Was the perfect iPhone holder, until it broke...

I purchased this Belkin iPhone car cup holder mount about 10 months ago. I loved this mount--it was exactly what I was looking for in an iPhone car holder, the form, the ease of use, and how it fit perfectly into the center console cup holder in my car. Unfortunately, like most other reviewers here, the mount broke (separated) one day a few weeks ago. It seems that some internal plastic piece in the base has broke, as I can't join the two halves together and get the action working properly again. I hope Belkin fixes this design flaw in the future, as I would buy a similar product again.

Bought this several months ago from a Staples store. It worked great... for a short time then the (really cheap) plastic in the core broke... and I only adjusted it once for the cup holder in my Infiniti.
Would not buy again!

Bought one a month ago and was very pleased with it, until it stopped expanding after a couple of weeks. Now the top is just turning and we can no longer mount it.

Hi Bjeven,
We understand that your cup mount should reliably function longer than that. Let's have our Support Team look into it more closely and provide the necessary assistance. Just email a photo of the device and the link to this post at BelkinCares@belkin.com.
Poor design and materials. The holder broke after very little use. Apparently, the rigid plastic used and connections within the unit do not hold up. The unit just popped one day, while not even being used, then would no longer hold together. Very disappointing.

Hello, TX CPA,
The Belkin Car Cup Mount was manufactured to be sturdy and should last longer. Email us at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your phone number and the link to this review so we can lend you a hand from there.
I have three of these and all failed within a year. The internals are rigid plastic and the bottom of the mount breaks such that it can't be tightened in the holder any more and just flops around. All three broke the exact same way. The internal base parts fractured.

Bought this for when I travel and use rental cars - can't use the air vent version. Keeps phone secure and doesn't require the cover to be taken off of phone. Liked it so much I ordered a second one for my wife's car... I haven't had any of the issues mentioned in other reviews yet, but then again I haven't owned this for very long...
This works great for my Audi Q7 and I phone 6s. I just upgraded to the Iphone X and hope Belkin will put the resources to create this with a wireless charging. That would really be convenient.
