Bought this for my HTC Glacier as I use its GPS instead of my Garmin now (Google maps is just so much faster and more accurate) so I got this to use for that and I'm very happy with it. It's well built, feels really solid and not cheap at all. It's still usable for now, but I think in another month or two, I'll probably have to switch over to using the dash mount. I like the fact that the item included both the windshield and vent mount.
I purchased this product for my Droid X to use the GPS on a trip to Chicago from Des Moines, Iowa. It held perfectly throughout the 8 hour drive, worked with the charger and the headphone jack, and cooled with the air conditioning.
I used this for my phone, which is a Motorola Matrix 4G with the Otterbox Commuter case. The phone fits in just fine, and all ports (audio/USB/mini HDMI/volume buttons) are not hindered by the mount.
Another review stated that it 'just worked' with the Incredible. I have NO idea what that means because it will hold this phone and much larger as well. I do have a fear that the clamp release button will eventually wear out on it, but until it does, it gets a five star rating from me. I purchased this for my new MyTouch 4g.
Really gives you tons of options how to mount: suction cup to windshield, suction to mount that they provide (can be stuck anywhere on your dash), and mounted to the air-vent with clamps. At first I tried the air vents but it didn't seem to be the sturdiest (and frankly was in the way of my turn signal.
EVO 4G owners, this is the clip for you. I'm not saying that other smartphone owners (Droid, Droid-X, Droid-2, iPhone) cannot use this in fact I dare say it's the best mount for any of those phones - but I have an EVO and it's PERFECT. Now I can keep my eyes on the road, use GPS, MP3 & blue tooth phone without looking down. Great quality and price too!
If you have the extended battery or a case -- you are out of luck. I found this case to be a cheap, functional replacement. This is still a bit disappointing, as in my car, mounting it on the windshield puts the phone up fairly high, which is why I wanted the vent mount. If you want a vent mount, I'd look elsewhere. I'm happy with the product. It works as advertised. I am using the Arkon with the vent mount. The mount fit the vents in my Monte Carlo just fine. I have it placed on my dashboard and it is as tough as a rock. I had some mounts that would just fall of my vent and then my stuff would be everywhere. I use it dash mounted. It holds my iPhone 4 perfectly!

When mounted in a vent, which notoriously won't be very close to you, the mount will not allow the phone so swivel left/right far enough to have a clear direct view of the device. medicine cabinets recessed mirror.
