Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington Power Port Car Mount for iPhone and iPod
Customer Review: Holds iPhone where you want it; easy in-and-out.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my second holder of this exact model which says two things: 1) something happened such that I need to replace my first unit and 2) I liked it enough to buy a second. Let's talk first about its warts. After two years of very heavy use an internal plastic pivot rod broke thereby preventing the jaw from locking into a clenched position to hold my phone. Also, the clamp assembly slides into a notch to be mounted on the stem which isn't usually an issue but if you twist it to landscape it can slide off. Lastly, since it mounts in a cigarette lighter socket it's not the steadiest of car mounts. So why do I like it so much if it had these problems? First, the slightly sloshy socket mount simply didn't bother me nor did the possibility of it sliding off its mount. Too ridged a mount and I'd have worried about breaking it; twisting just shy of horizontal meant it never slipped off. Lastly, it's entitled to break after two years of heavy daily use when I only paid $15 for the unit.
This car mount for my iPhone is used in a 2007 Camry where I plug it into the 12-volt socket in my armrest. Access to my stereo plug and in-dash 12-volt socket are handy. The adjustable arm and head allow me to position it just to my liking. I can have it at a comfortable distance and at an angle which doesn't reflect light from my sun roof. When I want to type something long then I can quickly pivot the head to reveal the landscape keyboard of my phone. Best of all, however, is the excellent head unit. This padded jaw is fast to clamp down on my phone, holds it very securely, and is quick to open with a button push on back so I can take it with me as I jump out of the car. I spend a lot of time traveling on road trips and am constantly getting out of my car to visit a museum, take pictures, or just walk around. I'm not about to leave my iPhone in plain view so taking it with me is important and this Kensington phone mount makes that easy.
Buying a replacement was an easy decision for this excellent product.
