because I am cheap I debated just making do with propping my ipod up in the cup holder but decided to splurge on this instead.. definitely worth the $26 bucks. you can turn it on its side, great suction on the windshield, and its totally adjustable. Fits my ipod touch great, but would be awesome for any phone/gps etc. and you don't have to put it in the center of your windshield either. I actually put mine out of the way, to the left of the steering wheel. so yes.. very awesome and totally worth it. a very well thought out product!
