Review on IPOW Upgraded X-Shaped Double Clamp Universal Long Shockproof Arm Phone Car Mount Windshield/Dash: Strong Suction Cup, Compatible with iPhone 8/8 Plus/X/7/7 Plus, Galaxy S9/S8 by Scott Tompkins

[Update 8/25/16: Ipow seller contacted me about my review and offered a replacement with a longer bracket and a different phone holder, both of which I find far more satisfactory. The pod is a couple of inches longer, which allows me to mount the vacuum cleaner lower on the windshield where it's less of an obstruction to my view. The longer arm also has a brace that sits on top of the dash, although I find the longer arm is still pretty stable without it. The interchangeable phone holder is a big improvement over the 4-lever clip and is quite original - on the sides that hold the phone, squeeze your thumb and forefinger and hold the phone securely, then open it with a push of the button The back. You have to see it to understand how it works, so check out the Ipow® Smartphone Long Arm 13 Car Mount Quick Release Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6 6+ 6S 6S Plus 5S 5 iPod Touch Samsung Galaxy S5 S4/ 3 Note 2/3,Nexus,Nokia,LG G3,HTC&GPS Devices" The photo on the Revain page for this item appears to show a suction cup mounted higher on the windshield, but it doesn't have to be, and I do am much happier With the lower ranking I can now get with this replacement I am grateful to Ipow for their efforts to ensure I am happy with their product Genuine Item - Ipow.ps Exclusive Promotion I have added two stars to this review, based on a great Ipow seller promotion.] The news is that it hasn't come loose from the windshield in weeks since I put it in. But it's certainly not a Long Arm - it's quite short and I wish it had would be a little longer. I also don't like the clip that much because it's hard to grab, a thumb lever is just opposite the attachment circle on the back, it's hard to grab. But the grip is strong, so that's good. But on my iPhone 6S, one of the handles is right on top of the volume button, so I have to move the phone a bit. Luckily I had another iPhone mount that only had two grips and was much simpler. plugged and unplugged the phone, which to my delight used the same socket and attachment ball. So I replaced that handle with this suction cup and hand and now I'm pretty happy. The other four-pronged grip is now attached to another suction cup that doesn't have a lever and sits atop a central baffle ready to hold another GPS or device. The holder is quite stable, does not sag or wobble. Ideal for Nexar and Waze while driving. As I said, I would have liked the arm to be a little longer so that it was easier to reach.
