It is an inexpensive device, a little more bulky than necessary on the sides of the mount (and why would you want that if you have a sleek phone"). Mostly does what it is supposed to and is cheap, which is what I was going for being skeptical as to whether it would fit correctly. It serves its purpose for purchasing it, and I am happy I got it. I like how it came with multiple mounting options since I wasn't sure if all of them would work. It seems pretty durable. Please note, though, that if you live in a cold weather area (like I do) the suction tends to not work as well if you leave it out in the cold.
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 like the fact that I get both a vent and windshield mount for one low price. I use this every day for both my Droid X and my Zune. This works well for the iPhone 4 in my BMW e46 vent. It's easy to install.
I will update my review as the weeks go by to see how it holds up, but so far so good. It actually makes driving a little bit more enjoyable. So that makes it useless for ANY of the purposes for which it is sold. I am close to giving up on any vent mount due to all the problems they have.
The one good thing for me was the suction cup, which solidly attached to the windshield. But other things were so bad that 1 star is the most I can give.
I did find the lock/unlock button to be a little hard to get to, - BUT - the smaller padded arms on the mount can be REMOVED (easily) and put back on - which I think would solve my problem (I could remove just one). I'd recommend this mount :) I recently used this on a long trip to hold my phone while it displayed navigation info and also while it was playing music.
I use it dash mounted. It holds my iPhone 4 perfectly! As a result I did not feel comfortable using it for my phone. The suction cup mount works perfectly and has two adjustment points that can be tightened up so your phone position will not move. I chose to use the vent mounts in my 2007 Toyota Tundra. I did add 4 pieces of rubber tubing on the clips to make them more "grippy", since plastic on plastic tends to slide around. It's a very solid mount. It's a great purchase for me. I can't rate the windshield mount since I haven't used it. I first am trying the vent mount, and it works great on a 2008 Civic.
