It has a locking back that holds the arm in posittion you want. and allows the phone to slide open and close very easily. And has a camera hole. So you could video your driving skills.

this one looks very interesting... how is the suction though. does it feel like its price or is it of high quality? please be honest.

I got my holder for about $8 shipped for touch pro(1) but i am still using it for TP2 as it seem to hold most phones anyways. Although it has gooseneck it does not shake in car and can pivot 360%, has padding so it will not scratch the sides of phone, very strong large suction cup with suck-in lever, click sound when rotating, full access to usb and headphone jack while on the holder, does not block the screen but the coolest function is the release mechanism that when button pushed opens sides very slowly. Have used it for about 8 month with no problems. I got it from here(not affiliated with site just sharing my experience):

The siction is great. Like i said. It has never fell off or dropped my phone. The suction cup has a lever to force a stronger hold.

The Bracketron is a solid piece of equipment, And i highly recommend it, i just bought another one two weeks ago, but i wish i knew Walmart had it for cheaper, instead of the $35 at BestBuy, but outside of that it is still worth the $35, I had my last one for 2 years and used it with my first Tilt and now with the TILT 2. But i had to take it off every day and it eventually broke from the constant on, off, But i figured out that by pressing the release buttons while putting it on will save on the wear and tear, so my new one should last quite awhile.

Thanks for the review on the Bracketron & not 15 other devices!

Isaw it at Bestbuy for $35 too last night, and figured it had to be available elsewhere for less. Had no clue Wal-Mart would be the place and for soooo much less. -- Thanks again!

i owned that exact one for my TP.... it was wonderful at first but its shoddy construction started to show over time.... first, the suction cup started, well, sucking (or not, however you look at it), i had to open it up a couple times to fix the locking mechanism, and then the wire inside the neck eventually just snapped. i bought a haicom mount online for the same price (here) and there was a hell of a difference. i'm happy now

Any problems with these holders and verizon tp2's? I got a dock for mine, but it doesn't fit because the usb port is in the wrong place. I don't know what/if anything else is different, but now I own a tp2 dock I can't use.

I have been using one for about a year. Its ok for $12. Within 6 month some foam pcs fell off. But it does the job. Now if your winshield allows to set it closely to the dash and still be able for you to see, then it might be a good product, but for my cargo van you can't so IT DOES SHAKES BADLY (especialy that TP2 is quite heavy).

I have ordered mount in second or third post from RPAS5404, but unfortunately it has been 3 weeks and I still haven't seen anything. He usured me that it is for Spring TP2 and that I will get it by 10th, but now he is quite for past 2 days. Hopefully I will see it soon to give some feedback about that one.

But as far as Bracketron - I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. But that just my 2c

I have a VZW TP2 and the mount i am using allows acess to both the usb and audio jack.
