" ... Nice charger, sits great with the CD player. ... In 40 minutes( ride to work) the device charges my phone about 3%. ... "
" ... THIS PRODUCT: this charger is also great, had it for a year and use it ever day but never had any problems. ... "
" ... I like that it self closes my iPhone X and maintains a full charge when using Waze. ... I made sure to adjust the bottom feet so the center of the phone matches the proper charging coil. ... "
" ... 2) It would be nice it there were a way to deactivate the charging when the phone is fully charged and getting hot. ... "
" ... Charges my phone fast even while using GPS, works great. ... "
" ... upgraded two or our iOttie 2's (that dont wirelessly charge) with this. ... "
" ... It also charges quite well. ... "
" ... It holds well (even on a contoured and textured dashboard) lots of functional adjustments including extending, and qi charger that works well even through a phone case. ... One exception is that is you use a phone case that holds credit cards in the back, it occasionally won't be able to charger of there is 2 or more cards covering the charging area. ... I have bought two of these chargers even though they're are many cheaper ones out there because this is a brand that has been around and the first one just works. ... "

" ... It is important because if you are off by half an inch (for example, you mounted the phone too low), it will affect significantly the charging rate. ... Once you set the position, you tighten everything and don't need to worry about it anymore. ... When my Samsung Galaxy S7 is placed (it is inside the Speck CandyShell Grip Case), the phone gives message that it is being charged with Fast Wireless Charging - same as when I place on the Samsung genuine fast wireless charger. ... If you have a surface for suction cap, it is probably the best option as it gives you am option to mount on the windshield too. ... "
" ... The mount is sturdy, even with the over sized phones I’ve housed in it (iPhone X and XS Max, both in cases). ... This was the second iOttie car mount I’ve owned, and I will keep coming back to them when I need more. ... "
" ... Huge improvement over prior Iotti mounts, which were good to start with. ... I especially like the removal procedure which automatically “cocks” the holder for the next insertion. ... The mount angilation options are nearly endless. ... "
" ... mount it on the dash in front of a vent. ... Heat will hurt your phone, the vent will deal with it. ... Use the feet provided for the bottom, they help secure your phone, mine hasn't dropped once. ... "
" ... The only small point is that the connection to the vent may be loose if not place properly, but so far I haven't had a problem. ... "
" ... Actually the clips are quite powerful when they close, which would make me nervous if not for the case ... "
" ... I love the mount . ... "
" ... The device feels very secure when clipped into device. ... "

" ... and they all broke within 2 weeks . ... but always break. ... "
" ... 2 of them stopped working after two months, probably due to some loose wiring inside the unit (when you stick the microUSB hard - it works). ... "
" ... Just recently one of the aims broke and now it is completely trashed. ... "
" ... I used for 6 month and one arm is broken already. ... "
" ... After opening Phone holder clamps broke in just week of use on Right side. ... "
" ... However, the arms the hold the phone on the sides break pretty easy. ... The super glue doesn’t even work now. ... "
" ... Had mine for a little over 6 months and it physically broke. ... The clasping mechanism closes very fast as it snaps shut when the phone is placed in the charger. ... There is no damping on this mechanism which means it hits the phone pretty hard. ... Its a thin piece of plastic and rather than box it in to create a stronger joint, they left the back of the ear hollow such that all the force acts upon a single 90 degree joint. ... this is exactly where mine broke. ...

" ... Plus to release the phone is a pain also ... "
" ... Used it for about 5 months and loved it until one day I put my phone in the cradle and as the arms snapped closed onto the phone one of the arms just shattered and flew across the car. ... "
" ... The bad news is that the "ears" that hold the phone in place snap off easily. ... In my use, they aren't convenient to reach, so I end up hold the phone and applying pressure to force the "ears" apart. ... "
" ... It stayed glued to my dashboard for an hour before it fell down. ... "
" ... Edit: Great when it worked but the arm that holds in place broke off after 2 months of daily use. ... "
" ... I used it multiple times a day, so I wasn't surprised that the plastic eventually wore out. ... "

" ... Suction has been great mounted to the windshield without ever faultering. ... "
" ... Comes with an adhesive pad to put the suction cup on too. ... "
" ... The suction cup holds very firmly and even has a sticky surface. ... "

" ... After 1 week of use it is now not charging at all and I've tried a few cables. ... "
" ... Product was missing the charging cord ... "
" ... 2 of them stopped working after two months, probably due to some loose wiring inside the unit (when you stick the microUSB hard - it works). ... "
" ... After a few months the included charging cable broke (seems common). ... I replaced it with my own cable and car charger. ... "
