Does the ball joint loosens up over time? I'm concerned that will it not hold up the phone after a while and I don't see a way to tighten it?

I used mine everyday for the last 5 months and it hasn't loosened up at all. Keep in mind it's not that stiff to begin with but it keeps my phone in place even on dirt roads. I like it.

After about 4 months mine just falls to the bottom position immediately, parked or driving, so it does loosen with no way to fix it.

I've had mine since December of 2014 with no issues of being loose. I do not adjust it very frequently either. It pretty much sits in place and works very well so far. If anything, it's still as stiff as day one.

I've had mine for almost a year now and the ball joint barely moves. Granted, I very rarely adjust it. I'd think the more often you move it, the looser it would get. But, mine has been in the same positition this whole time and it does not move.

Mine started losening up after 8 months and it falls to the bottom like S. Wessock explained. I have an iPhone 5s, so it's not even that large of a smartphone. I rotate it 90 degrees from portrait to landscape mode twice a day. I've contacted their support line and they've proposed having it exchanged, but shipping out of pocket. When it works it works great, however, I'm afraid with this happening frequently it will be like renting a product.

Umm it seems to work good I mean don't swing it around crazily like but my mom did drop hers (after a while) and it broke the corner of what the phone attaches to it but now I have to get her a new one, but she loved it! So it was really worth it but just make sure it's closed and everything should be fine ! I hope you'll enjoys yours as much as my mom did!

No. It moves back and forth to make it easy to connect your phone, but it's not flimsy at all. We've had it over a year and it's held up great.

When new it's very snug. Don't know how well it will hold up, but to give you an idea of how strong it is, you can hook up your phone to it and it won't the cap off.

I did not keep the package it came in. It holds my Kyocera Torque or my wife's Galaxy 3. The phone has never fell out, and the mount has remained in place for months. If there is no phone in the holder, the part that holds the phone may bounce out, but this is in a 4 wheel drive truck that I take off road.

Because it's a universal design it has a little play in it. When I mounted mine the first time I put my phone in it and positioned it so that it so that the phone could only rotate in one direction. I haven't had a problem with it moving. I can see if you're mountain biking or something along that line it might, but even on some rougher back country roads mine hasn't moved.

Hey, I have this case and I love it. At first it seemed like it didn't and I was bummed but over time it seemed to start reading the phone all the time and not being so touchy, charging my phone perfectly. Idk whether its because the case over time formed to the phone tighter or what but works good. I love the case just remember it sucks to take off and on.

It sounds as though your ball is not seated properly or the connection is not tight enough. I have had this model for nearly a year with no stability issue at all. My husband has used the same type for nearly three years and his is still very stable. Mine did come loose one time and I had trouble getting back on securely. Once I got it to 'snap' in place it has remained tight and moves only when I move it myself. If this is a new purchase I would suggest contacting the seller for replacement.

Yes. You can tighten the ball joint so that it doesn't move, or not tighten it so much and then adjust it while the phone is on there. You can also have it too loose, but that's easy to figure out. The magnetic pad is slanted as well which gives you greater range of motion depending on which direction it's pointing. It's just a magnet, so you can remove your phone and reposition it on the magnetic pad very easily.

I haven't had that problem and I've used it for several years as a replacement for a broken one that came on the carrier. You need to keep it snugged up so there isn't a lot of play.

This is basically a hard case but had some give. Important when take case apart and when you place it in the case. Not as smooth as the actual phone case. The surface has smooth overall feel it is ever so slightly roughened up. I use a shirt pocket so a gentle pull is all you need. I would guess that it would not fall out without quite a josstle. Hope this helps.

Yes, it stays together. It's built well fitting the iPhone snugly. You shouldn't have problems with the device.

No, no issue re: phone spontaneously falling out of the holster. If properly loaded, the phone stays put. This is true for both the blackberry (husband) and the iPhone (myself). Also, it "loads" very easily/quickly.

That happened to me at the beginning. I just held it in when I picked it up. Then after it had been in there a couple weeks, it never tried to fall out again even without support. Give it a little time?

Well I haven't honestly taken it out enough but what I can say is, I pull at the rubber case all the time and it hasn't stretched out at all. I've only had it for about 4 months. Hope this helps.

It holds the phone very tight but keep in mind that it is not just one big piece. The clamps that hold the phone in simply side on and off (left to right) and the plate the phone sits in also detaches from the base very easily. It does not click into place and you need to use two hand to pull the clamps up carefully not putting too much pressure on the rest of it otherwise the whole thing can fall apart. You cannot remove the phone quickly either and it requires two hands. I do not recommend this product as it is not easy to use and has too many pieces.

I used mine for about 10 months with no problem. Then it started breaking apart. I ordered another one, though because I liked the pink shell... I can find my phone in my purse!
