Review on 🗺️ Garmin Portable Friction Mount: Convenient Frustration-Free Packaging for Easy Use by Sean Patel

and heat or freeze your phone) or glue (which just ruins your dashboard). This weighted base's ball joint fits into the back of my last fancy suction cup phone mount! (See photo.) The weighted base is just the right size for my dashboard, so it's the least obstructive to my field of vision. The way I use it, the tilt of the ball joint is limited to being absolutely vertical, but that's a minor issue. I end up using it outside of its original design. I don't know if Garmin has more swivels. I'm lucky in that the mount I fitted is high enough above the dash to plug in the charging cable, but low enough that the top of my phone doesn't constantly bump into the windshield. on the spot, even with mobile phone and holder, even when accelerating or braking, without hesitation. If you press it firmly with your hand, it will move naturally. (It's not glued to the dashboard, after all.) I like that it's easy to take off and hide because it's not glued. My only concern is that the non-slip material on the bottom gets dusty and doesn't "stick" as well as I keep moving it. Installation is as simple as snapping the neck onto the weighted base and placing it on a clean dashboard. The hardest part is defining your preferred location, but setting it up is easy.
