Don't Waste Your Time And Cash On This - Phone Car Mount Review
You will not be disappointed. I have a 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 and this product works perfectly. It's a great product for a great price. Works perfect on the air vent in my 2010 Honda Civic.
I purchased this product for my Droid X to use the GPS on a trip to Chicago from Des Moines, Iowa. It held perfectly throughout the 8 hour drive, worked with the charger and the headphone jack, and cooled with the air conditioning.
I purchased almost 2 years ago. I have used various sized cell phones all the way up to the gigantic EVO.
Another review stated that it 'just worked' with the Incredible. I have NO idea what that means because it will hold this phone and much larger as well. I do have a fear that the clamp release button will eventually wear out on it, but until it does, it gets a five star rating from me. I purchased this for my new MyTouch 4g.
Obviously this depends on the phone, mounting location, and cord. It is cool product but vent mount is not staying in the vent too good.
Having the vents open means the phone warms up a bit in the winter, but I aim most of the warm air either at my feet or the windshield, so it's not a huge issue. The bigger issue with the vent mount is that the clips can soften up if they're warm, so if the vent mount gets jostled, either when you're mounting the phone to the holder or rotating it, the clips can lose their grip on the vent vanes. The vent mount worked perfectly in my Honda Odyssey. My iPhone fit perfectly.
If you have the extended battery or a case -- you are out of luck. I found this case to be a cheap, functional replacement. This is still a bit disappointing, as in my car, mounting it on the windshield puts the phone up fairly high, which is why I wanted the vent mount. If you want a vent mount, I'd look elsewhere. I'm happy with the product. It works as advertised. I am using the Arkon with the vent mount. The mount fit the vents in my Monte Carlo just fine. I have it placed on my dashboard and it is as tough as a rock. I had some mounts that would just fall of my vent and then my stuff would be everywhere. I use it dash mounted. It holds my iPhone 4 perfectly!

About the Author:
When mounted in a vent, which notoriously won't be very close to you, the mount will not allow the phone so swivel left/right far enough to have a clear direct view of the device. Recessed Medicine Cabinets.
