Click here for more information I like this item. The good reviews for this item are warranted, but it isn't without flaws, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars and not 4 or 5. The overall construction of this item is good. The lever for the suction cup makes it easy for it to stick to your windshield. The platform swivels so you can adjust the angle or use it in either portrait or landscape mode. The little arms that hold the phone have a little foam on them, so they really hold the phone in place. They are also adjustable so that they can be moved to better suit your needs. Unfortunately, the arms can only be placed on what would be the top or the bottom of the phone and not the sides.
I bought this item to use with my iPhone 4G's TomTom GPS app, so I basically use this in landscape mode. I have a long commute, so I need to have my phone plugged in, which would not be a problem if I didn't also use my phone to make hands free calls. The little foam arms either block the center (where I plug the phone) or the bottom corners (where the phone has the speaker/microphone). It would be great if the arms could be place along the sides of the phone, but they can't be; until then, the item will only get three stars from me.
If you do not intend to use your iPhone as I do, do not think twice about buying this item though. Aside from the above-mentioned problem, this mount is great Arkon IPM515 Windshield/Dashboard Mount with Slim-Grip Phone Holder--Compatible with iPhone 4
I have an Iphone 4 with the Incipico case. The suction cup is super strong. The mount is very well made. It holds the phone in place very well with adjustable pegs that have rubber pads that made contact with the device. It holds the phone in place very well. So if you have a truck that bounces around, this is the mount for you. Getting the phone in and out is a two hand operation. There is room for the headphones to be plugged in and a power adaptor. You can rotate the mount to verticle or horrizontal with our without the phone in place.
My main concern when I was looking to buy a windshield mount I wanted it to be slim and VERY secure. This meets and excels my expectation. Very slim and very secure. People said it was too tight and couldn't fit with a case but I didn't experience that. Both my husband and I have the iPhone 4s. He has a bumper and I have a case and it worked great with both. The only "issue" I experienced was that the prong that holds the phone in place would accidentally lock my phone. But I just moved the prongs a little and that fixed the issue. Wish I needed another one so I could buy another one!
I had a Griffin windshield mount for my iPhone 3G. I thought that was pretty good, but it had a problem of shaking a lot with the multi-segment arm. I worried that this wouldn't provide the flexibility to position the phone where I needed it. I was wrong. This keeps it stable, holds it very tight, and allows me to position the phone perfectly.
In short: Grips the windshield well, has plenty of flexibility to position the phone, holds the phone steady and is a good sturdy build. It's pretty compact too.
One point to note, as have other reviewers, pay no attention to the grip positions in the photos. Keep the top two "fingers" in the middle to clear the power button and headphone socket, and spread the bottom two apart to make room for the power cable. It still grips the phone perfectly tightly.
Highly recommended. A great accessory.
I've always been VERY iffy about any suction cup devices that stick to the windshield due to my past experiences with TomTom suction cups (just HORRIBLE). I was expecting this to be similar, and constantly fall off the windshield, but decided to give it a shot. I have to say this product is GREAT! The first time I used it, I cleaned my windshield, then put it on, and snapped the clip so it would stick like you're suppose to do. The first time I started driving with my iPhone 4 up in it, I was VERY nervous, I don't like waiting for my phone to go flying off the windshield while im driving on the interstate at 70+mph and me freak out while doing it. But this product has YET to come off the windshield after using it every day for over a month.
As far as people saying that it blocks the ports on the phone, yes it does.....but thats why the little black things at the top and bottom move. You just have to slide them a little more toward the middle of the phone and you're good to go! Cables will fit in the headphone hack and the charging port after adjusting it which is VERY easy to do. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a holder that will not fall of your windshield while driving sending your phone flying into your dash and possibly breaking the glass. Arkon did a great job with this product!
This product is great! The suction cup is very strong and does not come loose from the windshield. The "legs" that hold the phone in the device slide left/right to avoid buttons. At first the positioning of the legs was such that it would push in the iPhone power switch and it kept activating the "Slide to power off" screen. By sliding the leg the situation was remedied! This device also fits my girlfriend's HTC Droid Incredible perfectly! The device is spring loaded and adjusts to the height of the phone. I'm pretty confident most new smart phones would fit great in here. It's very easy to adjust the angle and switch a phone from portrait to landscape. - Mount - Car Mount - Ipod Car Mount - Iphone Mount
