Great & sturdy

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

Finally found one that works with my windshield and dashboard height. We bought this for a 2005 Dodge grand Caravan if you know that vehicle it’s a large window and it’s very slanted and the dashboard is pretty high and deep. This works really well for the width that I need for my iPhone XS Max case otterbox, it’s very easy to put the phone in and remove the phone without having to remove my cover. I’ve had no problems with it falling off. I had no problems installing it getting it to where I wanted it and getting it together. It was all very simple and worth the $15 or $20 I paid for it.

A pretty good phone mount

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2024

This iOttie cell phone mount seems to work pretty well so far. I like its versatility to work with many different phones and sizes. The suction cup holds the mount very well to a windshield. It seems to have a thin coating of a gel like substance that helps it seal better to smooth and maybe not so smooth surfaces. The length of the boom is adjustable which works well with windshields that are highly sloped. The side clamps hold the phone very securely. The biggest problem I have is that the complements are not stiff enough which allows the loaded mount to shake quite a bit while driving. Its not terrible, but is annoying. For the price, i consider this mount to be a good value and would recommend it for most general uses. If you need a really sturdy and highly customizable mount, look at RAM Mounts.

Just about perfect

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

Style: Latest GenerationPattern Name: Dash & WindshieldVerified Purchase

I've gone through about 10 different phone mounts over the years trying to find "the one," and this might be as close as I'm getting.

First, one of the key features of this model is that it comes with a mounting plate. This makes mounting much easier and gives you more options as you can stick it nearly anywhere and have a smooth, flat surface to mount the holder. The dashboard of my truck doesn't have many places that are flat enough to mount a phone holder, and this created a lot more options. The place I chose to mount is too textured for a suction cup to grip, but the mounting plate sticks no problem.

The suction on the mount is incredible. Even with it turned "off", the grip is still rock solid. I actually drove around for a day with it "off" and the mount never let go. To remove from the mounting plate though is easy, simply pull up on the tab and "peel" the suction cup off. It will take a little effort, but that's good!

The all joints on the arm are "indexed" with interlocking teeth, which means once it's tighted down it won't move, at all. It also won't (cannot) loosen up over time from vibration/wear. Adjustability is great, too, though this particularly model won't extend fore/aft if if that is a concern.

Now, the phone grip is just as good as the rest of the mount. Lightly press your phone into the mount and the arms snap close, tightly gripping your phone. My phone is relatively heavy (Google Pixel 7 in a Google branded hard case), and it does not move, AT ALL. My truck isn't the smoothest riding vehicle and Michigan roads aren't great either, but this is the first mount I've used that shows zero movement or vibration. It's rock-solid. I've tried several highly reviewed magnet mounts, and none come even close to this stability.

Removing the phone is easy. I can do it one-handed, simply squeeze the "wings" together and the jaws pop open and lock.

The only minor issue I have with the mount is that the phone tends to sit every so slightly crooked, which only is an issue as the bottom charge port is sometimes off-center and partially blocked by one of the lower "jaws" of the mount. I can usually just nudge the phone a bit to adjust, or at worst take the phone out and try again paying more attention to how it's oriented before closing the jaws.

All in all, seems to be an excellent product with good design and better than average construction and details.

Great mount and great service

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

Style: Latest GenerationPattern Name: Dash & WindshieldVerified Purchase

I've been using the iOttie One Touch since the 3rd version came out many years ago. They are fantastic. Easy to set up, stable, and in the Texas heat with a black interior, they last surprisingly long. I get about two years out of each one before the suction cup fails. Up until now, I've never had any interaction with their customer service because I've never needed to. The product just works as intended out of the box for multiple years in the harshest conditions you can reasonably expect to put a phone mount through outside of some kind of extreme sport something or other.

This time, though, I dropped the screw that connects the suction arm and the mount arm and my car ate it; vanished without a trace. Totally my fault, nothing to do with iOttie. I emailed their customer service to see if I could just buy the screw or if I needed to buy the whole thing again. They said "no worries, just submit a warranty claim." Even though "I lost a part" isn't normally covered under a manufacturer defect warranty. So I did. Got the part maybe three days later. It was the wrong screw. Now I'm in a bit of a pickle. They did me a favor by warrantying a part that I lost when they didn't need to. But they sent the wrong part. Can I really be annoyed at a mistake in a gratis replacement? So I shot them another email explaining the issue. They said "no worries, we'll send you a new screw, the right one this time." About three days later, I get a whole new unit. Straight-up replacement. That's fantastic customer service.

Seems great! Dash plate doesn't stick

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

Style: Latest GenerationPattern Name: Dash & WindshieldVerified Purchase

I have not done much more than set this up, but so far it seems mostly great. However the plate for mounting to the dashboard doesn't stick AT ALL. The mount fell down immediately after I set it up because the plate detached from the dashboard. The "sticky" material that is supposed to stick to the dashboard is barely even sticky to the touch. Fortunately, the suction cup is strong and was able to securely suction directly to the dashboard. Hopefully it holds long-term. The mechanism to auto-grip your phone works well and I am very happy with it. The cord clip on the back is a nice thought, but it's too out-of-the-way to be practical for regular use so I'll probably just be draping my cable over the mount between uses. If the suction cup holds long-term then I'd give this 5 stars, but since the intended mechanism for dashboard mounting is pathetically ineffective I took off a star.

BEST Dash Mount for our RV

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023

Style: 2nd GenerationPattern Name: Dash & WindshieldVerified Purchase

I found this product reviewed on WIRED as one of the Ten Best Cell Phone Mounts. I vote it #1. I stuck this to a non-smooth dashboard surface, and it’s never come loose in several months or use. I did not use the included mounting disc; I simply adhered the suction surface on the mount to the dashboard surface.

The lock and release mechanism is beyond compare, very easy to operate. You place the phone on the mount’s feet, which hold it in place, and press lightly on the phone to activate the clamp. To release the phone, you squeeze the two tabs below the clamps together, and the phone is free but still supported by the feet so that it doesn’t fall. Some design engineer really thought this out well.

The location of the mount it obviously a personal choice. I mounted mine on the dash-top to the left of the driver. I can see the phone clearly without distraction from driving. The mount is stable and does not shake or wobble.

You might want to consider being able to attach a charging cord from the mount location. I have a USB port close enough to connect the cord to the phone while driving. I found no need for the included magnetic cord attachment with my IPhone 14. The cord fits snugly enough without it.

I initially set up the mount with the arm extended to its maximum length to bring the screen closer to me. However, this resulted in minor shake and wobble of the phone. I found that I had excellent view of the phone’s screen with the arm contracted to its minimum setting where the phone was very stable. Do make sure that you securely tighten the round locking nut that allows rotation of the mount. I discovered shortly after installing the mount that the looseness of this nut was the cause of phone wobble. This was a “user” mistake.

I am super impressed with the design and quality of this product.

Easy to install, fair price, works perfectly!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

I purchased this in order to use my phone less while driving and it has definitely helped. It was super easy to install and I haven't had an issue with it staying in place. I like the adjustable function as well. It clips in really well and releases just as easily. It even stays snug though I have a pop socket on the back. Would recommend!

Versatile/sturdy!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

Style: Latest GenerationPattern Name: Dash & WindshieldVerified Purchase

As most of us, I’ve been looking for the “right” car mount for my smart phone. I came across the iOttie brand when a friend showed me his. The issue I run across is that there are few flat surfaces in my RAV 4 to mount. One thing I didn’t want was to have the mount in an unsafe location where I have to look away from the road ahead of me. I finally mounted this to the corner of my windshield which I found was the most safe and convenient area. The mount allows you to keep your eyes on the road and does not obstruct the field of view. Additionally, the telescopic and pivoting features allow for the perfect fit. This mount is well made and sturdy. Your smart phone will stay in place without any movement. The quick mounting and release features work great! I’ll report back on this after some use to see how it holds up.

A great revision to an already great product.

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024

Style: Latest GenerationPattern Name: Dash & WindshieldVerified Purchase

I’ve owned 3 of these phone holders from iOttie now in 3 difference cars. This specific model is the most recent innovation of the device. Amazingly it was the cheapest on Amazon, at $20 for me when I purchased it a month ago.

It’s lighter and much more refined than the older one, which I’ve owned multiple of. It feels higher quality and there’s no play in the joints/hinges/springs/buttons. Everything moves when told, and moves with purpose. It’s solid and I really appreciate this over the previous edition.

The phone cable holder is FINALLY integrated INTO THE PRODUCT. It doesn’t use a silly adhesive magnet that they expect you to install on the device and your cable any longer. Just a simple rubber bushing to slot the cable into, however works best for you.

It comes with an adhesive circular base plate to stick onto your dash, which the sticky suction cup is supposed to hold onto, but the base plate actually did not work with the old hard “leather” in my 2006 focus. Instead, I put the suction cup directly onto the dash and it hasn’t moved once. This is something I attempted with the older model, only for the suction cup to be too weak to hold onto the surface without the base plate installed first. I’m amazed how much nicer this is for the price and it was perfect for me.

fantastic single-hand use phone holder for cd slot

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024

Style: 2nd GenerationPattern Name: CD SlotVerified Purchase

After trying vent phone holders and being disappointed, I decided to try a cd slot holder. This one has been amazing! It works great. It's easy to use with one hand. Nothing is blocking the charge cord at the bottom. And it swivels in whichever direction you want it to. Excellent product! (If swiveling the holder starts to make a weird gritty sound, just pop it apart and clean it. Dust has settled into the ball/socket area.)
