Default Official car holder by HTC

Hi guys,
recently bought a few car holders - they were cheap and broke after a month.

I've decided to to buy one that will survive longer and came across this:
htc.com / smartphones / accessories / htc-car/

As you can see, HTC promises this to come out this month - April.
  1. Does anyone know anything about this holder?
  2. Can you suggest another good, quality holder?

p.s.
I'm only interested in holders that are tailored for the phone - don't want any generic ones that change their size.

Thanks you.

Check out Arkon products on ebay.
I use one and its lasted a year so far. Not the cheapest but decent quality and lots of different designs available to suit different mobiles.

I know this is an old thread but...

No one has mentioned Brodit car holders (eBay/Amazon/etc), they're a Swedish manufacturer. They come in two parts: the bases are specifically designed for your car, sometimes for a particular position (above the dash vents or by the A-pillar) and slot into the edges of the console mouldings; the holders screw onto the bases, are specific to your phone and come in active and passive versions - active versions have a 12V connector built in however the passive holders always allow access to the USB port.

They're not the cheapest but they're robust and secure, no suckers involved, easy to swivel (landscape/portrait). If you change your car, you get a new base part, change your phone, get a new holder. Can't recommend them highly enough.
