very versatile phone clamp with nice bendable bar
936154
I love these -- have purchased 2 now. I have one connected to the bottom of my bed frame so that I can read from my phone (galaxy note 4) and use it for podcasts while in bed. The long bendable bar is great and can be curled up easily into smaller loops if only a short distance is required.

The 2nd one I purchased I use at the office and connect to my desk. I use it to hold the phone so that I can view it at a good angle (similar to laptop screen).

I also use these the way you would use a tri-pod for a camera -- will hold the phone in almost any position in order to take videos of projects or people. Example:  you can clamp it to an open door and have your phone camera take video from a vantage point near the ceiling of the room.

Very nice little mounting tool.  Keeps phone stable and accessible.

I bought this in lieu of the Glif because it had more flexibility. Not just for 1 iPhone model, this thing holds loads of smartphones and tablets steady enough to a tripod. It is extremely well made and easy to use and under most circumstances it will be perfect for your needs.

It is small, light, strong, and stays out of the way, but will always cover a small part of the screen, you can adjust that any way you see fit.

It has a mechanism to keep from stripping when you ratchet it all the way down, clever as I like to tweedle with it. The same mechanism prevents damage to your phone. This has worked very well.

The cushioning are seems small but has held up and done its job.

Hold devices much more securely than it would seem and you do not have to over tighten it.

All that said, it does less well with curved devices and cases, and if you have a very thick case such as an otter-box, you will have to take the phone out of the case. It opens to about a maximum width of 1.5 I phone 4's.

It will do what you want for a decent price.

I found this really easy to install and use.  The clamp that clips into the vent is sturdy and strong. The only thing I will say is that you should pick a place you expect to be permanent, because I think it would be a pain to move because of the way the clip works.  Having said that, I think it's pretty much par for the course for this type of device. The clamp for the phone is strong, adjustable, and does not scratch the phone or case. I'm very pleased with this.

I received this phone holder for free in exchange fort his honest review.

Great choice! I use this to attach my phone and and it is much more sturdy than the plastic ones. I highly recommend. Easy to install and fits multiple size bars.

I love this tripod's design-- the three "arms" can be wrapped around something to sort of hang your phone in a position you want, or you can stand it up on a table, counter, ledge, etc. This means that I can get a good, stable image for my phone even in a cramped or awkward space, which is pretty neat. The clamp grips the phone pretty well and I wasn't worried about my iPhone slipping out of it.

Also, the clamp that holds the phone can be screwed into a regular tripod as well, which is convenient.

My one complaint is that the thread on the bottom of the clamp is not build too well. When screwing it into a tripod, it can only screw in so far before it sort of "pops" back out. The result is that it can't get quite as tight as I'd like it to when I use it with a regular tripod, which could have bad results. So far, I have not had this issue with the clamp-piece screwing into the provided mini-tripod, it's only an issue when I've tried to use it with my own tripod.

Overall this thing is very useful for the iPhone and I would recommend it to friends.

While I still prefer the versatility of a higher-end suction cup cell phone holder, this product is particularly useful for travelers.

 Its tiny, 2.5 x 1 x 2 inches with a 1 inch or so projection on the back. It weighs only a couple of ounces and takes up practically no room in a travel kit.

 The beauty of this device is that it will clip onto the air vent of virtually any vehicle. The mount on the back is cleverly designed with slots for thin and thick vent slats. The mount will swivel 360 degrees. The jaws extend to a bit less than 3.5 inches.

 In practice, there can be some limitations. There is no angle adjustment, so if your screen doesnt have a wide angle of view and the vent is far from you, you're out of luck. On some vents, the slats are so loose that the weight of the phone will pull them down, but a wad of paper or something under the phone will remedy this. In some cars, the vents are just inconveniently placed. In some cases, you may want to know how to use voice commands to navigate your device.

 The mount grips the phone firmly and getting the phone out can require two hands, which may be disadvantageous.

 For the most part though, this clamp fills a need when you're renting a car and don't want to carry a larger suction cup mount with you. Well worth keeping in your travel kit.

I have a Nexus 6 and most car mounts are not big enough to fit my phone or are not strong enough to hold my phone up. This car mount is very well made and holds my phone perfectly.

I really like the unique button on the side that opens the clamp arms up. All you do is press the button and the arms start sliding open by themselves. They open up very wide and you place your phone in the arms and just press on both arms to tighten them. Very handy feature that I haven't seen on a phone mount before. It keeps my fingers from getting smashed and is so easy to use.

There is a lock knob on the back of the phone mount and on the suction base so they stay in place and you can unlock them when you want to remove them. The pedestal shaft is flexible but can't easily move so it allows you to place your phone at the angle you need.

You attach this phone mount to your windshield and you want to clean you windshield first so it sticks properly. There are instructions on the box and they are easy to follow. I am very happy with this phone mount and it is definitely worth getting if you need a quality phone mount.

I received this phone mount for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. This didn't change my opinion in any way.

Reasonably sturdy. Easy to attach to windshield, and stays firmly put. Felt liners inside pincher ensure the handset won't be marred or scratched, which is good because the pincher grips like a bear trap! In my opinion this device will hold phones other than a Moto X 2014. My friend put his iPhone 6 (clad in a mophie) into this holder and it too stayed clamped securely despite it being much thicker. He's going to order one these too, after seeing that. The vendor maintained very good email communication with me as they sought to know whether I'd be okay with a substitution to black instead of the white shown in the picture.

Maybe I should have given this clamp 5 stars, but I love it (5 stars) does not seem to fit a clamp, so it gets I like it (4 stars) plus the emphasis in the review headline.  This is a beautiful tool and works great at the job for which its designed.  To apply it, you loosen the screw by turning the Comfort Grip Main Handle, slide the jaw along the Heavy Duty Main Bar to the required position, and tighten the screw to the desired clamping force.  The design of the jaw lets it move along the bar as you tighten while keeping the face perpendicular to the bar (parallel to the opposite, fixed jaw) for even distribution of clamping force.  Simple and elegant.  Both jaws have plastic covers to protect your workpiece.  The covers are removable and presumably replaceable should they ever get damaged (or contaminated by strong glue).
One limitation, and this is probably inherent in this style of clamp, is the amount of travel under clamping force.  Unlike a vise that provides full force over a significant distance (albeit with lots of cranking), this clamp moves a bit less than an inch once you start cranking it down.  Its fine for holding glued joints or closing the last little bit, but not useful for drawing pieces together over longer distances.  Not a problem, just something to be aware of.
Highly recommended!

The Cellet smartphone cup holder support is a highly flexible alternative to suction cup windshield mounts for your phone in your vehicle. The holder fits into the cupholder of the vehicle as opposed to a suction cup on the windshield which can make the phone difficult to reach and provides a minor visual obstruction. The holder in my case fits snugly into a permanant cupholder in the console of my car. Other cupholder locations and alternatives should also work.

The support comes nicely packaged in plastic which is easily opened by simply pulling it apart. A large card in the package shows pictures of installation alternatives. Installation is simple. Just adjust the expandable base by turning the dial to the size needed for your holder and place it in the cup holder. The support arm itself is articulating so it can be adjusted so the phone is about a foot from the base or it can be turned down to other levels including just above the base. The base itself can be turned 360 degrees to face the driver or passenger.

The phone holder snaps easily onto the arm. The holder is padded on the front and sides to protect the phone. Just place the phone in the holder, squeeze the sides and the phone is held snugly in place. To remove the phone press a button on the holder and the sides of the holder slide open. The phone holder can be rotated to provide whatever angle is needed. Any phone should fit. My phone is an iPhone 6. There is more than enough room for a larger phone like the iPhone Plus or other larger brands. It will also hold smaller phones.

The only minor irritation I have has nothing to do with the support. My cup holder is just behind the shift lever so the support is in the way slightly. Fortunately I don't use the shift lever that often like you might with a standard shift.

The Cellet smartphone cup holder support is well designed with a wealth of adjustment alternatives to meet nearly any needs. It is solidly built and comes at a reasonable price. I like it and would recommend it to others.

I have put some miles on with my iPhone 6 secured in this mount and am very happy with the design.  Even with my phone in a portfolio case with the leather cover folded behind, I have no problem securing things.  The clamp/ball mount itself is clean and compact, and would easily accomodate a large bar.  I used 2 1/2 strips of rubber to snug it to the 1" bar on my Victory.  When you don't need the mount itself, or if you park and don't want to leave things out in the open, you can quickly pop the phone mount off the ball by backing off the tightening screw.  Quick and easy.  It will be interesting to see how the rubber piece holds up over time.  Hopefully it stays soft and flexible (another reason why removing it so it doesn't bake in the sun makes sense).

One small quip I have is that the rubber is asymmetrical, so your phone needs to be mounted off center.  It's not a big deal, but i'm not sure why it was designed that way.  Overall, really nice mount!

Awesomely flexible and sturdy! This phone holder is excellent (currently using with a Samsung S6). Locking it into place is very easy with one hand, and getting it out of the holder is even easier with the quick-release button in the back. The only issue I have with it is that the adjustable sides won't close evenly, so the open space for the charger doesn't line up in the center. I need to plug the phone in first before putting the phone in the holder, and then squeeze the sides. The result is a slightly slanted phone, but the sides still hold on firmly enough so the phone doesn't come out of place. It's more nitpicking that anything else, but whadduyagunnado?

This little device makes it so easy to just slip my phone or GPS into the cradle and tighten it down. I have no fear of the phone jarring loose or falling out. The material grips the phone well. The release tabs are places well to prevent accidental release. Even wearing gloves, the mount is easy to work with.

I had been looking for a dash-mount phone holder for my smart phone (LG Ally) that would be reasonably priced and not too bulky or 'contraption-y'. - Very few of the options out there seemed to fit the bill. I had a co-worker recommend this one and decided to give it a try.  - Glad I did.  The metal plate attaches firmly to the back of your phone/phone case via the manufacturer applied adhesive - just peel & stick.  For mounting the holder to the dash, I used 3M duo lock (similar to velcro, but stronger) and applied one piece to the back of the holder and other pieces to a couple different mounting locations on my dash - as well as one in my wife's car.  That way, it can be moved to wherever desired.  - Works great and holds strong.  The adjustable swivel of the holder seems to hold strong in whatever position/angle it is placed, despite the weight of a smart phone.  (Hoping this will continue over time, but so far, so good after a few weeks.)  Many phone holders seem to 'clamp' on to the phone from two or three sides and would look to somewhat obstruct view of the screen, but this holder provides great screen and button access. - Highly recommended.

Fun little tripod for your phone.  Like the way it is bendable which allows for many angle and placement options

This Lazy mount is a wonderful addition to my desk area. I can now place my phone on the mount and have easy access to it whenever necessary. It never gets buried under papers or books this way. The clamp secures to the side of my desk and the neck is adjustable. While the neck is difficult to bend, I find this useful in that it doesn't bend With the weight of a phone or tablet. The extra bindy thinner section works well to readjust my phones position quickly. No complaints...
