 Excellent for Blackberry Curve, horrible for anything smallerDec 29, 2008
By John D. Campbell
First, let me assure you I do not like writing negative reviews. However, I must immediately inform you that this product is NOT for an iPod nano! I repeat, it is NOT for an iPod nano or anything around that size. In fact, the only thing it is useful for is holding my Blackberry Curve 8330.
I implore you to not use it for anything much smaller than a Blackberry Curve. If you are unsure of the size I am talking about, then get out a deck of cards. If your product is smaller, then absolutely do not buy this. If your product is around the same size then take the chance--after all it's pretty cheap. But on that point, you do get what you pay for.
Right out of the box, the holder was very (and I mean VERY) sensitive. If you jarred it the slightest bit, the extensible arm would shoot out to full length. Of course where do we want to use this apparatus? In our vehicles! This was a poorly engineered product that would have promise were it not for the "locking mechanism." It basically uses tiny saw-like teeth to "lock" or more like "struggle for a one-fingered grasp" in place. My iPod nano just wouldn't stay and would constantly fall out.
Although I would love to go ahead and give this product rave reviews for being an amazingly useful and amazingly inexpensive phone holder for your car so that you all can rest easy and "make that darned purchase decision" already, I just can't bring myself to do that. This product advertises itself as an Apple iPod mini/nano+phone universal holder. It's all that without the iPod mini/nano compatibility and universality. Use it for your smartphone or maybe even your iPod classic but don't purchase it for anything smaller and expect to get much use out of it. At first maybe your holder will be less fussy, but the simple fact is the design is hugely flawed and any slight degree of wear/tear (i.e.: bumping into it or it falling off your vent to hit your padded floor) will likely turn it into a monster of a nuisance.

How can it be so inexpensive (edit: not inexpensive anymore)Jul 31, 2008
By atanos

There are a lot of fancy, expensive mounts out there for your ipod, cell phone, etc. But I don't any of them does a better job than this simple beauty. The vent clip is genius and actually worked very well in my '06 Malibu. Very secure. And this thing grips both my cell phone and my Ipod Mini very well. Maybe it won't last very long and that's why it's so cheap. I could see the spring loaded pop out arm breaking after a while, but this thing is so inexpensive, it won't matter a bit. I'm thinking of buying a couple of spares in case it is no longer available when and if the current one breaks.
Edit (9/1/2010):
I bought two of these a couple of years ago, and they both broke. The spring loaded arm won't stay locked in place anymore because the plastic teeth on the gear that locks the arm broke off. I wasn't too upset, because they only cost me a couple of bucks plus shipping. Now they have gone way up in price and are no longer a good deal. Spend a few more dollars for something that isn't junk.

Connection IssuesJan 12, 2010
By John M. Eckert
I tried to use this device to hold my MP3 player, the arms on the side prohibited me from hooking up to my external power (Cigarette Lighter adapter) and it spins around like a clock

 Horrible holster for an LG Dare phone.Dec 27, 2008
By Angela
"Angel"
Don't buy this unless you have an ultraslim square-bottomed phone or appliance. I have an LG Dare, and it won't fit in this holster like I thought it would. The description said it would hold almost any phone, but it's not strong enough for my Dare. The lip on the bottom is very short. I'm sure this would work for the slim iPods or an iPhone maybe or something like that. I am disappointed...oh well.
