TaoTronics Car Phone Mount Holder, Windshield / Dashboard Universal Car Mobile Phone cradle for iOS / Android Smartphone and More

I purchased this holder a while back. It worked great. The contraption which holds the phone in place is awesome (it's not going to fall out). The device is adjustable and everything seemed to work fine for a few months.Then, out of the blue, the plastic part which attaches directly to the suction cup broke. I tried superglue and everything else I could think of to make it work again. Unfortunately, the piece is in difficult location and due to the strength of the suction cup - impossible to glue/epoxy without breaking it again (when trying to slide the cup back on.Ever since, it has sat in a place of honor on my shelf. Every once in a while I'll take it down and try to fix it again. I haven't replaced it since I liked it so much. I just mourn over it.If you buy this product, please take extra care when releasing the suction cup. What I experienced may be a fluke. All I know is that I thoroughly enjoyed the device until it broke.

I hate to leave a bad review for this product, because at first it worked really well. The suction cup is strong and if you clean the window and mount it properly, it really stays where you put it! The jaws that hold it run on a relatively delicate gear mechanism inside, but if you are careful with opening and especially closing/squeezing it shut, that part is fine too.Unfortunately, and this has happened now for two of these, eventually the suction cup part breaks away from the rest of the unit after it has been mounted for some time. I even took care to mount it in such a way that the suction cup itself is not bearing all of the weight of my phone, but rather that the lower edge sat on the dashboard in order to bear the load.This happened in my wife's car first. I had not had this problem with mine, so I figured that it was an anomaly, and I purchased another for her (the third one that I've bought overall). A few months later, this same exact thing happened to mine as well. I expect that her new/replacement one will eventually fail in the same manner.UPDATE June 20, 2018: after I submitted this review, the seller contacted me and sent me a replacement. That is good customer service, I admit. It appears to be the same so I don't know if it will be different in the long run, but I do appreciate their customer service and them proactively replacing the broken one.

installed successfully on the dash of a '93 Jeep Wrangler that has a slight texture...stays put, holds phone well, very pleased w/ it's performance. I cannot plug my power cord or headphone/aux accessory cords in while using the flip-down shelf due to the protective case shifts it just enough to not align (iphone 5s). The unit holds the phone securely enough that the shelf isn't needed even in the rough ride of the Jeep. The holder has been installed on my dash for 2wks and is holding well. I will buy another for my Tacoma.

This is my second time purchasing this phone mount. Given the price, it's totally worth it! Take advantage of the button on the side of the mount that expands the grippers very wide. I kept forcing my phone in (the bulk of my Droid Z force with a battery on it is not the easiest to "grip," which caused one of the arms to snap-- it took at least 6 months for that to happen though, with daily use). If you continue pressing the button, the arms will expand further out. Total operator error on my part.What prompted me to take the time to write this review was that I received an e-mail from TaoTronics sharing with me "Common Q&As" and inviting me to contact the company if I have any problems with my phone mount. To me, even that offer of customer service is getting rarer these days. I see many reviews on Amazon where people express frustration in trying to reach a company.My dash is not terribly smooth, so being able to have a windshield mount was really nice. The ability to angle the head piece into almost any position is great as well.Below is the "Common QandAs" that TaoTronics included in the email. I would suggest following the answers, as they are relevant. I would buy this again (for the 3rd time).1. The stickiness was lost after a period of using;Pls wash the suction with warm soap water and keep the place you want to install the car mount clean, then try again whether it can stick well. Generally it will restore stickiness after doing that. If it still cannot work well, pls get back to us for help.2. The holder part falls off easily from the base;Make sure the holder was installed to the neck of the mount tight enough. If the problem could not be solved, pls get back to us for help.

I have this piece over two years. It is a very good product. Strongly holds on window shield, and very convenient to use.couple months ago, I notice that the gel melted because it is really too hot in CA. I never take it off from the window shield.Honestly melting of gel is not the problem of the product. one should take it off from the window shield after usage.I contacted the seller. Honestly it has been two years. No warranty can cover that. The seller sent me a new replacement without charge.Anyway I strongly recommend this product. Also I suggest not keeping it on the window shield in hot summer.

Holder gets loose with in 2-3 days, have to adjust position frequently.Most importantly regular iPhone fits very loose. Iphone is small for this holder.

I can recommend the TaoTronics Car Phone Holder Windshield of Dashboard as it worked for me. I switched to the Samsung holder which is a bit better.

it's not durable. it broke with few months of use.....

Very good quality and stick to the glass perfectly even in the hot sun.

not good; its not getting stick on the windscreen and on the dashboard, falling down always.
