Great Quality, But Length = Shakey --Kensington Car Mount for iPod/phones -- Pros: I've tried several similar products, and the Kensington has the best of all the button features to "open" the clamps around your device--very James-Bondish the way the holder slowly opens to allow your device out. The overall quality of the Kensington is excellent--it feels like a well-made holder. Cons: The greatest asset of the holder--its long length--is also its biggest WEAK point. Even with good construction and a firm grip on my phone, the arm is just too long to stay rigid during travel and the whole things vibrates and shakes around while you're driving. If you're looking to your phone or GPS for directions, you'd be hard pressed to read your device easily. The long arm is also a bit "awkward" in a smaller car; the size of the thing and its conspicuousness on your dash seems a bit, well, "undercover police car"-ish. Bottom Line: even with solid quality and a good setup, I returned the Kensington--the road vibrations from a long arm made my device too jittery to enjoy. The best quality suction cup device holder I've ever seen! There are so many of these on the market that are very cheaply made but this one from Kensington is so well made and sturdy! I love the features: * you can move the bottom holders to avoid charger cables, * you can get your devices out extremely easily! Just pinch the device and your finger naturally falls on the back of the holder's release button * you can TURN the thing sideways once you mount your iPhone or iPod Touch and see movie (don't do this while driving) * you can EASILY move the suction cup from place to place (like on the side window and use your phones speaker function when you don't own an earpiece) Great for iPhone in a case Unlike other iPhone specific windshield mounts, this Kensington product allows you to place your iPhone in it regardless of what type of case you are using. The suction cup stays on like a champ in all sorts of temperature extremes. And the grip on the phone is very secure, yet easy to release with a single button click.
