Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington Car Mount for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G; and MP3 Players (Black)
Customer Review: For those of us who don't need an FM tuner - this is GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this so I could travel more safely while using my iPhone.
My car does NOT have a center console where I could set my phone while driving, so I would lay the phone on my passenger seat (if no one was sitting in it), or I would ask my passenger to hold it. That got old pretty quickly.
I found this through searching here on Amazon.
I read the product features, I read the user reviews. I bought it.
I LOVE this holder!
I have it positioned on the left side of my windshield, closest to the side rear-view mirror (just above my inspection sticker) attached to the windshield. That way it is close at hand, but NOT in my line of site.
The suction cup keeps it there - without fail! I can even leave it there when I place my full-windshield sunshield into position.
The bottom of the actual holder has movable "legs" (that can rotate in or out as needed) that hold the phone. This holder comes off of the arm just by lifting it up while you hold the arm in place.
The side "arms" of the holder open easily, yet hold securely, even with the bulk of my "Speck" silicone case.
I just loop my (2) cords onto the support arm after removing the holder - which is almost like a bonus to me, as I had nowhere to store the power cord and/or input cord (I have a cassette player in the car, so I still use the cassette adapter to listen to my iPod thru the car's stereo).
Overall this was WELL worth the money I paid for it. Quite simply, I am a safer more organized driver due to using this holder. Thanks Kensington!
[UPDATE: The unit that holds the phone stopped working. I came to the conclusion that it stopped working because I would leave it in my car - no matter what temperature it was in the car. I bought a replacement, and now I just pop the holder off with my phone when I leave my car. The arm just stays in the car. It seems to be working much better than my original one.]
