Miracase Phone Holders for Your Car with Metal Hook Clip, Air Vent Cell Phone Stand Car Mount, Universal Automobile Cradle Fit for iPhone Android and All Smartphones, Dark BlackCarbonfree Certified

I needed a phone holder quickly because my car was going into the shop for extensive bodywork, and I wasn’t sure if the rental would have Apple CarPlay. I’ve used vent-mounted holders in the past and always found them frustrating—either they fell out or damaged the vent fins. I had honestly sworn off this type of design—until I saw this one.This holder changed my mind. Installation was quick and intuitive—similar to snapping a Garmin GPS onto its mount (insert part A into the ball of part B, then tighten the nut to secure). It locks the phone in place at the angle I set, and it hasn’t budged since.A major bonus: Because it positions the phone right in front of the air vent, it helps keep my phone from overheating during hot summer drives.I took it on vacation last week and was impressed with how easily it attached and detached in a rental car. The phone drops right into the cradle, with space left for a charging cord. It’s held firmly in place by adjustable side arms that only release when you press a button on the back of the holder.Note: I tried to use it with my old Garmin Nuvi 2598LM, but it didn’t fit. This cradle is clearly designed for modern smartphones in terms of width, depth, and charging port alignment.Overall, this is a smart, well-designed phone holder that exceeded my expectations—especially for a vent mount.

I didn't like the phone holders with the suction cups since more times than not, they eventually fall off the glass or dashboard. Just wanted something that would hold my phone in both portrait and landscape orientation and wouldn't jiggle loose or fall off while I'm driving.This particular holder works very well, secures the phone well by means of collapsing/tightening arms (spring loaded I believe), and hasn't fallen out of the vent yet (Iphone 13 Pro Max with Case). Basically, you just set your phone and then squeeze the arms together (you'll hear/feel the clicks as it tightens). To release the arms and free the phone, there's a little quick-release button on the back side and the arms retract instantly.I've been very happy with the sturdiness of the holder because it's lightweight plastic and I thought I might have issues in the cold with it cracking. But I've had it for a while now and it's held up.When your phone is in the holder, be aware that you will block the vent air flow, but in the summertime, this is actually a benefit to keep the phone cool while using it, since the vent blows right on the back of the phone.Installation is super easy, just hook it in and tighten the nut and you're good to go. The instructions are clear and no tools are needed.Any phone holder of this level is going to have some vibration issues if you drive on bumpy or uneven surfaces. I barely notice when on paved roads and even at higher speeds. My car does shake a bit (it's older) when I reach higher speeds, but I've been very satisfied with the lack of vibration.As mentioned above, due to the design of this, it's quite versatile and you can swap from portrait to landscape orientation with the flick of a wrist by rotating it 90 degrees.Definitely worth the money and performs much better than others in the same price class that I've used in the past. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a simple solution to holding their phones in the car.

The bar that holds it to the vent was not quite long enough to attach to the vent slats in my 2015 Cadillac XTS in the center of the dash. It fit on the one on the left of the steering wheel, so I put it there, not ideal, but it works. I also got one for a 2010 Avalon and it works fine in it. It is a pretty good holder so far.

I don't have much experience with these, but I have seen many via passenger usage, and witnessing of the drivers needs.I will say, given my limited, intimate knowledge, after a vast amount of research and reading, this is as the reviews state.It is hands down, a top notch item. It's sturdy, it's steady, holds my phone where I need. Quick installation, the hooks are study, and the twist to tighten feature is wonderful.You can rotate them if necessary, to clamp down how you need. The quick release button is a wonderful addition.Love it.Get it for yourself, as well all deserve safe driving on the road, and this allows for hands free mobility for gps, or to set if you use Bluetooth through your vehicle for calls.Be safe, put the phone down .....On this mount, and keep your eyes on the road.

For only $20 (and I got it on sale for $13), this is an incredible product!! I’ve been using it for about a week now. It is very sturdy compared to other phone holders I’ve tried for my car. It doesn’t wiggle at all with a heavy phone on it!It has 2 little hooks on the end. You twist a little piece in the middle and that moves the hooks in and out to make it really tight on the car vent. Then it has a very tight ball and socket which is what allows you to move the holder to a good location for seeing while driving. I live where there are a lot of potholes, bumps, and curves on the roads, and it has never moved! You do have to put that ball and socket joint together when you receive the product, but it’s really easy. I didn’t even have to look at the instructions.I would 100% recommend this product!!
