Mixed feeling

Apple CarPlay switches from wireless charger to wired charger. Yes, it supports CarPlay. But that's not one-handed operation. We have to put the phone in the holder and with a click we land on the lightning cable connector. Then it will be a one-hand operation. The back of the holder is sharp. My car has thin leather. The holder pricked the skin, and several dimples appeared on the skin after a few hours of use. Be careful.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not all fit

It didn't take as long as I thought it should.

I just wanted to know what you would do with an iPhone mount if the bottom part falls off and no longer holds the phone. I have bought many of these for myself and my family and have found that they do not last very long. Please let me know if anything can be done about the bracket not sticking and the bottom of the iPhone holder falling off so it won't hold the phone anymore, thanks.

Lightning connector broken BUT great warranty and customer support

After normal use since April, the Lightning connector broke off while installing an iPhone. It turns out that the cable is a proprietary design and cannot be replaced with a regular Apple-approved cable. We have two such holders. We contacted iBolt through their website and they emailed back same day. At their request, we sent them a photo of the broken part and a copy of our Revain receipt (I used an iPhone for this). They immediately sent free replacements. There is a two year guarantee. The…

Sturdy and well designed!

I was blown away by the fact that this $17 dock is one of the best phone docks I have ever owned. It has a great, durable design. It's very stable and the ability to customize both the lightning port and the mount itself is incredibly useful. Windows or dashboard, no case or thick case on your phone, you can adapt to almost any situation with spacers. top level to release the phone and you need to pry it out of the lightning connector. This isn't necessarily an issue for me, but if you're…

Convenient 1.5 hand operation but you have to use the included cable

This is a good docking station for your car. While it's designed to be operated with one hand, that's not entirely the dock's fault. The Lightning connector is so tightly attached to the phone that removing and installing the phone in the docking station requires a bit of extra effort. I would call it a 1.5 hand job. I noticed a small issue with the cable that makes it impossible for me to rate it 5 stars. The cable is quite long (2 meters!) which is a plus when you need that much. However, I…

  • Decent performance

5 stars IF it lasts a long time

After trying Mountr 4 or 5 times over the last few years I finally gave up. It's a shame, because the magnet idea is great and I really liked this feature. However, there have been many different iPhone not charging issues over time. It seems to use very poor quality metal plugs and other poor designs that interfere with charging. Too bad. Now let's try it with iBolt. I tore apart the mounting system and glued the mount to my already purchased Prius cell phone mount. Connecting my iPhone isn't…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Little things

Versatile pack with many customization options

This pack comes with a number of useful parts that allow you to use it for a variety of purposes. Both the Rok3 and Mini mount use a standard 17mm ball, making them useful for many applications. I use the included Rok3 car mount to mount my Garmin GPS in my car. I use an iPhone holder with a mini adhesive back as an iPhone docking station in my office. This kit comes with many standard parts: two mounts with a 17mm mounting ball, a 6" MFI Lightning cable, a smartphone mount and many…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Minor issues

Well while it lasted - it has a major design flaw

I bought iBolt in August 2016. It worked perfectly, there were no complaints for about a year until the upper lock broke off. I was able to put it back in place and it held the phone pretty well until a few months ago when it became very weak again. My phone was shaking so much I tried reattaching the latch with super glue but it didn't work. that does not work. The locking design has disadvantages as it needs to be much thicker and reinforced to withstand wear and tear longer. Pros:…
