Bought 5 months ago and it will not tighten in the cupholder. It's coming apart.

Hi,
It is very odd for the Car Cup Mount to stop working after just 5 months of use. We'll have our Customer Service Team sort this out for you. Just send us your contact details at BelkinCares@belkin.com along with the link to this post.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,

Broke in 6 weeks

My daughter purchased this for me as a gift in mid-April. It worked great and I was very pleased, but the screw mechanism which keeps the locking "legs" in place broke when I was trying to unscrew the unit so I could use the device in another car. The screw mechanism now does not work at all.

Hi,
It is very unusual for the mount to break after just 6 weeks. Don't worry, we'll have this sorted out for you. Just send us your contact details at BelkinCares@belkin.com along with the link to this post so that we can endorse you to our Customer Service Team.
I finally have a place to mount my phone in my car. I've tried many other mounts BUT this one is the best I've found. My only suggestion would be to make one of these with a wireless charger built in..

Good idea but poorly made

It seems that there's a reoccurring theme here. Yes, mine broke in three months and the same issue I'm reading on these reviews. The top disengaged from the bottom so the cylinder inside does not lock in place and will not be able to lock into a cup holder anymore. The product has been in one car for the last three months, so obviously it didn't get much use before it broke. I'm very disappointed with this product and I hope Belkin improves its durability before this happens to other buyers.

Broken in less than 6 months

This was the ideal solution for my wife and I after purchasing it in June 2018, however by November 2018 it was useless. The piece that tightens the mount in the cup holder had separated from the base and could no longer keep the base firmly mounted.

Hi dennis9999,
We're curious what could have caused your Car Cup Mount to break that easily as we engineered it from superior quality materials for extreme durability. Please send us a photo at BelkinCares@belkin.com so we can get you over to our Customer Service Team for further assistance. For easy reference, include your contact details and the link to this review.

Was perfect, then it broke.

I absolutely loved it up until it broke about a week into using it. Needs the base to be stronger, because getting it snug broke it right away.

Hi, Fletch,
The car cup mount should last longer than a week. We suggest that you return it back to the retailer and ask for a replacement. If you encounter challenges with their process, please reach out to us at BelkinCares@belkin.com so we can further assist. Indicate your contact information and the link to this review.

Poor quality

I should have read the reviews before purchasing this product! I purchased it less than 3 months ago and the clamp are no longer working, making the mount useless. It was installed in one car and I never removed it, it just gave up one day!
I would not recommend buying this product.
