I received the mount today. It works PERFECTLY now. Whereas before I had trouble fitting my EVO (with and without my Innocase), it now fits perfectly and holds it very securely. Apparently they've redesigned the foam padding inside, before it was actual foam, now it seems like a more compressable soft plastic. the picture below doesn't show it very well.
all i can say is this is THE BEST phone mount for our EVO now. Since it's made for the smaller iphone and fits our larger EVO, it'll definitely fit any other phone in between (not sure about ones with keyboards though).
i'm using it with the vent mount since it's illegal to mount on the windshield in California. The bendable neck of the mount is VERY tough and will hold its position. The suction seems of quality also.
The vent mount clips looks like they were changed too and now clip to the vent much sturdier than i remembered a few months ago when i got this mount (which i then returned).
My only concern is that the gripping claws are pretty strong and will require two hands to put the phone in, but that's also a good thing since that phone won't be going anywhere once it's gripped.
I am on the verge of pulling the trigger. However I have a cheaper windshield mount with the long arm that bounces all over the place. How steady does this hold?
These have been unavailable on Amazon for a few days now, do they still make them? It looks like they have an updated version now.

Mountek MT5000 mounts HTC EVO 4G in car's CD player slot
thanks for the reccomendation..best mount! works great, very secure, still have a tape deck to out put to and my cig charger also close by, so all works well!
now tune-in radio or Pandora all the way to work and back...!
Had mine for a couple of weeks and love it also. Actually made the recommendation before I had it myself. Surpassed all my expectations.
i only had one issue...
I dont play Discs in my car anymore (ipod/evo). so even if it jams it up i (sort of) dont care. but others may not like that.
otherwise holds my evo in its Seidio case or without or my ipod or my gps without issue. even did a hands free google search for an autoparts store, got the number and phoned without risking my life...
I bought the Mountek holder from eBay for $19 and it is by far the best EVO mount you will find in the market. Pretty nifty idea of using your CD slot to anchor the mount. I have a Hyundai Sonata and the only things that are covered up are the clock and the hazard button in the dash.
