Sorry guys, been busy. Yes, it does expand/contract wider/narrower, and can hold phones thicker than an iPhone 4. It can flip from portrait to landscape as well.

It also firmly holds whatever position you set up. I was afraid I would have to adjust the cradle every time, but luckily I can just slide my phone in and out from the top without affecting the position.

You put it in the cup holder and then turn a knob to expand the base and make it tight. There is a slight amount of play, so with that, and the slightly pliable gooseneck, you can man-handle it into position and it'll stay there.

My buddy thought it was some OEM option, so I guess it doesn't look stupid. The only drag was when we both got drinks and I realized I needed to remove it for him (unlike my wife's minivan which has like 27 cup holders). So if you have passengers who frequently have drinks, I'd skip this route.

Last note - without the phone in it, there is a very slight rattle.

Otherwise, for 13 bucks, there's certainly nothing to lose.
