I’ve been using one of these daily for two years in my car, ‘rock’ solid. Not a problem.
Had one of the ‘360’ swivel ROCK ones for my wife, but it kept falling off the vent… the centre of gravity was too far out.
This arrived within two weeks. For $2.88 it’s a steal. Especially the gray one which blends with the car interior to look neutral. Definitely worth sharing with the team.
Have a great Friday.
I have 2 versions as well. I have the same issue. Thru might work better on thicker vent slats.
Oh I think you’re right. I’ll mark it as expired. Oh I don’t know how to do that. Can someone with some clout around here eg JV please remove the deal? Ta
due to the centre of gravity being too far out.
Just move somewhere with less gravity
Noted.
I believe the equator has slightly less gravity.
I'd move to South China, and save on express shipping for domestic shipping.
yep these ones are bad, I also have both and my swivel one falls off as well.
Is that $2.88 ex GST? 😉
Damn u Gerry 😭
Anyone know a brand that doesn't fall off ever?
The ROck one without the swivel
Rubberband may do the trick.
You need to be careful when attaching and detaching your phone. Otherwise it's a good product that holds my phone perfectly.
Is this the same one that was on a while back available in the green colour?
I have trouble using that because the clip portion is too long for the vent design in my car. I'm actually thinking of sawing that part shorter so it clips on more snug.
Anyone happen to try that already?
After a short period the springs stops working and it's pretty much useless.
Do yourself a favour and get this instead. It's a bit dearer but works great. Bought 3 -

Well, for those that can wait a bit longer they can buy at $2.5 instead of $10: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Universal-Car-Phone-Holder-G…
Good find!
Would that mean these would be bad if you're going off road and bounce alot?
I've got a couple of this alternative and think they're fantastic. $1 (plus GST) delivered. They hold the phone and don't fall out.

Yes simple product that does its job. As the comment above says, they hold the phone and stay in place.
Quality may depend on the manufacturer, but ours refuses to break.
(We have the much simpler model without the 360 ball head joint, just straight to the prong grip which goes into air-vent).
No issues with the spring like Barney had.
Isn't this the 360 swivel one?
I have one like in the item image above (which uses a button to clamp onto the vent), and another which is "self-clamping". The one pictured above falls off all the time due to the centre of gravity being too far out.
