APPS2Car for Sturdy iPad Holder for Car CD Slot Tablet Mount, 2-in-1 Universal 4.7-11" Holder for iPad Pro 11 Air Mini, iPhone, Galaxy Z Fold, Adjustable 360° Rotation, Road Trip Essentials

Works great in my Nissan Titan work truck. It has the Rockford fisheye system, with nav., etc., which means no CarPlay or Android functions. This allowed me to use an old iPad mini 4 we had laying around, as my audio/video player. This thing is super sturdy and hasn’t budged an inch! Only down side to first version is the way that you have to mount and dismount it. Sucks if you’re going to remove your device daily.

Good, solid construction, with CD-mounting being way, way more secure than vents or dash. Strong plastic with cool rubberized finish. One arm has a tight ratchet system that I usually cant adjust without taking it off. The other is spring-loaded and slides up an inch or two to place or remove the device. Great price for something big enough for a tablet. I've ended up using it for my phone because it was so much easier in and out than the darned vent mount wireless charger I also bought. It rotates the full 90* for landscape/portrait. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S8+. It's almost too small for this holder. I have to flip it that quarter turn (so the side braces are holding the top and bottom) to get it to fit. Still smoothly rotates and adjusts the angle some (not a lot of movement there). Feels solid and smooth doing so. Since I threw out the wireless charger, I just feed the USB2.0 cord up through the hole (in the side arm, that is now on the bottom and in the way), and plug it into my phone before putting it in the holder. Considering the holder I got for my phone for about the same amount of money, this one was definitely a good buy.

I have just recently upgraded my phone to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and my little Pop Socket vent clip holder wasn’t going to hold up under the weight of this phone.There is a lot of phone holders that would work for my new phone but the price is twice that of this holder, which is something I didn’t want to commit to. Plus reading reviews made it seem like it wouldn’t be worth it.THIS holder was in the price range I’m okay with AND the almost 2k reviews are mostly positive. PLUS it’s a CD player insert, something I don’t use and actually had to search for to even find it (lol) and it would be out of the way of my AC vents and my backup camera/radio screen that I need. Win-win.It was easy to assemble the pieces together and easy to slip into the CD player BUT…the screw in the back that tightens the grip into the CD player was pressing a button on my radio that sits right behind it. This is a radio specific problem, but that is a button that I need to use for Bluetooth and it also allows me to hang up on blue tooth calls, which happened. I was on a call and it kept ending because of the screw.Thankfully my husband solved this problem by flipping the entire holder upside down so that the screw is now facing my AC buttons, but not pressing them, and those buttons are something that aren’t typically messed with.I suggest the design of the screw change to something that doesn’t protrude out and get in the way of the radio.I did notice that the instructions did inform that the holder can be flipped if the screw is in the way but I don’t think that should be the only solution. The screw should have a design change.Another complaint I have is something I’ve seen another reviewer mention and that is the side buttons that open and close the arms that grip the phone. They are a pain to press in general, never mind when the phone is on the holder and you have to reach your fingers behind the phone to squeeze these things. The more expensive holders have the automatic mechanical arms that open and close when it senses the phone etc. this holder doesn’t need to be so fancy, but it should be more user friendly to get the phone in and out of the holder without hurting your fingers.The top arm does lift up to make it a bit easier, but those buttons are something that still need to be used.So now that I got the negative out of the way, the positives are there too, don’t worry, lol.When the holder is screwed in the CD player it is solid and secure and there is no swaying or risk of falling out. It jiggles when going over bumps, but it’s suspended in the air so it’s to be expected.I like that the arms move to all sorts of angles to make it easier position the screen to what’s comfortable for you.The arms themselves have a good grip on the phone so I feel confident it won’t fall out.I can hold my phone in the closed and full screen position. I like to watch C dramas while sitting in the parent pick up line at my kid’s school and I can go hands free while reclining for an hour, so that’s a nice luxury.My husband likes it so much that I ordered one for his car and I know that will get a lot of use since he plays music while on his hour drive to work.Overall, it has its flaws that should be reworked to make it easier to use, but the concept is great and the holder itself is solid and has a strong grip on the CD player and the phone itself.It isn’t wide enough to hold my 11 inch iPad, I didn’t think it would be, but it works great for my Galaxy Fold in both positions. For $20, it’s worth the money.

Easy to install, flexible and serve the purpose!

I've had this for a few years now and still use it, even occasionally swapping it from vehicle to vehicle. The tightening bolt is easy to use, creates a snug fit, and can support a decent amount of weight. It worked on my small android phone all the way up to my large Samsung tablet. Has been a very useful device.
