    Magnet weaker than the one I replaced it with. Not keen on the press on to air conditioner fan. But it works.

    This was exactly what I wanted. Very good quality that clip easily on my vent and strong enough to hold the weight of the phone so it doesn’t shake and jump around while I drive.

    Does not fit in my 2025 Kia Sportage. The mount does not clip into the vent as the back of the mount is curved.

      Hi there, thanks for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear the mount didn’t fit your 2025 Kia Sportage vents. Vent designs can vary quite a bit, and we appreciate you pointing this out—it helps others and gives us insight for future improvements.

      We aim to provide durable products, and it's disappointing to hear this one didn't meet that expectation for you. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

    I love the idea and it does work but my biggest complaint is that it doesnt stay in the position i put it in. It goes on my vent and my phone sticks but it does move around even after i tighten it.

    Bought two of these and they both broke within a few days. Snapped in the middle. Sucks because other than that I really liked it and was useful.
