Got this on a whim when I saw the sale.
Was worried since I didn't know the brand very well, and I hadn't seen this product in person before.
The build quality of the unit seems good. It's also pretty stylish looking. The back plate and clamps have rubbery foam pads on them which will protect your device from scratches and blemishes.
The digital display and buttons on the top work very well and are easy to use.
The FM Transmitter on this thing is very impressive. I've owned a handful of FM transmitters and this is the best I've had. It completely takes over the station I have it set to and plays very clean audio with zero static, hiss, fuzzy, breakups, or quality loss.
The audio also goes right through the lower dock connector, which is nice. You only need to use the headphone jack if you want to utilize the hands free features of the phone/device. Plugging the small cable (included) from your headhphone jack to the "hands free" port on the device allows you to play phone calls through your car speakers.
While the audio quality won't be as good as a direct auxiliary stereo input, I was very impressed... and I consider myself to have pretty high standards for audio quality. (Just make sure your device volume isn't blasted too high, or it will sound over driven. Be sure to put it at 50-75% and use your car stereo volume the rest of the way). On the plus side, you don't have to worry about tethering your device to the stereo input with this method (FM vs Aux in).
The "Goose neck" is sturdy yet easy to manipulate. The dock is also tilt able and is very easy to angle towards you, no matter where you are looking at it from. The dock holds the device (in my case, an iPhone 3G) very nicely and firmly. I noticed that the best way to ensure a snug fit is to pre-tighten the clamps and then slide the device in snugly, rather than placing the device in the dock first and then attempting to tighten the clamps around it.
I tested the stability of the dock and the fit of the device within the it, and all seemed well. I accelerated quickly, stopped fast, swerved and took sharp corners, etc. Other than a little bit of jitter here and there, it stayed quite stable and I had no fear of my iPhone falling out.
I got this so that I can use my iphone a bit easier without risking serious personal injury while driving. Having no tactile response is dangerous. While a windshield mount may be even better for positioning, This places the iphone within viewable range of my focus. Plus it charges and acts as my FM transmitter, which is great seeing as the iphone has somewhat weak battery life and I love listening to music on my long commute.
Today on my lunch break I had playlist running in the background while I used google maps for GPS and directions to the place I was going. All the while the phone was placed just a short ways above my shifter. Very convenient.
There is even a USB port on the side of the dock, which will charge other USB-chargeable devices.
I definitely recommend this product.
