Car holder/ mount...

Hello!
Anybody use Xperia in car as Navi or Handsfree system? Do u ppl use any carholder/mount?
I saw http://www.brodit.com/. Looks nice and you can use it in landscape mode.
For now it's the best looking carholder I found online. Maybe someone has one to share opinion about it?

I use pro clips, which is definitely one of the best ones out there in my opinion.

There is a cheap custom fit holder for the X1 on ebay, which fits the phone perfectly. It's cheap, too.

I use the brodit. works pretty nicely. Has a snug feel to it. I'm using that with the car charger, so when the keyboard is open the usb is pointing down so its perfect.

Don't have one yet, but always tend to go with Brodit, good quality products.

Finally! A car mount that is EXACTLY what I envisioned:

Might be cheap, but I will soon find out. Ordered, but with the slow shipping method. The same company also sells it on ebay. There are clones of it as well.

My main concern with any of these is that they will wear the finish. What do the users of these car mounts have to say about wear on the X1's finish?

With the one I'm using (which btw seems to be the same one JKingDev mentioned) it's no problem at all, as the phone sits firmly in the holder and has no room to shake around in it. Therefore it is very unlikely to scratch or wear the phone's finish.

Really? Glad to hear that it works well. Where did you order yours from? Did it ship from Hong Kong?
