Pros: -Great suction cup
-Arm is VERY stiff
-Holds securely, your phone won't fall
Cons: -The plastic LOOKS cheap (only looks, 'cause it's strong)
-It's designed to hold the iPhone without any other accessories (see explanation below)
Other Thoughts: When I say accessories, I mean, for instance, a cover I bought to prevent fall damage... and it's quite a pain in the a## to be taking out the cover to put it on the car and then putting the cover back on when I leave the car... but that's not a problem with the holder itself.
Bottomline: If you own both a car and an iPhone, it's a great buy. Great if you have a Bluetooth capable stereo in the car.

Pros: This cradle is of ok build quality. It holds the iphone 3g very securely. The suction cup is very strong and will not let go once setup correctly. The arm is also very stiff and will not move on its own
Cons: the only con in when you arm is extended and you are driving little bumps in the road make the iphone shake a bit. I fixed this by letting it touch against the dash. It works best like that for no shakes.
Other Thoughts: I showed some people and they could not believe the quality and the price that it cost.
Just be careful when putting the phone in and out as the clip is very strong.
Bottomline: Cheap, good build quality, buy one of them. For the price it is a decent product.

Pros: Looks sturdy and fix to the windscreen easily and holds strong
build quality is quite impressive for the price and looks like from a brand name accessory for the iphone
able to rotate with ease for both views
Cons: the fixture is too thin if u are using a casing for your iphone...only accepts naked iphone... the clip grips pretty hard and it scratches the metal surround on the iphone. care needs to taken when taking the phone out of the holder
Other Thoughts: the holder could be slightly modified to hold it together with the casing..... the product can be
Bottomline: good product ..but could be better

Pros: Easy to attach to window.
Strong material.
Solid grip.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I would LOVE to see the following:
1) a longer one for mounting on my desk (he he, I said mount). I could use at work, on my fridge at home (for while I cook), etc.
2) a camera hole so I could take pictures while I drive. I'll probably break out my dremmel and make one tho, so no worries.
I will probably be ordering several more. I love this sucker.
Bottomline: Excellent product. Works better than advertised in my opinion. I do treat it carefully when removing my iPhone because of a review I read on here where it tried to peel the silver lining off of his iPhone when he pulled his iPhone out of it. So be careful?
