Any recommendations on iPod cradles?

I've been looking around for different iPod cradles that I might be able to put in place of the lousy cupholder that attaches to the passenger down pipe. Does anyone have a good recommendation?

I saw the Kuda mounts, and I like the look of them, but they seem kind of pricey.

Try proclipusa.com -- http://www.proclipusa.com. I just got the combo from my kids for Christmas. I already have the one for my cell phone and I love it.

If you have a Nano - then use this one from XtremeMac. It's like it's made for the Mini - absolutely perfect.

Unfortunately it's a 4th gen 20 gig iPod. I'll give proclips a look. That's much more in line with what I wanted to spend.

I have a nano on order and I'm really tempted to get it. But I'm not sure it'll fit with the clear film applied: http://www.theinvisibleshield.com/in...ROD&ProdID=161

Actually, I have The Invisible Shield installed as well, and it fits just fine!

Cool So there's no fitment issues. Did you get the film with the wheel cut out or the full body one?

To me, the only answer is Panavise. Do a search here and you'll find pics. I just installed my IceLink Plus this weekend and mounted the cradle to the Panavise mount. Very clean looking install...it isn't a stick on piece, rather it mounts to two of the radio mounting bolts, you just have to move the right downtube out of the way to get to them. Takes about 5 minutes to install and it's truly a nice piece. Cost was $32 shipped to my door. Again, I'll try to post pics, but I searched far and wide for the right mount and this worked out PERFECTLY!!
