Thanks for the quick reply. Can this be mounted on the mirror? I had the similar designed product from Anker which I bought from Dubai, it went sideways after just a week. 😢

It has a high quality smartphone mount, 12V fast charger, charging cable and wire management clips. The quality of materials is top notch and you pay a premium for that. The phone holder has a small footprint and the setup looks tidy. It includes a 3m double sided tape if you want to attach the holder in dashboard or plastic areas where suction wont work.
My trusty TomTom mobile mount served its purpose for almost 4 years & 62K km. However one of the springs which hold the phone had problems which led to a not so secure fit. Finally the suction mount got torn one day due to excessive heat of car parked outside and it was time to get a new one.

iOttie is one of the most popular brands for mobile mount worldwide, and many companies like Zapp made clone of their popular One Touch lineup which one Bhpian is using below.

I asked a friend in US to get one for me

Easy One Touch 4 Dashboard & Windshield Mount


Cellphone Holder-img_4664.jpg

Initial Impressions:

+Good build quality as expected, however tomtom was better
+Dashboard mount pad given in case you want to fix on dashboard
+Its very flexible and you will get the desired position in no time
+One touch phone mounting is a neat feature

-Its more bulky compared with TomTom one. I always prefer compact mounts as they are less of an eyesore and dont block field of view much.
- Due to its long arm there is a little play during bumps, something which was not present in TomTom.

re: Cellphone Holder

I used many cellphone holders with the suction mount assembly. I was never satisfied with its mechanism. Recently I bought a magnetic cell phone holder. It is "Tech Sense Lab Magback Airvent Magnetic Mount".

I must say this is one of the best cell phone holder. The magnet is strong enough that it had no problem securing my phone in place over the pothole-riddled roads. However, you have to paste a small thin metal plate on the back of your phone.

Hi,
There are different sizes of this - medium and large. Are these good for phones bigger than 6 inch with case?
Thanks,
Roy

re: Cellphone Holder

After trying our a zillion different holders, this is the one I am most happy with. No shakes holds up very well on rough roads. The CD slot was never used, it finally has a purpose in life

re: Cellphone Holder

Any recommendations for a Qi charger phone holder?

I prefer dash mount - no CD slot & don't like sacrificing vents

I like the iOttie but it is very expensive imported

I use a Samsung Note 9

re: Cellphone Holder

Had ordered these from Aliexpress :

Tendway Car Phone Holder Dashboard Mount Universal Cradle Cellphone Clip

Initially, it was suppose to be a dashboard mount, on top of the Speedometer console (as given in the website pics). However, due to the curvature of plastic and glass, it was coming off very easily.

Picking my jugaadu brain, I've placed it on the Sun-visor, and it's a perfect fit. I was apprehensive about visibility, but it's one of the most convenient position! A slight glance at the top of your head is enough to see the screen, and controlling audio from the phone is also highly convenient.

Another advantage is that, all co-passengers, front or rear can view the screen ( and this minimizes the questions about "aur kitni der?"/"theek jaa rahe ho?" :P

re: Cellphone Holder

Came across this while browsing.

CQLEK® Mobile Phone Holder for Car Rear View Mirror - (New Generation Upgraded Car Model) Anti Shake Fall Prevention | Full Rotation | with Anti-Vibration Pads Stand | Universal Adjustable Car Mount Holder Supports Up to 6.5 inch Mobiles (Black) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07PM4F28C/..._fLrWCbB1W9X8J

The idea seems better than the suction ones. I'll try and see how it goes.

Not even a single negative feedback at Amazon. Please do share your observations post extended usage. Since this has an unconventional mount pattern, is there any viewing obstruction felt, specially for tight corners?

In my view, this creates hindrance for visibility. Probably, driver notices additional blind spot when he tries to takes left turn. My personal view only based on observation of the images. Have not experienced personally

If usage really is as illustrated on Amazon, I'd say that this product is dangerous.

This is true in all the cars.

For me, while driving, the best place to keep mobile is at home. If this is not feasible, it is in the wife's hand bag. Seriously, I never take calls while on drive. Whatever may be the urgency, it can wait as compared to life of passengers / people on road.

We can drive peacefully without disturbance and enjoy the drive 100% with the above arrangement

re: Cellphone Holder

My mobile holder is not for calls! It is for Google maps.

If I have to take a call when driving, I either stop, or maybe the Bluetooth is working (haha it sometimes does). The phone will be in my pocket.

re: Cellphone Holder

I'm using this alligator claw from Spigen, for my 'X'. My 'X' also has a Spigen case. Takes in any size and it's the best thing around.
