Once adjusted, do the jaws pull open slightly on a spring to grip the phone when released? Thanks.

No they don't. You always have to use the small wrench to release or grip the device. Sliding is an option, sure, but despite being made of rubber the Glif will slightly start scratching the surface of your device. I used to not unscrew it a 100% to slide out my iPod, but it now has two scratch marks on the backside where it slides across the surface of the Glif when sliding it out. Now I always unscrew it far enough to avoid that.The fact that you have to screw/unscrew it every time to remove or fasten your device is also its weakest point. After frequent use the screw which screws onto your tripod becomes loose from the Glif being slightly wiggled around when unscrewing the hex screw. No they don't.

No. There isn't a spring. You simply adjust it with a hex wrench that's included to the desired width of your phone.

The jaws are not spring loaded. However, the jaws are made of hard rubber that has just enough give so the phone can be removed with a little pressure.

No it does"t, this is exactly what I suggested it needed. You have to keep the allen wrench with you all the time to open and close the clamp. Too bad they did not think of this up front. I will be modifying my unit to be spring loaded

No. There is an Allen screw in the base that tightens with an Allen wrench.works well!

No. It's claimed as a feature and I agree--the phone is very secure. You can set the amount of friction. I use it with a case on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have it adjusted to slide in and not move.

Yes. The shell is attached to the soft cover and holds the phone in place by the sides. The shell doesn't detach though, so answering calls required me to get used to the attached soft cover. Hope that helps.

No release- just pull it out- it's just tight enough to hold it- it can be adjusted to almost any angle

No, it's not meant to slide in and out easily. But, I have mastered folding the case back and holding it to my ear. I really love this case. I have dropped my phone several times and it's been fine. There's no problem taking a picture with the case on either. I really like mine.

Yes, just slightly. The sides have a little texture so it is easier to hold the phone. I really like the case. It slips into my pant pockets easily and it is easy to pull out of my pocket.

Yes, but the spring is cheap. It's annoying. The one-hitter doesn't pop put like a good quality case would.

The phone does adjust, but not as a swivel. The part of the mount that goes toward the phone holder is bendable. That way you can adjust the angle of the phone it's a great holder, except it won't work well if u have a mirror with the on star buttons on it.

It does flip open all the way, however I found it does not hold the phone in very well. I would keep looking.

You insert the phone in first, then slide on the bottom piece. Its a snug fit and should hold fairly tight.

It's spring loaded but the spring is plenty strong enough to hold your phone. It won't slip out.

Yes. There are two screws ar the bottom of the face that need to be removed and then you have to hit the open button and you will feel the release lever behind the face while it is open. Once you remove the face, the mechanism will retract. .

Absolutely not. The spring loaded tensioner slides easily back on the lanyard and the case opens on a hinge at the bottom. It's a piece of cake. This case is the best out there!!! I would also recommend adding a custom screen protector from Armorsuit...

No release button, but it can easily be removed with one hand by pushing the phone against the spring loaded jaw of the grip. The grip jaw locks open when extended, and releases to grip the phone the next time you place the phone in it, by way of a small button in the center which the phone case triggers to release the open grip, allowing it to clamp back onto the phone.

Yeah, it took me a couple of times to get used to removing the phone. I hold the phone with my right hand and slide down the top left corner of the case with my left hand. Holding the phone firmly with one hand is important, as the phone tends to pop out and fly out of the case otherwise. Hope this helps.

Yes, each end is open with a small elastic band to hold the phone in place.

No, the phone slips in easily and holds it tightly. If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

yes it does, but not sliding. You simply start a one corner and pop the phone out on all sides. It bends somewhat. It is a good snug fit but easy to release.
