Better than others and costs way less
Work extremely well if you want phone at vent level.These work much better than on dash and on windows holders.Cup phones make no sense to me.

Falls out, often.
It has a switch to clamp it down, but it isn’t enough…Hit a bump, falls out. Accelerate into traffic, flies out. I tried making it grip harder by wrapping the pads with gorilla tape: Fell out quicker.

slips
For the price it works ..but slips downwards after time need to tighten .. also never think of the fact it covers most of that piece of vent where attatched For the money it works with some adjustments ..

Easy to use. Works well.
This is a great little cell phone holder. It stays in the vent as ling as you clip it in all the way. Easy to install. The reason for 4 stars not 5 is that it would be nice if the arms holding the phone were a little longer to really secure a cell with a popsocket. It works but 2 cm linger would be better.

Workable
I bought this for my exercise bike. I wanted something to hold my phone so I could either watch a video or read while riding. The bike doesn’t have a suitable holder itself, but does have vents for a fan I don’t use so thought this would be a good option. Overall, it does work but it could be better. There is a delicate balance where it will hold the phone upright. A little off, and it just falls forward. It needs a better adjustment capability so the phone holds position.

Inexpensive and Works Well
It’s inexpensive and works well! I had a similar vent phone holder from Target that wouldn’t stay clipped on but this stays clipped and is secure. It’s easy to use.

Easy to use
It clips on easy to my vent and stays in place. It’s really hard finding a phone holder that doesn’t seem like it has fake reviews but I really like this. The only thing you have to keep in mind is to press the button in the back to release the phone; might be just be forgetting lol but definitely recommend

This phone holder mounts very easily and feels very secure in my AC vent. It’s easy to lock the phone onto the holder and very easy to release it. I am very happy with this product.

Just what I wanted, until…
Simple to put together, install, and use.There is one point in the instructions that could have been clearer (they don’t really show that you need to *push* the ball into the main body until it clicks) (if you don’t, the ball won’t fit and will seem to slide out of the assembly), but it only took me a minute to figure that out.Sturdy, fits well (please note that that are two different tightness settings on the clamp that attaches to your vent, so one will probably work better than the other, depending on the thickness of your louvers), rotates readily to horizontal or vertical. Clamps on the side hold the phone in place with a gentle push; an easily accessible button on the back pops it open to release the phone. Can’t beat it, especially for the price.Edited to add: I changed my rating from five stars to three. Most of the things above are true, but: It was great the first several months but then, after only using it for 6(?) months, once or twice a week, it suddenly started coming loose and falling off the louvers. It doesn’t unclamp, it simply comes loose from the louver and hangs down or falls off. Not very convenient when you’re driving. I can open the clamp, put it back on the louver, and tighten it again, and it’s good for a week or so, then it happens again. Considering I only use it a few times a week, for me that makes it very unreliable. Will replace it with something else ASAP.

Great item
This phone holder has been great. I have actually used it with multiple phones in multiple different cases and it adjusts easily and easily. I have also been driving quite a bit including a couple of 8+ hour trips and the phone holder has been perfect for me. The space leaving the ability to charge my phone while in the holder has been perfect also. I would recommend taking the time to adjust and set up the holder before using it the first time. I readjusted it twice in the beginning but once I got it where I wanted it there has been no issues.

This product is sturdy and steady and rotates easily. However, the button on the bottom to release it is frustrating. The button needed to be on top to release it.

Tends to fall off of my vent
I read a lot of reviews before I purchased this, and although it’s easy to install, it often distracts me while I’m driving when it suddenly falls off the vent and my phone drops to the floor of my car. It seems to walk forward probably from the vibrations of the car or the vent. I may have to add something sticky to help it grip onto the vent.

You get what you pay for!
I liked this device when it arrived – it seemed sturdy and adjustable. The price was right, it fit my iPhone and plugged right into the vent. BUT – As time went on, I no longer use it. It constantly looses and falls out out the vent while I’m driving and is more of a headache then anything. I don’t need my phone, while clicked into this device, flying across my car mid drive.

I do not recommend this product.
It slips off the vent over time then completely falls off while I am driving. It works fine and I’ve learned to adjust it periodically so it falls less. Overall I would suggest getting a different product.

Yourself, sturdy phone holder why are you?
Dose what it’s meant for. Holds the phone tightly in place. What’s really nice that I have not seen on any other phone holder is a kinda ratcheting lever that you push down and it tightens the clamps onto your car vents. Unlike most cars you have a bolt or nut that you have to tighten. It’s something small but it’s very innovative with you and just for that I would purchase this phone holder. Great JOB AMAZON.

The phone holder we all need
This is literally the only phone holder I’ll use in my car. Every other phone holder I’ve tried would keep falling down, wouldn’t be sturdy enough to hold a phone, etc. This one barely moves, even when driving, keeping my phone still and sturdy. I rarely have to worry about it falling down off the vents and it’s easy to get my phone in and out of the holder. I’ll never waste money on anything else again.

Functions much as it should
I clipped this to my air vent (on a 2014 Nissan Sentra), but the clip wasn’t too secure – didn’t grip too well and it was wobbly (fell of a couple of times. However, I slipped in a thin piece of plastic (trimmed from a bread tag!) as a shim and all was well. Placing and removing my phone was easy and the cords were not impeded. Good value for the money, overall.

Fall off easily
The weight of the mount plus a phone cannot be supported by a vent with so it is constantly drooping down. I dad it fall of the vent 3 time in a 10 minute span. It is not strong enough to operate effectively for long term. I got it so could see my GPS while but under most circumstances the vent is constantly pointing down making it harder to see.

It is basic and it’s just okay
It’s not what I needed. My steering wheel blocks The view so I believe I need a different type of phone holder for the car. Make sure where you’re putting the holder is not going to interfere with view of your phone.

Here goes..
I basically love the item. It is easy to use. The downside side is I had ordered another phone holder that never arrived because the carrier took it to the wrong apt which was empty and when I arrived there, someone had already stolen it. Then I ordered this one and again the carrier took it to a wrong apt, forcing me to go door to door until I found it. What I went through gave me trust issues. Amazon needs to do better than this.

Solves the loose-phone-in-car problem
I’ve been using this effectively for many months. It holds the phone in the right position. The mounting slot for the phone and the clamp on the back of the product are both plenty sturdy and work fine. The only caveat is that the bottom blade of my center AC vent is not the most solid thing to be clamped to, so care is required!

There’s only one setting for it to close
This works pretty well, but there’s only one setting for it to tighten on my vent, which means that when it the little clasp closes, and it doesn’t fit tightly enough to fit on your vent, there’s nothing you can do because there’s no way to make it tighter. It’s fallen off a few times while I was driving so beware.

Fantastic and affordable.
Outstanding tool and very affordable. I drive a Volvo and could not use the Weather-Tech cup holder type because of how my gear stick is configured. I was thrilled to discover that this is so much better. Our built-in GPS is so high tech that I detest dealing with it. I use Google Maps, and now my phone rest at a perfect angle and I’m not dangerous. Also, I live in GA where it’s against the law to drive with the phone to your ear. I can’t stand dealing with Blue Tooth in the car coming thru the steering wheel. My iphone6 has a tight fitting decorative rubber case, but that’s no problem. This devise is adjustable. It closes against the sides of my phone, and it’s easy to release via a small easy to access button on the back. It’s awesome. Go for it!

Practical and Easy!
At first, I was confused how to attach the plug to the back fo the phone holder. I realized that if I removed the screw first, it would be easier to attach the plug, and my hunch proved to be correct.Also, I wasn’t sure if it would have fit my phone at all, but on the back there is a small button that you hold down to extend the phone holder’s arms. You can push them back inwards to adjust to your phone’s width. Last but not least, it was a bit difficult to set it onto my car’s vent, but once it was on, there was no danger of it falling off. I just got the product today, but I sense that I will not be disappointed.

The clasp isn’t totally secure
Perhaps it is my air vents that cause the problem. No matter how hard I try, the clasp isn’t completely secure and the holder slips off. Having said that, I have purchased several different car vent phone holders and this is the one I like more than any other. The best feature is the button in the back that expands the holder for easy phone removal. Kudos to the person who came up with this idea! I purchased two at the same time thinking this would break as quickly as other holder brands have broken. So far, so great!

Durability Issue
This lasted about 7 months before the clip no longer worked. It no long tight enough to fit on the when locked in with phone and fell out after this time period. Disappointed in the quality of this product.

I love it but there’s a few things…
It was super easy to install, however the clip that clips to the air vent seems to get a little stretched out and once or twice the whole thing has flown off at a harder than usual stop.I also wish it was a more open back to allow for air flow from the AC, my phone overheated a few times during the summer.Sometimes my phone (iPhone 11) just itself flies out of the holder which has to do with the arms that hold the phone. They close easily but maybe if the arms were lined with a more grippy rubber type material.Overall really good other than a few small things. I also drive up to five hours a day so it’s had plenty of time to be put to the test.
