Scosche IUH3 Mobile Grip-IT Swivel Mount Kit (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to mount an external XM radio in my car. My sister has one for her Garmin, and loves it, so I thought I'd try it myself. I've had it for only a few days, and it works, but one of the spring loaded clamps comes apart everytime I try to move the mount or simply remove the XM radio from the mount to hide it when parked. Spring goes flying, and more than once I thought I'd lost it for good...It does work without that spring (the other clamp has never come apart and is nice and tight), but then the whole thing flops a little. Also, the bracket itself is large and bulky, so I ended up removing the bracket and mounting the XM radio directly to the face of the mount - the back of the XM radio has a mounting peg that fits the notch on the mount face nice and tight. Works great, less bulk and less intrusive. Still have the spring problem though...Should have bought a vent mount specifically for XM radios. Wouldn't have ended up with a useless bracket, and possibly would have a better clamp design than the spring loaded one. The bracket itself seems nice and well made (I like the button used to control the width of the clamps), but it was too bulky for my situation. I'll keep this mount for now because so far it hasn't fallen off the vent (even with the one spring missing), but should that happen, I'll be in the market for something else (without springs!).

Gilsson Universal Holder Suction /Air Vent Clip Mount for iPhone Blackberry SmartphoneGarmin Nuvi Magellan Roadmate GPS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Obviously the GPS isn't included, but you will notice in the picture, in the lower left, there is a square-ish looking component with 4 screw holes and a notch cut out. This piece is used to permanently attach the cradle mount holder to the dash, or elsewhere in the car.
The kit does not come with this piece.
After thoroughly re-reading the description, I realized nowhere does it say that this piece is included, so it's really my fault for not paying close enough attention to the description.
I had a use for this piece and was disappointed it wasn't included.
Included are 3 pieces: the suction mount and permanently attached flexible arm, the cradle, and the visor mount.
Also, there are no mounting discs for the suction cup, either, but the instructions do references them, as an optional accessory.
All-in-all, the device seems to be made well for the money ($19.99). I saw similar devices in the store for more money and they appeared to be made more cheaply, or only-as-well, as this one.
I found the cradle in this unit to be a slimmer design than other's I've seen, so if a tight spot for the cradle is a concern, this one may work for you.
I gave it 4 stars because it didn't include 25% of what I expected to be in the package.
I did this rating because others may be looking for that permanent mount, as I was, and I don't want them disappointed - like I was - that it wasn't included.

Bracketron PHV-200-BL Grip-iT Mobile Device Holder (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read a review by someone who purchased this item since they didn't want to use the suction cup. They wanted something easy to remove so no one would know a GPS was being used in the car. I wanted it so I could mount it closer to me so I could take advantage of the bluetooth (hands free phone). This device, once put in the air vent is difficult to remove. As a matter of fact, there is still one prong stuck in my air vent after I removed the unit. I wanted to use it with a Garmin nuvi 275T. The location of the plug for the Garmin is in the rear. When you plug in the wire it sticks out the back. You cannot fully mount the Garmin unit in the holder. It is biased to the right which adds a little difficulty when viewing your GPS. Also, this is not a problem with the unit per se, but if your vent is angled in a direction which makes viewing difficult, you will be disappointed. The only adjustment on the unit is the 360 degree rotation. If you need to adjust it in any other position, you're out of luck.
