*Aweb* · 13-10-2009, 2:59 PM

I'm after one for my 3GS.

Has anyone come across one that will clamp on the phone? (reason for this is I don't want to take off my case

I'd like it to be able to clip onto a vent and windscreen if poss
I want to be able to rotate from portrait to landscape

I don't want to spend more than £10

Is this achieavable?

Good luck, i think you will struggle with the budget.

Picked up a Kensington Iphone car mount on eBay a while back for £14 + shipping - does everything you need!

Do a search for KENSINGTON IPOD CAR MOUNT - seems to US sellers returned. Mine was bought from a UK seller called "inktastic"

Don't think you can rotate any of them though apparent fromt the first link that RobM83 gave...

A brodit clip and mount will do everything you want apart from hit your budget. You'd be looking at £35'ish.
I guess it depends on how much you'll use it, but I've always found cheap mounts are just too wafty and I hate it. You've spent out on a decent phone...get a decent mount for it

I have one too, fantastic for the money. Can be rotated 90 degrees to (i use CoPilot in landscape mode).

It won't be easy to get what you want with a relatively low budget, or maybe I'm just fussy, in fact I know I am, I couldn't find a bracket that quite met my needs so created my own Hybrid design!

I don't understand why a manufacturer can't produce something similar for around £30 - £40, the TomTom bracket looks really good but very expensive.

At least I've managed to re-use the original cigarette/usb charger from the belkin Tunebase direct, in fact I had a Belkin micro usb cigarette adapter but this wouldn't charge my iPhone when connected to the mini USB port?

I bought one too, after your recommendation. I like it

Interesting! I've just bought a cheapy universal clamp cradle which will attach to an air vent or a sticky pad! It only cost me a quid so i'm going to have a quick play with it to see if it can be modified to rotate!
