    I originally wanted this item for holding an after-market backup camera screen, but the backup camera screen was too fat to fit within the grippers. So, I just use it for my phone and it works well - holds the phone fine and stays in the dash vent as advertised.

    I do really like this vent holder for mobile phones. It was a little hard to manipulate/move where I wanted it at first, but with continued use it has gotten much easier. Great product for the price.

    Plastic material feels cheap. Works fine for most phones. My iPhone X with a thin case fits good. At times I’ve noticed it not holding onto my phone so make sure it’s snug fit to avoid it from falling. Similar to other reviews it depends on your vent. Works fine on the vents in the Nissan Pathfinder 2013. Did not fit the vents for 2019 Camero.

    Great design and does exactly what it says. This will definitely prevent your phone from overheating if you have the heater on. Unfortunately had to return because it does not snugly fit the vents of my Toyota vehicle (I imagine it is the same issue for any thick plastic vents).

    I like the fact that it has a vented clip allowing the air to flow through it. Putting the phone in it could be easier, sometimes it squeezes the volume button, but it still does what I purchased it for.

    This item works as designed, sturdy and easy to install. I would give it a 5 stars if the phone holder is a bit easier to put and remove phone.

    The good, bad, and ugly of the vent phone holder.

    I purchased this mobile phone holder to replace my window mounted holder. This one is designed to connect to the vents in the vehicle. In that aspect it works well, because with the window mounted holder the phone would overheat at times. The vent holder allows air circulation on the phone. However, the vent holder can be cumbersome and difficult to use at times because the vent connector does not grip well and the holding arm does not swivel appropriately at times, and the gripping arms can cause the phone to pop out at times. Overall though, it does make holding the phone more convenient because it is closer to the driver.

    It doesn't fit well on all vehicles but I think it is a good alternative to the suction cup type of holder.

    I have two phones, and needed to have one visible while driving but balancing on leg was cumbersome and it slid off going around corners. Got this to try. Works pretty good. Wish the rubber holders that slide into the vent were longer and/or wider so it would hold it a bit more secure on the vent.

    Bought this due to my current vent holder was too close to my shifter on my truck. Allows to move it away from the shifter so my iPhone 11 does not get hit every time. Great for long road trips and easy access when at the stop light. Got on sale during a daily deal.

    Would be nice to have two rubber “clips” for the vents instead of one. Spring loaded clamp holds phone well and I do LOVE the double articulating arm. Ball joint on phone end give great flexibility.

    Holds phone securely. Does make a small rattling noise from the vibration of the car. I don’t mind because it doesn’t block AC vent.
