Best car mount for hands-free phone use
This is solid and well designed. The design holds the device firmly in place with no slipping due to the stabilizing legs. The side clamps expand to hold the largest of cell phone, and there is a bottom brace that helps to firmly grip your phone. It seems like it would fit any phone out there. The swivel feature is great. You can angle your phone in any way you want. Will work great for streaming Pandora via usb connection. Love it! ps...I am not a professional reviewer. I'M buying these for stocking stuffers this year!

Good product for the price
Good product for the price. It’s not flimsy BUT it doesn’t secure snuggly as I want to my vent. If I pull too hard.... or pull at all it all fall to the floor.That being said, I still use it daily & I am glad I purchased it.UPDATED: 4/14/2018This product is great but now it does not clamp to my vent anymore. It’s like its worn out it falls off now. It’s of no use.Had I known it would only last for 4 months then I would not have purchased this product. Buyer beware!

Worked well for only 2 weeks.
It is such a shame. It stopped working properly after only 2 weeks of use. There is a gear system that opened and closed the side clamps. That gear system stopped locking in place and is now permanently open. The phone is not secured and completely wiggly in it. I had to add a hairband to keep the sides clamps in "place". This is NOT a solution for a faulty product, the product should be keeping the side clamps from opening as it used to do.I contacted the seller on June 27th. No reply so far. I don't think I got a defective product as I've read similar review (too late for me, hopefully not too late for you). Waiting for the seller to fix this issue, send a replacement.... anything... I'm just amazed that this wonderful product only lasted 2 weeks.

Great idea in principle! Mediocre production.
Design is genius. Implementation of that design is problematic. Researched almost every car phone vent mount on Amazon that would be sturdy and large enough to hold my cell phone protected by a thick leather wallet-style case. The vast majority either don't state their phone size limits or claim maximum cell phone size limits over or at the borderline of such a large, heavy phones (no listings for ANY mount showed weight in addition to size limits so I can't fault this seller alone for that omission).When I claim that the design of this mount is genius, I'm not exaggerating; the way it's 'supposed' to work is greatBut when the blueprints were actually implemented in their manufacture, someone cut some corners -- principally in the size/strength of return and clamping springs. These shortcuts and penny-pinching when manufactured means that the extension and retraction of the clamps is tediously slow and their clamping power is very limited. Because of these weak springs, my cell phone is very subject to dropping on bumpy roads or long trips when the clamps and grips loosen spontaneously. To overcome these potentially costly events, I've had to train myself to check and recheck the tightness of the the clamp arms holding the phone and the clamp holding the mount to the vent. Those without the patience or time to mount large, heavy phones will be disappointed.With all the above negativity, why a 5-star rating? Simply because that even with all it's production weaknesses described above, it's the very best mount that I could find either online or in brick-and-mortar stores for large heavy phones, i.e., those with thick protective cases. [and I hope that Amazon allows me to also volunteer that the service was excellent and delivery was very fast]

I've tried adjusting it in various ways and some are better than other
It works well enough, but it has some issues.- The mounting on the AC/Heating vent isn't very secure. It's fallen off a few times. I've tried adjusting it in various ways and some are better than other, but it's never as secure as I'd like.- As I've used it, the release button on the back has become difficult to operate.- The phone has slid out of the mount a few times as well. It requires a good deal of pressure on the sides to be sure the phone is firmly secured in the mounting. Firm enough pressure to raise concerns about its impact on the phone.I can't really recommend this product, but I wouldn't warn people off it altogether either.

Love this Mount! 5 stars! (Updated with additional info)
Vehicle: Honda OdysseyPhone: iPhone 7 PlusI looked and looked and looked trying to find the best cell phone car mount. At first I thought that the vent clip type of mount wouldn't be very sturdy so I didn't give it too much of my time then I stumbles across a video review of the Patea vent clip car mount and all the 5 star reviews got me! This mount is very easy to put together and install. The legs make it very sturdy and to wear the phone stays propped up at all times (seems like a main complaint on others was that they eventually fall down while in use). The vent clip holds onto my air vent very tightly and I love the one hand catch and release function. It makes it every easy to use. I also like the position of where my phone is mounted in my van and the ball joint in the mount makes for an easy adjustment of pretty much any angle that you prefer with an added bonus of being able to charge it while it's in the mount. If you are looking for a relatively low priced mount that does what it's supposed to, look no further bc you've found it!UPDATE: A week into using my mount and although I love the design and ease of use, the release button on the back of the mount has become really hard to press. Like So hard to press that I can’t use it bc I’m worried I’ll break my screen bc of the pressure needed to get the mount to release my phone. I have emailed the company for a replacement and they did respond to my email immediately so I’m pretty sure they’ll replace it for me. I’ll come back and update when it’s resolved. Hopefully this is just a fluke that this one broke bc I really enjoy this mount.
