I'm looking for a car-mount that will fit the Wizard.
I don't want a speaker or any connectors, just a mount, preferably with lots of foam so it doesn't squeek and rattle. I also don't want a 'window sucker' model.
I've googled it but can't find anything that says it will work with the Wizard.
Anyone seen/got one that will fit?

Me to. :)
I've been using Brodit mounts for the last couple of years but I keep swaping cars (between my own and a company one) recently.
This is the most promising one I've found so far.

I like the look of this one because when I get a better case (flip type) there should be room to mount with it left in side.

Good range. Arkon only do a 'sucker' windshield mount for the jam/k-jam though.
Still looking.
Is there a UK site with them?
Any ideas when K-Jam accessories will appear? I want some screen protectors and don't like cutting bigger ones down to size.

Boxwave do some screen protectors and do ship to the UK.

The Arkon kit CM910 has a vent, sticky Dash and suction cup mount included.

I think expansys do some Arkon Kit.

Edit : I forgot to mention that Halfords do a expanding Phone Vent mount I think it's about £15.

Brodit is introducing a passive mount early this month (presumably 1st half).
Although I have not found any retailer selling it at the moment.

Cool I''ve been holding out for that one :) But I might get a cheap suction holder for the other cars I use.

I just bought a cheap HR Richter mini holder while I await a Brodit active holder.
Doesn't make sence for me to buy a passive holder now and an active holder in a while.

I'm using a plain old simple magnetic car holder from carphone warehouse which works just fine for me. £5 from carphonewarehouse - job done. :D

Halfords has a universal holder for £14.99 that held my Vario very securely when I tried it in the shop and did not obscure the speakers or the USB port. It came with a window sucker and a sticky pad option. I'm not sure if there were clip or magnetic options as well.
Tesco have a universal holder for £4.97 that clips to the air vents. It was in a bubble pack and I could not tell whether it would open wide enough. But I don't suppose Tesco would object to a refund if it didn't, since there is no way to try before you buy.

Further to my post above I just bought a universal holder from a Vodafone shop for £5.00. It has air vent and sticky pad options and a slick/smooth adjustment operation - better than other units I tried for £10+. There is a gap at the bottom for headphones and USB charging if needed.
I don't like the idea of blowing hot air all over the back of the phone for hours in the middle of winter so I've plumped for the sticky option. I have yet to test it on the move with the Vario attached. I'll leave it overnight for the adhesive to stay stuck and then see how it goes.

I've got one on my wizard and it looks great. I messed the first one up and i stuck the wrong side down on the screen and it gave an oil kind of effect on the screen, i'm sure the peel off sticker was on the wrong side, anyway i binned that and used one of the others i got and now it looks and fits great. had it on a few weeks now and its not scratched yet.
my last boxwave screen protector lasted over a year.

No, the "base" only sticks out 3 or 4mm

Am I right in assuming that Brodit holders aren't padded in any way? No sponge or felt to protect the side of your PDA?
Si.

Not sure if they are or not...doesn't look like it.
BUT, proclipusa.com has them in stock (landscape, passive) right now. I just ordered mine and one for the Razr V3 (active) for my wife, and dash mounts for both.

Actually they are little white "sponge" like pads at the holding points on each side. Sorry for the mis-information.

I received this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5873263456&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT) this morning and it's well worth the money. The Wizard fits perfectly and it comes with a vent mount kit and a windscreen sucker. I prefer the sucker because it hold's the Wizard firmly to the windscreen and you don't see any cables. I'd definately recommend the mount and the seller.

I bought the same thing from GPS4less
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=3090&PHPSESSID=18e575902cf018ceda84c8695d526b3f
same price, free delivery, and came with the rj11 cable free too - so that works out £15 cheaper than ebay!
