Amazon.com Product Description:
Keeping your iPhone or iPod within easy reach--and fully charged--is a breeze, thanks to this deluxe center-console mounted kit. The Kensington Car Charger Deluxe is designed primarily to dock and charge your iPhone or iPod, so you can easily view and access your device in your car while powering and charging it. As a supplemental value, Kensington includes a separate auxiliary cable in the box so you can play music through your car's Auxiliary port. If you're looking specifically for a car audio solution, Kensington offers several products with an integrated auxiliary cable, such as the LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit or the LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit. Each provides a streamlined audio solution, charging capabilities, and a remote (as well as a dock, in the case of LiquidAUX Deluxe).
Portable Power
Whether playing your favorite music or chatting with a friend, the Car Charger Deluxe keeps your iPhone or iPod charged, usually without having to remove the case.
Hands-Free Conversations
With the speakerphone feature, you can have conversations on your iPhone without taking your hands from the wheel.
Flexibility
The cradle of the Car Charger Deluxe rotates, enabling you to position the device for either vertical or horizontal viewing, while its adjustable arms wrap around your iPhone or iPod for secure fit.
Compatiblity
Kensington's Car Charger Deluxe is compatible with the iPhone; iPod nano (1st and 2nd generation); all iPod generations (1st through 6th); and iPod touch.
Important Note: Sound Effects
When using an auxiliary device in the car, you might hear a slight buzzing sound, engine noise, or high-pitched whine. That is because your car model has a grounding issue between the audio system and the power socket, which causes a whining or buzzing sound when you drive. This sound is not caused by your Kensington product; however, Kensington has an easy solution. Simply purchase an automotive ground loop isolator for your car that is compatible with a 3.5-mm jack. This simple tool will enable you to use your music in a safe, hands-free environment.

- Very, very disappointing
Kensington Car Charger Deluxe for iPhone and iPod This birthday gift was highly anticipated but ultimately thoroughly disappointing.
To begin I struggled for minutes to get the iPod to snap down AND then to learn that room would need to be allowed for AUX use (personally we use a cassette adaptor).
The arm is far too short for any manuvering and the plug wouldn't rest snuggly in the socket, causing the entire unit to follow the forces of gravity.
Great idea - just a horrible execution. ... Read More

- Very Good
I read many reviews for this product before I decided to buy it. Honestly I was afraid because some reviewers wrote many bad things about it. But my decision has been made after I looked at YouTube and after I asked the sales person at Apple store, because they sell this product at the Apple.
Well, honestly it is very good, I'm amazed satisfied with it, and I recommend for anybody to buy it. I'm using it vertically and not horizontally, which guarantees that it doesn't rollover, because one of the ... Read More

- Why no competition?
Despite the other largely negative reviews, I purchased this because I was looking for a car charger for my iPhone 3G that would also serve as a mounting device.Unfortunately, this seemed to be the only thing that fit the bill (other than the unnecessarily expensive Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G, which is basically the same thing with a built-in auxiliary cable and a remote control).I have to stand by the negative opinions of the other reviewers.It ...

Rating: - Good Idea but quality not great
The locking mechanism for the clamps is really filmsy.I broke my first one trying to unstuck the clamps and my replacement was broken by a mechanic because he didn't realize there was a release button hidden in the back of the mount.
While the clamps seem to secure the phone/player in the cradle, the overall mounting is not very firm. The whole unit tends to sag if the unit has to be turned sideway so that the flexi goose neck would not obstruct the access to a certain car or radio button. ... Read More
Rating: - So-so
Didn't exactly break, but doesn't hold up that well either.
There is a rubber ring around the part that gets inserted into the slot; I think it's supposed to stabilize the charger and stop it from moving. It was ripped by week two. The charger gets a lot clunkier after this rips.
I don't think that this is going to hold up well in the long term.
