Compatible iPod Holder for 5G 60GB Showcase Case

[switz002]

Hi,
I have been browsing around trying to find where someone has tried a Showcase case with a car mount solution. Does anyone know of a mount in particular that works with the new showcase case, or with the older ones as I realize the new ones just came out last week.

I am looking at ordering the ipod mount from gbxdirect.com as I have seen in several pictures here.

Any information would be appreciated. The showcase seems like a popular case so I am sure someone has tried a mount with it?

Try the Pro.Fit miGrip available at Crutchfield (I can't post URLs yet). I just received mine from Crutchfield yesterday and will install it this weekend. Be sure to pick up a vehicle specific mount for it, look around on Crutchfield for one for your car too. It expands wide enough to fit my 5G 30GB with a case on it. Let me know if you're interested and I can give you a referral code for you to get 20bucks off too.

I have a $20 referral code for Crutchfield if someone else needs one.

I emailed Pro.Fit last week to ask them about which mounts would work with the Contour Showcase. The rep told me that it wouldn't fit into the miCradle, but suggested the miGrip.

Their reply doesn't really provide any other info, but I pasted it below anyway.

I'm actually about to place my order for a Pro.Fit mount. I'm actually not really liking the Showcase as much as I did originally, so I think I'm going to order both the miCradle and the miGrip. With the Showcase, I seem to have trouble with dirt getting into the corners of it, underneath the clear plastic...so it's visible. Also, I took my iPhone out of the Showcase the other day, only to find scratches on a part of the phone that is 100% covered by the Showcase. I'm completely positive that they weren't there before I put the phone in the case, and I'm positive that the case is on the phone correctly.

I can't find any comments or reviews about the miCradle, so maybe I can find an iPhone case that will fit in it. If I can't, I'll just return the miCradle as soon as I get it and keep the miGrip.

I'll post how the mounts work out for me.
