📱 Arkon VSM Adapter Kit for iPhone X 8 7 6S Plus - Car Installation Base Included - Retail Black Review

I bought this smartphone mount for my car because I wanted to screw the phone mount to the dashboard. I have purchased Arkon gear in the past and have been very satisfied. Well, that's the same story. I installed this into my dash with my own screws, but Arkon provides screws if you don't have them. The installation is quite easy and I am very happy with the result as it is very durable now. I'm not sure how well the glue will hold because I've never used it. However, if you are looking for a…

Use this in an 18 wheel day cab for those of you familiar with these trucks that have a rough ride. It holds up pretty decently and the mounting tape means I won't be drilling holes in the dash. One of the scariest things for any owner is a messed up dashboard. The phone is used for ELD and is a thicker, more durable Kyocera device, it fits very tight and doesn't move easily. UPDATE: Thicker phones tend to fall out when hitting a bumpy stretch of road. I had to remove the clamp and install a…

I have a ProClip USA mount on a car fan. The old holder doesn't fit my Iphone X. I was hesitant to buy this clip but it's much cheaper than the Pro Clip USA holder. It just fitted onto the ProClip mount, I was able to just screw it into the holes provided. Others have mentioned having issues with the adjustable part of the holder on the right side. I have no problem with that. It is easy to enter and easy to remove. Maybe I use two hands for this most of the time. Still don't think it's a…

Attaches this to my ProClip mount as ProClip doesn't offer an adjustable mount (well they had one but needed a screwdriver to adjust it). I attached it to the ProClip with screws (not adhesive) and it's very secure. When drilling out the ProClip, use a bit that is not too large (it should be large enough for the screw to fit). Celebration). Once I put the bolts in it was secure and I probably didn't need to use the nuts on the back, although I did for extra strength. I also added some blue…

Simple and effective design for smartphone. It fits large phones (I have an iPhone 8 plus) which is why I bought it. Only one side of the "grippers" actually moves, and the spring is fairly stiff, offering strength to hold heavier, larger phones. Because of its rigidity, it puts a lot of pressure on the Arkon mount itself. Knowing that the base of my (Subaru) Arkon is held in place by a metal screw in a plastic hole, I'm concerned that constant pressure on it will wear down the attachment…

Update: I've been using it for over 6 months and I'm very satisfied. I installed it on a pro clip in a '13 GTI. It fits perfectly and works great. I mentioned earlier that I need an easy one-handed solution. The trick to achieving this with this holder is to add some sort of padding to make the minimum closed width slightly narrower than your phone. For me it was a strip of 3/4" double-sided velcro wrapped around the metal slide bars. I found that I adjusted it by cutting the velcro slightly…

I just bought three of these for my three cars. I've had fairly expensive ProClip branded combo solutions (both a dedicated car mount and a dedicated phone mount) and I really like the ProClip solution, but (1) it's ridiculously expensive and (2) it only allows you to use one phone. . I share cars with my wife and two sons who just started driving, and the four of us all have (very) different phones. So the rest of my family has to look at (but not use) a dedicated phone mount for my Nexus 6…
