Sturdy, compact, versatile
Also, seemingly the only way to charge the Pre+ in this holder is: First, thread the charging wire through the hole in the right side clamp, then plug it into the phone, finally insert the phone and connector into the holder taking care not to damage the little connector door. Oh yeah, please pull over before you attempt this stunt..But wait! (see below).
And now, the Third Way: Use a TouchStone. If you flip the iGrip phone holder over by moving the little support feet to the other end (i.e. install it upside down), it will hold a TouchStone quite securely. Clamp the TouchStone so the Palm logo reads inverted (wire coming off the bottom).
Now just stick the phone to the TouchStone. It charges fine, stays put on bumpy roads, and doesnt fall off even if when I turn off the ignition or unplug the charger for some reason.
The Palm Car Charger runs the TouchStone just fine.
We all know the Pre+ does not have great battery life in a car, especially if you use Nav services & BlueTooth headset but goofy as it sounds, this trick works.

Pros: Simple, clean, nearly bulletproof.
Cons: Interference with charging and volume controls.

Useless!
But even if I didnt need to use it with a charger, this mount is completely useless because it wont stick to the dash! Neither the suction cup nor the "self-adhesive power-disc" adhered to the dash of my Toyota Prius. Maybe I applied the disc incorrectly? Its impossible to know--no directions were supplied with the product!
