Wrong size received

purchased a used product listed as Clever Grip Max but it was not the max size. Works great if you have a smaller phone, but I have an iPhone 6 Plus and it doesn't open wide enough to fit my phone. I have bought many Max smart grippers for myself and my family and they are amazing. I gave this a 3 start because it was incorrectly advertised as the max size.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • -

Works to the point of failure

My second and last. At first glance a nice product. Never lost an iPhone, rotates 90 degrees. Then it began to fall apart; eventually the metal clip locked in the rubber grip came loose and it just stopped holding and fell off the dashboard. The latter was only (3) months old. I would like to contact MFG. But instead I am writing this review.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Great holder but blocks ventilation.

Works as described. Like the easy access, hands-free calling and navigation to view/listen. I wish the product had an accessory to extend the holder under the vent. In summer it blocks cool air and the phone gets so cold when I finally take it out even after short trips. Because of this, I'm not sure I can use it in the winter without damaging my phone with prolonged heat stroke.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

The holder is attached to the air vent of the car with two small pins. These pins slide over the ventilation rib. If your air vents and vents are not in one piece, please do not purchase this item. I tried that and completely broke the vent on my Audi A3. Very expensive repair. It also doesn't hold my iPhone 6plus properly, my case is pretty thin. This can work if you don't use a case. After destroying the vent, I threw it in the trash.

Pros
  • nice little thing
Cons
  • Not all fit

Best hands free car phone holder

This is the best little phone holder I have ever seen. I have an iPhone 6+ with an Otterbox case (very large) and it fits! It's perfect for hands-free calls: just turn on the speaker. The main reason I bought it was for the directions. It fits perfectly in my air vents and holds my heavy iPhone with no issues. It's a lot safer than looking down. I bought them as stockings for the whole family. Unfortunately it didn't work in my son's car. I drive a Honda Pilot and it's perfect.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Good but not great

Much better made than a Lamicall product!

This portable phone holder is well made and much more durable than the first Lamicall Air Vent Clip Holder I bought. I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G phone in an Otterbox case. Less than a week later, Lamikol collapsed. The Bell+Howell clip is perfect for your phone and Otterbox case. It's made of a much more durable plastic than Lamicall. It is also perfect for bleeding my VW Jetta SEL. I'm glad I read the previous comments/ratings. I strongly recommend buying this product!

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Available in white only

Like this product Will continue to buy if needed

Like this product Will continue to buy if needed The first Bell product. My whole family uses Samsung and iPhone. The best secure phone holder we've bought since buying phone holders. Suggest that since Samsung 8 has an extended glass edge, you want to use a good cell cover to protect the glass, The Bell is very strong and durable. We have this model and Bell isn't putting too much pressure on it. Ideal! For our use, our phones stay in place even when driving over bumps in the road. hope thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Annual trial
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Works great with iPhone 6s+

This phone mount works great with my iPhone 6s+ in the Incipio Slim case. I tried the Galaxy s5 in an Otterbox Commuter case and the case makes this combination too thick. As for the heat issue, I hate having hot air blowing on my face, so I almost never use the dash fans in the winter. I prefer to run my car heater on a mix of floor and defroster or just on the floor. If you like the hot airflow, I see that as an issue - the potential for heating the phone. I tried this mount on a 2011โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Volume
