The Bracketron Grip-it Mount is an excellent product if you want a removable phone holder in your car. The adjustable holder opens to 4.5”, allowing almost any handheld device to be used in the mount. It mounts to the vent, which allows you to remove the mount at any time, but is very secure. You can rotate the holder for portable GPS, satellite radios or phones with horizontal screens. The holder is padded, which protects your device from scratches. This device is easy to use, easy to install, secure and only costs you the use of one vent in your car.

Bury Comfort Cradle for Blackberry Curve 8300 Series

The Bury Comfort Cradle for Blackberry Curve, 8300, 8310, and 8320 phone is a convenient way to mount your phone in a car. This cradle, made specifically for these Blackberry phones, provides a solid fit, power, and an external antenna connection. You can increase your signal reception either with the included blade style antenna or by connecting the cradle to a signal booster such as the Wilson Amplifiers.

While the cradle does not provide hands free functions, teaming it with a good Bluetooth Headset or Car Kit completes the package.

The Bury cradle is good quality, fits the phone well, and works as advertised. The external antenna connection is a real plus for those that need to increase their signal. It also makes it easy to see your phone in the car and provides all the benefits of a full install car kit when used with Bluetooth headsets or car kits. We prefer the Bluetooth headset just so we can use it in or out of car.

Bury also makes its own line of Bluetooth Car Kits including units with large LCD touch screens. More info on those at a future date.

Pro Fit International has released the miGrip and miniGrip cell phone holder. Pro Fit describes the holder as -

The miGrip is a universal holder designed for handheld devices. The sleek, smart look compliments most devices on the market. The smooth clamping action secures your electronics with class. The miniGrip is a smaller version designed for today’s small handheld devices.

When mounting, either can be rotated 180 degrees to best fit your device depending on the application. The support tabs can be removed or relocated on the opposite end and may be adjusted to allow for different sized plugs on the bottom of the device.

Both models come with an adapter plate for easy installation on VSM or universal mounting solutions. The adapter plate allows for quick removal or transfers to another vehicle or mount.

Ideal for all standard sized iPod’s including any of the photo versions, plus the iPod mini. PDA’s and wireless ‘smart’ phones will also look great when secured with the miGrip or miniGrip. Find a chart here for recommendations as to which version is compatible with your phone.

If you are looking for a good way to keep your cell phone accessible in the car, the Pro Fit miGrip might be the perfect option.
