Good but not great (although it can be)

I have been using this for 1 week now. Unfortunately, it is easily “over stretched” regarding the vent adherence mechanism. This makes it loose and “wobbly”. Otherwise I do feel that it is well built.
I’ve bought loads of different car phone holders and they’ve all failed! This product is the best. It took a little effort to get it to fit correctly as I had the same issue others have had but if you look at your vents one usually has a small cutout for adjustment and that’s the vent the locking arm hooks behind. Perfectly engineered 5 stars. Keep the great products coming please 🙏🏻
This is the second time I bought the same product and though very happy with it the first time unfortunately the “hook” coming out of this product to bold it your ventilation is pretty short. Too short and when I turned it out too far (you can’t see that it’s too far out when the hook is inside you ventilator) it wouldn’t go back in. I had to Arjensbreak the stopper that didn’t stop it from coming out too far but did stop it from going back in again. Now it is all bolted to my car and working very nicely. But for a 100 dollar plus object this should have been designed better.
I’m giving this two stars for the idea, design, and overall quality. The real issue is the cost—it's far too high for something that’s difficult to install and struggles with stability. If you tighten it past the red marking, that’s it; you can’t go any further/Tighten, and the whole thing becomes loose and unstable. The hook really should have a rubber coating to keep it from shifting around. I ended up returning it.
This is a very sturdy mount that was easy to install and works great with my PD case and my Ford F150. The product is 5 stars.
HOWEVER, my Pixel 10 Pro will only charge at 1.3W, which BARELY keeps up with battery drain while navigating. After researching and speaking with PD, I'm sure this is a Pixel problem and not a PD problem.
It is odd, my Qi1 bedside wireless charger from PD works much better. So Idk.
Fit and finish are fantastic as always expected from PD. Only problem is my even when fully cranked (like as far as I can) down the arm to the phone still slips from its position. The MagSafe is also a bit weak. I use a Pelican MagSafe case and my iPhone 15 pro comes right off with just a little bump when reaching for a button. Not sure these things area PD problem, but for the money I wanted the phone solidly in place.
