Pro.Fit miCRADLE iPhone® holder
Pro.Fit UltiMount V2 Universal-fit mount for electronic devices (Model UL-242BG)

With a lot of research behind me, I decided to purchase the 3G miCradle and the UltiMount V2 Universal-fit mount for my new 3G iPhone. I travel a lot and have cut back on flying preferring rather to drive as much as I can so I wanted something that is as close to OEM and professional looking as possible in my Chrysler 300.

I was impressed with the overall look and feel when I first opened the box and really impressed with the fit, materials chosen, and quality after examining the products. The 3G iPhone fits snugly but slides smoothly into the miCradle. The UltiMount was chosen after checking the dimensions to position the iPhone just to the right of my right hand resting at about 2 o’clock on the steering wheel. The mount positions the iPhone between the instrument panel bezel and the center/left air conditioning outlet on the dash. Note: this position most likely would not work with a car that has a steering column mounted shifter but is great with my Chrysler 300 center console mounted shifter.

The circular rubber adhesive mount fit very nicely on the inside of the instrument panel bezel and is very unobtrusive. The UltiMount even has a ball joint that allows you to rotate the 3G iPhone just in case you need to watch a YouTube video as you drive down the highway…just kidding about driving while watching the video, but you get the idea. The miCradle even came with a rubber trim piece with an unobtrusive Pro Fit logo to cover the mounting screws used to attach the miCradle to the UltiMount. The UltiMount mounting plate also has recessed openings for the nuts so that all you need to attach the screws is a screw driver. Pro Fit thought of everything with this simple yet well engineered mounting system.

Pro Fit makes a wide variety of mounts for the miCradle including vehicle specific mounts but I wanted the option of moving this to another vehicle. You can do the research at [...].

I have purchased several different car mounts and wish that I had found Pro Fit before and save my money. This UltiMount and miCradle was less than $50 and worth every penny. I have low expectation of mass produced plastic devices, but Pro Fit had quality in mind when they chose the materials for this application. Every once in a while we come across a company that just gets it and Pro Fit is one of those companies. Good job Pro Fit.
