Looks chunky in the box, but that's only because all the hardware for each vehicle combination is included. I don't like glue on my dash, but if that's your speed, you can do it. Mine is set to auto vent. The design includes a small foot for the lever, my old car mount didn't have this and the mount fell off the vent many times. Battery. The grips will not hold thick case phones, my son was trying to charge his phone in an Otterbox and it fell out.
