Belkin Car Cup Holder Mount for Smartphones - Black

Best cup holder mount that I’ve owned. Even better than the Weathertech that requires all those silly filler cups!

I don't like it when Amazon has two, totally different products under the same listing. Many of these reviews are for the Vent Mount, not the Cup Holder mount, yet Amazon doesn't distinguish so the review stats are confusing.This review is for the Cup Holder mount only.I am very impressed with the build quality (typical Belkin) and the design. It really is perfect for me. It seems like it should fit just about any cup holder and it should hold just about any mobile phone.The base expands to tightly fit your cup holder and in mine, it is so tight that there is no way it will move. I have a 3-series BMW and the cup holders on that car are up high in the dashboard so this is actually a perfect mount for my phone where I can easily see it.Most cars have their cup holders down low in the center console, making it difficult to see your screen without taking your eyes off the road. For that instance, I can appreciate someone not wanting this option. But, if your cup holder is in a good location for you, I think you won't be disappointed with this product.It has a spring-loaded grip for your phone and it is actually a bit of a strong spring, requiring you to use two hands, one to hold it open while the other places the phone. I suspect that spring may lighten up a little over time and that would still be ok because it definitely grips snugly.The phone clamp is mounted to a ball joint, allowing you to adjust the viewing angle or rotate from portrait to landscape easily. The joint seems to have just the right tension so the phone stays put.I really can't say anything bad about the product for my needs, perhaps other than the price is a bit on the high side, but Belkin's stuff isn't cheap.

I’ve purchased so many phone holders in the past never found one I completely like, fits, and well made. I purchase 3 more, one for my mom, and brother and another for my rv.

This is a review for the Cup Holder. I love this thing. It does have a couple of caveats. I have gotten it to stay put where it does not move around when i slide in and out the phone, but it can be difficult/annoying do to at the beginning. ALSO, I live in Houston where the summer heat has spread the glue out of the backing and ends up leaving sticky residue on the back of my phone case every time I use it. I will try cleaning it to see if that works, but I'm lazy, and I don't want to have to do this sort of thing.Update: Still love it, still has a little sticky residue that extrude from the rubber protective pads. If someone knows a good remedy for this, please let me know.Cars that I have used it on:2006 Ford F-150: Does not work well due to the rubber inserts of the truck's cupholders. Could not use on it.2012 Ford Edge: Worked really well on this car.2017 Ford F-150: Works great on this truck and feels like a natural appendage of the vehicle.

Update: after 2 1/2 years of extensive daily use, the arm is beginning to lose its ability to hold the phone up in any position. For the price, I would be this unit again. It was attractive when installed and easy to switch between cars. I will seriously consider ordering this same phone holder.Previous review:This is exactly what I needed to secure my phone during my hour plus commute twice a day.Previously, I used the flimsy vent clips to hold my phone up but those aren't secure and fall periodically. Don't waste your money on those. Living in a major city, I rely heavily on various traffic and navigation apps so being able to see my phone is perfect. If your cup holder is far away from the driver seat (maybe a full size truck), this may not bring it up high enough for you to be able to see it clearly. There are alternatives with longer and more flexible arms that would be beneficial in those situations.I drive a midsize luxury sedan so I wanted something that looked compact and relatively elegant. It's also super easy to remove this phone holder. It expands to fit securely by twisting it.I highly recommend this device. A friend is ordering the same holder after seeing it in my car.

I really looked forward to getting this product. It sat in my cart for a long time and I finally pulled the trigger and ordered two. The first one came in and it worked great. The second one I purchased came with a defective cushion that holds the phone. I should've just dealt with it because I wouldn't have been disappointed at the replacement two. The replacements don't hold and the first of the two replacements actually completely came apart right out of the box (as seen in another reviewers picture). I expected decent quality, not perfect, from Belkin....this item is far from it with a 1:4 success rating (I'm going to gamble and keep the one, but I'm done trying to pick a second out of the lottery) - and I'm not holding my breath on the one that actually works. Great concept and appears stout, but the quality control and design is actually weak in terms of being robust and looks are certainly deceiving. If I were Amazon, I wouldn't bother selling these - shipping and all other cost implications from these being returned can't possibly yield a profit.
