Is it made of gold?

I've used the dlo vent mount for over a year and it works great:
Yes, the Pro-Clip is really pricey...but the DLO doesn't look like it'll handle a phone in a case, and I'm reluctant to use anything that impairs the use of the vent.

Think I'm going to wait on this awhile until I actually see something in use that looks perfect; probably will just get a cheapie window or dash mount thing for the infrequent times I use GPS, and keep the phone on the car seat when I'm just using it for music/podcasts. In the meantime, think I'll bite the bullet and spend on a connection kit that goes to the head unit....too much money (seems to be a theme here), but don't want to deal with the clutter of having separate power/audio cables.

doh, that's right. I actually bought two of these: one for my wife and one for myself. It didn't work for her because she uses a case. You can't even use one of those vinyl skins with the DLO.

The Pro-Clip is pricey but if it works well for your application it may be worth it.

However, I do recall seeing a cheapy DIY pro-clip somewhere (do a google search) using a metal plate and a couple screws. This was like two years ago but if I recall correctly it didn't look half bad.
