Bracketron UNI-4503IP Dash Mount for iPod and iPhone (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a solution to install a mount for my iPhone in my car without using a 12V outlet (inconveniently located), without mounting on the windshield (no good spot on my windshield that doesn't seriously block the view), and without spending ~$100 on a ProClip product.I thought this Bracketron product was the answer, because it was 1) Cheap, 2) Customizable 3) Secure.

However, for a variety of reasons, this product has failed to be even somewhat useful:

1) The metal bracket is REALLY tough, and you are gonna need some serious tools to bend or cut it as directed.The picture on the back of the package (not shown on Amazon) depicts someone bending it using just their hands and a single set of pliers, but I was unable to do anything even remotely precise enough with 2 sets of good vice-grips -- forget about getting a good clean bend.I imagine it would take proper steel-working equipment to manipulate the bracket with any precision, and if you've got that equipment you can probably just make your own bracket.I didn't try to cut it, but again, the tin snips they show on the package wouldn't stand a chance.(As a side note, even my not-strong-enough vice grips marred up the black finish badly -- I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to manipulate it without destroying the finish.)

2) Despite the promise of endless customization, I was unable to find a good place to mount it in my car, even after several hours taking apart all the dash panels to look for a good bolt spot.Not really the fault of the product, but be sure to confirm that you have a good spot to put it before buying.I was forced to settle for a very awkward position down by the glove compartment (which didn't even work because I couldn't get the bracket in the right shape).

3) Finally, even though the metal bracket is sturdy, the plastic mount (i.e. the part that you actually see and touch) is cheap and flimsy.Adjustments are very limited, and I was unable to get it to hold either my iPhone or classic-style iPod without it falling out or being WAY to tight.So unless you know that your car has a good mount spot, that it doesn't require bending or cutting the bracket at all, and that your mobile device will fit in the mount, look elsewhere.

Bracketron PHM-201-BL Mobile Device Vent Mount Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered the Bracketron PHM-201-BL to mount my HTC Fuze on the air vents of a 98 audi so it would be easier to use the hands-free system as well as listen to the mp3 player.The bracket has many configuration options including the air vent setup, and for mounting to other Bracketron mounts - I did not try the adhesive setup.The vent setup is stable enough to press the phone in securely without the clips breaking or the whole mount falling off.The volume keys and touch-screen are still easily accessible, but the PTT (Push to talk) button is slightly covered (I do not use PTT so I just disable that key).Overall a great product for the price.

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.
