I bought this to replace a universal model mounted to my air vent. It came with a slim manual (normal these days... at least it was included in print). Really liked that it had an extension piece for the arm and all the parts connected by nice strong ball joints that let me position the iPhone 3GS exactly where I want it and in portrait or landscape mode.
I used the suction cup mount to attach to the windshield with NO PROBLEMS what-so-ever. Didn't have to press hard when dialing down the suction cup and its never came off while driving. Its used in a Ford Escape. The problems others are having could be due to different curvatures in windshields possibly or maybe bad example shipped. Its also possible their windshields aren't clean which could also be an issue. It does come with a sticky padded disc mount should you prefer to mount to a dash instead too.
The cradle for the iPhone holds it nicely. It almost snaps in place and pops out to assure its secure position. Sure it doesn't allow a case to be used but could you imagine making the cradle adapt to so many different cases? Or it would have to rely on a universally adjustable arms to hold it like my previous mount. That's more messing around when putting in and pulliing it out of the cradle and I prefer the quick pop in and out method. It also frees up the top and bottom for power charger connection and headphone jack access. Actually, you can access all the controls easily.
What would make this better? Maybe add a sync connector that employs power and audio out signals that can be hard wired through back of dash. Add a nice slim hardshelled case that comes with adapter that works with case for arm sold seperately (More money Griffin! Wake up your marketing team!). Overall I highly recommend. Great product at a good price.

Out of the box, it works really well. Don't over-tighten it, and you're good. But if you add the optional extension, which is absurdly difficult to install because the joint of the extra extension is really REALLY tight and difficult to pop into place, your chosen iphone/ipod device might cause the arm to wobble on relatively minor divots in roads more than you might like. The solution is to arrange the device in a way that one side rests on a part of the dashboard.

Item attaches to windshield quickly and easily, seems to be quite stable however I just paid for and had installed a Zagg Invisible Shield for the front and back of my iPhone and the way that the Window Seat attaches to the iphone is such that it wrinkles the Invisible Shield to the point that it can not be smoothed out. I ended up removing the back cover and replacing it with an Incipio Feather case. I purchased a different brand of mount with a universal holder. Now the Griffin just sits in a drawer.

The was a sweet holder. I picked one up at Wal-Mart and I was surprised at how well it worked. It come with a plastic disk that I stuck on to the inside of my slide-out cup-holder in my truck - it worked perfectly. Unfortunately someone broke into my truck and stole it (and my sub-woofers). I never used my sub-woofers. I was more upset about my iPhone mount being stolen! I couldn't find another one at Wal-Mart. Thank goodness for Amazon! :)

The best feature is that the suction cup is one of the best I've seen. This is because the amount of vacuum you create is dependent on how much you twist the base.
On the other hand, the angle you can tilt is very minimum. It does come with additional "arm" piece so you can increase the total tilt angle, it also makes it a couple inches taller/longer off the base so it sticks out too much. I would like to see Griffin come out with a gooseneck using the same suction base so it'll give me more flexible bending option.
Finally, the holder is very tight. It does keep iPhone from easily coming loose, but if you have a protector film like InvisibleShield (like I do), then you won't be able to put your iPhone on. I ended up mounting on my desk at home (it's a real office furniture with cherry wood with glassy polish) and I rest my iPhone 3GS on it. Disappointed that I could not use it in my car...oh well. Griffin products have good concept, but their execution falls little short. I bought their holster for my original iPhone, but the clip that is attached to the holder easily broke off. It was one of the best holster style I've seen...too bad they didn't make sure it stood the test of time.
The kit comes with additional holders for original iPhone and 2nd generation iPod Touch. It also comes with a disc so you can affix it to your dash to allow you to mount the unit other than glass surface.
