In case anyone's been thinking of doing the same, the Brodit mount can be filed down to allow room for an Invisible Shield (the full body one). I'd not recommend it though. The plastic is extremely tough and it took forever even using a Dremel tool, and it was impossible to get smooth... but it works.
I picked up this cheap one too:

The grip works great but there are a few problems. It's portrait mode only (doesn't rotate), and the vent clip is a little too wide to fit between my car's vent louvres. Also it can push the power button inadvertently. Still it's much less intrusive than the Brodit, and with Sygic supposedly working in portrait mode, it could be a workable option w/Invisible Shield.

Just got my brodit active swivel mount thingy. 4 minutes to fit. Seems to do the job well, even bouncing over the pothole ridden roads around Ilkley Moor.
Now if I can only get my finger to stop bouncing up and down while I try to press the screen, perhaps some kind of arm securing device located on the holder.
I also have a novere case, which whilst making the device a little bit bulkier is actually really nice.

I got me the 'AIO PREMIUM CAR HOLDER & CHARGER FOR NOKIA N900 UK' and its pretty good. Ordered it from ebay and arrived in a week in Spain. The quality is good and the phone fits well. Maybe the charger cable is a bit short but that was ok for me. The headphone socket is free as you can see in the pics.
I forgot to make a pic for portrait mode but that works great too. Let me know if more pics are needed.

My Brodit active mount arrived yesterday - very well made. Shame it covers the power and camera buttons (but that can be fixed.... :O)
Also it needs a slight riggle to get the usb plug in - but I'm sure all N900s have a slight tolerance to how high those (dodgy) sockets from the mobo and frame.

It certainly holds the N900 snug and well and secures to the windscreen well enough but there is a slight design flaw with this holder and it should not be marketed as suitable for the N900.
When you secure the N900 into the casing it is so snug that there is no clearance for the buttons on the top of the N900. When I place mine in it just continually holds down the volume keys on the top. Also, sometimes it is so snug and can easily hit the power button.
I have to half slide the N900 out of this to ensure the buttons are not being depressed.
For those who have purchased this I would really like to know if it does the same on your N900. I have been even trying to glue a small piece onto the holder underside to prevent the buttons being keyed.
Thoughts please....
