LOVE IT. Used as a replacement on a Tesla screen phone holder
I had another product that I bought to put on my Tesla screen that would hold my phone. That product did not hold my phone properly but this product had a ball and socket. I simply used the socket and attached it to the ball on the device that was attached to my Tesla screen and this holds my phone like a charm! I LOVE it. I have a pixel 7 for reference with a POP SOCKET on the back and it still fits comfortably! I love it so much that I just bought two more!

Does what is expected
This is my second purchase of this product in 5 years and it works fine. Easy to install and highly reliable. After awhile the springs that hold the phone weaken. Given the amount of uses I am not surprised and it has allowed me to be safe while driving. Actually I bought three of them. I used the second months ago. I bought one for my disabled brother who has trouble with his hands. I returned it immediately when I deduced that he would not be able to grip the device.

Just what I wanted, until…
Simple to put together, install, and use.
There is one point in the instructions that could have been clearer (they don’t really show that you need to *push* the ball into the main body until it clicks) (if you don’t, the ball won’t fit and will seem to slide out of the assembly), but it only took me a minute to figure that out.
Sturdy, fits well (please note that that are two different tightness settings on the clamp that attaches to your vent, so one will probably work better than the other, depending on the thickness of your louvers), rotates readily to horizontal or vertical. Clamps on the side hold the phone in place with a gentle push; an easily accessible button on the back pops it open to release the phone. Can’t beat it, especially for the price.
Edited to add: I changed my rating from five stars to three. Most of the things above are true, but: It was great the first several months but then, after only using it for 6(?) months, once or twice a week, it suddenly started coming loose and falling off the louvers. It doesn’t unclamp, it simply comes loose from the louver and hangs down or falls off. Not very convenient when you’re driving. I can open the clamp, put it back on the louver, and tighten it again, and it’s good for a week or so, then it happens again. Considering I only use it a few times a week, for me that makes it very unreliable. Will replace it with something else ASAP.

A Great Value
This is a great value and works for me. It clamps tight on to the vents.

Bulky, inconvenient, and not at all durable
I bought this to replace a similar phone holder (not Amazon brand) that I let someone borrow and never got back. The one I originally bought is no longer sold, so I bought this one because it was the closest product I could find to what I’d had before. This one is terrible in comparison! The form factor is super bulky, which is very inconvenient in my car because there’s not much space between the vents and the steering wheel. You have to reach around the back of the phone holder to release your phone from its grasp, which is particularly inconvenient because it’s so bulky. The mechanism by which it clamps to the vent is not actually adjustable, it just toggles between a couple different options for the width of the clamp’s opening, and after less than a month and a half of use the clamp stopped properly closing on the smaller width option. In fact, after less than a month and a half of use, several parts of this phone holder gave out and it would not hold my phone steady while I drove. I don’t recommend this product!

Works great. Easy release.
I found this particular phone holder to be much better than another brand that I bought last year. The button on the back is smoother and much easier to release the phone. My only quibble is that the feet that hold the bottom of the phone gets slightly in the way of plugging in the audio input. But if you’re just using Bluetooth it won’t matter.

Fácil de instalar y usar

This is a handy way to keep your cell phone at eye level. Easy to install. Noted that this is the second one I had to order however as the first one stopped working (wouldn’t open/close). However, family members have bought multiple and only had issue with one.

This is about as basic as you can get, but it does the job admirably. It features a simple lever lock to attach to your car vent, with two different thickness settings to make sure it grips on tightly enough if you have thinner vent slats. The actual holder part swivels on a simple ball joint to allow you to rotate your phone horizontal or vertical, with a screw cap to lock it in place once rotated. The two arms on the side are spring loaded, with a release button on the back, to allow you to make sure your phone is held tightly in place. The whole thing is padded to protect your phone. That’s about it. But, as with most AmazonBasics products I’ve used, it is of a perfectly acceptable quality standard and at a very reasonable price, which I guess is the whole point of the range. I will just add that you should make sure you should make sure of two things before buying. Firstly, make sure you have vent slats suitable for fixing something like this to. If you have the kind with the ones that open and close loosely, you may find that the weight of this will pull the slats closed, which is the case with mine, although this can be worked around by adjusting the direction of the slats. Secondly, have a look at the placement of buttons and jacks in your phone, as you may find, as I did, that the arms on the holder might block or push these inconveniently. I can’t really use that as a reason to reduce the score however as the fact that it happens to be incompatible with my particular phone doesn’t somehow make it a bad product.

It is a perfect fit. Quite reasonably priced and arrived early.
I will put it to the proper use. Thank you.
