This Car Mounts give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Not quite as good as I had hoped
I wanted a windshield mount for the iPhone to use in my F-350 and do not need bluetooth or FM transmitter. I want to use it with a GPS app and also have the phone easily reachable for calls. All the generic holders I have looked at were ugly and too bulky looking. Plus, I want one that lets me keep my case on my iPhone 3gs while it is in the mount. The price looked good for the Kensington Amplified mount and it appeared to meet my needs. Overall, the Kensington mount is ok, but not great.
The good:
Easy to mount the iPhone in the holder, with or without a case on the phone
Phone seems very secure in the mount, not likely to fall out
Suction cup is strong, adheres to windshield very well
Sound amplification is pretty good when not using a case on the iPhone
Can easily position phone in portrait or landscape mode
Keeps iPhone at my fingertips while driving, easy to answer a call and use speakerphone
The bad:
Length of the flexible...
2. Magnificent product
This is really a magnificent product. I had low expectations for it, but it's really remarkable.
The windshield mount has a quality suction like a GPS device so that it doesn't fall off the window. Additionally, it's extremely easy to mount this to your air conditioning vent. In my car, this was a perfect fit and places my iPhone in a great location.
When the iPhone is mounted it can be swiveled to landscape mode, and there is a nifty little sound amplifier built in which actually works. It's also very easy to dock and undock the iPhone and it can easily accommodate it with or without a case. Finally if you connect power to the device there is plenty of room at the bottom to have the charging cable attached.
My only complaint is that there aren't really any instructions or manual for this gizmo.
I was considering getting the TomTom GPS mount for my car, but this is a far better value IMHO.

Better than I was expecting
I was looking for a mount for my iphone that did two major things - gave me full flexibility as to the position of the phone, and was simple to get the phone in and out of, even with a case. The Kensington Windshield mount meets both of these goals very well. The windshield mount sticks very securely; it has yet to fall off. The suction cup included with my TomTom navigation unit fell off several times during every trip, so this is a big improvement. Inserting the phone and removing it is dead simple - it's so easy that I am using it even for short trips when I'm not listening to music or using the navigation as taking phone calls or glancing at alerts is much easier. As already noted, the mount comes with several different rubber inserts for the bottom of the phone to aid in the amplification. I was able to find one set that fit my case fairly well, and the amplification works decently. I have no trouble hearing the phone over the radio. One niggle is that those rubber mounts...
