iOttie HLCRIO102 One Touch Windshield Dashboard Universal Car Mount Holder for iPhone 4S/5/5S/5C, Galaxy S4/S3/S2, HTC One - Frustration Free Packaging - Black

This is a versatile phone/device holder due to the adjustable grip size and easy to adjust pivots. To release and snap in is super easy, even with one hand. The suction cups sticks steadfastly to smooth surfaces to the point where it is hard to remove purposely (this is a good thing). I do have 2 complaints about it, although one is more of a nitpick.First, the nitpick is that the mount makes creaking noises even over moderate bumps It's not loud and if you have music on you won't hear it but I thought I would point it out. I'm sure this is probably a common phenomenon on many mounts that extend any distance due to the physics involved with a relatively heavy object on the end of a lever.Second, this does not reliably stick to anything but smooth surfaces even though it is marketed to stick to "most smooth and textured surfaces". It ain't happening on any textured surface that I've found (I tried surfaces on all four of my cars). Sticking to textured surfaces was the biggest selling point for me so it was a bit of a disappointment. Hence the 3 stars (should be more like 3.5).However, given the price I paid and how well it works outside of these things, I can't say I'm unhappy with the purchase as long as it holds up for a few years.

I would love to write a nice review for this product, as it appears to be well made. The problem I have is that even though the box says "sticks to any surface" there is not a disclaimer that "any" does not include BMW dash boards. I called iOttie customer service and spoke to a very friendly young lady who I told that I was having trouble getting the mount to adhere to my BMW dash said "we are aware of the problem with BMW dash boards." She suggested using a sticky disk. I suggested that she mail me one and gave her my email address so that she could email me for my contact information. The call was over a week ago and I have not received a response from her.

Really impressed with the iOttie. It holds the phone firmly in place - even a bulkier phone. My iPhone is wrapped with a Mophie extended battery pack and it still holds the phone just fine even while its in the case. The range of adjustments on the arm and plate are impressive. It feels well made, sticks very securely, and does exactly what is needed of it. Great product and outstanding value

I really like the way the spring loaded arms snap in by themselves when the phone is in place. I have had this a week and spent 35 hours driving with it and am very satisfied. I have an iPhone 4s and the bottom arms allow the phone to be plugged in. I also got a NAVGEAR Universal Dash Mount and attached this product to the dash mount so I can easily move it where I want it and switch between vehicles.

Convenient and sturdy; does not fall off once attached, even when the car is parked facing sun. Hardly anything that I would improve. Maybe get rid of the screw holding the bottom bracket where the charging connector is: the screw seems to be not necessary and becomes loose during driving.

I really wanted to like this mount, but alas, it does not seem to be a good fit for my car. I drive a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire, and while it may not have the best shock absorption, the iOttie rattles and shakes so much (especially while driving on the interstate over 60mph), it is hard to read the GPS. Additionally, the ball that serves to rotate the dock left and right is incredibly flimsy; when the stand rattles as I'm driving, the iPhone will rotate in odd directions, making it more difficult to see my GPS. I acknowledge that I may have received a "dud" or this could be a consequence of using it with an older vehicle. That said, I did NOT experience these issues with my previous mount (not an iOttie), so was very disappointed with the "upgrade".On the plus side, the adhesive pad seems to be very sticky and stable.If I can, I will return and find another mount.

I bought this mount because even though I would prefer a phone mount that is inserted into your cd slot, I have a backup camera screen that I would be unable to use. I bought this mount as it was very highly reviewed. When I first bought it, I was extremely happy with the product. It was very secure and never wobbled. I had no problem trusting my new phone with the mount. However, after the weather turned cold, the mount lost suction and jumped off of my dashboard. Fortunately, my phone wasn't damaged. Even though I have tried to reattach it a few times, it keeps falling off. Because of the potential of damage to my phone, I am going to stop trying to reattach the mount. It lasted less than 2.5 months as I bought it at the end of August. I am not sure what to do with it now. Hopefully others have better luck.

Despite others' experiences--for me, absolutely would not stick to dashboard (Toyota Corolla). Sticks great to windshield, but that's not where I want it. Sadly returning. Pluses: Easy to assemble and adjust in many directions; fits iPhone 5 in its TPU case and with charger.
