For the price, hard to beat.,
I purchased this for my Droid X. The X fits allowing access to the usb port for charging. The camera sits above the mount so you can use it to shoot video while driving. The only negative comment I have with this product is the vent mount. In both of my vehicles (Taurus and Siena), the clips really don’t hold all that well allowing the whole mount to move with the additional weight of the Droid. Further, trying to use the phone requires holding it steady first. A quick and easy solution was to add a small piece of rubber tubing to each plastic clip. I picked this up at Ace for < .50. The vent mount is now rock solid, like the windshield mount.
I prefer the vent mount as the Droid X has an issue with heat. This keeps the phone out of the window and allows the AC to blow across it when on.

|Great for Evo 4G,
With the large screen of the Evo, I finally ditched my Garmin, and I’m using my phone as a GPS. This mount is perfect for the phone. You can adjust the bottom supports so they don’t get in the way of the charge port. Also, the side arms hold the phone securely without getting in the way of the volume rocker.
The build quality of this mount is very impressive for the price! The plastic feels solid, not flimsy, and the suction cup is stronger and larger than the one that came with my Garmin. I was concerned about this, as I didn’t want to risk my new phone in something that wouldn’t hold it right. But after trying it out, I’m very pleased with how snugly the mount grips the phone. It’s not going anywhere.
I like this mount so much that I came back to order one for my other car (only to find that they’re now back-ordered).
One thing — the vent mount doesn’t hold very tight on my car, so that I don’t feel comfortable using it. Maybe it’s my particular type of vent (it’s an old, old car), or maybe I’m not installing it right. However, the windshield mount is excellent.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

|Works Great with HTC Incredible,
I use this product to hold my HTC Incredible to my vent mount while I use it as a GPS and Music Player (via FM Transmitter). Arms holds the Phone snugly so it will not move or fall out, the location of the charging cable and headphone jack are not interfered with by the mount. The vent mount swivels nicely to allow for a good viewing angle while attached to either the driver’s side or passenger’s side central vents of my cars.
I have not tried the windshield mount.
I guess my GPS vent mount is from the same company because the mounts are compatible and I now I don’t have to detach the vent piece when swapping between using my car and my wife’s car.
