It is wonderful to have a stand that easily adapts to the size of my phone. The adhesive surface does not stand up to hot weather, but, so far, the holder has remained affixed to my dash. I bought some velcro strips to reattach it should the need arise again.

Doesn't work well at all. Phone keeps drifting down where you can't see the maps. Glue tabs that holds the 2 pieces together doesn't stick and the phone and holder falls to the floor.

Since it’s winter time and I have the heat running I clamp the holder to the vent. Well the adhesive didn’t hold because of the heat coming from the vent.

Too heavy

It's heavy. You can adjust the angle but it's just so heavy it drags the vent to the lowest angle. The grip is also so weak that your phone will flip from side to side as you turn corners

It’s a great looking mount, however it’s not strong enough for heavy phones with a case. I have a iPhone XS Max and it always slumped over. Had to return it.

Thank you for your review. After attaching the mount to the desired location, we recommend letting it sit for up to 24 hours. This will allow the adhesive to adhere and create a strong hold. Please feel free to contact [email protected], if you have any questions. Thanks, Bracketron Support

Didn’t work for me

I purchased this universal phone holder because it seems just a bit safer to peek at something on the dashboard than it is to look at something down in the cup holder. It absolutely did NOT work on my dash. Maybe because it’s not smooth, but I don’t know. Then I tried sticking on the vent adapter, but the 3M pads had zero stick, so I superglued that baby on. Stuck it in both a vertical AND horizontal vent and it fell out both times. So now it’s sitting in my door pocket.

My first and last phone holder

I purchased this holder to try to keep the phone out of my hand but still near my line of sight, but was skeptical of the simple mechanism. After two months of use daily with dozens of ins and outs I see no signs of the mechanism wearing out, and it holds my iPhone X and XS Max perfectly. It also matches the interior of my vehicle (late model Honda Ridgeline) perfectly, and looks like a factory-matched accessory.

I didn’t like this phone holder for my iPhone 8 Plus. It probably would have worked - it has a nice design - but I prefer a clamp mount with a bean bag type base

I own a note 9 and this is just not sturdy enough to support the size and weight of the phone. Would work well with a smaller phone.
