Spigen KUEL [S40] (Stealth), Dashboard Car Phone Holder, Dual-Angle Function One Touch Easy Application (SGP11359)

This is a great car mount that, unlike the vast majority of car mounts out there, doesn't rehash the same old design. Most car mounts are fixed to the car either by clipping to an air vent (when you can get them to fit securely you have a hot phone and warped vents that now only point down), or by sticking to the windscreen meaning you're sacrificing your view with the mount, the phone and a charging cable, and leaving a nasty ring on the glass when you take it off (or when it falls off when going over a speed bump). The fact that this holder falls into the dash mount category is definitely a plus in my book. The way that the mount attaches to the dash is far better than any other method out there - I have no clue what the people saying otherwise are doing wrong. Where, with other kits, you would permanently stick a disc to the dash and then suction mount the holder to that disc, this holder relies on a reusable, sticky, gel pad. You clean the dash with the included alcohol wipe, wait a few seconds for it to dry, then press the holder firmly in place. I have a textured dash and this thing is moving for no one - I've pulled pretty hard on it, too. And then of course you have the way that the phone mounts in the holder. I won't explain how it works because it's pretty self evident and a load of other reviewers have already explained it, but let me just say that it is really secure, and easy to mount the phone with one hand without looking at what you're doing. Perfect for a car mount. The only negatives I can think of are: it's not available with any other inside colour than blue. It doesn't look bad, in fact it looks bloody good, even in a car that has absolutely no complimentary colours to blue in it, but an option to have it all black or orange or any other colour would be fantastic. The second negative is the fact that you can only mount your phone horizontally. It's not a problem for me, because 99% of the time I mount my phone horizontally anyway. But the option to mount vertically would be fantastic. Overall, I think this is a brilliant car mount. Possibly the best on the market for people who want something stylish that doesn't mess up a clean driving environment. Sturdy, looks great, works brilliantly. Can't recommend it enough. Tested with a Samsung Galaxy S8+, in a Fiat Grand Punto.

I purchased this as my car doesn't fit air vent phone holders and I didn't want an armed phone holder. It holds the phone well, is sturdy and because the phone is held horizontally, makes it easy to plug it in to be charged. Unfortunately, the adhesive is practically none existent. I cleaned my dashboard and stuck it on but it came off the first time I added my phone into the holder. I do manage to put my phone in the holder and the holder does stay on the dashboard but I think that's because my dashboard is flat. A little pull (to get my phone out) and the holder is off the dashboard. It would probably be better if it had separate sticky patches. I gave it 4 stars because it does fit what I need it to do which is hold my phone whilst I drive.

Let's start by clearing up some facts about this holder. In my opinion it does not stick to all surfaces and the sticky pad that it comes with does not do the job right for all cars and yes it can press on the volume and the power buttons, and it's not suitable for all cars, and like all holders that are dash or window mounted your phone can and will get hot in summer. So why would i give it the five stars and why do i love it. After a fair bit of problems with this not sticking I went out and bought some Unibond No More Nails Strip Ultra-strong Removable Translucent - Pack of 10. I stuck one strip front and back onto the existing sticky pad, then stuck another one each on top once i had peeled off the yellow plastic strips, building up the depth. You can do this as much or as little as it takes to even the curve of the dashboard, there's plenty. I then stuck this to the dash and it's never come off and does not even feel like it ever will, but i know with some sideways pressure that i can get it off if needed, then some white spirit should clean the glue off the dashboard. The second point about the phone buttons can be solved with a plastic case. I have almost exclusively bought cases to protect my phone from Spigen. The recessed holes for the buttons means they will not be depressed by the mount but the phone will still be secure. To my knowledge most people protect their phones with some sort of case and screen protector, in this case it needs to be a polycarbonate/TPU case that has recessed button holes. On the last two points, i would defy any company to make a mount like this that would fit all cars, and yes it stands to reason that your phone will heat up if left in a hot car in the summer behind some glass. Little tips that should make your life easier would be to download and install Google Now Launcher on Android phones and set the home screen to rotate. It's simple but will allow you to use your phone in landscape mode from the home screen. There are other launchers that do this but i prefer Google's own one. If you have Bluetooth in the car, install Google Auto for Android a set it to autostart when the car is switched on and bluetooth is connected. Simple but brilliant. Lastly the lock screen on most phones can be set so that you only have to swipe up once when connected to a prefered Bluetooth device to unlock it. This overrides the pin or fingerprint sensor. All the Android tips can and should be available for Apple's phones and if you're not sure what i'm talking about, Google it. I think that Spigen should give extra Sticky pads like the No more Nails ones as it would increase the options for curved dashboards and or dashboards like the one in my VW Up, that have a split in them with a slight dip. The extra pads do the trick and seem to be a lot more sticky than the spigen one. If you're not prepared to go to all this work, don't buy it, however it's a brilliant mount that coupled with Google assistant and Google Auto works brilliantly for me, allowing sat nav and hands free in a car that would ordinarily have none. Given the new penalties for using phones whilst driving it's a no brainer.

Love this thing. Easy installation, very solid build and quality. Holds my Nexus 6, in a MOKO case, with ease. I have this in my car and it is great, only issue I have is that the top blocks access to the power button, but I just have to move it to the left slightly. If you want a great mount that also looks good get this. Very stable on my dash, took it down some really bad roads just to test and it held on no problem.

Como ventajas diría que el soporte es muy firme pudiendo manejar la pantalla e incluso pulsar algun botón frontal sin problemas. Parece muy discreto y de un material adecuado, robusto y duradero. El apriete que ejerce sobre el movil es exacto, ni se pasa de la raya ni se queda corto. Se puede colocar el movil con una mano, esto último ha sido decisorio para mi. Se puede utilizar con cualquier movil actual con o sin funda. El gel adhesivo que contiene se fija muy bien a un salpicadero normal de superficie rugosa. Como desventajas diré que puede resultar una limitación importante que solo pueda colocarse con orientación horizontal. También puede resultar un problema la pulsación accidental de botones laterales en el momento que se pone el movil en el soporte. Por último también cabe señalar que el gel adhesivo a temperaturas altas, es decir a partir de 50 grados se despega con facilidad por lo que un día de verano caluroso puede llegar a despegarse el soporte de la guantera. La sensación es de que el precio es bastante alto en relación al producto, ya que es una especie de pinza sencilla pero lo cierto es que en los detalles materiales de la goma, el apriete, la fijación al salpicadero, usabilidad y la estética me parecen acertados y muy funcionales. Como consecuencia es algo que en conjunto merece la pena.

Premetto che possiedo una Punto prima serie del 97, dico questo perchè il cruscotto di questa auto non ha praticamente spazi vuoti da poter applicare i vari supporti auto per smartphone che esistono oggi in commercio, fino al giorno in cui mi sono imbattuto a questo supporto auto della Spigen!!! Come potete vedere nelle foto ho applicato questo supporto tra il volante e il tachimetro della mia auto proprio per poter avere lo smartphone difronte alla mia visuale di guida e grazie alle sue dimensioni contenute non ostruisce il resto della mia visuale sul tachimetro. Fin da subito si capisce al tatto i suoi materiali curati nei dettagli! Lo spazio che occupa è praticamente pochissimo ma allo stesso tempo è ottimo nella sua funzionalità! Regge il telefono perfettamente, il mio è da 5,5 pollici e il produttore garantisce che il prodotto supporta smartphone fino a 6 pollici! Ha due regolabilità che permette di regolare l'angolatura dello smartphone in base alla posizione che viene applicato in auto. L'aderenza sul cruscotto è praticamente perfetta nonostante la base del supporto, dato la posizione (vedi foto), non aderisce completamente alla base del cruscotto e dopo mesi di utilizzo posso dire che il prodotto è più che valido! Lo consiglio a tutti.

Ce support Spigen me satisfait entièrement! En deux secondes, j'installe/retire le téléphone de son support. J'arrive même à l'installer d'une main. Le support est compatible avec pratiquement toutes les tailles de smartphones. Il balaie d'un revers de main les deux types les plus répandus de supports pour téléphone : le col de cygne et le support sur la sortie de ventilation. - Le col de cygne, c'est galère à installer et ça peut se décoller en pleine conduite. L'utilisation est loin d'être confortable. - Le support attaché à la grille d'aération peut positionner le GPS trop bas. De plus, en hiver, la chaleur de la ventilation peut nuire au fonctionnement du téléphone. Je cherchais une solution qui pouvait exclure ces deux défauts, et Spigen a été capable de mettre un tel produit sur le marché. C'est vraiment, vraiment pratique, on l'installe où on veut sur le tableau de bord. J'ai déjà acheté deux produits Spigen auparavant, et je n'ai jamais été déçu. J'ai actuellement une coque de chez eux sur mon S6 Edge. Je n'ai pas hésité à acheter ce support, ayant déjà connaissance de leur produits de qualité. Au niveau look, l'aspect est agréable au regard, on voit que le matériau est de qualité. L'intérieur du dispositif serre suffisamment bien le téléphone et est revêtu d'une couche antidérapante, ce qui sécurise sans problème l'appareil. Je ne peux que le recommander.

BTW to anyone who sees this, I first posted in October '17 and it's currently April '19. This mount hasn't moved a bit in the intervening period. It still works flawlessly. I am just now about to get a new phone and it should work with that one too. I love this mount soooo freaking much. It works beautifully and to anyone who can spare the 10 minutes to Mod it as described here you should absolutely buy this. It's the best. Pre-edit review below the line. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: I fixed my problem of adhesion by removing the adhesive gel that was a part of the product and instead used some 3M velcro squares to adhere it to my dash. With that one modification, this has become the best mount I have seen. It works beautifully and consistently. It stays folded down when not in use and you can still mount a phone in its maw easily with one hand where it will remain secure until you remove it. I love this thing. Still, I did have to modify it the extra so if 10 mins of hassle are excruciatingly valuable to you and you want a perfect product from the very start you should count this as 4 stars. With modifications though, it's the best. My original review is below if you want to see what I thought before fixing my problem. I am sorry to post a negative review... The clip itself is fantastic, however, I messed around for quite some time and cannot get it to stick to my dash reliably. It stuck for 15 min or so after several attempts but ultimately it does not adhere well enough and will come unstuck and stick less with each subsequent attempt. I did clean the dash thoroughly beforehand. It's pretty disappointing as the rest of it is probably the most sturdy and no-nonsense design I've seen for a phone mount. If I do not get a reply here I may see what 3rd party adhesives I can safely use on my dash to attach it. Anyway, lot's of people love it so give it a shot.
