Since the grips slide in to hold your phone, it will hold a phone with a skin/case on it with you having to remove the skin/case. The plastic button you push to release the grips feels weak, but it has not yet broken on me yet and I have used it heavily since purchasing last week. The universal joint does not hold the phone up after three months of use. Anytime I drive over a bump, it slides down a little bit.
So that makes it useless for ANY of the purposes for which it is sold. I am close to giving up on any vent mount due to all the problems they have.
It also holds my HTC Droid Incredible and my wife's Droid 2 perfectly.
With the large screen of the Evo, I finally ditched my Garmin, and I'm using my phone as a GPS. This mount is perfect for the phone. The Vent Holder didn't fit one of my cars but it comes with a flat disk that can be secured to your dash if you don't like the window mount. I bought this item because I wanted a vent mount as that is the best position for me to control my HTC EVO 3D from the driver's seat.
It's a great product! Not as strong as windshield mount for Garmin GPS.
Feel this will someday be the failure point. Highly recommended, especially over a phone specific/proprietary holder! I have found that the piece that sticks in your AC Vents is useless in my car, but the windshield mount works great just like a GPS would. I love it because it opens wide enough to fit my Thunderbolt with the Otterbox case on it.
The other seller was selling the exact same product with only one of the mounts for an additional $5, so this is a great deal compared to other sellers. I purchased this for my Droid Incredible and it fits perfectly, with the Otterbox case that I have for it. You just have to make sure when you mount it that it's the way you want it because sometimes the weight of the device can make it tip forward but still stays on the mount. I only knocked off a star for the vent mount problems but it is a very well-made product that has excellent value. Drive safe everyone! My disappointment with this product is that it only worked for me with the windscreen mount. The air vent mount, which is what I wanted to use, was much too flimsy and the weight of the phone (Galaxy S2) moves the product back and forth every time you turn the car (and I'm no speed demon!) On the windscreen it works well. One side went in while the other side stayed released. I thought I broke it, but it was an easy fix. The articulating arms are thick and sturdy. This holder does not bounce or vibrate when driving.
