Window mounted Vehical mount

Anybody know when this mount is going to be available? This will probably be the best mount for the incredible, just like the moto droid had one specifically for it.

This mount cannot be used with any case or anything like that. So when you say best that's subjective at best.

How come people worry bout the volume buttons, when you use the car radio buttons to control the volume, or am I missing something?

I purchased the Verizon mount for my wife's Incredible and we didn't like it. The suction mount wouldn't stick to the window of her Honda Fit. She didn't like having to take the phone out of it's protective case to use the car mount. She had absolutely no use for the belt clip-type holder, as she carries her Incredible in her purse.

So, if you are looking to keep your Incredible in a protective skin, the Verizon mount is not for you. I have been underwhelmed by the quality of the OEM accessories available for the HTC Incredible. My MotoDroid accessories are better designed and of better quality.

I got the Verizon mount and went on a trip this past weekend. I think it works moderately well, maybe a 7 out of 10 stars. The suction cup worked very well, but the arm extension is fixed and the way the mount locks into the arm is awkward and seems less than steady. I've got a protective case that is extremely easy to take on and off the phone, so I don't mind that the mounting case won't accept protective phone cases. But this is asinine on the part of the product developers, IMO. Also, when turning the phone from landscape to portrait, the weight of the car charger pulls the phone down a little...I just don't like that; puts stress on the pin dock. It's better to leave the orientation to landscape for the good of the phone. I do think the beefiness of the entire unit is good, it won't fall down when hitting a bump in the road. It's also competitively priced with other units I've looked at. $29 at the VZW store.

Has anyone tried the braketron cup holder mounts?

Looks like it might block access to the volume buttons.

I used my Bracketron before I got the Verizon one. Works fine. You need to work a little on positioning the left bracket so that you can plug the phone in but not have it hit the volume keys, but it works well.

be careful looks here as you wont be able to plug your incredible in and it may keep pressure on your volume toggle

whats being referenced here is the up volume and down volume buttons on the left side of phone can be interfered with by some mounts holding arms! Some holding arms also make it hard or impossible to plug your Incredible in to car power

Those side arms slide up and down to accomodate a wide variety of button locations on different phones. Anywho, I went with an Arkon mount on Amazon. Comes with the suction cup mount and a air vent mount. $19.95 with free shipping.

I have this arkon mount:

SM429-SBH



The holder works great for the Incredible, doesn't hit any buttons block the charging port. They have a smaller windshield style too:

I think it looks less chunky and cooler than some of the other windshield mounts in this thread.
