I've seen the vent mountable options. Are they easy to install? Does the ventilation directly on the phone cause issues with battery life (heat/drastic temperature variations are not kind to batteries).

I'm using a vent mounted cradle currently. It's very easy to install, though it looks like it'll be a pain to remove (haven't tried to yet, but once it's mounted it's definitely secure). The only issue so far is that it does wobble a slight bit. There are little pieces you can slide to hold it more securely, but they come loose and it starts to wobble again...but only if you apply pressure. It doesn't rock while driving, so that's not an issue. As for the vent affecting the battery life, I haven't noticed anything the few times I have run a/c on the phone directly (outside of a cold case), but I tend to run through the windshield vent more often than not. If I know I'm going to be using the vents pointed at me, I take the phone out of the holder until I can switch back to the windshield vent.
