If you want, I can show you how mine is mounted. Ill have to go take a picture though. I have a japanese squeezy clip thing + double stick tape bracket that mounts directly in front of the right hand AC vent. The cord is out of the way of everything and all controls to the iphone are within fingertip. It works particularly well when I'm using the GPS on the iphone. I've had it there for pretty much a year or two and even though its only 3M tape, it hasnt budged at all. I was planning on making a aluminum bracket once this fell off but its never fallen off yet
-ah the best part was that the clip itself was 10 bucks and I had some 3M tape lying around. The bracket comes with the clip along with a foam double sided tape (which I didnt use).

im using the modifry dash bracket with a custom phone holder, i like where its at because i use my phone for navigation/music as well and its at a good location where you dont have to look off from the road. when i have the usb cable plugged in, it is pretty close to first gear when you shift but it does not bother me

i have the modifry dash bracket along with proclip iphone 4/4s holder. it is the only solution i would even consider. its a little expensive but well worth it. i use navigon and i could not be happier with the placement. it does not get in the way of anything and is right in my face.
Also, I use Waze instead of Navigon. Works for what I want (great real time, crowd sourced traffic), I seem to always be ~10 minutes behind at least 4 other "Wazers".
The only down side to not having the swivel, is I cannot adjust it if it catches the sunlight. It isn't a big deal, unless the top is down.

Some mention that the USB cable get into the way of shifting into first. where is your usb wire going from the phone?
on my pioneer stereo, the usb port is on the right side, i connect my wire and bring it behind and under my proclip to connect to my phone. ive never had an issue with the cord getting in the way. ill try to post a pic of my setup soon

i have both currently. the modifry is for my phone and the panavise is for my ipod. (why not get iphone you say? i love android too much)
i like the modifry because it puts the phone in good view for using gps,and is out the way.
the panavise gets in the way of opening radio door but i control my stereo with the ipod so there is no need to open the door at all.
