Does the top spring loaded piece have any foam under it? Where it would make contact with the phone. Also, interested in the ped, looks pretty secure, pending the price.

I'm not sure if you're speaking of the eBay one that I linked ... but that iPhone 4 Tripod case does have foam in a few places to cushion the phone in the case. It's very secure.
 
How long does the shipping usually take?

For shipping to the US: Mine took about eight days from Hong Kong to the Pacific Northwest; nearly everything else I've ordered from that region has taken eight to ten days recently. The longest was a shipment from Hong Kong that arrived today at 11 days--most of that time was getting from San Francisco to here, for some reason.

The further the final destination is from the Pacific Coast, the more that time may vary, of course. I believe most sites say 14-21 days for international shipment.
 
Pulled the trigger and order one of the tripod/mount from China. Came in about 9 days and I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this thing! The holder really holds the phone firmly, and the tripod is pretty sturdy and height adjustable, so needless to say that it is absolutely worth the $5!!! If anyone is leery of getting one, do it, IMHO, it's worth it. :)

Just received mine for $4.99 w/ship & not a penny more! It also took 10 days from Hong Kong.
Thanks for the heads-up this was a GR8 find.

Another tripod mount

Found this one too:

http://snapmountforiphone.com/

Looks cool, definitely different than the current ones out there. Alot more secure than most so your phone won't fall out/off the tripod. Works as a stand and lets you attach things to it like mic connections from kvconnection.com. Seems like all the mounts out there block everything like volume buttons and headphone jack and charger and this one doesnt at all. $20 aint too bad for this!

That is a great solution to the problem.
