Bracketron IPM-202BL Docking Cradle Mount for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm giving this one 5 stars simply because I believe many of the other reviews here don't do the product justice. For 8 bucks this is one hell of an iCradle. I'll agree that the included directions are essentially useless. The crux of the problem is step 1 where they ask you to "Attach the two vent clips to the T-notch plate". Fortunately mine came with these parts already put together, so assembly was a cinch. Just make sure you're willing to sacrifice an air vent on your dash to mount it on.
Also, it did hold my iPhone 3GS (inside a plastic case) firmly, but not too firmly. There are three slots on either side of the "T-notch plate" to provide adjustable width, and a set of additional wings to accommodate a nano. The larger set of "wings" has an inner and an outer clip. I'm guessing the outer clips are for bulky older iPods; I didn't need them, and they were kind of getting in the way, so I took em off with a soldering iron (I'll post a pic).
Overall a smart buying decision. Just remember, there's [..] at stake here folks.

iPod Touch Clear Silicone Skin from Prima Cases Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Prima is a good company and this is a good case, though it's not quite perfect. While the fit is quite exact, I find it's not quite as snug as I would like, which makes it pretty easy for dust and debris to get into the case. For example, the edges can flip up as I'm stowing my touch in my pocket, letting crud get trapped between the case and the iPod, which can't be good for the finish.
I also found that while the silicone texture provides excellent grip, that same grip creates a lot of friction when trying to slip my iPod into a pocket or tight space. So your precious iPod will be less likely to slip from your fingers, but it's also harder to access, which I think is not a good trade-off because the iPod touch can't really be operated without holding and seeing it (i.e., you can't easily change the volume or skip a track while it's in your pocket), so I'm always putting it away and retrieving it.
In the end I opted for a clear hard case from another maker.

Handstands Original Sticky Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you have ever had your cell phone under your seat ringing, then you need this. I was given a sample at a conference and was hooked. This simple mat is one of the best things for drivers and cell phones and more. Just place it on the flat part of your dash, put you phone on it and you can turn all the corners you want the phone stays put. It is also great for coins for toll roads. Just lay out you coins and you are ready. I bought one for each of my employees.

Arkon CM910 Universal PDA Mount Bundle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This kit provides three methods for mounting your phone / pda in your car. If you aren't sure which will suit best, the few extra dollars to have all three in one kit are probably worth it. Overall this is a solid system at a good price, although there are a few easy but significant design improvements waiting to be made.
***The core of the system is the PDA CRADLE itself, which clamps a wide range of devices securely, yet is easy to release. I do not worry about my device shaking loose, even over rough roads. The cradle attaches to the car via either the windshield mount, the dash mount, or the vent mount.
***The WINDSHIELD AND DASH MOUNTS are the same flexible arm. The arm attaches directly to glass with a large, powerful suction pad. Attachment to the dash requires first applying a self-adhesive disk to the point on the dash you want as your base and then using the suction pad to attach the arm to the disk. Choose your spot carefully as the disk is not easily removed once applied. Though the arm provides a solid base when attached, it is difficult to situate it unobtrusively. The flexibility of the arm is quite limited so that it is impossible to mount low on the sloping windshield of most cars, whereas mounting it high enough to avoid the dash presents a significant obstruction to your view of the road.
***The VENT MOUNT is a lighter and more portable solution. It is primarily designed to clip to horizontal vent louvers, for cars with more esoteric vent designs it might not be an option. It can be a little fiddly to install, and even more fiddly to remove but, depending on the location of your vents, it can provide a good compromise of keeping your device near the instruments for head (almost) up GPS navigation without obscuring your view of the road. The swivel feature makes it easy to adjust the angle of your device display for easier viewing or to alternate between driver and passenger using the device.

Mio DigiWalker H610 2.7-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in California and travel a LOT for business. I saw the H610 in a magazine and picked one up for myself. I will never leave the house without it! No matter what city I visit I can easily navigate from the airport to the hotel and can easily find a great restaurant or night spot for afterhours. And the media player has saved my sanity more times than I can recall. Now when I sit on a plane I can listen to songs, watch movies or play games - without having to bust open my huge laptop.
I cannot imagine hitting the road without one!

Pharos Traveler GPS 535v - Handheld - Windows Mobile - 3.5" color TFT ( 480 x 640 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned many different PDA's and this is by far the best one I have encountered. If you like your phone and PDA to be the same this is not your PDA, but if you like a good solid PDA with blue tooth, wireless, and my favorite feature of all GPS capability then you will love this small compact PDA. I previously owned a Navagation PDA's from a different manufacturer and was not impressed because the button set up was different than that of a standard PDA, so games were impossible to use because of the button configuration; however, this PDA has a standard PDA button set up that is back lit with a speaker on the front unlike my other PDA's. I like using the GPS as a GPS not for navigation, but you could certainly use this for navigation with software purchase or you could buy the model with navigation built in as well. Some higher resolution PDA's like this one may not run games that are only set up for lower resolution PDA's, but this runs most everything and you can usually find a patch or a fix for that issue if it's a game or program you just can't live without. I finally found a great PDA with built in GPS that still works like a standard PDA.
***Update*** This is my fourth PDA and I have had great luck with this unit as a GPS unit both in my car and outside, but it has to be set on 'COM4' both under the GPS setting and in the GPS program you're using. In addition, the infrared beaming under setting/connections/beam must be unchecked so you can't receive incoming beams while using the GPS since they both use COM4. It does take longer to get a connection while moving in a car, but if remaining stopped with the unit in the dash or suctioned to the front windshield mine will find a signal in 1 minute or less assuming you have it set up correctly. Once you aquire a signal it does well and often works in my house but usually never inside a building and I don't have the attenna you can plug into the back either. My previous unit actually took longer to get a signal and it had Navigation built in. While I do agree that a regular GPS or car navigation may be quicker at getting a signal and may have a longer battery life...just know they don't do much else! I use this at work for medical information, the Gym for music, at home as a TV remote, to play games, sync with my calendar, email, contacts or search the internet on my wireless network, and even print wirelessly with it. Occasionally I have even used it for bible study at church. I travel quite a bit and have used it to mark routes and calculate distances, elevations along with speeds(I discovered the new larger tires on my car made my odometer read 3-5mph slower than I was actually travelling-can you say speeding ticket?), but I have not used it for geocaching yet. An unnamed free map program also works great as long as you have a wireless connection. I usually use it to plan my travel route and then save the directions to WORD before I leave as a reference while I'm in transit. This free map program also works great to find stores, hotels or restaurants and it allows you to put them directly into your contacts if you like. My house also looks pretty cool zoomed in on the satellite view using the same program. Finally, if you can't live without all your old palm programs since I owned one of those at one time as well there is a great unnamed program(emulator) that allows you to use most of the OS programs on your PDA if you can't find an equivalent program for the PDA platform. I live in a small town and it seems to work great for me at home or on the road. If you want everything but phone and camera, this is the one to get.

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.
