Good Vent Anchoring, terrible phone grip
Handy device, but beware vertical vents & phone cover users!
Handy device, but beware vertical vents & phone cover users!
pretty good
have used it in two cars for a couple of weeks and find it works brilliantly.
the clips work better in one car over another, but still attaches fine. only negatives I can say are first that it sticks on a bit too tightly so I need two uands to peel the phone off, and second is that the vent clips dont hold tight enough for how firm the phone is stuck. if I am not careful I pull the whole mount off instead of the phone.
still, is heaps better than it falling on the floor.
I was nervous about vent mount, but it is in the perfect spot for accessing phone and having charger and audio cables pkugged in without getting in way. Can still feel aircon okay, but will see how much air is blocked when summer hits and temps hit over 40.
overall very happy so far.

Sounds too good to be true.....and it is!
It fitted to my cars air vents ok, but was still a little less and prone to wobble and a quick test drive around the block looked promising. However later that day on a 3hr drive along mainly smooth and fast flowing A roads it failed to hold the phone causing it to fall half a dozen times.
The bracket held the phone at around a 25 degree angle (slightly tilted back from vertical) and the sticky pad was clearly not up to this.
The next day, in stop start town driving it refused to hold the phone securely for more than 5 or 10 minutes.
On day three it was removed from the car.
So near and yet so far
Not perfect but close
I ordered this mount along with a car charger and both were delivered within 2 days, very good service I must say.
Excellent piece of kit
Excellent Holder - Eventually
There are a couple of things to keep in mind - it might just be my plastic casing, but it doesn't grip very well to the Clingos gluey surface (even after running water on it - the glue not the phone). If I take the cover off, it works like a charm - something to think about. It might just be the cover I for my iPhone.
The air vents in my 60 plate Astra are a bit fiddly and took some messing to get the Clingo to fit in correctly - it does work and now I'm really pleased with it, you might just need a little patience.
All in all, great product and use it every time I'm in the car - even if I have to take the phone out of its case first.
A Real Clingon
Sticky stuff!
Started off great...
BUT..... after a month or so the sticky surface began to get more and more and more sticky! I thought the opposite would happen.
In the end I had to stop use it since it became so sticky that I couldnt physically detach it!
Heat Issues
1) the ball can work loose over time; mine took 6 months or so
2) Beware of parking in the sun. The heat changes the sticky properties of the green compound making it more sticky but leaving a residue that can become very annoying. A couple of weeks after I first noticed this the product was rendered unusable.
Super sticky over time....
I am disappointed that the Clingo was only really useful for a year. As other reviewers have said the ball joint works loose quite quickly and I found myself adjusting the phone quite often to see it when using the sat nav features.
On the plus side, the Clingo is quite an elegant solution (I am referring to the shapes and size rather than the colour!!) as far as in car phone holders go.
I am now in the market for a new holder.
Stickier than Sticky the Stick Insect.....
Does what it says
For my VW
Warning
Cover of camera and flash light was bonded on holder and during unglue of cover I broken it.
This holder should be fine for devices with "one-piece" back cover.
Just what I needed!
Clingo
like diffrant idears
does what it says on box, but one thing I would add is this
if your phone is not flat at the back, like my Samsung sll, the phone wont stick well as not all the phone touches, if they made the green area thicker slightly it would catch all the phone, saying that, it holds my old iphone with back up battery fine,
Works great
It fitted well and the phone sticks very well. It sticks too well at first but there is a knack to removing your phone which you get used to easily (peel from one corner).
I always stick the label back on the gel when not in use - lasts longer that way.
It never drops the phone - excellent product.
Didn't fit My Laguna
It didn't fit in my Laguna 2
