Heads Up Charging

Easy to install with nice little cable managers to keep it looking clean. Nice to be able to slap my phone on here and charge without connecting any cables.
got this charger because my previous one was bulky and wouldnt keep up with my phone on longer trips with gps. this charger keeps pace with my phones power draw and also is a much more convenient means of keeping my phone stuck to my dash.
Doesn‘t stick to any place in my car. The bending of the flat side is unusable. Make the attachment exchangeable so one can use the one or the other fixation for the car. Soni had to buy a completely new unit with fixation to the air conditioner
Since the unit is mounted with with adhesive I chose a spot in my car with a hard and horizontal surface, and, in a place with no direct sun light. With that precaution it works great!!!
The quality of the product is great, but the usability sucks. Having just one joint to move and the phones being larger means the optimal viewing angles are hard to find. In Japan you're not allowed to stick these to the windshield so on the dashboard it must go and this is where the problem lies. If it had another joint with an extension bracket like the vent mount it would have been excellent. As such, it's average unfortunately and viewing angles are ok mostly due to the phone because it's can't be mounted at an oblique angle to the driver.
I bought into the slimlink ecosystem looking for a good, secure mount for my bicycle. I purchased the car mount to round out the custom bundle and use in my car. The mount is solid and well made - definitely a quality product. Overall I would recommend this mount/system to others looking for a quality mount/case ecosystem. The one thing that keeps me from awarding the car mount a fifth star is the magnet, though. There are times where I don't get my phone quite lined up correctly, and the mount appears to be holding the phone, but as soon as I start driving and hit a bump, the phone drops. I also feel that in the event of an accident, the magnet wouldn't sufficiently hold and the phone would become just another flying object in the cab of the vehicle. I would love to see a car mount that utilizes the slimlink connector - for the additional security as well as the guarantee of knowing the phone is correctly aligned and attached to the mount.
