Thought Out PED3-Auto-FORM Steel Car Mount (iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, 3G, Original-iPod touch 3g, 2g, 1g)

Thought Out PED3-Auto-FORM Steel Car Mount
  • Protective vinyl covers allow full use of ports/controls for cased or skinned iPhone (Original, 3G, 3G S) or iPod touch (1g, 2g, 3g) one fits all cases (including Otter box and Mophie Air)
  • Rotate infinitely 360 degrees. 5/16" diameter x 5 inch steel flexible neck for endless positioning
  • Base, with concealed fasteners and 0°, 45° & 90° mounting for a clean look. Includes AdPad-vhb adhesive pad, suction cup mount and screw mount
  • High quality solid steel and solid molded construction. Baked on hard anti-scratch coating
  • Interchangeable with NAJA King and PED3

The "fingers" on this car mount are adjustable by bending the ends of the metal fingers to fit the iPhone or iPod being used. The "fingers" then stay in the required position. The metal is springy enough that I can "click" the iPhone into place in the mount and then remove the phone to take with me when I leave the vehicle. I adjusted the mount to fit my iPhone with an iFrogz cover and it also fits my husband's iPhone which has a silicone cover. There is no need to readjust the mount "fingers" when we switch between phones in the mount.

The base of the mount can be attached to the dash with the included double sided tape or suction cups, but we have attached it to the front panel of the dash with the included screws. This gives the mount a very secure feel. The flexible arm of the mount stays in position when the phone is installed and does not "droop". I use the mount so that I can have easy access to the phone for voice dialing as well as GPS functions.

The base that we used for the screw mounting is metal, but the cover over the mount is plastic. The flexible arm and "fingers" are metal. The end of the "fingers" have rubber covers to keep the metal from scratching the iPhone or iPod. The orientation of the phone can be rotated somewhat so that the phone can be angled for easy viewing for the driver or passenger.

I am very happy with this phone mount and recommend it highly.

Though this is sold with several supposed mounting options a couple of them either don't work or are impractical. This item seems well made until you get to the mounting. They are happy to sell you more sticky pads for a fairly hefty price considering if the first ones don't work. Unfortunately they won't stand up to the heated interior of a car so don't bother.

Works nicely. It is indeed a well thought out product design.

My only issue (as several others have pointed out) is the adhesive pad that comes with the mount. Despite following the instructions to the letter the adhesive did not hold for even 1 second even without the weight of the phone. Just the weight of the arm and phone holder was too much for the adhesive.

Used the included screws and the mount is a very solid performer.

The PED 3 Auto does just that. It holds your iPhone very securely yet leaves it maneuverable enough in your vehicle to fit most situations. The "finger" edges are bendable to conform to your phone, whether it be in or out of a case. And YES it works with Otter Box cases.

The holder is all metal and heavy duty, including the bendable post, and the holder rotates 360 degrees. The base is plastic but has a metal point for the post to screw in and the whole base bolts onto a metal plate on the bottom of the base. The base also has multiple spots for the post to screw in to fit anywhere and anyway you may choose to mount it. The 'sticky' pad that comes with the holder is sufficient enough to attach to glass or a smooth surface dash and hold securely even in the intense summer heat, which for me can reach up to the 100's(F).

I consider this to be the ultimate iPhone holder. It works well with any charger or itunes (am/fm) set up. In fact I liked it so much I also bought the stand for my home so I can have one inside as well. PED 3 really has it together.
