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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than a fine for using a portable device.

I like the location of this unit even though this is my second car. Auto to handle my device. A ground unit was not an option. It's the perfect accessory to carry your mobile phone while driving, even if you don't use it for GPS or Escort Live! California, Nevada and other states will issue you a ticket if you use your phone while driving, and hanging your phone in a holder puts you at less risk of ticket violation than holding it to your ear while talking. I've never used the clip in "portrait" mode, but in "landscape" mode, foam fingers occasionally press my volume buttons and turn the volume down. This is bad when I get voice guidance from my GPS! I think landscape should be the default device for this device and portrait an option, but I would also redesign it to work with landscape phones by default, i.e. make it a bit wider without affecting the volume of the adjustment buttons. is that I had mount rails that needed frequent adjustment ("fingers" kept slipping while the bottom finger kept slipping off the mounting point) and the device didn't work on a number of cars I rented because of the vent holes were closed. wrong geometry. The only real issue I had was that after 2+ years of use, one of the mounts broke and I had to buy a brand new mount. At less than $12 for a new device, it's not that big of a deal.

Pros
  • Spring loaded locking mechanism
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about this unit everything is fine
