However, I purchased it on March 17th and it's already fallen apart - the plastic has completely disintegrated on the windshield mount where the angle adjustment knob attaches and the phone no longer stays in place. The air vent component still works, but it doesn't sit very well in my car and blocks the air vent completely (I'm using it with an iPhone) I can return it to the company for a replacement for $9 plus shipping - I only paid $15 for it at Amazon so that seems crazy.
They're still soft enough to provide a good grip without being too tight. The push button release for the ratcheting arms is quick and easy to use, and so far hasn't released unprompted. It's a great product for the price. It fits my HTC EVO well with one slight problem. When I decided to give my phone a break, my friend put his sprint Evo 4g in and it worked perfectly with that also. The swivel allowed the driver and the passenger to both use it pretty easily. The vent also has to point right AT the mount, not to the sides, so DO NOT run your heat through that vent with a phone mounted in the cradle. Once you mount this, you cannot control the angle of the vents. Amazon promptly sent another one out, and it arrived within 24 hours. I am very happy with this product. I drive for a living and I'm in and out of my car all day every day. This little sucker holds up to some major wear and tear.
I've had it stuck there ever since I bought it and it hasn't fallen once. It's been through cold weather, hot weather up to 100 degrees and it is still there.
With the tubing in place, the mount is rock solid in the vent, and the X is rock solid in the mount, even on bumpy dirt mountain fire roads. I would buy again in an instant. I use this with my HTC EVO 4G phone and it works pretty well. No real complaints other than when it is connected to the air vents (2010 Kia Forte); it makes an annoying rattling sound.
Another review stated that it 'just worked' with the Incredible. I have NO idea what that means because it will hold this phone and much larger as well. I had to cut a small plastic wedge to keep my vent from changing directions but this is minor and not the fault of the Arkon mount at all. I picked this up based up recommendations from other reviewers who said it would work with the Droid X - it absolutely does. Was just what I was hoping it would be. Bought this for my Droid Incredible and I must say, this is indeed "INCREDIBLE".
Even though it's made of plastic, it is nice and rugged and doesn't give you the feeling of being 'cheap'. A great buy that I highly recommend!
I don't use the suction cup part of it so I can't comment on that (I think sticking things to my window will make it look ugly and tacky).
