iOttie Easy One Touch Classic Dash & Windshield Universal Car Mount Phone Holder Desk Stand for iPhone, Samsung, LG, Moto and other Smartphones

Great mount!
I normally have hated these phone mounts, particularly universal ones. They fall off. They don’t hold the phone well. They look bad.I’ve gone with Rokform mounts for years, and even an Android Auto headunit just so I can use Google Maps to navigate without a phone mount like this.But my wife’s car simply has nowhere good for a Rokform magnet, and the headunit is integral so I can’t replace it. I needed a way to mount her Note 8 phone (it’s a huge phone, fairly heavy and awkward in its wallet case) in her 2015 CRV. I found a few places mentioned iOttie on discussion forums, to the point where I suspected it was spam, but I went ahead and bought one. It’s not spam. This is a terrific mount.In the CRV, there’s a space on the dashboard next to one of the screens that works perfectly for this mount, but in almost any car, you could use the dashboard instead of the window. This is because iOttie ships a plastic disc with the mount (like old nicer GPS units used to include). It affixes with high quality automotive tape, the kind that generally doesn’t leave a mark on the dashboard. Dashboard mount is superior to window mount because any tiny budge will not tear the unit away from suction over time. It’s working with gravity, not against it. You can mount it to a window, and the suction cup is sticky and strong, but dash is the way to go if you can.The phone’s case extends beyond the phone, but the mount had no problem at all holding the phone steady. You press the two long buttons while putting the phone in place, and let go, and it just grips it in place. Removing the phone is just as elegant. I really am pleased with it.I drove across the state for the recent holidays and used this mount, and it was excellent. I normally drive my car with a nice Android Auto headunit, but this was really just as good (and I recommend that Android Auto app for driving… it’s safer and easy to use without touching the phone).The mount articulates in many ways, even out towards the driver, and it feels very well made. It’s worth the inexpensive price easily.

Incredibly helpful and reliable
I got this for my mom and she loves it! It works great–I don’t have to stress about her messing with a phone while driving anymore because it’s right there, you hardly have to take your eyes off the road. Its grip is strong but still very easy to remove the phone and it’s simple to set up if you read the instructions. I thought it might have problems suctioning to the curved dashboard surface, but it worked fine. Prevents her from dropping and losing it too, though sometimes I have to remind her that the phone is in the holder (like losing glasses on her head lol). Overall fantastic purchase, though I haven’t tried other car phone holders, but this one is a safe bet in my opinion and she’s had it for several months now with it working just like new. I was a little apprehensive of it being rickety or wobbly but it’s solid, good-quality stuff.Edit: As soon as hot weather came around, the sticky part that adheres to the dashboard surface began melting and sliding off, rendering it completely unusable. Very annoying waste of money which created a sticky mess for several weeks! I bought a new one from the brand on here called “ANIOPE” which works much better as it mounts by securely screwing onto the air vent and as an added bonus is half the price (just sayin)
