Review on πŸ“² USA Gear Car Mount Air Vent Phone Holder Cradle - Adjustable Display & 360 Degree Rotation for Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Droid, Apple iPhone & More by Kevin Mckechnie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More flavor, less filling

I mean it has some nice features but minimal fuss to use. First let me say my phone is an LG with a large rubber case so I pretty much ignored the compatibility list and checked it out to see if all the ports and buttons were available. They are. Both the side handles and the feet on the bottom are deep enough to hold a phone with a rubber case. What I didn't take into account is that my air vents slope downwards. Descent. So when I tried to insert the clips in the direction shown in the photo, they just wouldn't turn on. But guess what. The clips rotate so you can turn them upside down. Once I did that I was able to safely insert them into the vent. FWIW, the clips can be completely removed. So if you snap off one of them with too much pressure (but don't), you might get replacement clips. I had to install and uninstall these multiple times. to get the right placement. To open the latches, I simply used my fingertip to gently nudge the clasp (one at a time) much like you undo a bobby pin, and then wiggle the clasp rather than pulling it out all at once. installed, press the two buttons on the sides below and the handles will expand. Slide the phone back into place and squeeze the handles together so they hold the phone in place. I found it fairly easy to open and close the handles with one hand. Advantages: 360Β° rotation and angle that can be firmly fixed, wide soft grips, easy to put on and take off the phone, stable, does not block the view, bring closer to the phone, relatively easy to put on and take off, one-hand operation , cheap price, long service life 3 years. Warranty. Cons: The mounting clips are flimsy plastic and require a gentle touch, the directional lever on the vent gets stuck when the holder is installed.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
