Arkon's IPM512 is a 2-in-1 mount bundle featuring a friction dashboard mount and a super reliable windshield suction pedestal. Dashboard and windshield mounts are ideal for use with GPS applications as they position your phone up high in the vehicle. The mini friction dashboard mount is suitable for deep, slightly slanted or flat dashboards. Dashboard mounting is preferred in Minnesota and California where the use of windshield mounts is restricted. Most other friction dashboard mounts solely re...

This Car Mounts give to us some advantages, like this :
1. This is the one.
I ordered, by mistake, both this dash holder as well as the Kensington model and I'm glad I made the mistake! Although the Kensington model works well enough, this Arkon has the GREAT benefit of a spring loaded system that, once grasping your phone with cushioned legs, will not let go when you do not wish it to. Honestly, this did not happen very often with the Kensington but it happened a couple times and that really is enough if I know there is something else out there that will NOT drop my iPhone. I wrote this review because, basically, if I had the choice between the two models, knowing what I know of both, I'd pick the Arkon and thought that insight might help someone deciding between the two. Well worth the money.
2. Perfect accessory for iPhone 4
I bought this really cheap from Amazon.com for $20 including S&H. The product is high quality to my surprise. Perfect for my iPhone 4.
The base has good velvety bottom and heavy enough to stay onto the dashboard without any need for an anchor/hook such as the one that is included in this kit. No problem for abrupt braking or quick acceleration.
The suction detaches easily if you want the phone holder to be placed on to the windshield (which is illegal by the way in California).
Phone holder fits any phone's width as it is adjustable, wide or slim such as the iPhone 4, and with a quick release knob.
The product's image is slightly different from the one I got from the vendor (which is better actually). The Amazon product image, which I ordered, has it on top and bottom. The one that was shipped to me has the holder positioned on the sides which I actually prefer. I guess the vendor did a complementary gesture for me for being patient...

High quality and versatile
I'm very impressed with this item. I did quite a bit of research to find a holder for my iPhone 4 (with case). I first tried Griffin GC17093 TuneFlex AUX Hands-free for iPhone and iPod since I had a similar Griffen product for my iPod Touch. The Griffin was terrible so I returned it. (Check out my review on that product, if interested.)
When this product arrived, I was pleasantly surprised.
Pros:
> Sturdy and well made
> Highly adjustable
> Looks good -- not cheap
> Includes a safety hook (I was rear ended last year and my Garmin friction mount flew to the back of my van.)
> Solid base is heavy so it stays put
> Works for any device
> Arms are adjustable so can be set to avoid headset jacks and chargers.
> Includes two extra, longer arms
Cons:
> The extra, longer arms cam in their own package with no instructions. Took me a few...
