iOttie Easy One Touch Classic Dash & Windshield Universal Car Mount Phone Holder Desk Stand for iPhone, Samsung, LG, Moto and other Smartphones

My three year clip-to-the-vent phone holder broke via plastic fatigue at the clips. I needed a replacement but didn't want another clip type that won't last. This one cost twice as much as the old one but holy cow - what a high-quality item! There are multiple height, angle, extension, and tilt adjustments and it seems built extremely well. It also holds and releases the phone with one touch. I was initially dismayed at how incredibly sticky the silicone suction cup is and thought it had an adhesive coating. It doesn't. I didn't want to stick it to the windshield to avoid blocking the view while driving and didn't want to permanently glue the little metal tray to my dashboard. I tried attaching via suction directly to the textured leatherette and amazingly it stayed put for the duration of our hot summer road trip. Then the moment of truth - would it leave residue upon removal? Nope. I could see where it had been but wiped with a damp paper towel and there's no evidence it was ever there. I am thrilled with this and highly recommend it.

This mount is one of the best mounts available today. Before I got the iOttie, I had a magnetic mount that was great. However, I upgraded to the newest iPhone and had to get rid of it since I couldn't have both wireless charging and the magnetic mount (the metal plate used for the magnet interferes with the wireless charging). I tried a few options and was ultimately unhappy with all of them. However, a friend recommended the iOttie so I picked it up when it was on sale during the holidays. After a week of using it daily, I am happy to say that it works great. It has a unique, patented mechanism where you push the phone against the mount and the spring loaded sides clamp down on it. It's really easy to use and is satisfying to do for some reason. When you need your phone, you just push down on two bars on the sides and it'll release your phone. Super smooth, and once you get the hang of it, you can do it all one-handed. The mount itself is really customizable too. You can rotate it at two joints, and it telescopes forward several inches as well. I actually think it's overkill, as I don't think many people will adjust it that much, but it's nice that it's there I guess. It's a little big and bulky to see, but it's no issue. The suction cup that sticks it to the wall is the sticky gel kind. Some other companies use this. It actually works great as long as your car is in the right conditions... unfortunately, heat is not this mount's friend. During the winter months, it'll be fine, but summers can cause this thing to lose its grip and fall off the window. Keep an eye on it when it's hot outside. I only know this because I've had 2 of these style suction cups before and they always fell off my window during hotter, 80+ degree days. Hasn't happened to me with the iOttie mount yet since I've only had it for a week during the winter, but judging from other reviews, many other people have had this issue. The best part about this mount is that it's so big that it supports a lot of phones. I think the only way your phone won't fit is if you have a massive iPhone XS Max with a massive Otterbox on it or something. I tested it out with an iPhone XS, and iPhone SE, and an iPhone 7 Plus and they all fit great (they all had relatively small cases though). I like that anyone can just use it. If my phone dies on the way home and I need someone else to put there's up to find my way home on their GPS, they can just pop it on with no issues. Overall - great mount. A little pricey compared to others, but it goes on sale a lot (I got mine for $18 on Amazon). Even at full price ($24 as of writing) I would say it's worth it.

I’ve been using this car mount for a while now, and it’s honestly one of those rare products that just works exactly like it’s supposed to. Setting it up was a total breeze—the suction is surprisingly strong and stayed secure on my dashboard without any fuss. My favorite part is the "one-touch" design; I can literally snap my phone in with one hand while getting settled, which is so much easier when I'm in a rush. It doesn't rattle or shake while I'm driving, so I never have to worry about my phone taking a dive mid-turn. The adjustable arm is also a lifesaver for getting the screen at just the right height so I can see my maps clearly without it blocking the road. It’s a solid, dependable little gadget that has genuinely made my daily commute feel a lot smoother and safer.

Have been using this for a week and so far so good. It was easy to install, and appears to be stuck well to my dash. It's great seeing my phone well during the drive and it holds the phone pretty steady. There is a little bit of a bounce when driving and hitting any bumps, which not a big deal. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and honestly would have done 4.5 if I could, is the phone cradle arm length. Too short! I upgraded to an Iphone 17 Pro Max, which is the same size as a 16 Pro Max, so thought this would be fine. Bought a case and it isn't even a bulky case, and it just doesn't fit well at all. I've ordered an even slimmer case to see if that will work but wish the arms had some way to adjust for the cases.

I normally have hated these phone mounts, particularly universal ones. They fall off. They don't hold the phone well. They look bad. I've gone with Rokform mounts for years, and even an Android Auto headunit just so I can use Google Maps to navigate without a phone mount like this. But my wife's car simply has nowhere good for a Rokform magnet, and the headunit is integral so I can't replace it. I needed a way to mount her Note 8 phone (it's a huge phone, fairly heavy and awkward in its wallet case) in her 2015 CRV. I found a few places mentioned iOttie on discussion forums, to the point where I suspected it was spam, but I went ahead and bought one. It's not spam. This is a terrific mount. In the CRV, there's a space on the dashboard next to one of the screens that works perfectly for this mount, but in almost any car, you could use the dashboard instead of the window. This is because iOttie ships a plastic disc with the mount (like old nicer GPS units used to include). It affixes with high quality automotive tape, the kind that generally doesn't leave a mark on the dashboard. Dashboard mount is superior to window mount because any tiny budge will not tear the unit away from suction over time. It's working with gravity, not against it. You can mount it to a window, and the suction cup is sticky and strong, but dash is the way to go if you can. The phone's case extends beyond the phone, but the mount had no problem at all holding the phone steady. You press the two long buttons while putting the phone in place, and let go, and it just grips it in place. Removing the phone is just as elegant. I really am pleased with it. I drove across the state for the recent holidays and used this mount, and it was excellent. I normally drive my car with a nice Android Auto headunit, but this was really just as good (and I recommend that Android Auto app for driving... it's safer and easy to use without touching the phone). The mount articulates in many ways, even out towards the driver, and it feels very well made. It's worth the inexpensive price easily.

After watching my daughter and son-in-law constantly try to juggle their phones, drive and follow GPS instructions at the same time, I decided to surprise them each with one! When they arrived I was happy with their construction and quality!!... They offered great flexibility when choosing where and how to mount them! As it turned out I placed them in the perfect spot in each vehicle, easily accessible while on the road and easy to see! You wont be disappointed!!...

First, you should know that I do a lot of traveling. My kid plays ice hockey, so we're always on the road, navigating to this or that rink, so my car mount phone holder is a big deal for us. And since my kid is always changing around the music on my phone, the taking in and taking out of the phone from the mount is also a big deal. So here are the plusses--pretty much everything that everyone says is good, really is good. I've found the suction to be great. No issues on my dashboard on my older Ford Flex. The adjustability and viewing angles--this is probably the best feature of this mount. Just so many many to view and adjust. I can spin it on the fly to go from horizontal navigation to vertical music viewing. I can set the tension. I can telescope it or not. Just very very nicely done here. Then why only three stars you ask? Sigh. When you push the two side buttons/bars to open the unit so you can put the phone in--well, that just plain sucks. It borders on defective. It started out slowly and now has gotten to the point where I literally have to open that thing very very slowly to get to it catch just right so that it will stay open. Otherwise, it just snaps shuts. The mechanism just won't hold the unit open so you can put your phone in. And it's annoying and really frustrating and that's why three stars. Fix that, it's a five star product for me. Once the phone is in, it holds it just fine, no issues there. But that constant snapping shut of the mechanism really ruins the overall feel of the product for me. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this. Maybe just my unit. But that's what I can tell you.

I got this for my mom and she loves it! It works great--I don't have to stress about her messing with a phone while driving anymore because it's right there, you hardly have to take your eyes off the road. Its grip is strong but still very easy to remove the phone and it's simple to set up if you read the instructions. I thought it might have problems suctioning to the curved dashboard surface, but it worked fine. Prevents her from dropping and losing it too, though sometimes I have to remind her that the phone is in the holder (like losing glasses on her head lol). Overall fantastic purchase, though I haven't tried other car phone holders, but this one is a safe bet in my opinion and she's had it for several months now with it working just like new. I was a little apprehensive of it being rickety or wobbly but it's solid, good-quality stuff. Edit: As soon as hot weather came around, the sticky part that adheres to the dashboard surface began melting and sliding off, rendering it completely unusable. Very annoying waste of money which created a sticky mess for several weeks! I bought a new one from the brand on here called "ANIOPE" which works much better as it mounts by securely screwing onto the air vent and as an added bonus is half the price (just sayin)
