Doesn't Fit Mercedes
on August 26, 2024
Posted by: coredump
It's about a cm or so too short to fit a Mercedes GLC vent, unfortunately.

Great phone mount with one major flaw!
on August 24, 2024
Posted by: Sidney
from Onsted, MI
The rotating arm isn’t long enough to keep your phone away from the vent.
That being said, this is incredibly secure with two mounting points on your vent. The magnet hold for MagSafe phones is incredibly strong, and I haven’t felt like the my phone will ever fall off.
The rotating arm not being longer is a big deal though, especially when you live in a state that has colder temps 4-5 months out of the year. Getting a warning that your phone is too hot to charge because the heat from the vent is hitting your phone reduces the usefulness of the mount.
I absolutely like the holder, but because the issue of still having my phone covering the vent persist I can’t say that I love it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Experience

I wanted to love this mount, but it cannot hold the weight of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Every time you take a corner, your phone goes flying across the car, which is incredibly frustrating, especially considering this is priced as a top-tier mount. It will charge your phone wirelessly and works great if you don’t plan on turning while driving.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stable Mount, messy wires
on August 18, 2024
Posted by: Z
from Houston
The Mount is very stable and easy to use with the peak design phone case. The wire clips I received with this were not great and either let go of the wire, didn’t stick to the car for long, or separated from the adhesive part leaving the charging wire free to hang. If they could nail the wire clamp/cable management this would be perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A vent-mount phone holder that doesnt fall off
on July 29, 2024
Posted by: TheDude
from Boston
I bought two of these, one for each car, after previous vent-mount AND adhesive mount phone holders had all failed to remain attached. The two point mounting system with a unique hook clamp means that the PD vent mount will not fall off. The adjustment arm allows positioning of the phone in a wide range of positions relative to the vent. The only complaint is that the adjustment arm will slip if not adequately tightened, and the knob has a smooth surface that makes it dependent on your grip strength to get it properly tightened and even then in some positions gravity and road vibration will occasionally work it lose, requiring a readjustment and tightening. This is still the best phone mount I have had and I recommend it for any car with compatible vents.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid, secure, convenient & a great charger, too

The Peak Car Vent mount simultaneously solves several problems that I've had with other car vent solutions:
• other systems just have the friction grip, which can lead to shifting, sliding, or even falling off – Peak solves that with the adjustable top clip that hooks on and tightens up for better stability and a more secure installation
• blocking AC or overheating the back of the phone – I love the swing arm that enables me to move the phone clear of the vent for unobstructed air flow
• obscured visibility – in my car, the vent is close to the steering wheel so that when using a car mount that hangs in front of the vent, the phone/map is either obscured or in an awkward position; the Peak vent mount's swing arm lets me put the phone in a position of better visibility and less distraction
• consistent charging – it's not that I've had a bad charging experience with other products but consistent charging is something I can rely upon with the Peak vent mount. It just removes one potential point of annoyance by meet that basic performance need with a hassle.
• No slip Magsafe – When the phone in its Peak case snaps onto the Peak vent mount, I know it's not going anywhere until I'm ready to remove it. Again, it simply eliminates a potential source of annoyance/stress.
