Review on πŸ“± Bracketron PHV-202-BL Grip-iT GPS and Mobile Device Holder - Black by Jerry Chembola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works *almost* in every car

I've bought four of these so far. One for my car and one for my wife, one that I keep in my holdall and have used in rental cars across the US, and one that may still be sitting forgotten in a rental car in Lexington, Kentucky. Overall, this is a really useful gadget for almost any car. It attaches to the air conditioner vents fairly easily and I've never had a problem with it falling off or breaking. It's perfect for using my phone as a GPS or listening to music. The only downsides are: 1) Maybe 1 in 10 cars have the vents positioned in a way that just can't make it work. It's very frustrating when that happens, so I'd recommend trying it out if you're worried about it. 2) The mounting brackets that hold the device to the vents can be a bit stiff and difficult to attach at times. Especially if you are tired and have been on a plane all day! Also, I really recommend it to everyone, especially my fellow travellers. And if you find one I forgot in Lexington (or maybe Omaha), enjoy! *REDACTED* Sorry I have to deduct a star from my previous rating. I'm not sure if the manufacturing process has changed on these units, but I've had clips twice that flex around the fins and then break. Once this happens, the product is effectively useless. So it's still an OK $10 product, but it should last longer than it does now.

Pros
  • Works on many
Cons
  • So far so good
