Holds the iPhone perfectly

This phone holder is perfect for the car. The tension is perfect for holding my iPhone 11. I used to have another brand that was too tight and difficult to fit my phone in. It doesn't have this problem. Tension is maintained with the phone with no slippage. I used to use the magnetic holder as well, but the stabilization system on the phone's camera lens broke - the guy at the Apple Store told me it was because of the magnetic holder. I'm not sure if that's true, but I don't have to worry about

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Some bugs

First I wanted to say that Belkin makes great products because I have used many of their products, from PC accessories to mobile accessories. I liked the concept of this holder because I wanted to get away from using a magnet like I used to. But this holder was never going to stay secure in the air vents in my car and it took two hands to install the holder because it moved around too much. I think it's probably due to the type of vents in my car. So it looks like I'm going back to the magnetic

Pros
  • Still happy
Cons
  • old

Has worked great for several months! The silicone case slips off!

It was easy to set up although the phone will slip out of the clip if you have a silicone/smooth leather phone case. Thanks to my round AC grip, it holds the bottom of my phone to keep it from falling. When a fix was found, it worked for several months. Sometimes I have to turn my phone to landscape and back to portrait. It was fine for a while, but one day the phone clip just detached from the clip attached to the air vent when I turned my phone over. I've tried putting it back together butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Suitable for some cars but didn't help me much

The info on this product says it's good for iPhone 8 which it is but in my case it doesn't fit mine Toyota Sienna (minibus) vent hole. I have a blind right eye so I was trying to find a device that was high enough on the right or left (how little room for anything on the left) that I could easily look at it (for a GPS applications). Inserting it into the air vent works great, but the way the 2017 Toyota Sienna dashboard is made, the vent isn't high enough (for me) to easily see direction. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • I will add later

Get the new version

I like this kind of car phone mount. I don't like the way those mounted on top of the dash or window partially block the view of the road. A bracket on the air outlet eliminates this problem. The downside, of course, is that you lose an air vent, but this shouldn't be a problem for a driver, for example. However, I cannot recommend this version at all. Mine broke within a week. The part that tilts the phone from vertical to horizontal and vice versa is broken. I tried to switch brands butโ€ฆ

  • Decent performance

Simple and non-distracting

Bought for myself and my teenage daughter. The clip slides right onto the vent and stays in place. In my daughter's Ford Escape, I can lift my phone to the highest point and still get airflow from the bottom of the vent. The vents in my Kia Soul are shorter and wider so I lose airflow from that vent. It's not a problem for me, but maybe for someone. I ordered two more today for my other two daughters. What I like best is that it doesn't distract the eye when there's no phone in it. Some of theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Good quality but awkward to use

I had high hopes for this car phone holder. My previous car mount was a small profiled magnetic mount which I really liked. However, I recently got a new phone that supports wireless charging. With wireless charging, I can no longer wear a metal plate on the back of my phone as it interferes with wireless charging. So I had to find a new car mount that wasn't magnetic. It took me a while to find a new car fan holder. I wanted something that wasn't magnetic but small enough not to take up muchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • nothing here
