I purchased an IPOW previously which was very good but I had also purchased this one
I purchased an IPOW previously which was very good but I had also purchased this one, the Bestrix CD slot one as I was intrigued with the CD slot mount vs the AC vent. I feel as if this is the best mount for the following reasons: 1) it's the surdiest hold. I have a iPhone 6S and like the horizontal view. This mount allows for that and doesn't budge despite bumpy driving. The IPOW is equal on the vertical hold as this mount but horizontally, it does not hold up firm being tied to the AC vent. the screen always dips downward when going over bumps but not the Bestrix. 2) The button to widen the arm clasps functions a tad smoother and sturdier than the Ipow when removing your phone. 3) Being in the CD slot, my phone is perfectly centered. That slight distance closer to me makes a positive difference for ease of accessing my phone screen. 4) it comes in dark, or black color so it's more discreet, plus it just looks like it came with the car. 5) Lastly the owner wrote me after my purchase sincerely asking for feedback, which I felt was a nice touch. I had told her she should make a Youtube video on how to installl since it comes with no instructions. That said, the install was intuitive and it is the best in the market. Lastly, someone said they didn't like that it didn't have a padded backing... I don't find this to be a con. It is some sort of fabric material, plus my phone is in a case so that is moot anyways to me. I'm going to buy a couple and give away as Christmas gifts. But, I've had 3 different types of phone mounts and this one is the best. **UPDATE** I feel an obligation to the owner to correct my mis-statement... I received an email with very clear instructions but I missed it... Note, even with what I thought was a product with missing instructions, I still gave this 5 stars and with my error, would give them 6 stars now if I could. Please accept my apologies Nina. One thing I can tell with this developer, is they care about their customer's experience. Good luck amazon Shoppers!
