December 30, 2011Works well but beware of the size of your vent,
My friend had this bracket device and I wanted to get it because I liked the fact that you would place it on a vent and not have it distracting you from the road if you had a mount that was a suction cup on the windshield. As for the fit on the phone, I have an HTC Incredible and had no problems with fit.
Now for the cons – I’m using this in a Honda Civic and the front vents are too small to use this product. I have also verified that these would not fit on the front vent of Lexus and Mercedes. One solution is to have this on the driver’s side vent, which is useful because I don’t remember ever really getting any benefit out it. Of course, then it is difficult to stretch any a/c power.
So in summary, good product, but there are some pros and cons associated with it. I’m still happy with my purchase though!

December 30, 2011Very good product, excellent customer service,
This complex device holder worked fine for a few months. One day I secured my iPod in the holder and the iPod fell out as I started driving. I put it back in a couple more times; when it quickly fell out each time, I realized that the holder was listing to one side. I tried adjusting it upward but it was already pointing all the way up. Then I noticed that one of the two air vent grippers was no longer gripping the vent. Upon inspection I found that the outer vent clip, along with its spring, had vanished. They’re nowhere to be found in the car; I think it’s likely that they’re now inside the air duct. The clip piece must have broken since it would otherwise have stayed on the arm’s track. The device holder is completely useless now.
UPDATE: I called the company. They said to go to their website and look toward the bottom of the main page for the link to order replacement bracket springs set for free. It’s […]. The link is in red and is fairly easy to find. Once I sent the email, they actually sent a replacement set via USPS – free! My guess is, I was far from the only one who had this problem. Clearly, the company stands behind their product and is committed to customer satisfaction and easily resolving problems, so I’ve upgraded my review from three to five stars.

December 30, 2011A truly universal device holder,
Great price and excellent quality. Holds a phone, GPS, satellite radio, etc securely without covering controls or charging ports. Spring clamp hooks to the car’s air vent- screw and adhesive options also included. I opted for this style as I didn’t have to have a bulky case or clip attached to my phone. The whole unit just sits in the car and you pop your device in and go- it is super easy to remove your device too. I love it!
