Bracketron - TripGrip Window & Vent Mount for Most Cell Phones - Black

The mount was easy to use and held the phone well. The window suction cup worked well, and is easy to release. After about 3 months, the ratcheting mechanism stopped clicking consistently when I tried to reattach the phone. It would take some fiddling around to get it to "grab". A few weeks later, it stopped working completely. The green button that releases the arms would not pop-out on its own, as if a spring inside had broken. If I manage to grab the green button and pull it out, then it will ratchet again. The button is small and slippery, so that isn't a good solution. I am past the product return window, so I might try to do a "MacGyver" solution and use duct tape or epoxy to make a little handle so I can grab the green button to pull it out.

I have two of these that I have purchased. Both were on sale for a good price. The one that failed. Appears to be to plastic inside the suction cup. I could maybe attempt the super glue it but probably won't hold. My other one works really well and I'm happy with it. I like that I can maneuver the arm anywhere so that my phone can stay cool behind the vents and not overheat. It's easy to turn horizontal if I want to sit in my car and watch a video. You have to get used to the release with the green button by using three fingers to catch the phone, but once you get used to it it's normal. There are two other ways to mount this product. I don't like the setup for the vent mount. I feel my vents are too weak to hold with just a single hook. I think stronger vents this would be fine. I don't really want to put a sticky thing on my dash. The company offers a 1-year warranty, but I do not think for the price I purchased shipping it back to the manufacturer would be worthwhile. I would feel safe purchasing one of their more expensive mounts with the 1-year warranty.

Shaky when driving on bumpy roads, and does not hold the phone tighter. It was difficult to get it to suction. Had to wet it a little. It is very useful though.

I've only used the vent clip mechanism so far (haven't tried the suction cup yet). It was simple to install and my phone stays more securely in place than other phone holders I've owned due to the terminal hooks on the pieces inserted into the vent slats. Not the sturdiest material, but I think it will last awhile. Price is reasonable

This phone mount is sturdy, secure, and easy to install. The suction cup holds firmly without slipping, even on longer drives, and the adjustable grip keeps my phone stable. I like how simple it is to rotate and reposition for navigation or calls. The quality feels durable, and it gives peace of mind knowing my phone won’t fall while driving. Definitely worth the purchase and highly recommended!
