Review on πŸ“± Dewtox Car Phone Holder: Sturdy Vent Mount Stand | Firm Grip | Compatible with 4-7inch Mobile Phones by Matt Charlton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good phone holder, nice features

I have a new car so I needed a new phone holder. I used a PopSocket mount in my previous car, but there is no room on my new dashboard for this type of installation. This mount has several options for a proper installation, but I will say that the instructions lack all the information. Particularities. The main thing the instructions do NOT specify is how to adjust or attach the part that attaches to the vent. (Actually the most important part!) However, the mount is very nice and solid once you get the hang of it. You have to unscrew the vent hook attachment all the way (you can literally see the plastic piece getting longer), then insert it into the vent and then screw it back in the opposite direction to tighten it onto the vent. You can then attach the main body by simply sliding it over the ball end of the mount and tightening the screw over it. The ball rotates easily and allows you to set the phone at any angle, which is a nice feature. To lock your phone in the holder, simply press the unlock button on the right side and the levers will open automatically. You can also adjust the height, but to do this you have to manually pull the part on the bottom of the device. I have an iPhone XR and it fits great with room left. Once the phone is in the holder, simply pinch both sides toward the center, then pinch again to ensure it snaps into place. Your phone is protected and will not move while driving. To remove the phone, simply press the button on the right again and the levers will open allowing you to remove the phone. I'm deducting one star for poor instructions, but the product itself is 5 stars and appears to be very durable. I have never used this type of mount so I will update my review if there are any issues with regular use. the music or the program is interrupted when I hit a pothole or pothole in the road. This isn't the mount's fault of course, it's the result of this type of phone mount (which attaches to air vents).

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • So-so
