(More customer reviews)I purchased this car mount (on Amazon) last week for my new Droid, so that I can use its GPS feature. Dash mount and windshield mount versions wouldn't work well for me, so I found this one, a vent mount with the swiveling feature. It allows me to reposition the phone as needed based on the angle of the sun. It can be used for pretty much any smartphone, it's not specific to any make or model. Some mounts don't work well with cases, but this works just fine because you put the phone in the mount and then squeeze the sides until they fit your phone perfectly. Then I rotate it to landscape and I'm good to go. It doesn't block the mini-USB port so I can easily charge it (a must-have if using the battery-draining GPS feature).
The only negative about this mount is the difficulty of removing the vent clips. This is due to the angled design of the horizontal vents in my car. I don't know if others would have that problem, and don't know how well it would work with vertical vents.
Also, I'm not sure how well it works for people who want to use the phone for calls, because I turn my ringer off and don't talk or text while driving. Studies have shown that distracted driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving, and a car mount won't make that any safer. It's a soapbox issue for me because my sisters were in a bad car accident caused by a texting driver who blew a red light going 50mph. Oprah's gotten on her high horse with a "No Phone Zone" campaign, and I'm right there with her (even though I'm not in her target demographic). If you really need to use the phone that badly, just pull over.
