(More customer reviews)This things got a great suction cup. It grasp the windshield like a lawyer grasp your wallet and a politician grasp at straws.
Unfortunately this thing IS meant primarily for landscape format GPS devices. Even my huge EVo / HTC Super Sonic phone WITH an outer housing/shell isn't wide enough to be grasped by this thing in portrait mode. The photos of an iPhone sitting in this thing in portrait while being grasped are incredibly misleading. I modified mine by padding the arms with with a cut up no-skid under rug traction pad and secured that with nylon electrical tape. (Not the standard sticky crud all over the place style) It works great. The "swivel supports" that hold the phone until you secure the clamps are a bit lose and crazy, I'm going to secure mine with sticky adhesive, not enough to hold it, just enough to make it "gummy" so they only move when I move them.
If you have an iPhone, go get something else. If you have something huge like I have, this may be your only choice. Almost everything else I've looked at is just a little too small for an EVo. If you don't mind a little do it yourself modification this may be your best choice.
On another note - mine was NOT well packaged. It was stuffed in an unpadded envelope and sent via US Mail. Mine suffered damage in shipment, but by the time I was done with the tape and everything else it didn't really matter.
I have no doubt this is one of the best choices for a horizontally mounted GPS unit.-------------Update 03/14/2011--------------------
It crapped out a couple of months ago.
The suction cup tore off of the plastic "piston" that holds it. My theory is the cold weather caused what air was left in the suction cup between the windshield and the suction cup itself to contract, which pulled the cup closer to the windshield, stressing the upper collar, yeah, I'm thinking science here.
Still, in the end it was cheap, and I don't regret it. The one I bought to replace it cost 5x as much and doesn't grasp the windshield as well.
