I stuck this mount to my wall just to test it and it was impossible to remove even with the suction lever disengaged. It ended up tearing a chunk of paint from the wall. So a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.

Concerned about the many comments on amazon reviews regarding a design flaw of this product, shown clearly in the attached pic from a very recent review (problem apparently not fixed by mfg yet?)

Read reviews about it on Amazon. Many has problems with the spring mechanism. Has WinnerGear solved the issue and what is the warranty like ?

Today I used the suction cup to mount it to the plastic textured dash of my 2008 Dodge Caliber (it has a raised bumpy miniature triangle pattern). Once mounted it seemed pretty stable. I wiggled it back and forth to see if it would budge and it didn't. I drove into town with my Samsung Galaxy S7 in it and it did fine. From my observations I don't anticipate this thing becoming dislodged any time soon.
As far as the grip on the phone the jaws have a pretty good clamping pressure, which to me is good, I don't need my phone flying out of this thing if I hit a pothole. I had no trouble popping my phone in and out once I tightened the circular piece to lock it in place.
So in summary I am satisfied with my purchase.

Pros: This thing is awesome. I have been using it for a year and 3 months in FL. It is sturdy, the windshield is more likely to fall out of the car before this does. I have switched cars (rentals) and the adhesive gel in the suction cup does not lose its hold. It's like pulling off an octopus tentacle. If the gel gets dirty, just wash with water. I have a Samsung 8+ (prior a Samsung Note 4) which has some girth (add to it the case protector) and it becomes a challenge to insert the phone since it requires me to pull both mounting arms out. The phone is mounted landscape to utilize the full screen for Waze. I inserted the phone on the bottom arm, pulled a bit down, pushed the top arm with my fingers to make room, then slipped the phone in.
Which brings me to the cons. Unfortunately due to having to force both arms out and both springs being under extreme strain, the top mounting arm's spring broke. Regardless, the phone's girth helps it to stay in place with the lower working arm so I am still able to use it without any problem, in fact it is easier to insert into the mount. The rubber ridges on the mounting arms keeps it sturdy.
I am a little disappointed with the breaking of the spring (1 1/4 years later), but by far this is still the best mount I have ever purchased. Size does matter and although the specs may say it will hold phones up to certain dimensions, it does so under extreme duress on the springs. I found this to be true with the other mounts I have purchased in the past, however they failed in less time. With phones getting bigger everyday, I would definitely purchase another Montar, but I will make sure that it will have the capability of holding a phone much bigger than mine.

SylentRyderMy mount finally "died" after over 2 years use. The suction cup ripped when I tried to remove it from my car to put into a rental car. Mea culpa, it isn't made to be removed/installed multiple times (40+) over its lifetime. Mechanically everything is the same as my last comment, one broken spring. I read in the comments someone suggesting to remove it from the windshield when not in use. With the goop that enhances the adhesion of the suction cup to the windshield, it would be a messy hassle. I left mine on the windshield always (unless I needed it on a rental). If I could find a replacement suction cup it would be back on my windshield for another year+ or at least until the other spring broke. I am planning to buy another when it comes on sale.

Been using this for the last few months in both my cars and it's been working great with our iPhone 7 PLUS so far! Suction is pretty solid. My one concern was the grip and suction holding up when making hard turns in my Lancer Evolution IX with the windows open. I can say i still have my phone in one piece :)

I have had this mount for a while (I got it 2 or 3 drops back) and haven't experienced any problems with it, but there are a few important things to note about the way I use it. 1.) I don't use it every time I get in my car, only every time I use my phone for driving navigation, which isn't all that often. 2.) My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7, which isn't the biggest phone around and doesn't seem to stretch the jaws of the mount too far. 3.) I haven't removed it from my dashboard since I first put it there, so I can't comment on how it fares with multiple mountings.
If mine breaks as is depicted in the picture below I will mention it back here, but I don't anticipate that happening any time soon.

rhenomThe reviews I've read are all really good with a select few bringing up the spring load issue. The one variable we don't know is how it's being used. For all we know it was man handled. On another note I read that this issue was addressed. It would be nice to see a comparison between an old and revised model.
