Without the case the fit was great - no aux port problems and held the phone securely, but taking a cell out of an Otterbox every time I get in the car and then putting it back on when I get out is not worth it.(2
Works fine - CD Slot shims allow you to make a proper fit to your opening
Comes with extra pads for a better fit if your CD slot is wider
It comes with additional rubber shims (which I needed) to insure a secure fit in the CD slot.
The harder I squeezed the sides, the more it popped the phone loose
I didn't like the idea of putting a sticky mount holder on my dashboard nor did I care for the vent mounted holders as I felt the hot/cold air blowing on my iPhone might not be a good idea in the long run
great product and great idea.. love the placemat of my phone now and love it being off my front window
, I thought it was a great Idea especially if it doesn't damage the CD player
Love the idea, too bad my radio buttons are in the wrong place for this to work flawlessly
The base fits in my CD player without known issues as of yet
I would recommend this device and I have tried various vent mounts and didn't like how they secured and didn't really have a good place to use them.
Since my original trouble getting the device to stick to the dash, it has not come loose in about two weeks use in temperatures from just below freezing to about 50 degrees.
The harder I squeezed the sides, the more it popped the phone loose
I would recommend this to someone looking for a hands free device to receive incoming calls.
If the phone is turned horizontal rather than vertical, it works sufficiently (and if your vehicle does not have a console screen, then the Bestrix device would work very well!).
I love love love the cd Bestrix Universal CD slot holder for my phone
This is a great phone holder, and I have tried quite a few
After looking at alternatives I tried a vent mounted holder but that was not good for me as I live in NE and winters here are cold
My concern with a vent mounted holder was the vent wouldn't be strong enough to hold the weight of the phone and keep it in one place.
I didn't like the idea of putting a sticky mount holder on my dashboard nor did I care for the vent mounted holders as I felt the hot/cold air blowing on my iPhone might not be a good idea in the long run
This mount works great with my phone and with the position of my CD player
I had one of those vent mounted phone holders, but I was afraid the heat from the vent would damage the phone, so I ordered the CD mounted holder.
I had tried a vent mount for my Tundra, but it kept falling off
I didn't like the idea of putting a sticky mount holder on my dashboard nor did I care for the vent mounted holders as I felt the hot/cold air blowing on my iPhone might not be a good idea in the long run
She liked the one I have, which is a simple vent mount, but that type wouldn't work in her car.
,😉I recently added the ring to the back of the phone case & thus the phone mount is not deep enough in cradle to hold phone - probably need the bed depth to be 1/8" deeper to lay phone in & then outside clips would secure as w/o the standing ring
However, never received anything in the mail as they promised
The base fits in my CD player without known issues as of yet
I have a 2017 Acura MDX and tried several phone holders (mostly vent-based clips, which don't work based on the configuration in these cars), and this one has worked the best.
Not working as I expected, a small bump and the holder pops off the base
Very secure, handles bumpy roads and super easy to get in and out with one hand.
I mean, you are driving and unless the road is super smooth, you are going to get a little bounce
I feel that this product worked as it was intended and it was worth the price.
Easy to put together and so far has been holding up great, I sometimes have to drive over bumpy roads and my other one my phone would fall out, this one I have had no issues!! :-)
No issues so far and holder handled all bumps on the road well
Perfect for those who don’t want their vents or windshield blocked by a hands-free phone mount
Very sturdy- only blocks volume
Easy to install, secure - does not rattle while driving, texture of plastic makes item "look" nicer, quick release button is helpful, holder rotates which helps to prevent phone from impeding/blocking view of navigation screen
I hate the air conditioning vent being blocked as I live in HOT Florida
no dashboard holders falling over and no blocking of the air vent
What I noticed the first couple of days: yes, it can rattle a little on rough roads, but not enough to stop using it, and there may be eventual issues with the adjustable ball socket loosening
If I loosened up the sides that gripped the cell, it shook less, but then the cell would fall right out of the holder, which kinda defeats the purpose
The main cons are that my phone seems to vibrate while I'm driving (though its probably partially due to the nature of driving a sports car) and my phone won't stay positioned exactly the way I put it when I first start out (it may droop a little)
Only thing I would say is that it rattles a little when driving without a phone in it, but you can just remove it if it bothers you that much
The harder I squeezed the sides, the more it popped the phone loose
