iOttie Easy One Touch 4 Car & Desk Mount Phone Holder for iPhone XS / XS Max / XR / X / 8 / 8 Plus 7 / 7 Plus 6S/ 6S Plus 6 / 6 Plus 5s 5c, Samsung Galaxy

What we think: We love this mount. It's built tough, it's very well engineered, solidly constructed and adaptable. Once installed, snapping the phone in and out are both impressively easy. It holds your phone securely and releases it with one swift movement of your fingers: just hit the two buttons on the side and it's done. To mount your phone, just press it into the cradle and the mechanism snaps closed. Best and most easy to use design we've seen on any mount.

The suction pad is superb. Most pads are designed for the window and don't react well to bumps on the road. iOttie's sticky gel surface is what sets this mount apart from all the others. It is super grippy, it allows for mounting on a smooth surface (windshield) or a textured surface (car console). In fact, it is so grippy that the mount can hold the phone for a period of time even without activating the suction mechanism. The sticky gel surface can also be cleaned with a soapy solution and be as good as new.

There's no wobble, and you can do simple operations with the phone while it's in the holder. Plus, if needed you can snake a charger cable up through the gap in middle of the holder's foot underneath the phone.

The telescoping arm allows you to install this mount in many different places away from you and away from being a nuisance when you need a good sight of vision. Just adjust the arm forward to a comfortable length. This feature is very well thought out.

There is also an adjustable pivot arm and a pivot ball to set up the mount for optimal viewing. Once optimal position is obtained, there is a tightening mechanism that is tightened by hand without needing extra tools or coins. This tightening mechanism is super ergonomic. The adjustable "foot" allows for accommodation of bulky charging adapters and cables and it also accommodates for the different charging port designs.

With this new model, iOttie also included a nice little gem...it freely rotates between portrait and landscape, with no clamping down necessary! No need to lock it down, it just stays in the orientation you set it to.

We believe it's Australia's best iPhone / Samsung Galaxy / Google Pixel car mount. Safe, versatile, super functional car mount compatible with all smartphones on the market. Push the phone agains the mount, the locking mechanism automatically catches the phone, use the telescopic arm to bring the phone to the desired distance. Macfixit Australia Recommended.
