With the number of iPhone turn-by-turn GPS software solutions increasing, you will most likely need a way to secure it in your car. There are many cheap solutions available in the major mobile phone retailers and the word ‘cheap’ sums them up quite nicely. Some of them are shocking and the better ones seem to escalate in price at a rate not justified by the quality of the product.
PDA Hut recently sent me one of their new iPhone windscreen cradles which retails for the relatively budget price of £18.99. At first glance it looks quite slim and without the chunkiness of the more expensive cradles you can buy. However, the stem is metal and the actual cradle section is made of good quality plastic, with an extra clasp at the top of the unit.
Inserting and removing the iPhone is very easy to do and there is adequate space at the bottom for a charger. Space has also been made for the volume controls which is vital when using GPS and the flexibility of movement is quite superb. With movement possible in every direction and with little effort to place it, it is almost impossible to not get the correct position.
Now, what else can I write about a windscreen cradle? Oh yes… nothing. Seriously, it is a quality solution which is extremely good value and one that will live with you as long as you keep your iPhone. Highly recommended.
Available from PDA Hut for £18.99. PDA Hut is also selling the iPhone Handsfree Office / PDA Holder for £24.99.

Does it twizzle (technical term) to horizontal. Would be handy for co-pilot
Does this mount work if you have a protective plastic case on the back of the phone, or do you have to remove it first? I wouldnt blame it if it didnt, I just want to check before ordering. Thanks.
