros
- Fits phone snug, not moving
- Suction cup has a release mechanism
- Able to switch from portrait to landscape orientation
- Charger is on a separate cable (can use the charger as a regular charger without having to initiate car mode)
- Charger provides enough power to charge the phone while the GPS is active (don't laugh, this is actually an issue with some chargers and phones)
- Includes adhesive dash disc for mounting
Cons
- Arm is fixed and does not have any articulation points (for changing where the phone faces) - EDIT: the mount is actually on a ball joint, you need to loosen the release in order to change the orientation so this should no longer be a con
- Arm is rather large and may not fit in all glove boxes
- Some force is needed to remove the phone from the mount, fear this may leave wear marks on the phone in the long run
Item is Retail box and includes:
- Phone mount/holder and arm
- 700mamp car charger with micro USB end and 5ft cable
- Adhesive mounting disc for putting on the dashboard
Overall a good solid OEM product and I am happy. Some misc things with the phone as a GPS are that it keeps a lock but takes a bit to get the initial GPS lock, make sure you enable GPS before you get in the car. Default activity for the phone when a car dock is detected is to go start the 'Voice Control' app for some reason, I used Tasker to override this. The GPS volume is pretty low IMO so you will probably want to turn it to max so you can hear the directions. I will upload pics of the product.
