Great until it broke

This mount worked very nicely for me, holding my phone firmly in place regardless of the angle to which it was adjusted. Only in the most extreme changes of temperature did I experience any problem with the suction cup coming away from my windshield. Unfortunately, the mount broke one day last month. I attempted to contact the manufacturer, which claims to offer a two year warranty on all their products except those purchased on eBay or Amazon, due to counterfeiting. Multiple messages from me led to zero responses from them. I wrote to Drop to complain, and was offered no help, since according to the customer service representative at Drop, the fact that Drop purchased and resold the mounts effectively voided the warranty. How wonderful! Two absolute garbage companies that do not give a shit about their customers.

Solid suction. Not so solid plastic parts. Fully Functional for about 6-12 months.

The Good: The suction on this thing was amazing. Very solid hold without shakes or wobbles. The Bad: Cheap plastic internals. There are two springs inside the mount. One for each grip. Each spring is connected to 2 very small plastic posts. Springs themselves are good quality springs. Posts are not. One snapped off about 6 months in and I wasn't able to get a refund. Product was still half functional though. The next spring snapped the post after about 3 years. So technically this product could remain half functional for up to three years! I give this 2 stars since it broke pretty early on due to parts that are definitely going to break after normal use.

At first I thought, wow what a quality universal car mount for smartphones, but then as time went on (about 6-9 months) the left side of the clamp's spring gave out and died. I admit this was probably my fault for pulling it too far, but then just recently I had the phone snug in the mount with the right spring working just fine and then bam it failed while I was driving. My phone fell out and into the passenger foot area, while I was on a trip, so that really sucked. To my dismay, you can't order replacement parts for this item, but it feels like there should be replacement parts for it. The coupling where you attach the spring loaded arms (left/right) comes off, so it's a bit weird you can't replace it with like a... replacement part of the same item. It turns out you just have to buy a completely new one. It should technically be under warranty, but we'll see how that goes, even if I get it replaced I am not sure I would give it more than two stars due to the fact I imagine with light/medium use the new one will fail in relatively the same time frame. I don't know if I would recommend this item or not, its suction power is amazing, truly amazing. The spring clamp quality is deceptive because once it fails there is zero way to fix it at all, so you're left wondering what to do now with this paperweight.

I like the idea of this mount. The suction cup is good, and the mount grips the phone well. Unfortunately, when I use it with a google Pixel 3 phone, it is very easy to end up pinning the volume button in the mount, or else activating the active edge feature. I kind of thing this is more of a design problem with modern phones themselves--why can't they have power buttons on the top the way they used to. But it's an issue to be aware of when contemplating getting this mount.

Spring clamps have started to give out...it may break any day now. I question the durability of their springs. Fix this issue and I will buy another one. Btw I have an iPhone X with a cover. Update: the plastic that held the spring finally broke. So to fix this I super glued it back together. So far it’s holding up.

It took a while for me to figure out what surface would best hold the car mount - I settled on the windshield. I like having the phone where I can see it - mostly for when I need directions. It adjusted to my phone easily, and even when I pivoted the phone to get the best view the mounting did not come loose.

It actually sticks!!! We have an outback and the dash is just slightly textured. Just enough till a normal suction cup won't work. This works perfectly.

I'm very happy I purchased this mount. It's rock-solid on the windshield. It's small enough to easily fit in any center console. It doesn't require any fiddling to securely hold various sized devices (you can even insert a device one-handed by tipping it in edge-wise and pushing against the spring clamp until it fits). In short, the mount is very well designed and worth every penny.
Note to those who've had suction cup failures: I live in boiling Arizona - I always remove the mount when not in use. I've had devices bake onto windshields before. No plastic on earth will withstand UV forever. Yeah, it's a hassle, but not a problem specific to the Montar mount!
