The problem for some would be that the clam shell obstructs your ability to adjust the volume via the buttons on the side of the phone. For some audio, you still have to do a dance between the phone volume and stereo volume in order to get the best sound.

I've had that exact Beam one for years. Did hundreds of miles of driving doing food deliveries and its still going. The only issues I've noticed is that the gripping arm that holds onto the vent slat is loose now. Its lasted years so well worth it in my book. Gonna prob buy a new one soon.

Another great tape is "Gorilla Tape". If you put a strip on your back, I swear you could mount yourself to the side of the Eiffel Tower and hang there for at least 20 years LOL --- Very powerful and doesn't leave marks when removed. I have struggled for so long to find a good phone mount for my Firebird. Definitely wouldn't have ever gotten the cup holder... agree with others that it's dangerous but also I only have 1 cup holder in front. However, they do have the cup holders you can hang on the side of your window but you'd hit it over and over again and knock it down, etc. The clam shell would be fine if 1) you place it where you want it for the duration of the time you have your vehicle and hoping it does stay in tact that long but also because you can use the gorilla tape to reattach if needed. However, I don't like my phone turned sideways when using my GPS which is the reason we obviously need the phone mount in the first place. I think I am going to try the suction cup also and probably play around with where to put it where it's least distracting from the road. That has been my biggest fear just as hanging things from my mirror that are "too big" or swing around causing distraction. I appreciate your video so much and have found it quite helpful and ready to find the suction cup today hopefully! Have Safe travels and many Blessings Everyone!

I do ride share as a side job, so my mount is very important to me.

I've had the same window mount for almost 3 years in TX. It's one of the magnetic ones and love it. It's nice being able to just stick my phone to the mount without worrying about adjusting the holder.

I went from the vent holder, which worked well in my old crv, to a suction cup one in my new crv. They sell little discs that you stick to your dash, then attach the suction cup thing onto the disc. It holds it on great, especially if you have a more textured dash. Not covering a vent in the car is a plus, too.

Four years and counting, hasn't fallen off yet. Meanwhile... the Logitech +Drive magnetic mount, which still attaches to the windshield using a suction cup.... falls off every time it gets hot, OR cold. Grr.. About to gorilla tape that shit to the windshield too.

They make holders specifically for pop sockets and ring holders (check on Amazon). I had a cd-slot pop socket holder back in the day. Only reason I stopped using it is because I got a new phone case that the pop sockets refused to adhere to, no fault with the holder. Decided I'm done messing with glues and suction cups, and switch to a magnetic mount (metal plate hides nicely under the phone case, and the tiny magnet mount barely blocks the air vent). I think the magnetic mounts work with ring holders too (if they're metal, of course).

Wow! Thank you for actually "jumping right into it" instead of saying it without doing it. Great review, and I subd

Those always slip off for me. Especially if I have the air on.

Like you mentioned about the vent mounted holder at the very end of the video: in the winter, when you have to turn on the heat to stay alive while driving, your phone has the risk of overheating because the hot air from the vent is pushing right on the phone. This problem may be inherent to my vehicle (or type of vehicle) and where I decided to place my vent mount. I have a 2018 RAV4, and I chose to mount on the left vent on the driver side. This vent does not turn off even if you change the output of the air. You have to literally close the vents to close the airflow. When you close the vents, there’s nowhere to place the mount. If I place the mount on one of the center vents, my phone will block the entire infotainment system. I can’t wait to buy the clamshell mount (so long as I place it and never remove it). Thank you for the work you do. So far, your reviews have saved me hundreds of dollars.

My best solution has been using a tripod mount for a phone (threaded thumbscrew to tighten it in) on a go-pro sticky mount with 3-axis rotation. Costs about $15 to make and it's solid as a rock. Does require two hands to put it in there though (I just put it in when I get in the car or at a stop light if I forget.)

I don't like blocking my vents or my windshield so I've been using a magnetic mount 3M taped to my dash for over a year without fail 🤷‍♂️

cat W the magnetic mount will only work if there’s a thin piece of metal either attached to your phone, the inside of your case or the outside of your case if your case is too thick.

I’ve not experienced any issues with my phone using the magnetic mount in my car and the phone with the little metal plate does nothing in your purse or pocket.

I live in Sacramento, and tried a dash mount holder one summer in the early afternoon. Within 20 minutes, the phone got so hot it wouldn't take a charge anymore. I've used a vent mount ever since.

Not to mention if you mount it on your windshield in California you WILL get pulled over and WILL get cited. Because you know they have nothing else going on in California that is a higher priority.

@@cgbrewer12 if you put it low enough on the windshield they wont pull you over. Most people stick them uphigh on the window cause they are morons.

3:08 That holder is meant for Sunvisors but advertised as if it were for dash. I use it on the second phone and the passenger side. Love it. Mophie at apple is the best and charges your phone wirelessly. I have 4 of those.

I recommend the dodocool 10w fast wireless charger car mount. I have the original first model, and it's great not having to plug the phone in to charge. Both the suction cup, and air vent mount work great. The newer one has the self clamping mechanism on it now.

"Don't mind horizontal" Why would I mind the correct way to position it? 🤔 Vertical is awful for GPS, and GPS is the only reason to have your phone out. Otherwise, put it in your pocket and focus on the road.

If you use Google Maps vertical is better to see more road ahead and have more info below.

There is no correct way with preferences. Google maps is better vertical and so is the music player, which is another reason to use the phone in the car nowdays. Not everyone is irresponsible.

That cup holder mount is so against the law it isn't even funny! That's a big distracted while driving ticket! And the idea of the driver looking that far down while 'driving' is absolutely terrifying to think people use it. Hate it!

This would work in my 2002 Subaru because my cup holder is really high on my dashboard. Hate the cup holder but in this case probably work with this phone holder.

I think the ones against the law would be the window suction cup. Especially with a phone they block your view.

Thanks for the awesome review!

Just ordered the window suction cup one! Can't wait to use it. Thanks for the great review!

how was it? i really want that one but ive heard that it doesn’t last

The cup holder one is very bad because you take your eyes completely off the road. I am sure it has caused more accidents than all the others combined.

I used to have a phone mount that had a similar attachment mechanism to that clamshell mount (although it was much cheaper -- basically just a rubber sheet with a lip around the outside and a groove in the middle to hold your phone upright). I actually really liked that one while it lasted, but eventually the rubber started disintegrating in the heat and turned into goo.

This review is so practical! Thx

I have two of the " Topgo " holders for years ....they are Outstanding !

Good video, very informative! I'm surprised by the clam shell one. Too bad you didn't try one of the magnetic vent mounts. I use that one and I've never run into any issues.

Thanks for the great review! I dont see the clamshell one staying put in our hot cars during summer here in Vegas. I'd like to see how the suction cup one holds up in the Vegas summer too.

I like at 20:25 the man walking his dog look in thought the car at camera like wtf is that guy filming his self 😂😂😂😂

Great comparison. Thank you!

Love your review videos!❤️

thanks, i needed a review on this. i just got the window mount one.

Phone mounts should provide a safe and simple way to make calls, that's why magnetic phone mounts are the best!

Dude, Amazon should legit have this video showing up on top of the list when people search car mounts. Thorough af!
