there is a plastic lip under the 30 pin connector on the 3g/s iphone mount that i filed down (maybe 1-1.5mm) and it works perfectly with my bumpered iphone. the holder actually grabs the bumper better than it did my 3g too.
re-buying isn't necessary for those with a proclip already.

I prefer ProClip because it is custom-designed for most car models to fit the dashboard very securely and in a convenient location for operation without having to look away from the road. Most of the generic mounts out there that I've seen either clip into vents (which blocks airflow and is not very sturdy) or suctions onto the windshield (which is rather far away from the seat in my car, and is illegal in some states) or just plugs into the cigarette lighter and has a stem which sticks up to hold the device (which ends up being either too low or too wobbly).
Thanks for saving me some money--got this one and it is great!

ProClip for iPhone 4 w/bumper
Two questions:
The ProClip 511178 seems to be the best choice for iP4 w/Apple bumper, which can swivel.
Does it keep the iP4 snug when in horizontal position for GPS use?
Is the dock connector area open and free for a charging cable to stay in use while driving?
thanks

This one does not allow for a case of any kind however.
Does anyone have actual experience with the 78 mount? It does say it can swivel 360 degrees, but whether it holds the iP4 w/bumper snug is another story.
Anyone with direct experience?

So where are all those pics that people were going to post of their mounted proclips???? I'd love to see them.
Fyi
I wrote to ProClip and received these two answers concerning the mount I mentioned above:

If I do replace my cheap vent vertical mount for my iPhone (bought for $11 at Best Buy), which I hope to soon, I'll be back to post pictures if anyone requests..

- The Bumper case holder are tight enough to allow your iPhone in a Horizontal position.
- Yes. Item 511178 has an opened base bottom so that any cable can be connected directly to the phone.
