(Part 2) Top products from r/Axon7

Yeah, the 4 points of contact are rubber boots. I took the case off and popped the phone in. It held very solidly. There is reviews on youtube to see the mounting in action. They have other mounts, ways to attach it, can buy each part seperate http://www.rammount.com/

I justified the price w/

• lifetime warranty
  
• Made in USA
  
• I won't have this same phone forever and this will fit phones I think I'll have in the future.
  
• It was buying into an ecosystem I'll use Ram 1" ball mounts for action cams, and other stuff.
  
  While the mount is universal and fits the axon 7 great. Any phone smaller would not fit the one linked. You would need the size down, which might fit the axon? but idk if its too small havent used it.
  
  So yes, no case, no problem. It actually seemed like it held onto the phone better without the case.
  
  It is suction cup mount, so if you're looking for vent mount they don't have one. I'm starting to sound like a corporate whore, so I'll stop here, just like the mount :)
  
  Edit: It's worth noting This piece came with the mount and is too small for the phone, On a motorcycle I'd use it/want it. But road bike, mountain biking, and in the car, no issues, phone stays planted in the mount w/o falling out. The rubber does fit with aaallot of stretching and strength.
  
  Edit2: and i had this mount before i bought the ram mount, my case was too thick for the magnet to catch the plate right and would fall off after a small bump. But if you don't use a case and dont mind a thin metal plate on the back of the phone, it should be more than strong enough. alot of other magnetic car mounts, plates and magnets don't seem to vary much across brands, but the Niteize someone else linked looked like a neat solution, can't speak for it, never used it.

I can vouch for the Spigen, my phone flew out of my hoodie when I was dancing in the middle of the road, and hit the ground 5 ft away, barely any indication that the case was impacted as it bounced on the asphalt. Thats a good case. No cellphone damage whatsoever and you cant tell the case was dropped.

For Charger - I got this to compliment the one that comes from ZTE :

• works like a champ, quality
  
  Car Charger - This works great for me, though I did see a black one that was pretty sexy when I was on amazon.

  and additional cables, anker is great 2.

  So companies I trust at this point.
  
  Aukey
  Anker
  iXCC
  Spigen - whom coincidentally are located near my work.
  
  
  for anything related to charging, its important to make sure the cable or charger can handle the USB-C or else you won't benefit from the super-fast charging. Quick Charge feature.
  
  I just look for qualcomm certified usb-c or whether the usb-c listed products are current gen usb-c mobile devices and the reviews from those owners.
  
  share any other products that you found to work excellent with your axon 7!
  

Exactly. 5V3A is one of the specifications of USB PD, which i'm pretty sure only Google's own devices support. You have to look for QC3.0 chargers which became really cheap recently, like the BlitzWolf ones.

I actually have 2 made by Aukey. One at work and one in the car. They work perfectly fine. I have used them since day 1. I have my A7 since the 1 week it was sold. I actually have 3 of the AC plugs.

Also I would only by a USB-C cable from this list

I've used these for about 3 years I'm on my second pair only because I wanted the updated by 4.0 versions. I wouldn't recommend using them for jogging because your sweat will likely gunk up and dissolve the ear cups but hey sound surprisingly good and have a battery that lasts for somewhere between 24-30 hours of playback on a charge. I use them all day long at work and charge them every 3 days, I've never tested to see when they actually run out of juice...

This vent mount from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019D29Q32/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Doesn't have a problem with the weight of the phone. Been very happy with it.

I use the Scoche Magic Mount. I put a steel plate in the back of my case and the phone sticks to the magnet. It works perfectly.

I bought this one works great

Warranty?

Buy copycat break/malfunction then warranty is another option.

This thing has survived a cross-country trip and is still going strong. I use the vent clip, haven't even tried the dash or windshield holders yet but it comes with all three for $14.

edit: my axon is in a spigen case, just for the record

It's the NZXT S340 white case. Really nice. https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Tower-Computer-White-CA-S340W-W1/dp/B00NGMIBXC

Here is one that was actually cheaper than my micro usb dock.

In case you didn't know, fast charging relies on what you plug the cable into.

If you use the brick that the came with the phone or a third party quickcharge 3.0 wall charger, it will fast charge.

This one was an EXACT match to the original, right down to the write writing on the ribbon cable where it snaps in.

Niteize Steelie 100% recommended.

I use the dash mount in my truck and I use the vent clip in my car. It works with my Spigen case and it also has a protective pad in case you don't want have a case on your phone.

Basically you stick a magnet to your phone (the magnet doesn't come with the vent clip but it does come with the dash mount) and you can stick it to anything that magnets can stick to.

Edit: actually under the dash mount, if you select color there's an option to get vent clip + magnet together.

As for the actual method to get this to work, I don't know. It gave me the option to format as internal, but may not always work that way.

This method posted on XDA is similar to how I got AS working on my LG G3:

is the Spigen case quite thick?
I have a Diztronic case for my oneplus which is very slim and nice... is this similar:

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but isn't [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Certified-RAVPower-20100mAh-Portable/dp/B019IFIJW8/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1473012284&sr=1-4&keywords=ravpower) essentially the same product, but cheaper?
