When you hear a name, certain feelings, emotions and senses come into your mind. For example, I am certain when you hear or read the name Scott McCarthy, you probably think of the great planner, car enthusiast and greatest BlackBerry blogger that ever existed!

Car mounts - there are so many brands and styles to choose from! Window mount, dash mount, vent mount; even CD slot mounts!

I struggled, however, finding a car mount that worked well and fit my needs. I'm a BlackBerry Passport user, and we all know it's a rather large device. Most of the mounts that are available on the market for larger devices are large themselves as well as being bulky and heavy.
