Plus now there are no concerns about finding a nonobtrusive place to mount it. The swivel head allows both driver and passenger to see my phone Galaxy S3 with no trouble. Holds my phone well better then expected. I am returning the items for a full refund.. NOT satisfied.. This is the worst thing EVER!!! The only good thing is that it does stay on the window. The phone, however, is another story! It stays on the device for about 30 seconds and then falls off I bought this a year or more ago and got 2 for one!!!
Works great for older vehicles when hands free talking is needed. This is works great. The only issue I had was my phone had a thin backing which came unattached and my phone crashed down to the floor of my van, which then needed some major repairs.
The GripGo itself was still holding the phone backing so it worked great! Too bad the phone was the downfall :p. Bought several for Christmas stocking stuffers. I'm sure everyone will let me know if they like them or not. Bought one gripgo for myself and 2 for gifts.
Have found it is just what I need while driving. I can find it and know if I need to pull over to answer the phone. I will recommend it to others who have problems locating their phones while on the road. I have a big cellphone, and it does work pretty well. Also I can use it with GPS, remote control, etc.
It is very helpfull since you can move it around your car or to another. Fits my truck perfect. No need to pull along side of road to talk and for sure there will be no police stops. I have tried many, many, many cell phone holders in my car. My cell phone is very slim and slick so either nothing will grip it or I have to worry about the grips being in the way, I can't have anything across the bottom because it gets in the way of the charging port. This is perfect! The only problem I have is that the pad doesn't hold up to the Texas heat, when it's on my dash it sticks too well and parts of it get left on the back of my phone.
I've tried freezing it since it says it doesn't work well in the cold, I've tried putting lint on it, covering the liquified parts in laquer, all to no avail. I did however, turn the pad over and it seemed to help a little. I wish I could just purchase replacement pads instead of having to purchase a whole new mount.
It works great, for flat-backed items. I don't recommend it for use with a Tom-Tom. They have a round raised section on the back, built for their own holders.
And, they're heavier than other GPS's. It may work too well for cell phones with weak battery cases. It was hard to remove my phone at first. Then the sticky pad kept the battery case! I was afraid it was going to snap. Sweet my big galaxy note works just perfect with rubber phone case on it should have got it a long time ago. Tried using it in my car with my iPhone 5 as my gps and the whole thing kept falling down or my phone wouldn't stay.
Definitely not a good thing while your driving. The idea behind this product was good, but in practicality, it ranks a 1. Great product that is easy to use. Only problem is, when I put my phone on it and it needs charging, the weight of the charging cable pulls the phone off of the GripGo. Without the weight of the cable, my phone stays on there very well. Worth the price. All Notices Customer Service.
I drove around both on road and off, over speed bumps and even over a curb at one point don't ask , and the phone remained very well-secured. I've been trying for several days to find out through the Internet but so far I have come up short. A friend and I did some mutual sleuthing through the patent and trademark records, but so far have come short. If you know more about it, feel free to comment below. Some reviews will address how the GripGo doesn't work with their iPhones when in a case , and I found this to be somewhat true.
I'm so sorry Otterbox fans I tried it with the uBling case I had reviewed last holiday season. Boy, was THAT a fail! Claim 5 above states that you can instantly detach the phone with no sticky residue.
That claim is only partially true. The advertising will give you the impression that a short tug will instantly release the phone from the "millions of tiny suction cups". Not true. You will need two hands to remove the device from the GripGo. Also, you need to slowly remove it or else the unique polymer surface might separate from the mount itself. The polymer hasn't fully separated yet, but I see the edges loosening when I attempt to remove the phone too hastily.
The polymer will start out very sticky. Over time the stickiness will ease to a perfect adhesive level, but as dust and dirt begin to collect on it, expect it to lose its stickiness. Simply wash the GripGo surface with warm water to bring back its stickiness.
As for the residue, no, it isn't sticky, but yes, there IS a residue on the phone. I don't think it's a problem, but don't think the mount will leave no evidence. Conclusion: The GripGo will work with your device case if it's a rigid, smooth backed case.
Use two hands to gently remove it from the grip to keep from peeling the unique polymer surface from the mount itself. I could be reviewing the absolute best, most secure car device mount in the world, but if I can't use my phone while it's mounted, it's all for nought.
Once mounted, your device on the GripGo will extend about 8 inches from the suction cup base. The "boom" is rigid, and the only part that swivels for you is the panel with the GripGo polymer.
I was happy with the amount of flexibility in the panel with the phone on it. Claim 6 above mentions a degree viewing angle, and I was happy with how easily I could rotate my phone between horizontal and vertical positions. Because I was testing the phone in a mid-sized SUV with a somewhat deep windshield, I was concerned with a safe windshield location.
When I placed the phone in what I thought was a safe part of the windshield, very close to the rear-view mirror, the phone was pretty far from my reach while driving, and I had to yell at the speaker phone to be heard. It was about 24" between the driver's seat and the mounted phone. I attempted a couple of other places on the windshield to make the phone closer to my voice and hands, but I didn't feel as safe having the phone anywhere other than near the rear-view mirror, which is the only direction your eyes should travel when not looking at the road.
The rigid boom made tapping the phone to answer and hang up very easy, and I liked that. I could quickly tap the "Answer" button when I received a phone call and the mount didn't budge.
I have an Arkon phone mount applied to the air vent in our other car and there's usually a slight wiggle when I tap the phone with that mount. In this case, the GripGo was far superior. Conclusion: The GripGo's rigid boom mount made touch-surface devices very easy to use for quick taps, such as to answer and hang up the phone.
Keep an eye on the distance the GripGo puts the phone from your eyes and your voice, the boom isn't super long and on bigger vehicles this could be an issue. I wish I knew what the unique polymer surface composition really was, I'm truly curious. By understanding its capabilities and limitations, I think this can provide a long life.
