other aspects of the ihome that i really like:

- aux in – if for some reason in the future the ipod dock breaks, i can run a line from the ipod to the ihome; nice backup

- charging – when docked, the ihome charges my ipod. nice feature.

I feel like I'm one screen push away from ripping it right out of the connector and damaging both the product and iPod. The one I used in the hotel had a wheel that adjusted a back-plate behind the iPod, securing it in place. This one just rests in the slot in with the help of a small plastic adapter. <br />Outside of that, it really is nice unit and a terrific buy. I haven't used it with an iPhone so I can't speak to the feedback issues some people claim to have with these units, but iPod users can't go wrong.

The suction pump has a long arm which can be moved 180 degrees from one end to another. The phone holder connects to that arm with a ball joint so you can pretty much move/rotate your phone at any angle. The suction cup sticks on the dash pad pretty well unlike the Griffin mount. As long as you have a flat or near flat spot on the dashboard, this mount will stay on there good. The only complain I have is as you release those side clamps, your phone is barely sitting on those two little tabs at the bottom. Imagine if the phone doesn't sit right on them as you release the clamps, your phone will fall off easily. It's a pretty well constructed mount, you just need to be careful when you release the clamps and hold on to your phone. Review by Ying for Kensington Dash Car Mount for iPhone and iPod

We had a Belkin dock for a couple years...the one that plugs into the A/C and has the arm that extends out and moves where you want it. We just always had so much trouble with it staying put. We have an Ipod Classic 160GB, and it is the heaviest model, and the dock would always slip because we could never get it to be tight enough in the A/C plug. It was SO FRUSTRATING! This product is great. It is not a power supply and it does not have an FM transmitter. We use a tape deck to play the Ipod through, so that we get the best sound, so we don't need the FM transmitter. And, we have an A/C plug for the Ipod so we just leave it plugged in while we drive so the Ipod doesn't run down the battery. ANYWAY, this Kensington "arm" dock is so great. It turns every which way so that you can mount it anywhere. We have a van that has a console that sticks out so we actually mounted it on the side of the console, so that the Ipod now sits right next to the radio and the cords can all reach. I really recommend this for anyone who does not need the FM transmitter or A/C connector dock. VERY STURDY, VERY EASY TO INSTALL, VERY FLEXIBLE FOR USE, GREAT DESIGN!! <br /> <br />June 2009 update: <br />We still love this but wanted to update and say that in the summer, the adhesive just doesn't stick so well...so about every time we get in the van we have to re-stick it. It doesn't ever fall when we are in the car, after we re-stick it and we have the AC going...but just when not in use. So at least it is not putting our Ipod in danger of falling. We still love it and would recommend it. Review by Jill L. Levenhagen for Kensington Dash Car Mount for iPhone and iPod
