Looking for iPhone 4 Cradle Suggestions

[cab13367]

Well, since my iPhone 4 will not fit in any of the supplied adaptors that came with my Griffin TuneFlex Aux cradle (which I bought for my iPhone 3G), I am in the market for a new cradle that accepts the iPhone 4. I don't want to use a suction cup mount (will eventually fall off at some point) and don't want to drill any holes in the dash for a fixed mount. And I would like it up near the dash so I can conveniently manipulate the iPhone.

One idea is to use a handlebar mount like the one below and install it on the vertical windshield support pole. Has anyone gone this route and if so, how is it working out, and which mount did you get?

Thanks,

Al

I'm sure it will easily work...just have to insert a rubber type ring/grommet inside the clamp part that will hold the vertical bar. I have some spare rubber inserts that came with my tower mirror that you could probably cut to fit inside the clamp. Let me know and I can mail you a couple

Thx for the offer YDM but I have some extra shims from various clamps also.

I use an adjustible width scoche brand that you can get at walmart. I didn't use the flexible arm or the suction cup, just the cradle only. It's adhered it to the fiberglass left of the ignition using 3M command strips.

You can kinda see the mount and cord hanging from it in this pic...

Al is that the one they have at the Apple store at the mall? I was there yesterday and saw a new one for the I-4.

Claudias phone locked up and went into recovery and she thought it was toast and was pushing me to buy a new I-4 so she could have my 3GS lol.

Brain that looks like the one Al has right now on his boat.

It must be somewhat different because mine works great with an iphone 4.

Well its hard to see the details of yours, Als has these side arms that just keep it from falling off and then had a small foot at the bottom, it doesnt realy grip the phone. Ill let Al explain it but i was just helping out as hes busy working or something..

No wait he cant be working cause thats when hes online here LOL.

Mike,

It's not from the Apple store, I just saw it online somewhere, from Amazon I think. I ended up buying a similar one from eBay. We'll see how it works.

Brain,

I do have a similar set up as you now, in the same location, as Mike said. But mine does not secure the iPhone (or any other device for that matter) very well at all and I would like it a little higher up on the dash so I can change songs, etc, while driving.
