ProClip has released their device holders for the Bionic -

Dual Select Listing - ProClip Car Mounts for Mobile Phones, GPS, and Handheld Devices

I've used their holders since I had a Treo 650, and have always been pleased with them. No frills, but they do keep your device viewable and secure.

I'm a little concerned with this offering, however - it doesn't look like any of them will work with my cases unless I get the Adjustable holder - which looks like it might block the USB port.

If you're new to ProClip, their mount includes 2 pieces - the vehicle mount, and the device holder. The nice thing is that you can swap device holders fairly easily.
 
Actually, the device holder looks like it might work with my Incipio Feather case. I'm going to get it anyway - I'll let you all know.
 
I have used a ProClip vehicle mount for my last 3 phones. I used an adjustable holder mounted to it for my Droid and X. Now I have the Moto car mount for my Bionic/extended battery (bought a double T-slot to ball adapter) and it really worked out well since I don't use a case (I use a belt holster). The Bracketron adjustable holder I used with my X had adjustable sliding side grips that can be adjusted to keep the ports accessable. Unfortunately the quality wasn't that great. Eventually the plastic release mechanism/gears wore out after a few months but they aren't too expensive (~$25).
 
I just received my device holder with the cigarette lighter adapter. I haven't mounted it in my truck yet, but I can tell you that it isn't going to work without removing a case - pretty much any case. The Bionic slides in with the top and bottom of the phone fitting into precise grooves to hold it. It will however work with the extended battery.

Other than not working with my case, it looks pretty nice - they've integrated in the microUSB for power. I would have liked to see a headphone jack, using the USB audio out like the Moto Accessory cable, but still, pretty nice.

When I've installed it, I'll take some pics and post them.
 
I have the iGrip universal mount that we sell on this site. Works like a boss for half the price.
I'll post a pic up of it later tonight when I get home from work.
