I need a good car mount!

Any suggestions? I looked at the official one from sprint and read some bad things about it. Can't mount SD card....etc. I would like to be able to charge my phone, mount the SD card and maybe be able to use the camera. Thanks.

I like the official one, but Sprint also has a universal one that is very nice IMHO. It squeezes from all 4 sides and holds very nicely. I would recommend checking it out.

Re: I need a good car mount!

I bought the Kensington car mount from Amazon after reading a review on xda. The mount is made for an iphone but works perfectly with the Evo (no case). The mount is only $23, holds the phone tight, swivels from portrait to landscape and comes with both a windshield and vent mount. I have only used the vent mount and can tell you it works very well. You might also want to check buy.com as a few weeks ago they were selling this mount for $10 shipped after rebate. For the price it can't be beat.

Thanks for the info......What is the cradle that holds onto the phone made of? Is it padded at all, or over time, will it scratch the sides of a naked Evo?

Thanks again!

Re: I need a good car mount!

I love my kensington mount. I have used both the vent and the windshield suction cup. I am using mine with the TPU case, and it fits perfectly. I like the vent mount because I can run the AC and cool the phone off when I am using GPS, bluetooth and on a phone call. I have had the temp go up to 114F on the windshield mount on a sunny day, so I started using the vent mount with the ac and it kept the phone cool.

Is the car mount only able to hold the naked phone? I have the htc silicone case, seeing if that will work.
