Amazon Verified Purchase
I originally wanted a product that was not iPod related...as I don't happen to own one!
However, I DO own a Creative Zen MX player.
However, (again), there seemed to be no in-car mount for this type of player, (I've even queried this with Creative and they've confirmed this).
In the end, I decided to look at ALL these types of products, regardless of which player it was designed for.
After carefully studying the photos on the advert, I worked out that this product MIGHT just be suitable for my Zen.
Hallelujah! It WAS!
Not only that, but this holder gives you the opportunity to view your player from multiple viewing angles as, apart from up and down, it also rotates, which is really neat.
I should imagine that one can pretty much view most screens that the two 'spring-loaded clamps' (with 4 rubber protective pads/grommets) will hold, and it certainly fits perfectly well in my car's air-vent slots as it was designed to do.
As a bonus, it has a place at the back of the clamps to wrap around your headphones to store them more conveniently when not using, (though I've yet to use this feature).
Also, (and a another feature I REALLY like) is that it also comes with a small stand which can be permanently mounted to a flat surface with the attached adhesive base.
Again, I haven't bothered to use this sticky pad as I don't want it to be a permanent fixture,(in-case I sell the car in future), as I found that the stand (with the clamps and mp3 player attached) will easily stand upright without using the sticky base at all (but not in a moving vehicle, obviously!).
However,I imagine this will depend on the size and weight of your particular player, though it was certainly robust enough to handle the Zen MX!
This now enables me to watch my films or listen to music on a table top in the house, (for example), and therefore leaving me 'hands-free', as with a lot of mp3 players these days, you normally seem to need a lot-more-expensive 'dock' to do this.
If I had one gripe, then it's about the rubber pads on the arms (which clamp to the player and help to protect it against scratches).
These are all too easily removed accidentally when detaching the player. I've had this holder now for just over a month, and today, one of these rubber grommets has fallen off and is now lost.
Not the end of the world, but still slightly irritating.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this product, not just for iPod owners, but for anyone that wants to use their mp3/4 players in the car without too much fuss or expense, (but try and find out if your device will fit in the holder first before you buy)!

This item was received within the delivery time promised, well-packaged and as described.
However, having had it for a couple of weeks and trying various ways of positioning it, I realise the holder isn't quite suitable to sit on my car's dashboard / centre console for me to use an iPod Classic from the driver's seat, playing through the car's stereo system.
If I stuck the base unit to the only accessible flat surface near the driver's side, it would be on the lid of an essential compartment which needs to be opened. The holder would therefore prevent this and also get in the way of accessing the cigar lighter for plugging in chargers, accessories, etc. The self-adhesive 'base' unit is therefore not usable in my current car, a Renault Megane Scenic (2003).
Using the air vent clips at the back of the holder, it does fit into the centre air vent fine, and the grip mechanism is actually very good to hold an iPod securely. The only criticism is that the weight of an iPod Classic is a bit too heavy for this unit to keep the iPod facing you. The iPod gradually droops down so it rests against the air vent and whatever is beneath it. Not a major problem, but when you're driving and want to select new tracks, you really need to reach across and move the iPod so you can see the screen and use the controls. That probably means waiting until you're stopped at traffic lights or in a queue... or even pulling over for a few moments while you select your next tracks. I guess that's what we should all be doing for safety reasons anyway!
If you have some kind of remote for your iPod / mp3 player, then you'll be fine.
So --- the holder itself is very good, but think carefully about where you would place it and whether it would actually be usable in your vehicle.

i have the classic 160gb ipod and the holder works perfectly. i have it attached to an air vent as it is easy to use and remove if necessary. great product for all phones or mp3 players especially ipods.

Rotating Holder
This item is listed to hold the ipod nano. It certainly cannot as the nano is so small, which was the sole purpose for buying it! Epic fail!
