Works ok but...
This item worked perfectly in a 07 civic vent mount however we could not fit it on a 04 civic vent, the brackets were just too big for this car. I used it with no problems with and iPhone and was satisfied until I tried to turn the screen sideways. For some reason it all came flying out and the springs ended up inside my AC vent, way too far inside to reach. So now I have to dismount my car's dash to get them out....I will try super glue to make them stay in place.
Rock Solid GPS or Blackberry Holder
This worked really well for me. Hooked right onto my AC vent and stays in place. I use it primarily to hold my gps, but also sometimes my blackberry when I want to use the speakerphone.
I find this solution superior to the friction or suction cup mounted devices.
Great construction, easy installation, but one flaw...
I purchased this Grip-iT holder to use with my iPhone 3g. It is great built quality and installs very easily into the air vent in my car. It seems to be pretty sturdy and holds the iPhone 3g very nicely without any fear of it falling out. The bottom fold out brace bars are adjustable which is good for the iphone since you will want to move them from blocking the speakers. I am very happy with my purchase!
So here is the only negative or flaw in this design for me. Although the Grip-iT mount has a very nice adjustable rotating ball mount that allows you to turn your device from portrait to landscape and "fine tune" the angle, it is a very manual process. Other car mounts like the Kensington mounts have a rotating holder that clicks into pre set angles but is very easily done even while driving. The Grip-iT require that you make your adjustment and then lock it into place by tightening a large finger adjustable "nut" behind your device. This requires 2 hands...one to hold your device in place and the other to tighten the mount. I don't recommend doing this while driving. This flaw would really only apply to devices that can work in landscape and portrait modes. Since I use a GPS app on my iPhone I want to flip the phone to landscape on the fly. This is not possible with this Grip-iT mount.
Over all it satisfies 99% of my requirements! For the price, I can't find a better value!
