Non-Slip Dashboard Cell Phone Holder Vehicle-Mounted

Disclaimer:I purchased two of these for mysekf and was not paid or compensated by the seller or manufacturer in any way. The following is my honest opinion.BLUF:Overall, I 100% recommend this product. It’s price point is amazing (the best, in my opinion) given it’s utility, quality, and easy of use.Pros:Super easy to use—installation and removal is a trivial task. Fits in all seven vehicles I’ve used it in; three cars, a van, two SUVs, and one truck. Fits in the center console or glove box when not needed. Seems pretty durable, although I haven’t used it in temps below 20°F or above 80°F yet.Cons:The non-slip grip that touches the dash isn’t quite grippy enough if you keep a clean car—spray-on-wipe-off dash cleaner/protectant. The paddle for opening the jaws could be a bit wider and longer, which would make opening them easier. If you’re not a tall bodied person, this can cause your device to obstruct your view of the road if mounted above the steering wheel.Again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!

It’s been only two months since I’ve had it and I cannot be more disappointed. First flaw: If the car shakes for any reason (potholes, rough road, bad alignment, etc.) this clip will slide off of your dashboard causing it to fall. Now if you’re using it for GPS and you try to catch it and put it back up, it’s so cumbersome that you will swerve into the other lanes.Flaw two: The hook just snapped making the entire thing unusable. The rubber pads don’t hold on for anything making me have to push back the clip every 10 seconds. This is trash. Don’t waste your money.

I am sure it works better for some cars then others. On mine which is a 2001 Camry it doesn’t go on easy and does not stay unless you find the sweet spot and work it for a little bit. Also when you take phone out it usually pops off. When you do find the right location it works pretty good but ends up also being right near windshield so on warm day phone warms up quick.

I tried several methods of mounting my Garmin Drive Smart 55 GPS in my car and none of them were satisfactory. The suction cup mounts would occasionally lose their grip on my windshield causing my GPS to fall. The bean bag friction mount took up too much space on my dash. I decided to try this Dashboard Clip. It was the perfect solution for mounting my GPS on my Mustang GT's dash. The Dashboard Clip placed on the dash overhang above my instruments gives me a perfect view of the display and does not block my vision of the road ahead. The Dashboard Clip does not get loose like the other mounts even on bumpy roads. I like it so much, that I recently gave one to a buddy of mine for a Christmas present. He likes it with his Garmin too. I highly recommend this Dashboard Clip to anyone looking for a secure GPS or phone mount. I think it should work with most cars.

I drive a 2000 Chevy pickup and have long searched for a good mounting device for my smartphone. I have a Pixel 2 XL so it's a big phone. This has been a problem.Not anymore."Installation'' was a snap. I just pushed it on the lip of the dashboard and that was pretty much it. I was worried about slippage but they seemed to have engineered it well enough to provide a firm grip on the dash.The jaws lever up to fit a variety of phones and it did indeed accommodate my brick of a phone.I've used the setup to with Google maps and android auto - it keeps the phone where I can see the display but still keep my eyes on the road. That quick glance down is certainly less risky than having to look down and to the right...that removes a fair degree of your peripheral vision.All in all, this was a great investment of 13 bucks. Durability? It seems to be pretty heavy duty plastic and I think the mount will hold up pretty well to everyday use - I certainly think I will get more utility than what I invested in it.

I loved the idea of this, I have been looking for something to keep my phone where I can see my gps but wont keep falling off the window and my new dash is a dimpled leather and nothing will stick to it. I got his but when I tried to attach it, the area is convex, in other words it is shaped like an angle, getting larger as you go towards the dash, so it would not stay in place. After many attempts, I was able to get it to stick in place for a few seconds in the middle but then it obscured my view and I couldn't see my speedometer. My son who just started driving looked over and said, "that blocks your view, thats not a good idea". Yeah, if he could see that, I knew it was a bad idea.

I can confirm this fits a 2012 Nissan Xterra. The 2nd Gen Xterra had a dashboard update in 2009 or 2010, I think, so this will fit that dash up until the line was cancelled in 2015. I can't determine if it fits 2005 to 2008/2009, before the dashboard update.This also means that it will fit a Nissan Frontier of the same generation and years, since it's basically the same dash.But man, it does not go on easily, and I kept thinking it was going to break because it was so stretched, but it has stayed put! If it did snap, I wouldn't fault the unit, since admittedly this thing is stretched beyond reasonable bounds.It works well!

This turned out to be an ideal solution for me. Even though the dash in my car is a little too obtuse, it still grips very well. I might have to stick a little piece of Velcro on the underside of the dash if slippage gets to be a problem. It holds my phone securely but best of all the phone is in a position where it is easy to reach without taking my eyes very far off the road. My state has "no touch" laws but I find I can sneak a little tap every once in awhile and nobody would ever notice. (Not that I EVER have or would. Heaven forbid!)
