    TaoTronics Car Phone Mount, Windshield/Dashboard Universal Mobile Phone Cradle for iOS/Android Cell Phone - Orange

    • The problem and reason for 3 stars is the base, the arm is a little clunky, you have to unscrew a knob to adjust height, the problem being that it's impossible to find a happy medium where it's easy to adjust, it's either immovable or collapses under your phones weight, there is basically no way to adjust it without completely pulling over and being completely focused on it, the knob that adjusts angle is the same way, these things on their own aren't earth shattering, but they both contribute to the biggest flaw

    • The base has a suction cup make but really works through a sticky element to hold the phone
    • The Taotronics TT-Sh08 has a very strong suction cup base with a convenient little release lever to make it easy to remove if you are going to move the holder to a different vehicle or you can use the mount as a welcome spare hand if you commute by train or other transit system and you will be sitting at a seat with a table and you wish to view your phone and dont want it moving around or falling to the floor
    • However, if you want to move the holder, it's a nightmare; the adhesive base is so strong, it is extremely difficult to detach from any surface
    • Worked great at first, purchased 2 units...about 8 weeks old, base broke off both units...contacted seller, replaced 2 under warranty, 8 weeks later, replacement units have broken

    • I noticed it the mount's base was sagging a bit from the suction cup, and the suction lock lever started to get very loose.
    • On the 5th of March, 2018, it broke off the base
    • The Biggest Flaw: The base where the mount sticks to the
    • The sticky base can come off if it's not placed perfectly on a flat surface but if the surface is flat enough it sticks nicely

    • Surpricingly the suction cup has sticky base which will stick to any dashboard or windshield
    • The only thing I think is what makes it 4 star rather than 5, is that the base is NOT a suction base, but a sticky base
    • Worked as it was supposed to for about two months
    • Keeps falling off my dash while driving!And the heat during summer makes it stick to the dash and becomes kind of jelly like!Would not recommend as it puts permanent patch on the dash!
    • I use it in my car, as well as on my motorcycle
    • Loving it as of now
    • Definitely disappointed as I thought I finally had a great mount
    • Extremely disappointed as it is now too late to return
    • The holder is very sturdy and accommodates my iPhone with the charger as well as when I have it plugged into the AUX cord.
    • I love this product in the beginning, but after 6 months of using the button that locks the suction cup on the car dashboard does not hold as strong as before
    • It keeps on falling off the wind shield as well as from dashboard
