It Works for Me!
Let me first day that I have tried suction-cup phone holders, and they never stay stuck. Eventually, they fall off, and resticking them again usually results in a quicker fall the second time. I've also tried 'vent clip' holders, which arent stable and extremely fragile to the vent, eventually breaking the vent (which, in my case, cost $157 just for the replacement vent part). I went a year or more without a cell phone holder, trying to find the perfect mount type and location. I didnt want one that would block my view out the windshield, and I preferred one that would not block my view of the navigation display. I finally discovered quite by accident that I have a CD player in my console. Take a look in photo #1 - can you spot the CD player? Since I didnt know I had one, that means I really didnt use it for anything, and so I investigated this phone holder that makes use of the CD slot. I wasnt expecting much, due to my previous experiences with phone holders, but check out my other two photos! This thing is amazing! Sturdy mount. doesn't shake around on bumps. Stays put. Swivels in any direction. Easily readable and reachable. Gear shift knob moves freely under the phone in either landscape or portrait orientation, but your console will likely vary from mine. It's been a month of daily use, and absolutely no problems! The magnet is strong. One reviewer stated that the phone holder came completely out of the slot when he pulled his phone off. and called this product junk as a result. I disagree 1000%. The magnet is strong for a reason, and the easiest way to remove the phone is to slide it off to the right - easy! Dont pull, slide! There is no perfect place to mount a phone in my car...when mounted, my phone hides the climate controls...but I know them by feel, and I can easily remove the phone to make a change if need be. I love this unit! Read more
