iOttie Easy One Touch 4 Dash & Windshield Universal Car Mount Phone Holder Desk Stand for -iPhone, Samsung, Moto, Huawei, Nokia, LG, Smartphones, Black

I’ve been using the iOttie One Touch since the 3rd version came out many years ago. They are fantastic. Easy to set up, stable, and in the Texas heat with a black interior, they last surprisingly long. I get about two years out of each one before the suction cup fails. Up until now, I’ve never had any interaction with their customer service because I’ve never needed to. The product just works as intended out of the box for multiple years in the harshest conditions you can reasonably expect to put a phone mount through outside of some kind of extreme sport something or other.This time, though, I dropped the screw that connects the suction arm and the mount arm and my car ate it; vanished without a trace. Totally my fault, nothing to do with iOttie. I emailed their customer service to see if I could just buy the screw or if I needed to buy the whole thing again. They said “no worries, just submit a warranty claim.” Even though “I lost a part” isn’t normally covered under a manufacturer defect warranty. So I did. Got the part maybe three days later. It was the wrong screw. Now I’m in a bit of a pickle. They did me a favor by warrantying a part that I lost when they didn’t need to. But they sent the wrong part. Can I really be annoyed at a mistake in a gratis replacement? So I shot them another email explaining the issue. They said “no worries, we’ll send you a new screw, the right one this time.” About three days later, I get a whole new unit. Straight-up replacement. That’s fantastic customer service.

This phone mount has a simple, easy to use, design that just works how it should. It stays in place very well, doesn’t move around too much, and is easy to get my phone in and out of. The way that the clasps snap into place is very satisfying and makes me sure my phone won’t fall out.One word of advice though, make sure you get the location right for where you want to place it the first time. The sticky pad is the best surface to attach it to, and there is no removing it and replacing in–it is just too sticky for that. Which is a good thing, but just get it right the first time.So overall, this product is really great!

I’ve gone through about 10 different phone mounts over the years trying to find “the one,” and this might be as close as I’m getting.First, one of the key features of this model is that it comes with a mounting plate. This makes mounting much easier and gives you more options as you can stick it nearly anywhere and have a smooth, flat surface to mount the holder. The dashboard of my truck doesn’t have many places that are flat enough to mount a phone holder, and this created a lot more options. The place I chose to mount is too textured for a suction cup to grip, but the mounting plate sticks no problem.The suction on the mount is incredible. Even with it turned “off”, the grip is still rock solid. I actually drove around for a day with it “off” and the mount never let go. To remove from the mounting plate though is easy, simply pull up on the tab and “peel” the suction cup off. It will take a little effort, but that’s good!The all joints on the arm are “indexed” with interlocking teeth, which means once it’s tighted down it won’t move, at all. It also won’t (cannot) loosen up over time from vibration/wear. Adjustability is great, too, though this particularly model won’t extend fore/aft if if that is a concern.Now, the phone grip is just as good as the rest of the mount. Lightly press your phone into the mount and the arms snap close, tightly gripping your phone. My phone is relatively heavy (Google Pixel 7 in a Google branded hard case), and it does not move, AT ALL. My truck isn’t the smoothest riding vehicle and Michigan roads aren’t great either, but this is the first mount I’ve used that shows zero movement or vibration. It’s rock-solid. I’ve tried several highly reviewed magnet mounts, and none come even close to this stability.Removing the phone is easy. I can do it one-handed, simply squeeze the “wings” together and the jaws pop open and lock.The only minor issue I have with the mount is that the phone tends to sit every so slightly crooked, which only is an issue as the bottom charge port is sometimes off-center and partially blocked by one of the lower “jaws” of the mount. I can usually just nudge the phone a bit to adjust, or at worst take the phone out and try again paying more attention to how it’s oriented before closing the jaws.All in all, seems to be an excellent product with good design and better than average construction and details.

I have always hated using phone holders in the car because either getting my phone into it, out of it, or both is super awkward and difficult and annoying… let alone if I need to plug it into the charger, or tilt it to avoid glare or something. But!! After searching everywhere, and reading and watching loads of reviews… I found one that works. This really does work. I have a fully loaded “wallet” phone case on an iphone 11/12, and I can literally just shove my phone straight back onto this holder and the holder snaps into place around it. When I want to remove the phone, all I have to do is grab these two prongs (one on each side) near the bottom of the holder and push them inward toward the phone till I feel a click, and the phone releases from the holder. I don’t have to worry about being precise or getting an angle just right with either of these things. And if I want to plug a charger in (or unplug) it’s easy to do that while the phone is in the holder. I do it all the time now just because I can. I’m so happy now! Things are finally coming together for me – 2024 is gonna be my year!

I drive about 5 miles on hard-packed shale roads to get to the highway. There are hard ruts, bumps, and washboard.I have a Galaxy Fold 3, in a case.The phone is bigger than the arms that hold it on the bottom and sides, but it still held the phone through all the rough road.I have no complaints about the phone holder. The phone holder was tilted down some from where I originally had it when I first started driving, but that could be that I didn’t tighten the nut enough. Once I got to the highway and re-adjusted the position, it held. If tightening the nut doesn’t fix it, it’s still worth having it and giving it 5 stars.
