Not built for the iPhone 4-By Benjamin David
very simply, this mount has rounded clips made specifically for the earlier iPhone models, not for the square edges of the 4.
if you don't believe me just check out the video for this product and you'll see, it's not the iPhone 4 in the demonstration.
that said does this mount work with the iPhone 4? yes, but not without complications. if you put your 4 in this mount without a case, it will eventually slide out through the bottom with each bump you hit in the road. if you have a hard plastic outer case, it will do the same, just a little more slowly. a soft plastic outer case will not slide, but will be pushed around a little every time you take it in and out of the mount.
i've been using this mount with my iPhone 4 for several months now, with an Incipio Silicrylic case (the best iphone 4 case available) and my homegrown solution was to apply electrical tape along the interior sides of the hard plastic clips to provide adequate friction between the case and mount. it works, and the reason this mount gets 3 stars is because it is relatively easy to seat the iPhone and especially remove it, with just one hand; which is critically important for me while in my car.
this is the second review i've written for this mount, debunking the myth that it works great with the iPhone 4. my previous review mysteriously disappeared.

Kensington K39256US car mount is greatBy Sidewinder
Just received the mount and its higher quality than what I expected. Definitely not your cheap dealxtreme/meritline build. Iphone 4 fits secure into the friction mount and rotates from portrait to landscape with secure clicks. Mount can be oriented any direction by ball and socket joint which can be loosened/tightened by the turning the wheel.
I prefer the vent mount as a windshield mount will leave behind a telltale circle when taken off inviting break ins. Vent mount is nicely thought out with spring mounted vent hooks so you don't sit there trying to force the thing when taking it off the vent risking damage to the vent/hooks.
Windshield arm is about 10" long and made of rigid plastic material which can be shaped to any angle. I tested it by mounting on a sliding glass door and suction is rock solid and I could not budge it without trying to tear it off by force. One possible issue is there maybe some play on bumpy roads since the arm is quite long. I got this on sale with a rebate and ended up paying fraction of what it normally sells for anywhere else but product is thoughtfully designed and will do what it does without any headaches.

Quality vent mount, though clip is stiffBy D. Cheng
I bought this to be used as a vent mount for my iPhone 4. This device is made of good quality plastic and the vent mount works very well. The vent clips have springs in them so they lock in pretty well. The iPhone 4 fits easily (it's just a clip, I think it can fit many similar sized devices). Once in, you can rotate the iPhone 4 horizontally or vertically.
However, I found that the iPhone clips are pretty stiff. In the video, it seems effortless to clip in the iPhone with one hand. But when I try to push the phone in, I need to use a lot of force, and usually I'm afraid I'll break the vents or the mount. So generally, I use two hands, one hand to pull one of the clips back, and then the other to put the phone in and out. Because of this, I think I would've preferred a "cradle-like" design, so I could just easily/quickly drop in the phone and take it out. When I'm driving, it's dangerous to need two hands to put my phone on the mount or take it off for whatever reason.
