This Car Mounts give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Solid car mount for my Lumia
This car holder works as well as you might expect. It holds in place on the windshield very well and has two ways to display your phone, portrait or landscape. It's a little expensive, but the quality seems as though it will hold up well in the years to come. The only complaint I might have, and it isn't necessarily a complaint of the car mount as it is to the way it interacts with my phone, is that the power and volume buttons on my Lumia 900 are prone to being depressed by the sides of the mount, depending on the position the phone is in. It's somewhat annoying, but for me it isn't any kind of deal breaker.
If you have a big case on a larger phone (such as an Otterbox on a 920), then I might be concerned that it would be too big for the mount. I can't say for sure, as I haven't tried it personally, but it could be an potential problem.
2. Works with Lumia 920
Very nice looking holder.
The phone is secured in an adjustable clamp which can be rotated vertically or horizontally. The clamp can be slowly released by pressing a little trigger in the back. An extra retainer can be used to make sure the phone does not fall out of the clamp when positioned vertically.
The holder is advertised as compatible with devices up to 130 x 70 x 16 mm and 200 g.
The Lumia 920 is 130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7 mm and 185 g. It is therefore a little bit too wide to fit perfectly by design and it shows: the clamp has to be kept at its maximum extension to insert the phone. That said it fits, provided that the retainer is adjusted once so that the clamp does not squeeze the middle button of the phone (i.e. so that the phone is hold at about a 1/3 from the bottom).
The extra retainer has a hole so that a charger can be easily plugged in the phone while it is in the holder.
Note: the front of the box displays a picture...

Perfect for the Nokia Lumia 920 (and I suspect many other phones too)
I've bought plenty of phone mounts trying to find something that was functional (holds the phone securely, doesn't hide buttons, charger or jack, turns at least 90 degrees), sturdy, and attractive. It mounts from the dash or from the windshield. The bottom is adjustable and has a hole for the power cable to pass through, which also reinforces it (preventing it from getting bent down when in landscape orientation). I happen to see this in a Nokia video that was showcasing mapping features and hunted it down. While it's 2x as expensive @ $40 than what I wanted to spend, it's worth it. the bracket is thicker than my wife would like to use in her car, but it's perfect for me. I'm finally done looking for the perfect dash mount.
