Generic Smartphone Mount

Can anyone recommend a good GENERIC (i.e., adjustable size) smart phone mount for a MINI? I have a Galaxy Nexus, but it's enclosed in an Otterbox case (to protect it from my infant daughter's shenanigans, mostly). So, it's not likely to fit in a custom mount made specifically for the phone, like Pro Clip, etc.

However, I'd like to have a good way to mount the phone so I can use it for navigation, etc. Ideally, the mount would also allow me to plug my micro USB cable into the bottom of the phone for charging purposes (no blocking of the bottom edge of the phone).

Any ideas??

Check out proclip usa, they sell both device mounts and generic holders so I expect they have something that can hold the otterbox

I have a cheapo solution in my gallery, but the mount I use (iOttie) probably won't hold an Otterboxed GN. I'm sure a Proclip mount can work as the other gents have mentioned, and they make generic holders. It's also a lot cleaner looking.
