(More customer reviews)--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.
