Windscreen or vent mounted iPhone holder - WB - 03-07-2012 08:17pm

I'm thinking about getting one of the speed camera apps for my iPhone to hopefully delay the inevitable points on my license. Has anybody found a good holder they can recommend?

Thanks

Have a look at these.but i'm sure i have read you wont get a signal in the evoque due to the windscreen blocking the signal. Confused

Thanks very much for those suggestions. Ideally I'd like to keep the iPhone in my incipio feather case which I think won't work with the first two and the Brodit is too low.

Which signal is it that won't work the gps?

The Trapster app seems to work even without a gos signal so I'm going to give that a go.

I bought one of these

very good and was surprised how it manages to stick to the windscreen when it is not sticky to the touch, it can be removed and repositioned as many times as you like and it is adjustable so will fit other phones too, although I now have a HTC One X and it won't fit as too big - it also comes with a smaller doubled sided tape mount too so you could put it anywhere!

I have the Brodit one and agree it's really too low; you have to look at it rather than glance at it.

I don't have any problem with the GPS signal in any of the GPS apps that I have though, using iPhone 4S.
