Review on Suction Cup Phone Holder for Socket Users - pop-tech Dashboard Car Phone Mount with Adjustable 360°Rotation, Includes 3M Sticky Adhesive Replacement - Black by Sean Patel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little gadget

Bought because my car doesn't have GPS or Bluetooth and my phone has a simple flat connector. I followed the instructions, cleaned the dashboard, let it dry and removed the flat trim from it, almost in the middle of my center air blocks. I then attached a sticky suction cup and waited 24 hours before attaching my phone to it. I love that it rotates for convenient viewing of the screen to search for GPS or quickly switch music without having to operate the phone itself. It's been running for a couple of weeks with no issues and has held up great through the heatwave when the car easily hits 140 degrees in direct sunlight. My pop socket is the perfect type with no bezels or raised edges to fit in and hold securely. I admit if you make too sharp a turn the momentum and gravity will knock the phone out of the pop socket mount, but knowing about this only encourages you to take turns slightly. It's easy to dock day or night and won't block any air vents.

Pros
  • Easy to install - just put your phone on and take it off. Be sure to install with the mounting suction cup on the windshield, desk or flat surface of the car dashboard. There is a locking mechanism at the top of the mount that presses and locks the suction device against the selected surface. The sticky gel pad made of durable parts of the suction cup phone holder can be removed to rinse with water and let dry completely to stick again.
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
