It all began back in 2010. Smartphones were just starting to take off and navigation apps were becoming a part of everyday life. The concept was simple, but innovative: design a product that makes navigating on your smartphone while driving safer and easier. From this novel idea came a line of best-selling car mounts.
What makes our products unique?
All of our products are designed from the ground up by our team of engineers in New York City. By treating each new product as a work of art, we hope to change the way people interact with and feel about tech accessories.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was super hesitant, but I decided to give this "revised" version a shot since I really liked the mount before it broke.
I will say, it appears they have fixed the issue with the original mount. I have been using this for a couple weeks now and the arms haven't broken. I'm still super skeptical because the retaining hook on the arm is still plastic...so I'll update this review as time goes on to see if it still stacks up. I think they beefed up that hook a little bit more and also shortened the overall width of the arms(not sure about that, but it seems so).
Still, this mount deserves credit where it's due:
-Looks nice
-Tons of adjustment options to cater to whatever position you want your device in
-Easy to use: the push button back is ingenious and works excellently as well as the push button wings that allow for easy and fast removal. Seriously, this mount is the quickest and easiest one to use that I've ever come across. It requires minimal effort and is pretty much "brainless" to use.
-The dash pad is excellent. Doesn't leave the "ring" on removal and, based on my last return, it's stuck on there really really well. The suction cup on the mount is also super sticky and adhering. Zero movement and it's been stuck exactly where I placed it a couple weeks ago.
There really are no cons that I can think of yet. The only thing is, based of my previous experience, I'm still weary of the longevity of the plastic hook that attaches to the spring on the arms of this mount. I won't take a star off for that, however, since it appears to have been fixed.
I definitely will do a follow up after a few months to report in on how it's holding up.
I initially used it with the extra sticky under pad, which oddly enough caused the thing to adhere less well to my dash. Now mind you I have a very heavy phone, a Nexus 6 (about the same as an iPhone 6 weight/size-wise), and I had the horizontal extender on this unit extended all of the way out, which increased the leverage (or moment, as I think engineers call it), causing the base to loose adhesion during hot days.
I ended up backing down the extension, moving the phone to a less ideal, but still OK location, and attaching it directly to the dash instead of using the gummy pad. It has been there for nine months, and held pretty well (I think I had to reattach it once)
I really like the one-handed insert/release operations for this. When you insert the phone in to the cradle, you press the phone into the back of the cradle so that you are causing the big "button" in the center of the cradle to be pushed. When the phone is well-seated this way, that big button causes the clip fingers on both sides to snap inward and grab the phone. Releasing it is just as easy and natural. When you reach for the phone, you grab the phone, but make sure your thumb and fingers go slightly past the edges and wrap around the back of the phone, your thumb and finger tips naturally find and press (or squeeze really) two other buttons which cause the clip fingers to spread, click into their open position and let the phone go.
I'm making it sound much more complicated than it really is, and having had other phone cradles which require both hands, one to hold the phone, the other to make the mechanism release, this is SO much better! In fact, I was going to give this a 4 because of the adhesion problem, but I realize the elegance and robustness of this mechanism is just superb, and deserves the full five.
I usually try the cheapest cradles, and end up with cheaply built junk that works, but that eventually break, a false economy I now realize. I think this cradle will still be working ten years from now.
I would say the one ding one might have with this is that in a small car, this is pretty big and inelegant looking, but thats what you get when you want to "have it all", which was what my requirement list entailed. It has to be big to manage a monster phone like mine, it has to have that extension mechanism etc.

Meine Halterungen montiere ich links vorne an der Frontscheibe, da dies für mich am praktischsten und nicht störend im Sichtfeld ist. Ich hatte schon viele verschiedene Modelle, die nach einiger Zeit (oder schon früher) nachgegeben haben und einfach von der Scheibe gefallen sind. Einige Halterungen mögen es nicht gerne kalt, besonders wenn man dann ins Auto steigt, die Heizung einschaltet und sein Smartphone in die Halterung stecken will, geben viele schon auf und plumpsen hinunter. Ein erneutes Montieren ist dann so gut wie unmöglich, auch wenn die Scheibe geputzt und von Feuchtigkeit befreit wurde.
So, nun zum Artikel, um den es hier eigentlich gehen soll!
Schon beim auspacken war ich erstaunt, wie wertig die Halterung verarbeitet ist, bei jedem Detail hat sich jemand überlegt, wie man es robust gestalten kann. Die Halterung ist sehr flexibel und bietet viele Verstell-Möglichkeiten. Die Feststellschrauben und Gelenke sind mit Gummi gedämpft, damit nichts scheppert und klappert, wenn alles Montiert ist und sich das Auto in Bewegung setzt. Auf der Haftfläche ist ein Schutzsticker, der ein Verschmutzen verhindert. Er ist mit dem Hinweis versehen, dass man den Saugnapf einfach abspülen kann, um die ursprüngliche Haftkraft wieder herzustellen, wenn die Halterung nicht mehr gut haften sollte. Dies musste ich aber noch nicht machen.
Nach dem Abziehen des Stickers konnte ich sehen, dass die Oberfläche des Saugnapfes selbst schon gute Klebeeigenschaften hat, also war ich gespannt was mich danach erwartet. Ich habe den Arm und die Halterung angepasst, um sie befestigen zu können, dann platzierte ich die Halterung an der Scheibe und betätigte den Hebel des Saugnapfes.
UNGLAUBLICH!
Ich konnte nicht mehr aufhören zu staunen, die Halterung sitzt Bombenfest. Kein Wackeln, kein Rütteln konnte den Saugnapf verschieben oder gar lösen. Da andere Halterungen anfangs noch recht gut haften, blieb ich skeptisch. Doch auch nach Monaten in denen das Auto Kälte, Hitze und Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt war, hat sich die Halterung nicht Ansatzweise zu lösen begonnen. Das nenne ich Spitzenklasse!
Zu guter Letzt meine Meinung zum Haltemechanismus. Dieser ist sehr ausgeklügelt, wieso ist sonst noch niemand auf diese Idee gekommen? Das Smartphone hineinstellen in die Halterung, die Halteklammern "schnappen zu" und schon ist es gut fixiert. Kein Suchen der Befestigungsklemmen mehr nötig, kein Herumwackeln des Smartphones nach dem Einspannen.
Es kann einfach wieder entnommen werden mit den beiden Öffnungstasten, die sich direkt links und rechts hinter den Seiten des Smartphones befinden, und gleich beim Herausnehmen betätigt werden können ohne umgreifen zu müssen. Es ist kein Abtasten der Halterung mehr notwendig, um den Öffnungsmechanismus zu finden.
Die Halterung macht einen sehr soliden Eindruck, nicht nur während der Fahrt sitzt alles perfekt, es klappert nichts.
Von mir gibt es eine deutliche Kaufempfehlung für Personen, die auf der Suche nach einer Handyhalterung mit extrem gutem Halt auf der Windschutzscheibe sind (Es gibt auch ein Pad, um den Saugnapf auf dem Amaturenbrett zu befestigen, dieses habe ich aber nicht getestet), und das Smartphone einfach und schnell hinein und wieder aus der Halterung nehmen wollen.
I have used this with my phone and driven on Bengaluru's pot holed almost roads and not a single time the phone fell.
La facilità di inserimento e rimozione del telefono poi è di una comodità unica, specialmente con telefoni di dimensioni ragguardevoli (tipo iPhone 6/7/8 Plus), dove il più delle volte la forza per allargare la morsa è sufficiente a staccare il supporto dalla consolle di guida.
Il prezzo è un po' più elevato della media, ma la qualità è impareggiabile.
