Though hands-free device mounts are great I don't use them. In my car BT hooks up and I just use the options within my car that is synced with my phone.
I've got an OtterBox for my Droid Bionic. I just put a Velcro strip on the back of the belt clip and stick it to the dash. I guess I'm cheap like that lol. It keeps it out of the sun though.
I've found these work fine until the weather changes - very cold or extremely hot and then then most fall off - particularly the windshield ones. Finally found one from Merkury systems which holds like a vice grip to my dash and very happy.
I have these in all my 3 cars...I use them for my phone...not sure if they work for GPS...you can actually get them cheaper around $10.00 less if you search web! Work GREAT! http://www.niteize.com/collection/steelie.asp

I'm located in the Sonoran desert with massive temperature extremes. Best mount I have used so far is the Mountek CD mount. Unaffected by temperature ever.
When I read about this hands-free patents I wonder why people have to blast theirs conversations out loud through car radio? I even met few times people on the street who were talking on their phone using loudspeaker. If you want hands-free why not buy simple Bluetooth headset (this one you put on your ear)? You than can keep your phone even in your pocket. Why I have to listening to someones conversation?

That's what I use too. Not because of temperature extremes, just because of convenience.

BT
I use the BT through my car radio and before that I used a $25.00 Motorola BT unit that clips on the visor and worked very well.
Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
thank you
Shank you for the link.
I have a mount I bought from ebay but if it fails, I will upgrade to a better ones from here.
