Help phone cover with vehicle mount

Well, I have a hardsnap-on case that I got from Verizon. I have to remove the back to fit the phone onto the desktop docking station, but I can leave it on on the car. I have a Verizon universal vent-mount holder. It's the type that squeezes closed. I turned the mount sideways, glued a magnet on it and it works great: charger fits fine, camera and speaker are uncovered, and it automatically goes onto car mode as soon as I place it in the holder.

Now, if they would fix it so that the phone displays in landscape when in car mode instead of only portrait...

Are there other mounts out there that anyone knows of that work great with the Droid? I know the Motorola mount has a magnet in it to keep the screen on. Do any others?

I modded one of those generic grabs the device by the sides/top bottom mounts with a magnet. Got it at Best Buy. Works just fine. Make sure you get one that you can adjust the arms up and down though. The one I had didn't do that so I had to cut a slot for the usb cable. I have the proper mount now though, I don't have the phone in a case or anything.
