AP12T Universal Car Mount

I was put off by the 'sticky-out' levers that you use to release the clamps. But having decided to give it a go, I'm so glad I did as they don't obtrude anywhere near as much in real life as it looks in the listing and, more pertinently, they actually work very well indeed. The phone is held securely, it's easy to insert and easier still to remove. And no annoying rattles from cheap spring mechanisms. I have it installed on my windscreen and it has gripped securely since day one (about 2 weeks ago) and hardly wobbles around at all when driving - nice and solid. Well worth the extra money and I'm so glad I chose this premium product. The listing shows it closed without a phone inserted, it doesn't look as horrible when it's actually not in use and waiting for a phone as the 'sticky-out' levers are pushed in and closed up - see my first picture, why they didn't put one like that in their listing is anyone's guess. Second picture shows it at a nice length and easy to get to phone screen with an outstretched finger from the steering wheel (when I'm stationary only, of course).

Finally a long term review. I've had this mount since 2017 and used it quite a lot for the first year and a half. It's incredibly sturdy and always remained attached to the windscreen. Vibration through the mount was also very minimal as long as you've tightened all the knobs. The main issue I had with it is that pressing my phone against the back doesn't always trigger both arms, and sometimes requires a few goes. The knob on the rear of the mount can also be quite tricky to undo because there's not much to hold onto. I decided to write this review because after a year of not using the mount the sticky surface became covered in dust. This was my mistake. And while it probably would still work okay it's obviously diminished from the original surface. However I managed to fix this by pouring a layer of PVA glue onto the upright pad and letting it set. Miraculously after peeling the glue back the next day it removed all the dust and the surface is very sticky once more.

One of the better mounts I've used, this was bought for a road trip around France and Italy, not knowing i our rental car would have satnav or not. The suction was great, maybe a little too good as it left a ring on the dashboard - oops! Having the arm extend out to be closer is a plus point on this unit, it just make everything a bit easier to see. One small downside to that is being further away from the anchor point, it does tend to wobble a bit more on uneven roads. The "snap" connection, pushing your phone into the mount against a button and it snapping like jaws on the phone, grasping it tight filled with confidence right away. It was more than happy with the size of my iPhone 7 plus, I never once worried it was going to let go. Aided by the quick release buttons by squeezing just being the phone is very natural, the hole process makes mounting and mounting very seamless. I really recommend this mount. Pros - Great suction mount for either windscreen or dashboard - High quality materials, build quality is very good - Intuitive phone mount system Cons - Suction can leave marks on dashboard material due to semi-adhesive suction cup and strong vacuum created when mounted - Wobbles a little bit when extended

Having trusted and used Spigen for their phone cases before, I was confident their car mount would be of good quality too. Also coming highly recommended in both professional and public reviews helped me to make my choice. I have the Galaxy S8 and bought this mount in order to use it as a dashcam + navigation. The Kuel performs well; holding the phone securely, doesn't obstruct the camera lens and is easy to lock and unlock the phone holding mechanism. The adhesive gel pad coupled with the lever arm seems to be holding well so far on my dashboard. I plan to permanently leave it in place so only time will tell if UV changes it's properties or the stickiness naturally wears off under road conditions. Whilst driving, potholes and uneven roads do tend to cause small vibrations and wobble through the mount - i.e there is no stabilisation built in but that is to be expected with it's impressively low cost for the quality. The resultant footage is still smooth with no noticeably annoying jitter... this could be in part due to some image stabilisation on the S8 so your mileage with other phones may vary. The part that holds the phone is padded enough with a soft material so as to not mark or damage. This mount is not perfect though - it suits my needs as a dashcam perfectly fine (that I rarely move), however If using as a simple sat nav and/or entertainment, you may want to be able to quickly and easily move the 'head' freely. With the current design, the plastic nut needs to be unscrewed, the head adjusted, then the nut done back up tight again.. all effectively blind and in reverse when the mount is stuck to the dash and facing you! My Garmin sat nav mount, as an representative example, has a metal reinforment in the ball joint, so you can freely move the unit around whilst in use and angle any way you like. The Garmin probably weighs more than my S8 so this cannot be the reasoning for not reinforcing the joint. The Garmin mount is quite simple and similar and has lasted effectively like this for me for years. Overall I am happy with the Kuel and it does it's job... just could be a tiny bit better to make it perfectly easy to use.

Heel stabiel!

Very happy with this car mount from Spigen. As always, I am always impressed by the quality and well thought out design of Spigen products, this car mount is no exception. It locks securely onto the dash of my 2015 Corolla which has a textured plastic to look like leather. Despite it not being a smooth surface I had no problems getting the gel suction to adhere to it. The 3 adjustment areas are all easy to configure and easy to lock into place with twist screws. You can turn the part that holds your phone to do portrait or landscape mounting, there is an arm that extends to bring it a few inches closer to you if you desire and there is a pivot point near the base to raise it up or down. You can easily mount your phone into it with one hand and remove it with one hand as well (though I'd probably use two hands to make sure it doesn't get dropped when removing it). Also what you might not realize is you can flip the whole thing over at the bottom pivot point so that it extends very low and close to the dash (or whatever you're mounting it to). This is how I have it configured it my car as you can see in my attached photos. I will add some photos of it with a phone mounted in it later, when I took the ones below I only had one phone on me at the time. Great mount, very pleased with the quality, well worth the $27.99 I paid.

je me suis toujours demandé pourquoi les fabricants de téléphones font de si beaux objets, par contre sur le domaine des supports téléphones pour voiture c’est champ libre aux mauvais produits made in china de piètre qualité. Ce Spigen est enfin autre chose, un produit bien étudié, d’abord il se fixe bien sur le tableau de bord avec sa ventouse (mais aussi sur le pare brise si besoin) aidée d’une couche adhésive. Ensuite, le bras est fait de sorte qu’il puisse se plier pour prendre un minimum de place et gêner le moins la vision. enfin il tient bien mon smartphone et meme l’iphone 7 plus de mon épouse, que ce soit en position horizontale ou verticale. Et magique, on peut fixer le telephone en utilisant une seule main car il suffit d'écarter les machoires en appuyant simultanément sur les 2 petits "bras" (le systeme est bien étudié, pas besoin de force). Puis on poste le telephone sur la surface offerte, le telephone vient appuyer sur le bouton qui se trouve au milieu de cette surface et déclenche ainsi le relachement des ressorts et la fermeture des "machoires" qui tiennent le telephone par les deux côtés. Point positif : - Bel objet bien étudié, beau design - Pas besoin d'ajouter un morceau de métal derriere le téléphone comme les systèmes par magnétismes - Utilisation une main : pas comme les systèmes ou on écarte les machoires manuellement avec une main et avec l'autre main on met le téléphone au milieu ... une vraie catastrophe ! - S'adapte sur quasiment toutes les voitures : soit en le fixant sur le pare brise, soit sur le tableau de bord. Pas comme le systeme ou on fixe le support sur les grilles d'aeration du véhicule et au moindre secousse (dos d'âne ...) l'ensemble support + téléphone tombe ... Point négatif possible : - La ventouse est adhésive, cela veut dire que une fois on l'a fixé quelque part on a intérêt a ne plus changer de place ... Je compte acheter un autre pour équiper mon autre voiture.

Ik heb deze houder nu al meer dan een jaar en hij is nog steeds goed! In het begin is het even uitzoeken maar als je m in de goede houding hebt staan dan hoef je er eigenlijk niet meer naar om te kijken. Ik heb voor deze houder gekozen omdat hij zo makkelijk is in het gebruik. Je telefoon gaat er gemakkelijk in en uit. En blijft goed zitten tijdens de rit. Het schud ook veel minder dan andere houders dus dat is een pro. Ik heb er met een grote en kleinere telefoon mee gereden. Alle voormaten en merken passen er in. Zelfs een telefoon met een mega groot scherm past. Kortom een topproduct!
