can the mount hold a phone in side ways

The smallest phones are likely to be able to fit into the mount sideways. My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 does not fit sideways, but it is currently one of the largest phones.

The phone goes into the mount with a portrait orientation. Once the phone is in the mount you can swivel the mount so the phone is viewed in either portrait or landscape. So the left arm of the mount clamp will always be in contact with the left edge of the phone. And simiarlarly right with right. But the mount swivels so you can view the screen however you prefer.

Maybe if you still have an iPhone 5. If you have iPhone 6 (4.7") or bigger phones, it won't hold side ways.

Yes it does for me. I have always used it sideways (portrait-mode, long side horizontal) and I have been using it for a year now. Fortunately I do not face the problem of swiveling like others did. It does move slightly on its own but not much.

The short answer is no. In fact you can, but it won't work well. In 'portrait', i.e. long side vertical, the device is rock solid. The device does swivel, so you can rotate the phone to 'landscape', but it uses a tightening screw on the back that becomes easily loose if you either swivel the phone back and forth or with prolonged 'landscape' usage. I tested it for about a week, and what happens is after a while the phone swivels on its own, counterclockwise (so the top of the phone points downwards). To fix, you have to reach behind and painstakingly tighten that screw. It's too fiddly for me.

Yes. If the phone will fit in the holder, you can use it in any orientation (Portrait/Landscape). I think what most people here are saying is that the swivel part of the mount may be loose. This is easily fixed by tightening the swivel screw with a screwdriver or a coin. I am currently using it with a iPhone 6S with no problems whatsoever.

The mount tilts the phone backward slightly so as long as the dash is fairly level you should have no problem seeing it.

I wouldn't recommend using it on its side. It is an otherwise great case though.

It only holds phones in the landscape position. That's why I find the gorilla tripod to be so useful, even the top mount rotates in all directions. If you need additional height, wrap it around something else, or as I do, another tripod :) I did look, but never saw anything that held a phone in both positions - at least not in this price range!

No, the gap is at most 2.75 inches. I doubt any phone would fit in vertical/portrait orientation. You could, however, mount it sideways and bend it so it hold the phone vertically.

Yes it can. I replaced a wall mounted phone, this one snapped onto the existing faceplate. There is a little gizmo that can be switched: one orientation for wall mount, one for desk placement; the wall mount position protrudes upward and allows the phone to 'hang' on it.

Yes, I want to give an advise, at the base of this mount put a double sided tape, a small piece is enough , as I have a bike so for its use I use the tape as it provides a grip on the phone , the tape is easily removable also.

No. I have Samsung Galaxy s5 and only works horizontally. One, the phone isn't wide enough to fit the mount vertically. But just as important, the mount is made of very soft, pliable rubber that flexes too much to support a larger phone vertically. Hope this helps.

Yes. The mount comes with two different sets of arms, one for a smartphone, one for a tablet.

Yes, the mount will grip the phone and you can adjust the arm. It may not work if you have a cover on you're phone. Depends on the thickness of the cover.

Locking the phone mount in the position you desire is pretty simple. Just make sure that the lock is pushed all the way in and it should stay.

Yes you can move left or right. Hope this video helps. I found it on youtube. Its the Koomus mount not the CD slot one but the design is the exact same when it comes in regard to moving the position of your phone. http://youtu.be/r5p4GA8-M-Q

It should, long as the connection is in the middle of the phone at the bottom. Even if it isn't, the phone can be adjusted while in the mount. It's pretty versatile.

Yes. The mount can be sit with the screen vertically or horizontally by a simply by twisting it to that position

It is possible, but it would be a little big, I'd recommend getting a smaller one to use with your phone. You'd still need some sort of mount to affix your phone too.

Yes. The brackets are on a spring so it can open wide and holds the phone in place. It really is universal for any phone that doesn't have buttons on the side of the phone.
