ARKON Mounts Universal Smartphone Adhesive or Drill-Base Mount for Cars & Trucks | Durable Phone Holder | Compatible with iPhone, Galaxy, Note, Pixel & more | MG2APAMPSVHB

I just purchased three of these for my three automobiles. I already owned the rather expensive ProClip brand combo solutions (both a custom vehicle mount and a custom phone holder), and I really like the ProClip solution, but (1) It's ridiculously expensive and (2) It only allows one phone to be used. I share cars with my wife and two newly driving sons, and the four of us each own a (very) different phone. So the rest of my family has to stare at (but not use) a custom phone mount for my Nexus 6 phone while their phones occupy a cupholder or slide around on the dashboard, etc. Not anymore! The good news is that my ProClip investment isn't a total waste because the I can still use the custom vehicle mounts with this Arkon phone holder. In fact, I'm using the identical screw holes and even the same screws (rather than the included bolts and nuts which can loosen). Arkon used to be my go-to phone mount, and I used to use their extra long gooseneck model that attached to the bolts on the seat base. Like ProClip, Arkon used to make phone model specific holders (I had one for my Palm Treo 755p phone), but thankfully this one is universal/generic, and can hold a wide size range of phones. Now whoever in my family is driving the cars can use the phone mount. It's very easy to use this phone holder, and for most phones you can put the phone in it with one hand/motion. With my huge Nexus 6 phone, the sliding clamp is pretty much at the limit, so in order to avoid stress on the ball joint, I usually put my phone in the holder using two hands. I've read several reviews that the ball joint on this holder eventually becomes loose and cannot be tightened down, so I'm being careful to not adjust/move the holder position much while the ball joint is tightened. The holder "prongs" are so small that it should be possible to hold any phone regardless of the position of the buttons on the sides of the phone. The "prongs" also are rubberized so they grip even a caseless phone very well. Time will tell how long it lasts (especially the ball joint), but so far I really like it. It's a much better (and way cheaper) solution than ProClip's, which makes you choose a specific phone model or at least a rather specific phone size that cannot vary much and isn't adjustable on the fly for using other phones. I still think the ProClip vehicle specific mounts are the best thing going, but this Arkon phone holder is the best phone holder going (at least for me) to install on the ProClip vehicle specific mounts.

Update: I've been using this for over 6 months and am pretty happy with it. I have it mounted to a Pro-Clip in a '13 GTI. It blends in nicely and works great. I mentioned previously that I wanted a simple one hand solution. The trick to accomplish that with this holder is to add some sort of spacer to make the minimum closed width just narrower than your phone. For mine, it was a strip of 3/4" double sided Velcro wrapped around the metal slide rods. I find tuned it by trimming the Velcro a little narrower. My original review: As other have said, it fits the Pro-Clip base (AMPS hole pattern). I didn't consider the Pro-Clip phone grip options for several reasons- one of which is price. But more importantly, they didn't offer one that would work with a case, which in this day and age just seems silly. I previously used an X-Grip from RAM. I'm a fan of RAM's industrial strength quality, but was looking for something I could mount my phone in one handed. Well, this isn't it. The ball clamp on that little 17mm ball isn't strong enough to resist the spring force of the clamping mechanism. You really have to hold it with one hand and either pull the right side out, or shove your phone against it until it fits. What it is however, is very slick, and right to the point. I love the clean lines and overall simplicity. It really looks and functions (despite the two-handedness) exactly as it should. Extra points for including a little cable holder for your phone charging cable! I'd probably go back to the X-Grip (which I did manage to modify with a zip tie which allows careful one-handed mounting, but this thing honestly looks SO much better- with or without the phone. I'm aware the iOttie grip is truly one-handed. I've put them in two other cars, but they just don't look as good as this does. This one also feels like it is made of better materials. This Arkon grip would be absolutely perfect IMHO if it had a similar mechanism...

Is a very nice and compact phone holder that I use in my kayak, but it does not stick for long. I've actually replaced the sticky stuff three times already. I think I will end up riveting this into my kayak if I keep it. It is nice to be able to pivot anywhere I want, and it is nice and compact and hold the phone well however. All in all, not a bad purchase if you are willing to drill holes in your kayak right away.

I went with the adhesive base for easy install on my dashboard – stuck like glue after cleaning the surface, no drilling needed, and it hasn't budged even on bumpy roads. The mount itself is solid with a strong spring-loaded cradle that grips my phone (with or without case) securely – no wobbling, no slipping at highway speeds or sharp turns. Adjustable ball joint lets you angle it perfectly for navigation or calls.

I have a ProClip USA mount on my car vent. The old holder does not fit my Iphone X. I was hesitant to purchase this clip but it is so much cheaper than the Pro Clip USA holder. It installed easily onto the ProClip mount, I was able to just screw it into the existing holes. Others have mentioned they had difficulty with the adjustable part of the holder being the right hand side. I do not have a problem with it at all. It goes in easily and comes off easily. It is possible that I use two hands for it most of the time. Still don't find that a problem. It swivels well, holds firmly and I like that it can accommodate different phones. Happy with my purchase - so far.

I use this product to hold my cell phone in the cockpit of my sailboat. It works as intended, is sturdy and adheres to the surface. It allows me to run my navigational apps on my cell phone while underway and it has a quick release if I need my phone throughout the trips. Great product!

Good grip, no issues with holding a large phone (Samsung S24 Ultra)

Works well, however, I wasn't able to tighten the swivel tight enough, so I need to use 2 hands to insert the phone, otherwise it swivels.

I use this on a "ProClip Center mount for Ford Focus 11-14" and it works really well. Needed to drill 4 holes in my brodit clip but the finish is really good and it looks almost OEM.

Use this on my motorcycle to hold my phone for use a gps. Works well however it needs rubber safety straps

Exactly how it appears in the pictures. Does the job of holding an old Cell Phone as a CCTV camera using the AtHome App. I am using the 3M Tape to stick it to a wall, and it seems to be holding okay so far. Lets hope it can take the weight of a phone for the long term. I would say that the movement of the mount is rather limited and It wasn't easy to get the adjustment right for the Cell Phone camera.
