Cheap And Effective Overall - Wall Mount Corded Phone Critique

By Nathan Lopez


But for use with your navigation app and/or traffic layer, it's great. I picked this mount because I wasn't sure whether I'll be using the dashboard mount, or the vent mount.

The Thunderbolt is a large, heavy phone with a side micro-USB charger port. I had some concerns with other universal car mounts because of the charger port location.

It can be swiveled to portrait or landscape orientation very easily. The windshield mount holds steady and firm on the window. This is the one to get. I was concerned that it would obscure the USB port on the Droid X but it works great.

I use it with my phone as both a GPS and other times I use it to play my music. I am 100% satisfied with this mount. The release knob is should have been smoother. Weather mounting on windshield, dash or vent this unit does the job. Bought this for my HTC Glacier as I use its GPS instead of my Garmin now (Google maps is just so much faster and more accurate) so I got this to use for that and I'm very happy with it. It's well built, feels really solid and not cheap at all. Hard to believe such a useful, quality product can cost so little. I would pay more if I ever had to replace and that pretty much says it all. I've never had a single problem with the suction cup not sticking and locking; it's worked perfectly and stayed snug tight to my windshield. I must confess the windshield mount is the only thing I've tried, so I'm not sure how the dashboard or air-vent mount work, but I never needed them; though I will give them a try one day.

Promptly returned as it was truly unusable, I have this mounted directly onto my dashboard with the suction cup. It stays put and does exactly what it is supposed to do.

It was easy to put it in and take it out of the holder. A couple times the mount slid apart in the sideways position, but this may be due to user error in not fully and securely sliding the two pieces together. Even though it's made of plastic, it is nice and rugged and doesn't give you the feeling of being 'cheap'. A great buy that I highly recommend!

This product is much better than a similar item I recently tried that cost just a few dollars less. This unit fits very well in the vents of the circular mini cooper, No adjustment needed at all Very happy with unit strong spring that holds unit in as well.

I bought it for my iPhone and it works perfectly. Most of the other "iPhone" mounts forced you to remove your case to use them.
