    I use mine as a cell phone holder. I have to admit I was disappointed when the stamped international symbol for "no wine glasses" wore off.

    Mine stores a collection of iGo ends for my various devices, gate opener, and usually a dog biscuit or two for Friday bring your dog to work day. Can't say it's ever held a cup though:lol:
    I had the MINIFINI one, and took it off - got in the way. Now the downpost it was on rattles, drives me bonkers.

    well I was able to get the pics today of the mount I made from the old broken cup holder

    as of now it looks like I have found what I need to make this a more universal mount for most phones mp3 players and gps devices

    so as soon as I get another mount I should be set for my phone also
