I do both all the time and can even leave my iSkin Solo case on.

Yeah, true, and I've done that a few times, and have two different windshield mounts as well; but would prefer to, oh, you know, snap it in securely to an existing mechanism that's just waiting for an upgraded piece of plastic to hold the phone.
