iOttie Easy-Flex Car Mount $9.95 + FS

Though not nearly as low profile, I have been using this one from meritline for a couple months with no complaints. Also, per the reviews it will hold a nexus 7.

It feels cheap compared to a garmin GPS mount, but it's $4...

I'm still tempted to pick one o the iottie ones up, just for the low profile. I'd like something to reliably stick to the dash board though.

Quote from AidansDadnj : I just can't keep buying these car mounts that last a few months and then lose suction, stickiness, whatever. I want to get a Proclip, but I need to wait for a coupon code.

highly recommend the Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount. i got it on sale the last time it was on SD. it's in my wife's toyota rav4. we rarely play CDs and its super handy being in the center console. it doesn't feel like one of those cheap knockoff holders that will break after a couple months. i've gone through my share of those.

Quote from tooloud10 : This has been my exact experience as well, and I'm only trying to have it hold an iPhone 4S, which isn't all that big and heavy. Also, while it's easy to get the phone into the iOttie, I find it rather difficult to remove.

I third the sentiment that this mount is not worth it. I got three for our various cars due to the low price and the high ratings.

Mount 1: failed due to warped tightener. It created a loose seal and the mount kept falling from the windshield. I-ottie (via Amazon) replaced that one.

Mount 2 and 3: on the clamps holding our S3s/iphones, the rubber cushioners quickly moved all over the place and eventually got stuck on our phones or fell off the mount. The rubber cushioner pads are attached through some sort of semi-weak adhesive. Ultimately, we were left with a mount without necessary padding to keep the phone securely in place. Also, if your charger wire is a bit taut from the lighter/adapter, it will pull the phone and mount quite a bit. The mount is not strong enough on its own.

Iottie did not honor the 2nd mounts problems, and Amazon refunded our money. When the 3rd mount failed, we just gave up. Interestingly, the stickiness to the windshield were not the main problems. It was the failure of the rubber pads in the clamps that caused the major fail for these mounts. We ended up testing a few more mounts and ended up picking 3 seidios--which are a bit pricer but strong and worth it. Not perfect (the clickety nature of the rotation mechansim requires careful placement to get your mount perfectly horizontal), but worth it.

Another +1 for the iOttie One Touch. I have been using it for a few months now and it works great with my iPhone 5. The suction is great, you can twist and turn it is all directions, and the best part is the open/close via the One Touch button.

Quote from laptopquestions : For those curious, a direct link to the iOttie One Touch [amazon.com] @ $19.99.

FWIW, I had this mount and it was total crap. Suction sucked and kept falling off of my windshield.

I have an iPhone 4S with a Speck Candyshell Case and a 2007 Honda Civic Ex Sedan.

Spent the extra money on a better one on eBay.

the chinese coppied the same exact mount and put on ebay for 3.79 free ship lol..

I'll guess i'll give it a try since it 60.2% off from iOttie

can u have one cd inside and use this? or if my car comes with 6 disc cd player, can i leave 6 cds in my car and simultaneously switch between cds and use this?

Yeah, don't buy the real cheap <$5 ebay mounts like I did, unless you want something that will only keep suction for 5 days.

Can anyone recomend a mount that will hold a phone with the extended battery?

I bought this back in the summer when it was 100+ out here in California. It was good for 2 days and then I found it on the ground. The suction is not very good at all. Also the hinges or the mechanism that rotates started to droop when I would try to position it upward. Wouldnt hold my iphone upright after a day or so. I would not recommend this product at all.

No you won't be able to use your CD player at all with this mount.

I have this and love it! I wish it would 'lean/pivot' a little more to the left (so it would be facing me straight on instead of just a little to my right), but pretty happy with it

Quote from shutterbug71 : No you won't be able to use your CD player at all with this mount.

Why not? If the CD is already inside, the the mount shouldn't do anything to interfere (no ejecting!!)

Hmmm will this hold Galaxy Note 2?

Edit: Nvm answered my own question on Meritline website. Now the question is, is this strong enough to hold Note 2 while driving.

Awesome! I just happened to order this last night, and for some reason, it shipped one day with Prime. I'll get it today.

I'm all about saving money, but spending 10-15 dollars on chaper mounts, only to have them last a short time, is not a smart decision. Also, I need it to be safe enough to hold my $600 investment properly and securely.
