    After using the Wilson Sleek for a few days, I can say that it is not a total waste of money. I was able to maintain a good signal in areas that I lost the signal without it. However what I don't like is, I have to remove my phone from the Otterbox case for it work properly. So that tells me the communication between the phone and cradle is weak.

    I also don't like the little, teeny-tiny magnetic antenna. I don't know if I can come up with one that will allow me to mount it to a mirror bracket.

    There coverage isn't always great either.

    There is a mount for that antenna that attaches to a window: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170746880713?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

    And this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wilson-Slim...696368?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item53ec2d9730

    And then the older set ups used these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wilson-Electronics-Dual-Band-Trucker-Mirror-Mount-Antenna-with-3-Way-Mount-/300738281405?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Antennas&hash=item460565ffbd

    But I haven't seen the sleek unit yet so I don't know which one will or will not work. I know the first one will but not sure if that'd help or not.

    Nope, not an option. Have already checked into their packages, and they are far more expensive than the current Sprint package I have.
