In the car, I've always just tossed my phone into a cupholder and picked it up if I needed to do something with it. This worked fine, but it meant I couldn't use the cupholder, and it wasn't very convenient if I was using my phone as a GPS. So I decided to give this phone holder a try. I noticed that it was made by the same company that made my earbuds, which I've been happy with, so I trusted that it would be made well. Overall, this does the trick. It keeps my phone up on my dash, which makes it easier to glance at while keeping my eyes on the road. It's really easy to get my phone in and out of the holder, too. I just drop my phone in and squeeze the sides of the holder; this "grips" my phone and securely holds it in place. I haven't had any problems with it falling out or coming loose. To take my phone out, I just push a button and the grip gently releases. It's reliable, secure, and fulfills its intended function. There are some things that could make it better, but it's hard to expect these "extras" at the price I paid; this was a basic, budget-friendly solution. But in a more expensive unit, I would like to see something that allows for easier re-orientation. As it is, my phone is in the portrait orientation. I can switch it to landscape, but it requires two hands and a fair amount of effort re-align everything. I'd love to see a "switch orientation" button or something that makes it easier to toggle between these two perspectives on-the-fly. But for the price I paid, I really can't complain. Overall, this is a nice product, and a great value considering it's relatively low price point.

I've had this mount for a few days, and so far it seems to work really well!! It came fully assembled (the instructions guide you through assembling the mount, but it was already done). Installation was MUCH easier than my previous two mounts. With the single clamp, it seems to hold well enough. The phone doesn't move that much when it's in the mount, which is nice. I'm always a little worried about my phone falling out of something like this, but it does seem to hold well (I usually give it that little extra squeeze to get one extra click out of the arms that hold it in). I love the button release, and how it moves the arms open (my previous ones had more of a manual operation to open the arms to release the phone). Finally, I like how it's quiet! My last couple of mounts had so many moving parts, that over time, it would start to rattle, and I dislike rattling sounds when I'm driving my quite car!! I liked this mount so much that I also bought on for my father, and he found it simple to use as well! Great little mount. Will see how it holds up to the cold winters that we have (and I'm talking cold, ell below zero for few weeks cold)!

The XDesign Air Vent Car Mount arrived in good condition, packaged in a typical paper box and a plastic bag. Operation is intuitive -- you attach the holder to an air vent in a car, open the wing-type side grips by pushing a button on the lower back, lay the phone in position, then close the wings to the desired tightness. The design appearance is attractive and gives a good impression of the product. Both the gripping wings and the air vent grip have elastomer (neoprene?) pads, as does the holder surface against which the phone rests, and these seem to be well mounted and the appropriate thickness and hardness. The holder attached easily and securely to the air vent, locking down with a little lever. You can lock it tighter or looser by folding the lever down to the right or to the left, depending on air vent thickness. A 360º ball joint on the holder allows you to adjust the angle of the phone. If you need to loosen or tighten the collar for this joint, it's easier to do before mounting it to the vent, although when locked with a responsible tightness, you can still adjust the position after the holder is mounted. When I first pressed the release button for the gripping wings (in my house), they opened smoothly fully in about a second. However, when I got in my car the next morning (temperature around 30 degrees F) and pressed the release button, I thought it was broken because nothing happened and I couldn't put the phone in. A little experimentation showed that it's just much slower to open at cold temperatures. You have to hold the release button down until the wings open enough to fit the phone. This took about 5-7 seconds at 30 ºF. I suspect it might be even slower or not open at all at colder temperatures. Perhaps the damping or the lubricant could be lightened to make it faster. When I pressed the gripping wings together directly against the phone with my fingers, the grip wasn't tight enough to prevent the phone from coming out easily. But when I pressed tightly at the back corners of the gripping wings, they flexed a bit and held the phone with adequate pressure to keep it in place. The holder includes a notched shelf / broad fingers at the bottom that gives plenty of clearance for any charging cable. Overall, the product seems well-made and fully functional. Issues that I noted are mainly resolved by knowledge of how to make it work well, This product was provided to me at no charge in return for an evaluation.

Super easy to install, make sure you adhere to the instructions and clip it to the lowest vent bar so it has that added support. The feet on it are curved and cup the bottom of your phone, which really helps secure it in the mount. I have an iPhone 11pro with a Speck case and it has a pop socket on the back, so that makes it pretty thick. The side arms are wide enough coming out that I’ve had no issues with it not being secure in the mount. It grips the phone tight and holds it secure. You can Spin the mount horizontally very easily yet it doesn’t feel loose, so doesn’t make you feel like you need to tighten it up all the time. I was worried about the functionality of the button placement being on the bottom in the back. After using it though it’s really not an issue. The mounting sits far enough away from your dash that you can easily get behind it to press the button, just takes getting used to it if you are used to a side release button. Overall this is a great vent clip phone holder. I will definitely purchase again as needed. Maybe even as Christmas presents! Very useful and the design is aesthetically pleasing to the eye which is a bonus to me!

Buen producto, cumple su función.

Easy to assemble and install

Good quality and very durable phone holder

does get a little loose if your driving on country roads

It holds phone and easy to get in and out of cradle. But seems to slowly droop which makes it hard to do phone functions
