The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

on September 23, 2016

Posted by: clintc

This product fails to meet the minimum standards to function as described. First, the good: My iPhone6 attached very securely to the magnetic mount on the bracket with the supplied little metal plates, the plate worked fine just slipped between the phone and it's case with no double-sided tape necessary. Phone can work horizontal or vertical and has some tilt adjustment available. The bad: I was installing this in a 2016 Toyota Sienna that had a vent just about where I would like to see the phone. The weight of the mount plus the phone promptly tilted the vent down to a bad angle. After some adjustments, I was able to prop the little tilting lever on the bracket to rest right on the vent handle and it held precariously in an OK position. The ugly: The critical attachment forks (look at the photo) that connect the bracket to the vent are cheap flimsy plastic that almost look like they have some kind of spring grip - they don't! The second time I tried to delicately push this thing into the vent, one of the fork arms broke off! Most people would likely be trying to attach and detach this mount multiple times, that's not going to happen! Thankfully, Best Buy accepted my return and I can continue my search for a more durable product.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
