Recommendations for a Car MP3/Phone Mount Holder

I recently bought this car device mount so I could mount my mp3 player in my car and wow, the thing that came in the mail looks nothing as pictured and functions absolutely horribly. After four days of use, the thing can't even stay attached to the windshield, and when it is attached lets out a wonderful clickty-clack noise as it vibrates that is extremely annoying.
Thankfully, it was dirt cheap so I don't feel too put out but I'm quite leery about buying another car mount sight unseen. Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid car windshield or dash mount for mp3 players/phone (hell, even a vent mount wouldn't be so bad if it works)? First hand experience with the product you'd suggest would be greatly appreciated.
In case you were curious about my vehicle layout, I drive a '07 Chevy Malibu. The contour of the dashboard means I pretty much have to mount anything on the windshield, or buy a vent-mounted device.

it's similar to this (i can't seem to find my exact one):

zune 80gig. pretty small footprint, about an iphone 3/4's I think.
If you do, I've found THIS mount to be fantastic. I've had it for going on 1.5 years and it has been great so far.
I would like to avoid that option if possible. My previous (and now current) arrangement was just sticking the device on top of a cup holder, and hoping it didn't bounce out of it and go flying when hitting bumps. And when I have passengers in the car, I need the cup holders free so then it has to get moved somewhere or stuck in the armrest cavity and its just a mess.
Thank you for the suggestion though.
