I decided to get a 2G Touch, and was looking around for car clips. I understand it's a new device and I'll have to wait for companies to update their offerings, etc. What I am looking for are good companies/web sites that offer car clips for a decent price to keep an eye on. That is, not $80+ like ProClipsUSA.

Yes, I see they're good products and why they charge a premium. I'm not here to argue that or "you spent XXX on an ipod and so blah blah", so please don't respond in that manner.

I Love my proclip, but certainly understand your reluctance to purchase one. I stared at my order page for almost 10 minutes before I confirmed my order! I've been very happy. The good news is that I will be able to take the cradle with me and only have to be a new mount if I change cars, I almost bought a clip for my wifes car with an upgrade to the easy mobility to move the cradle between cars, but no mount for her car. but I digress. To your specific question

Try our accessories page: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/accessories/ and scroll down to car mounts and see if anything there fancies you. It will have some suggested reviews, etc. It would probably be one of the first places to start to look for a proclip alternative. I look long and hard and eventually had to bite the bullet. Maybe something else will work for you, though. unfortunately a lot of the FM transmitter things are mixed in there. Some of them are really decent mounts, but the FM transmitter means increased price.

Rivit international has some interesting offerings for clip systems, but it involves 3M tape...

Good luck.
