iPhone Car Mount Options ?

[ChipperJones]

Just picked up my 04 Prius today and couldnt be happier! But i was hoping someone can recommend me a carmout/cradle for my iphone...i just picked up the phone and i love it. But i find it hard to manage whilst on the road. I have been eying the Skiva car mount but then i compare it to the likes of the Naztech N4000 car mount and well, as you can see i have been given descions that i simply cannot make on my own! lol. I am however interested in your take on car mounts or which ones you use. Most of them out their seem to be made of rather cheap materials, is their a premium options? Also a more "universal" option would be great considering the size rumors surrounding the iphone5

Hi Chipper:

Not sure if the iPhone has an OEM adapter like Motorola offers for their Droid RAZR MAXX vehicle navigation dock and other smartphones but it is something to consider...

What do you want to use it for? I've got a dash weighted mount like the one Wayne posted a link to for my 4S and it works well for navigation purposes (can't find it online at the moment). For just holding the phone I have a cheap Belkin cupholder cradle (made of rubber). You just drop the phone into what looks like a black cup with a slot (for a charge/sync cable if you want to attach one) and a wedge in it so that the phone leans at an angle.

I've used the Brodit ProClip phone mounts before, and have been very pleased. (www.proclipusa.com) Its a 2 part system You buy a bracket that is custom designed to clip on your dash, and then a second part that is custom designed for your phone. There are 2 mounting locations available for an 04 Prius:





Then combine it with an iPhone mount (several types available, but I like this one):

I like the looks of the ProClip. Does heat damage or distort it?

No, I've had one in my 98 GMC Sierra going on 7-8 years now. Every 2 years I just buy a new phone mount, and secure it to the vehicle mount. Here's an old pic of my old HTC Tilt installed in my Sierra:
