This phone mount sticks to my slightly curved textured dash, and it's installed at a slightly tilted angle. So far, it seems very snugly connected even in the hot sun. It adjusts in so many ways that it can work for many situations"”dash that's further out, probably even the windshield. I've owned several of these and this one has been the most versatile. It also adjusts for a taller phone. I would have loved the bottom adjuster for taller phone to allow for a little more height in case I want to turn the phone horizontally, but I've had no issues with the phone falling out. The grip is good on the arms, the release is easy to pop the phone out. And best of all, the arms automatically snap closed to grip the phone when the phone is pressed into the back of the holder.

This is an amazing product that everybody should get if they're looking for a phone holder.

This product is quite literally PEAK phone holder and puts every other phone holder down. Putting your phone in and grabbing your phone out is all done swiftly. Whenever you grab your phone out by pressing both sides of the button, your phone falls out into your hands and preps the device for future use. It's pretty much automatic without the flaws of one.

My only negative is that this product has gone UP in price, and I mean UP. I think this specific one is going up to $20+?. I have this exact model and it's been going strong for like two years now, but I bought mine for roughly 15-17$. This product is definitely not worth 20$ or anything over that. To be Frank NOTHING is worth that much.

This product is amazing and I'm not trying to discredit it but sometimes certain things, no matter how well made, don't deserve a hefty price tag. 100000% wait for a sale or look for an unused one somewhere. This product is a buy once and cry never.

Have been using this for about a month and am pretty happy with it thus far. Bought iOttie based on good reviews of their phone mounts by Wirecutter.

So this mount, even with the arm fully extended, didn't have the length necessary to attach low on my vehicle's windshield where it could keep my phone easily visible without blocking my view (needs to be several inches longer to be a feasible windshield mount for my car) and reviews had me worried it wouldn't stick to the textured and curved dashboard. HOWEVER, there's a smooth, flat-ish plastic area on the dash just in front of the display (and extends a bit to the right of the display) that turned out to be the perfect mounting spot! The suction cup by itself attached SUPER securely to that area - no adhesive pad needed, and no worries about damaging the dash with adhesive - and with the arm fully extended, the placement puts my phone in just about the perfect spot. Very happy it worked out! Not sure if other vehicles have a similar flat-ish smooth plastic area.

In terms of functionality, the mount holds my iphone very securely and seems high quality. Do not see any flimsy parts like foam or the like that could break down quickly.

One star off because:

1) The info is misleading in that the arm itself does not extend 8", it's only 6.75". Eight inches refers to the total length from where the unit is suctioned to the where the phone sits.

2) The spring action that powers the sides of the mount to snap onto the sides of the phone when its inserted is kinda harsh and with a newer phone I'd worry about potential damage to the phone. Not a huge deal because with two hands and slightly more effort that mechanism can be avoided, but would've been nice if it was a bit gentler.

Overall def recommend.

My 2013 VW GTI does not have nav, Apple CarPlay, etc. it also does not have any ideal surface for mounting or setting a smart phone. This device is the perfect solution! I now feel like I have CarPlay since I can easily control my phone without taking my eyes off the road for more than a second. I bought the holder primarily to have a more visible way of using my phone for nav, but also find it's now easier to play music via Bluetooth, send messages via voice commands, etc. CDs can still be played with no problem. My only critique is that the rig does shake some (my reason for 4 stars instead of 5) but not enough that it's a visual problem, and it doesn't make a noise. The phone is held securely, and the design allows a phone of any size, as long as it fits within the max width of the holder. I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro.

I've driven about 2000 miles since I I stalled this on my windshield and I haven't had a single issue. I've spent a considerable amount of time in Arizona with 110+ degree temperatures and the suction cup has handled it perfectly. I haven't experienced any winter temperatures yet so if anything changes I'll come back and edit my review, but so far so good. The only thing I've noticed is that the constant vibrations of the road can slightly loosen some of the joints, but it's super easy to just twist them to tighten them if you're noticing any slippage. It's held my phone perfectly and kept it exactly where I want it. This is an excellent product for doing exactly what I need! Plus, all the joints and adjustability makes it perfect for any car.
