The Mountek mount is a great mount option for a lot of people, but for me it has 2 issues
1. most cars' CD player is too low on the dash so it's not an ideal location for GPS usage
2. depends on the layout of your radio, it could block a bunch of buttons
shipped from hong kong, same place as meritline.. I'm assuming it's the same seller..

Iottie one touch: http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Wind...D4X8NFKVAK
I definitely despise the Flex 2 vs the One Touch's. Aside from it barely fitting my phone (S2 w/ Otterbox Defender), the ball mount is to loose. Every time you put the phone in or take the phone out, you have to readjust the damn mount. Hitting expansion joints on bridges on the highway caused the mount to droop down, having to readjust it. I only three pro's for it; 1) it's slim and sleek, 2) the suction cups sticks to a curve on my heavily textured dash (same suction cup as on the One Touch's), 3) you can rotate it from portrait to landscape without having to adjust anything. Tried it for a week, meant to send it back to Amazon, still sitting on the kitchen counter.
That said, I'm not using the One Touch for the Note 2 with my S2 and I LOVE IT. It's ROCK SOLID, suction cup is like glue (put it on before Christmas and it hasn't moved, even mounted on a textured dash). Super easy to click the phone in and out. It's definitely larger than the Flex 2 but it is oh-so-worth it for me. I just wish iOttie would have allowed the mount to rotate between portrait and landscape, like on the Flex 2, without having to adjust anything.
Update:
Apparently there is a different version for Note 2. So I am guessing it won't fit my note 2.

For my one touch (the non note 2 version) I can tighten the holder just enough so that it doesn't move when I am driving, but still loose enough so I can turn it between portrait and landscape without having to adjust it. But I do have to re-tighten the holder just a touch every 2, 3 weeks as it will start to loosen slightly by itself over time.

The best thing is the AC vent mount, fixes my problem of overheating while using as a GPS!
I bought the iOttie one touch based on the discussion when this was on sale last time. Works great with my nexus 4. It is $20.
