Cup Phone Holder for Car [Upgraded Adjustable Gooseneck & Firmly Stable] Car Phone Mount Cell Phone Automobile Cradles for iPhone 16and All 4-7 inches Smartphone(Black)

I have a Samsung 9 Plus with a thick Otterbox case. I searched everwhere to find a car cup phone holder that would have deep enough clasps to hold my phone with the case. The other attribute I wanted was a tall gooseneck that would allow me to position the phone as high as possible to be able to more easily glance at google maps when driving. This fit the bill perfectly! It fits the cup holder securely with a simple twist, the gooseneck is flexible but sturdy, and the adjustable clasps are the right size to secure my XL phone. In a sea of junky products it's great to find something that seems to be designed with real situations in mind, not just a product that sounds good but "almost" works. Sincere thanks for solving my problem at a reasonable price!!I will share a tip if someone runs into the same situation I had... when I tried to slide the phone holder into the gooseneck, I could not get it to go no matter how hard I pushed. I was ready to return it thinking I just purchased another piece of low quality junk from the internet when I thought of one thing to try before I gave up. I put the tiniest bit of hand cream on each of the four plastic hooks and tried again. They slid into the notches with ease! Very secure!Update: Well, I"ve only had it for about a month and the top part fell out of the gooseneck when I tried to slide my phone out. I realized two of the plastic prongs / hooks have snapped off! So, in the end it's just another piece of junk from the internet! Very disappointed!

I had an expensive RAM suction cup mounted phone holder but it kept falling off the window, especially in the summer when the window is hot. This was dangerous because when the phone and holder dropped on the floor, the charging cord pulled out of it and dropped onto the base of the steering wheel and got trapped there. I couldn't safely retrieve it while driving. If I turned the steering wheel, it then got wrapped up in the base. One time I almost couldn't get it out of the base. I have to charge my phone while driving as it's old and the only way to route the cord to the phone was above the steering wheel to the side window where I had to put the phone to avoid interfering with my car's Eyesight system on the windshield. I'm explaining all this to show that I was rather desperate for a better, safer solution. The dash and air vent mount products didn't seem like they would work well in my car. Then I found this solution, that goes in the cup holder. While I don't like giving up a cup holder, I need to safely mount my phone in the car to use the navigation on it. This screwed in very securely to the cup holder and was easy to screw. The only difficulty with installation was I couldn't get the phone holder piece to securely snap onto the gooseneck. It kept sliding off and I couldn't figure out how to make it "click". My husband finally got that figured out. Once it was securely snapped on, the holder works great. When the phone is mounted, it does wobble some since it's on a gooseneck, but that doesn't interfere with usage. And being in a cupholder at the center of the car puts my phone close to the charging port, so I don't have to route the cable very far. I also really like how easy it is to put the phone in and out of the holder, much easier than my RAM mount and more secure. The RAM mount had an X-configuration of arms with rubber tips and the rubber tips kept working their way off the arms, causing the phone to pop out of it, even when I glued the tips. My only concern is whether this product will last, since it feels rather cheap. But it's not terribly expensive so I can always replace it if it breaks. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone. Just make sure to measure your cupholder so you know it will fit properly.

The phone holder fits easily into cup holders. I tried it in several vehicles and had no issue at all - very simple to install and remove. This model also easily holds a phone in a protective case (I have a very thick case for my iPhone 7, with a pop socket too). My phone fits snug and secure. I also tried an iPhone 11 with no case and an I phone SE (which is considerably smaller in dimension that the 7 or 11) with no case and they both fit securely as well.The issue is the part that holds the phone doesn't connect securely to the gooseneck. It 'clicks' in but if you bump it with your hand or something (for me - it's the water bottle from the adjacent cup holder), it will fall off. I am considering gluing it in place to resolve the issue - but it seems like that connection should be much more secure
