I've tried lots. There is a travel vent clip from The Clip company that can take any of the "button" cases and can be used in many vehicles. I used it with an iHolster from iProductsonline.com with some success, but on my car the vent kept tipping down from the weight of the Axim and the screen was hard to see in the day. I also tried a cup holder mount from Arkon, but it was too low to see comfortably. So next I went with a vent clip from Arkon, but used the PDA holder that I had gotten earlier from Arkon. The new side gripper has big "ears" on the sides that grip the PPC, and to my eye it looks like they would press on the side buttons on the Axim. The one I have holds the Ax from the top and bottom, and is adjustable so that I can get the CF slot and bottom connectors both free but hold the unit at the same time. I don't know if Arkon makes that older type anymore. I think it was a CM223 I ordered orignally, and then just the vent mount clip by itself. According to the website, the CM223 is being phased out. It's very solid, and the little foot brace on the vent bracket keeps the vent from turning down.

PS. I still use the iHolster/vent clip combination when I travel. It let's me set up the Axim as a GPS in any rental car I get when on the road. Slick!
