holds the phone no matter what
I bought this as I use two phones on a daily basis and need to be able to switch between them in the car. The fact that there are no side clamps is a big plus due to side button locations differing between devices. No matter what bumps i go over the phone stays stuck in place and doesn't move.
Good Vent Anchoring, terrible phone grip
I purchased this product concerned mostly about the anchoring system for the air vent, trusting that the innovative phone clinging system would work. Now that I have tried it, the vent anchoring system is excellent, but I can't imagine how any system which relies on surface tension and friction between two surfaces could be expected to work in the relatively harsh environment of a vent blowing refrigerated air. The phone (Xperia Z5C) stays attached for only 2 minutes at the very most, then just falls off. Cleaning makes no difference at all. It can't work, because the temperature change causes forced movement of one surface against the other during differential thermal contraction. This innovation has obviously not been sufficiently researched and tested in different environments before taking it to market, like many others. It is most likely that research testing has been carried out mostly in the climate of the product's native UK, where extent of air conditioning use is far lower than it is in Australia. One more product that is only suited to its home market, at least for now. Wasted my money.
Handy device, but beware vertical vents & phone cover users!
It works as advertised. However installing it on vertical vents (e.g. in a 370Z) requires a little fiddling, partially because the clips are designed to latch on horizontal vent. As you can imagine, with a vertical vent, the entire holder tends to slide down to the very bottom of the vent. Also if your phone cover design has uneven layers, as though it's been 'bejewelled/blinged', the holder tends to lose suction within 10 minutes. Best bet is to find a single layer phone cover or leave the phone bare.

pretty good
wanted somethibg that would suit both my wife and my very different phones. decided sticky over ckups would be best.
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!
I was tempted by this due to other, mainly positive, reviews. I should have saved my money.

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
Arrive on time, vent mount system very good, everything was perfect. I could use my phone, my wife's I-phone, my sat nav. The kids loved it as you could rotate the screen and stream movies when sat doing nothing in the car........It lasted a week.....stiky thing no longer stiky,device now in bin....it did not work as advertised.....I would not bother....
Not perfect but close
Bought this mount for my 2005 Megane, doesn't fit perfectly however. The 2 clips grab the vent louvers well but because of the upward angle of the heating vent the little supporting plastic piece on the back of the mount doesn't sit very well on the edge of the vent. I tucked this piece up outof the way and the mount works well without it. The range of movement is excellent (probably the best thing about the unit) and it holds its position really well at any angle or direction. The manual indictates that the mount shouldn't be used if you have a silicone or leather case on your device but the silicone case on my phone doesn't seem to cause a problem and it sticks just fine. Easy to remove from the mount as well by peeling to the side.

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
What a simple but so effective idea. Easy to set up and so easy to attach and detach the phone
Excellent Holder - Eventually
I have been looking for a decent holder for quite a while and the Clingo Universal Vent Mount Fits the bill.

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
Does exactly what it says - this small and neat device amazingly holds my heavy old satnav without a problem. Keeps it in position securely and without shaking or rattling. Have tried many alternatives to a window sucker, but this is the only one that works for me. Pleased to recommend this mount.
Sticky stuff!
Oh boy, this is really sticky! holds my phone with complete confidence, only thing is that I have to take out of my holder as it stuck so hard that I could hardly take it off. Once in place not easy to remove from vent so wouldn't recommend as one for switching between cars. Overall, i'm really pleased with it - I use it with my iphone4s.
Started off great...
When I first started using this product I thought it was fantastic. It fitted my Audi vents a treat, the iphone didnt slip off once. It was great. I even liked the green.

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
Its an elegant solution but there are 2 major problems.
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....
It is now a year since I brought this product. It fits well on the vent of my car (06 plate BMW 3 series).At first I had to give my Galaxy S a good press to stick it to the holder, which it did fall off a couple of times but not a big deal. However the item has now gone 'super sticky' which is good in one way as it is very easy to attach the phone, the downside is that it now leaves a residue on the back of the phone. This is very annoying and makes the phone messy to handle. As I use the holder 3 - 4 times per week for at least an hour each time it is irritating.
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.....
Fitted fine to my 08 Corsa, iPhone 4 sticks very easily, and once it's on, it stays stuck. Removing the phone is a bit trickier (even by 'peeling' as instructed). Does what it says on the tin though, good product!
Does what it says
Fits my Audi A3 great, does exactly what it says in the description.
For my VW
Excellent Products came very fast and is working for my iPhone 4 Excellent. I will buy it again.
Warning
This holder damages my HTC EVO 3D.
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!
At least my phone isn't sliding all over the place now!
Clingo
Bought this for my toyota yaris but unfortunately it didn't fit on the vents as they were to thick so I had to put it into my husbands car. The pad works well and my phone hasn't come off once even over bumps and gravel. Would recommend:-).
like diffrant idears
Well this is wacky
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
I bought the Clingo universal vent mount for my iPhone to fit in my Audi A6
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
"Universal" is overselling this,
It didn't fit in my Laguna 2
