As a practical matter, it would be pretty hard even for a passenger to use the keyboard when the phone was mounted in a car. The touch keyboard offers bigger keys, requires less pressure, and is much easier to see.
I have used a universal one for quite a while that would expand wide enough to grip the sides & had a couple of support tabs underneath & it worked well. The tab to tighten the suction recently broke though, so I've been looking for a replacement. I don't usually type a lot, but I do hit key combinations sometimes.

On another note of info for anyone looking at the one pictured in post #254 I had one like that and the suction cup was terrible & didn't even work, but the holder itself was great & fit on my universal mount, but it broke recently on a trip
