Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder

There are a lot of phone holders on the market today and finding one that will fit your needs is not always that easy or economical. I have several phone mounts some are great and some are just horrible. The Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder is a good middle of the road phone holder. When I took it out of the package it looked like a computer mouse, a nice and different design that the majority of phone holders, it is pleasing to the eye and when closed takes up very little space. The Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder is made of a strong sturdy plastic, has a nice textured feel to it and feels pretty solid. I dropped the mount a few times from 3 feet and besides a few nicks it did not break or crack. I would not recommend that you drop it but I wanted to see how well it would hold up.
I tested this mount in my 2003 Jeep Liberty, the dash is quite textured as you will see in the photos, and I was surprised that the mount did not fall off. I have had the mount installed for just over a week, and it still is on my dash. One tip I will give you now is to wash the area of the dash with a cleaner, I used Windex, then when it dries I used alcohol to make sure there was no residue then I pressed the mount onto the dash with a little pressure then pushed the lock arm down to secure the suction cup to the dash. Once the mount is in place press the button(see picture with green circle) and the mount opens up ready to accept your phone.
I used two devices to test the Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder, a iPod Touch 5 and a Lumia 640. The mount held each device securely without any slipping or drops. The spring clamp is strong, you will definitely have to use two hands, the Lumia 640 was a tight fit, what I mean is that was close to the limit on how wide the clamp will open, the Lumia 640 is 3 inches wide and the clamp will open to 3.5 inches, on either side of the clamp is rubber padding to help grip your device and to stop it from slipping, these pads are just stuck onto a flat surface I would have liked to have seen a bit of a indentation into the plastic which the pads would fit into for better grip and less chance of the pads falling off. The clamp is mounted on a ball head so you can swivel your device to a landscape position if you like. Tilting the clamp left or right is a bit limited but good enough to adjust it to a usable position.
For me and the devices that I used for testing I found that once opened I had to turn the clamp upside down for me to get the position that worked best for me, let me explain what I mean by upside down. When you open the holder you will notice a U shaped cut out in the clamp, that is facing down, I simply rotated the clamp until the U shape faced up and that worked best for me. As I drove around I tried to ride over pot holes and bumps to see if the clamp would hold onto each device, if it would stay secured to my dash and if there is any wobble in the mount itself. The clamp never let go of either device, it held only my dash and there was a tiny bit of wobble, so if you are going to vlog your video may show some wobble. So in conclusion for the price you pay the Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder is not only a really great deal but a really good phone mount, it works extremely well and looks fantastic. The only negative is the side to side range is a bit limiting but not a deal breaker, that is why I gave it four stars.
