ProClip 370Z Mount + Droid Holster review

Menace370Z · 07-12-2013, 12:29 PM

Anyone use the ProClip Mount for a Samsung S4? I was looking at this one online, I have a Spigen SlimArmor case.

As with the ProClip mount I used in my last car, I decided not to peel the covers off the 3M adhesive tape so that I could remove it whenever necessary. Don't worry, the mount clips in there very solidly and WILL NOT move around! No tape needed.

Here are the pics:

Don't worry about it being a problem for your passengers... there's still plenty of leg room for them with the mount installed.

Worth the money? Definitely. Solid piece and it's MUCH better having the phone in a fixed position freeing up the cup holder.

My apologies for the dirty interior -- I will be taking care of that during my spring detail.

I just got my ProClip and have a question about how your bottom clip attaches. Mine doesn't fully wrap around the bottom edge of the center console. Instead the ProClip bracket goes about half way around the bottom edge and the U shaped attachment isn't wide enough to fully go around the bottom of the console. It is secure, but I am worried the sharp edge of the ProClip bracket will eventually wear a hole in the center console material. Is this how it is supposed to fit?

I was inspired by this thread and thought I'd share my recent project. I liked the ProClip holder but didn't much care for the mounts as they look a bit kluged together in my opinion. I decided to make a custom one and started playing with some fiberglass. Here's the result.

anyone know of anything like this? I really don't want a windshield mount of navigation, and these other clips are too low.

Try this one. I used it in my 370 a little bit. It's very sturdy and it sits at the right location without having to look down if you're using the gps. It may look like it's blocking the cubby door, but it's not, I can still use the cubby door while my iphone is mounted on the clip.

If 370_o decides to do a run of them, count me first in line.

370_o · 05-19-2015, 01:03 PM

Ok, I give in. I'll make a small run of the one piece design that I posted. I'm also planning on creating a two piece design that's easier to install. PM me if you're interested.

I'm sure the Mods will let me know how/where to post in the future now that I plan on selling these things...

This seems like the way to go. I've been meaning to get a mount so I'm glad I saw this thread which reminded me, so I just ordered this ($20 on amazon, $25 on their website). Much easier to add/remove than the proclip style and just looks cleaner while in use. Also, great reviews on Amazon from a ton of users.

Sorry! I only had the one picture when I borrowed it from my sister to test out. I can tell you that it is the perfect solution for the Z. Its position is right about eye level if you're using your phone gps and it's within reach if needed, and I was still able to open and close my cubby door with it being mounted
