3.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality, But Length = Shakey, June 25, 2009

--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 WEAKNESS! Even with good construction and a firm grip on my phone, the arm is just too long to stay completely rigid during travel--the whole thing vibrates and slightly shakes 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. Not that it shakes violently, but it vibrated and jittered enough to make my device, well, permanently set on "vibrate" (hyuk hyuk). The long arm is also a bit awkward in a smaller car--the size of the thing and its conspicuousness on the dash seems a bit, how would you say, "undercover police car"-ish.

BOTTOM LINE: even with its solid quality and conceptually good set up, I returned the Kensington--the road vibrations from its long arm made my device too jittery to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best quality suction cup device holder I've ever seen!, January 12, 2008

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)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for iPhone in a case, July 25, 2008

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.
