Dash Crab Duet - Car Mount Universal Cell Phone Holder, Height Adjustable Smart Grip, Dashboard Windshield Car Mount for iPhone X 8 7 6s Plus Samsung Galaxy S7 S6 Edge Note 5 4 -Retail Pack(Black)

This is an intelligently designed product. First, it's extremely easy to install. It will stick firmly on either the windshield or on top of the dashboard with a single push of the lever in the back that recesses flush with the adjacent surface. I was concerned about one hand operation to snap in the phone and adjust the position and this was not an issue. The clip was securely fastened and did not come off after several pulls and tugs. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at the universal pivot in addition to the ability to rotate and slide vertically. There is no limit to the positions you can have to get the perfect viewing angle.I can see that this is made with high quality materials. I looked at several models at Walmart and Target, and they are all made flimsy in China. This one is made in Korea, and as an engineer, I trust Korean made product. The phone was held securely; there's no way my iPhone is going to come loose. Going over Chicago's winter pot holes on the street didn't even make this thing flinch. I can see who's calling now without looking away from the traffic without worrying about constantly adjusting. And no more putting my phone in the cup holder!

It is an OK item. Thought Dash Crab would be much better based on the reviews but it is after all a gel suction cup holder.Under the sun this holder just falls. Holding mechanism is good so I've decided to keep using it instead of trash it.Although Dash Crab indicated 'one touch' still require user's two hands interaction during phone attach process andthis will eventually shakes the Duet unit weakening the gel holding power.< Caution : below method will ruin the gel suction part of the Duet >I bought all weather safe Velcro type fastener and outdoor weather resistant super-glue.1. Apply glue to the Duet's gel area and hold together with fastener 1 of 2 --- dry it over night2. Apply other 2 of 2 fastener to the dashboard - this time NO glue- gently press down the fastener to the dashboard surface.3. Press down part 1 to part 2 from above. Done.Now I'm happy with super sturdy Duet holder on the dashboard which can withstand high temperature & strong sun rays.

This is my fourth or fifth car mount, and I was hesitant to spend this much money, but I was tired of them failing after a few months. I do use it just about every day, so it's not like I wasn't getting my money's worth on the $5 ones, it was just annoying. After reading the nearly unanimous great reviews, I decided to take a chance and I am so glad I did. This thing is AWESOME. And still going strong after several months of everyday use. Easy to install and easy to use -- I've even transferred it between cars a couple of times with no loss of suction or stickiness. I have had a couple of times where when I first installed it, it would pop back off a couple of minutes later, but given how well it holds when it's installed right, I'm sure that's user error and not an issue with the mount.

I just want to start off with the fact that this product is fantastic, simple and fantastic. The blue in the picture does not give the actual product justice. The aesthetics of the blue on the phone holder is quite stunning and looks great on my dashboard. The entire product is adjustable, so you can move it any way you would like. The vertical adjust has several notches so it clicks in place, which means it will slide as you drive. The part that grabs your phone has a very strong spring, which allows it to tightly grasp your phone without damaging it with it's soft clasps. The clasps actually are on a ballpoint joint, which gives it a 360° turning radius; this is also adjustable with one hand, so you can turn it even when you are driving. Overall, this product is very easy to use and of high quality, especially for its price.

Looks nice. The two prongs that actually hold the device are just springloaded. It makes getting the device in and out rather easy but feels rather cheap (my other holders ratchet with a quick release button). The actual material of the device feels nice. It holds onto a horizontal part of my dash very well. The base is just a little sticky but not to the point where you'd be scared that it will leave a mark upon removal. Once you click the clamp down it is absolutely solid. The device does not wiggle around even on bumpy roads.

I agree with another reviewer, this looses some of its grip in hot weather but, I disagree that its all that bad. I have a textured and curved dashboard (no flat spots) and this has popped off once before but, there was quite a bit a pressure applied as I was trying to force the phone in using only one hand. When, you use two hands to put the phone in (to create a wide enough opening) it works and stays put quite well. Bottom line you can't expect something to work much better than this unless it was bolted down.It also holds my iPhone 6 plus quite nicely and the pivoting and turning works well.Update: I take back what I said. It was all that bad. This does not stick to my dash in hot weather and when going around curves would often cause it and my 6s Plus to go flying through the air and slamming into the inside of the car.

This is definitely the best phone holder I have used and I have used quite a few. The suction cup is very high quality, I even have it suctioned on to a flat vertical plastic part right below my dash/radio (I don't like it up on top of my dash at night, too visible) and it stays on and has never fallen off even when it suctioned on to plastic, and to a vertical surface.The one handed operation works great too because the holder part has enough friction to hold a phone in, but it has less friction than the other joints, so the other joints will stay in place while you put the phone in.highly recommended.
