I bought this 2 years ago and, to this day, it is the only car mount phone holder that I’ve never had issues with. After testing different styles and brands, this is the only one that did not lose its adhesion or suction. It was easy to adjust as needed. Because of its design, you can also arrange its position in a way that does not block your field of view while driving, or your AC air flow. It was also easy to put your phone in/take it out the phone stand itself. At times it was a tad bit of a hassle. However, that was rare. My primary focus is stability and security. This absolutely satisfied that need/requirement. Even when putting your phone into the mount or taking it out, it did not impact the adhesion itself. This is a major factor I look for as it’s been a consistent problem with other mounts before and after I found this mount. I used to DoorDash and wish that I had bought this mount. The other mount I had caused problems that I never would have had with this mount. Unfortunately, I left it in a car I rented to travel to California, so I no longer have it. However, it still exceeds my expectations after many trials with many different mounts. This is by far the best and for an affordable price.

The original version/first gen one touch 4 from this brand is on the left and the new version/latest gen one touch 6 is on the right, probably about 7 years between them. The manufacturer makes their products to last in temperature changes, shock wear and tear in a vehicle, and accidental drops off the dash or windshield. The new version improved the screws (previously held together by electrical tape after wear) and the whole spring loaded release trigger has been revamped (the reason the last model finally broke was due to the spring popping off of the back and the plastic latch broke). Now the release mechanism is within the unit so it seems sturdier. I was still expecting the telescopic arm which doesn’t exist in the new model, but after mounting it this was not a big deal because the arm is the same length as before. The suction cup is the same and still works great with the sticky pad. The lever to lock the suction cup is also fairly similar. Overall I’m happy with this brand’s quality and consistency over the years for the product value!

I’ve had this mount for probably over a year now, and it’s the only one I’ve ever purchased that hasn’t needed to be replaced in a few months. Bought it originally after my mom had the same one and it seemed to be durable. Adheres great and adjustable on the dashboard. Only twice have I ever had a problem with the suction, both times on really hot days for New York. If you live in a hot location and don’t shield your car from the heat, the suction might be something to consider. However, after those days, the suction hasn’t given me a problem since and the mount has worked well since. If you’re tired of replacing mounts like this, this one is still working for me!

The unit does not bind to the vent louvres on my 2015 Honda CR-V. The louvre point down under the weight of the holder with the phone, and in this position the holder clamp (along with the holder and phone) eventually slips off. It is not possible to tighten the clamp enough to keep it tightly bound to the louver. However the new iOttie Easy One Touch * 6 * Air Vent seems to fix this with a stabilizer that prevents reorientation of the slats.
I already have an iOttie for my dash and it works great. This unit positions the phone much more conveniently: the phone is easily within reach, and easy to view. Alas, the phone and iOttie fall off after about 10 minutes of driving. I wish there was a more frictive version of the clamp.

I initially purchased this for ease of using my phone while DoorDashing, and since then it’s become one of my favorite things!
The design just makes sense, the hinges and general structure of the holder are tight and constructed well enough that it doesn’t slide around or do anything goofy when you’re driving/trying to use it.
I also really enjoy the charger holder on the back, as well at the fact that you can turn the holder 360°, allowing for you to put on a video/movie while parked and enjoy that.
This is the first car phone holder I’ve purchased for myself, but it’s overall the best car phone holder I’ve ever seen/used. It’s well made, the design is ergonomic, and like I said, it just makes sense and I haven’t had any issues with it all.
10/10 would recommend!

I received this on 09/21/23 and installed it and used it on the road today for the first time.
However, I cannot insert the mounting bracket into the CD slot as far as shown on the pictures. It seems secure enough, but it bounces like a beach ball unless the road is perfect. (Ha! you say.) The bouncing is a problem when trying to make the slightest adjustment to the screen or even the tilt because it can throw off your aim and you can end up completely out of the map app.
The user is supposed to straighten the mount while inserting it, and I did as much as I am capable, but perhaps it is not enough. The instructions say “…you may need to press down on the top rubber support when inserting the mounting bracket.” I will…as soon as I grow a third arm and hand to do that while lifting the sides of the bracket with the two hands I have..
The swivel and tilt is nice. It blocks the clock/radio display, which I expected. Depending on the type of phone you have, you must experiment a little with the location of the bottom feet otherwise the locking arms will block the phone volume adjustment buttons. In fact, before I adjusted the feet, the arm pressed hard enough that it lowered the volume so much I couldn’t hear it.
Overall, I am ambivalent about this mount. I think it might have been smarter to order the older version 5 that has three tabs for the part that goes into the CD slot. I can’t return the one I have, though, because I need to use it right away, but I may order version 5 when I get home again.
Best of luck!

I found this product reviewed on WIRED as one of the Ten Best Cell Phone Mounts. I vote it #1. I stuck this to a non-smooth dashboard surface, and it’s never come loose in several months or use. I did not use the included mounting disc; I simply adhered the suction surface on the mount to the dashboard surface.
The lock and release mechanism is beyond compare, very easy to operate. You place the phone on the mount’s feet, which hold it in place, and press lightly on the phone to activate the clamp. To release the phone, you squeeze the two tabs below the clamps together, and the phone is free but still supported by the feet so that it doesn’t fall. Some design engineer really thought this out well.
The location of the mount it obviously a personal choice. I mounted mine on the dash-top to the left of the driver. I can see the phone clearly without distraction from driving. The mount is stable and does not shake or wobble.
You might want to consider being able to attach a charging cord from the mount location. I have a USB port close enough to connect the cord to the phone while driving. I found no need for the included magnetic cord attachment with my IPhone 14. The cord fits snugly enough without it.
I initially set up the mount with the arm extended to its maximum length to bring the screen closer to me. However, this resulted in minor shake and wobble of the phone. I found that I had excellent view of the phone’s screen with the arm contracted to its minimum setting where the phone was very stable. Do make sure that you securely tighten the round locking nut that allows rotation of the mount. I discovered shortly after installing the mount that the looseness of this nut was the cause of phone wobble. This was a “user” mistake.
I am super impressed with the design and quality of this product.

My gf bought the adhesive dash mount version and loved it so she sent me the link- I saw that I could get a CD slot version and after reading reviews that seemed promising, I decided to give it a try. I was skeptical at first but since it’s free returns I figured wth. I am so happy with it- you don’t have to deal with cleaning, positioning, sticking, hating it, trying to unstick and restick. With this one you just insert into the CD slot and (very nicely, don’t brute force it) push the bracket up to secure the plates inside the slot. I definitely recommend reading the directions, it’s really only 3 steps but the way it secures isn’t obvious. The part the phone sits in is easy to adjust, it holds the phone tight(I have an iphone SE 3rd gen) and is easy to release/secure. I prefer this over the traditional mounts because the location is just a quick right glance to see your phone(at least where my cd slot is) and my right hand only has to move an inch away from the wheel if I need to tap and I can easily have my left hand still on the wheel. I haven’t had any issues with it loosening or with glare so far. I did notice that if you have a somewhat shaky car at certain speeds your phone will shake along with it, but for me this isn’t an issue. If I’m using gps I won’t be going that fast when looking for directions and it hasn’t distorted the view so far. I have a popsocket detachable wallet on the back of my phone case that I do remove when placing it in the mount for a more secured hold. My phone does block the radio screen but I can still adjust the volume knob- for older folks who actually need to see the radio, this may be a con but for me, I’ve always used a bluetooth connection and use my phone for music, so it doesn’t affect me. With free returns I’d definitely give this a try if you think adhesive mounts or cupholder mounts aren’t working out for you. I’m really impressed with this.

The Easy One Touch 5 CD Slot Mount – Universal Car Phone Holder from iOttie works very well. I had been using a CD Slot Mount magnetic holder from Koomus which I have been very pleased and satisfied with, but when I got a newer phone and case it turned out it was a little too heavy for the magnet to hold securely, so I went this way instead. I did not rate the Suction Power or Adhesion as neither of those characteristics apply to a CD slot mount holder. However, I was concerned about the fit of this one, and it does fit the CD slot in a 2009 Subaru Legacy very nicely and snugly without having to use the supplied extra “wedge” thing. It does hold the heavier phone very steadily and securely even with a thick case that has a built in kick-stand extending from the back. The side arms snap in as soon as the phone presses slightly against the trigger pad gripping the sides of the case well with no effort or thought by me. They also open to release the phone with a very light and natural touch on the release bars, no awkwardness at all. The only thing that prevented my awarding a 5 star rating is that the feet bars at the bottom are not adjustable and may obstruct access to some features on some phones (on mine the headphone jack is blocked, for instance). Also the side arms are not adjustable in the vertical distance from the feet, and could block access to buttons or switches on the phone (no problem on mine, but I was concerned about that since my phone’s fingerprint reader is on the side – I had gone to a brick-and-mortar store to check the fit before ordering). Kudos to iOttie on their innovative packaging which allows you to thoroughly check out the item and even test fit your phone without removing the product from the package or damaging the package in any way. Also the small magnetic power charger cable managing tab is a nice touch to be included with the holder, and it works nicely.
