Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this item in January of 2009. I thought it was the greatest holder I have ever seen because it rotates and mounts to my windshield. In the beginning I thought it was tough to take the iPhone out of the holder but eventually I did not mind until it broke.
In April of 2009, 3 months into using this holder the clip holding the iPhone broke then 2 days later the suction cup came off.
Besides it breaking it has a design flaw that started to annoy me from the beginning. The holder that attaches to the mount is upside down. Many times I would have the iPhone in the mount and put the headphone jack to my car in the top of the iPhone. When I did this the holder came off the mount. When I reverse the iPhone the jack is covered up and I can not play my music through the stero.
Pro:
People-oriented design: Adjustable neck (GooseNeck)
Flexible arm allows fine tuning of positioning
Con:
Bad design: when using the headphone jack the holder will come off the mount.
It broke 2 different ways in 3 months from purchase
You cannot use the camera when in the holder. I guess you could drill a hole but I never got to that.
The suction cup came off every week.
I have yet to find a better solution but I will continue to look.

If you want to have your lovely iPhone by your side at all time, you could: a) place it on the dashboard and hope it doesn't slide off b) modify the dashboard to safely hold the phone c) buy an iPhone Car Mount. iPhone Car MountSince it can be installed in a couple of seconds and doesn't endanger your phone, I'd say option c) is the best. The base attaches to the windshield with a suction cup and continues with a flexible gooseneck that allows easy repositioning of the phone to get a better view. When you're not driving, we hope. Another thing you absolutely shouldn't do while driving is watch videos. But when you're stationary you can just rotate the bracket to place the iPhone in landscape position.
