Cheap and Cheerful
Well for a fiver its hard to fault this. The suction seems good and it will fit most phone fine and hold them as good as some of the more expensive holders although it holds best if rested against the dash. Arm flexible but still holds adequately firm when fixed into required position. Only issue I have is that the space from bottom to side seems smaller than in the picture. My phones charging slot is in the bottom left of the phone and from the picture it looks as if theres more than enough room to get the charger in however theres barely 0.5-1cm from the bottom to the side and as the sides not adjustable I cant use it as pictured with the car charger. However I found a workaround was to turn it upside down and have the phone rest on the dash with the top of the phone snugly held by the bottom of the holder. So far so good and it holds the phone decently secure although I have gotten a little vibration noise here and there depending on the road/engine speed but so far it holds good enough for the price.

Good for the price
This mobile holder is quite good for the price you will pay. It does the job.
Problems:
Cheap plastics, one of the plastic locks broke when I tightened it.
Shakes a lot when driving, almost feels like your phone will fly out of the window.

Pleasantly Surprised :-)
I really didn't know what to expect for £4.99 !! When it arrived (only a day after ordering)I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. It attaches to the windscreen well, the arm bends well and stays in position, the holder holds my XDA Orbit perfectly (both with it's case on or without it's case on). So in a nutshell, I was gobsmacked, a really decent piece of kit and so cheap to buy. To look at it, looks like it's a £30 one, not at all cheap and tacky. I am REALLY VERY VERY PLEASED with this purchase.

Superb value for money
I've been using this for three weeks now, with my HTC Touch Diamond2. It fits the phone perfectly without touching the side volume button and it allows the charger to be connected without any obstacle. The arm is not particularly flexible but was easy enough to move into exactly the position I needed (before sticking to windscreen)- but take care as I imagine it might break if forced. The suction is extremely good - it's not come off once in 3 weeks - even during the heatwave. The mechanism on the suction cup is a bit brittle and I imagine it could break quite easily so again, be careful. Overall this is extremely good value for money - I'm very satisfied with the purchase and I wouldnt hesitate recommending it. It was also delivered lighting fast so well done mobilefun!

Wow is the only word
I ordered this yesterday and when I woke up this morning it was here. I didn't know post could travel that fast. The item itself is simply fantastic, it does exactly as it says and is extremely high quality. Absolutly perfect, thank you.

It works, great price
I am using it for my HTC HD. It allows space for the cigarette lighter power cord. It does a good grip, sufficient even when it holds the device in "horizontal" position. Attaches to / deattaches from the windshield easily. Does not fall off. Bends ease enough. Great price; great delivery. I will buy one more. Only note: The device holder does not rotate with respect to the flexible arm; you must deattach from the windshield, "turn" and reattach - no problem, in my opinion.

this works and you can't beat the price
This is a great holder, the bar bends into shape and then stays there, the thing sticks to the windscreen like glue and holds the phone firmly. then releases the phone easily. you just can't go wrong for a fiver. i'm getting another two for the other car and our van.

Unbelievably good value
I bought one of these for my HTC P6500 which is a heavy lump of a PDAPhone. It fits snuggly into the jaws and is a breeze to release with one hand. The jaws open and close like hydraulics so the device doesn't drop out like the spring loaded types. My only minor niggle is the suction pad release mechanism which looks a bit fragile and the ratchet teeth look a little brittle. Overall an excellent value for money product, thanks Mobile Fun.

Great
This is ideal for mobile phones. Doesn't suit Tom Tom one though. Noticed that someone said the arm is not flexable. It is. I thought it wasn't but it just needed a wee bit of manipulation. All in All well worth a fiver.

Suction Problem?
Almost a great buy, but I seem to be having a suction problem... seems to attach securely (to the point where it'd be impossible to pull off without breaking the windscreen), but after a few minutes it just falls off for no apparent reason. If anyone's got any ideas as to why, I'd like to hear them!

Broken after a few weeks
The holder attached to the windscreen OK but when the ratchet for the clamp had been released and re-clamped three or four times, it crumbled into little bits and the holder just swung around the top of the dashboard- entertaining but useless as a phone holder. don't buy cheap!

Good
It is very good and can hold almost anything but it can break easily and the suction can start to weaken over time.
But for £5,00 it is a nice thing to buy for the price.

Works on the Nokia N95
recently purchased for my Nokia N95. At first thought i would have to cut the bottom off to allow me to access the charge port but simply turned it upside down & clamped it a bit tighter. Works perfect well worth the money & doesn't interfere with the slider.

Great for the money! Looks neat, doesn't fall off (even with really stiff suspension/speedbumps!), fits my smallish mobile and my large-ish PDA... It bends to fit and comes apart to go in the glove box. EBay certainly can't compete!!

I really was pleasently surprised with this item.

Cheap Build - Not Even Worth £5
At first glance I was impressed by the price but after receiving it I found that it hardly stuck to the windscreen, the release catch doesn't release and it broke straight away. I returned it expecting a refund was sent another 1. The first thing I checked was the release catch.. it didn't realease!! Despite what you may have read the arm does bend but is extremely tight and you feelifyou try to hard it may just break the plastic as it is so delicate. I haven't checked the suction on this one as it is pointless if it won't release. It costs £1.50 to return so I have now decided to count my losses on this product.
I would recommend spending a little more and probably getting a lot more back.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!

Super...Smashing...Great.
It's cheap, flexible and the suction cup is very strong. No worries about it falling off the windscreen...took me an age to release it to relocate it to a more suitable place on the windscreen, the suction is that strong!! Can't complain for a fiver!!

Top Marks
I bought this for my Nokia E65, it fits perfectly and it looks great in the car, it also doesn't touch any of the side buttons. I have TomTom 6 on my mobile and the holder works great! You can type in destinations without fear of it falling off the windscreen. I would recommend this to anyone a real bargain!

Excellent for the Money
Very study unit. Holds my N95 8gb tight both with the slider shut or open. Fixes solid to the windscreen with easy removal.
The arm is very sturdy and does bend and flex into any position you need. Just adjust it first before putting the holder attachment on the end.
Cant go wrong for the money.
Excellent product and great service yet again, next day delivery.

VALUE 4 MONEY
HAVE HAD IT FOR MONTHS. WORKS WELL WITH MY N95 & 6630. ITS SOLID. STICKS TO SCREEN VERY WELL AS IT SHOULD. HAS NOT COME OFF THE SCREN BY ITSELF YET. HOLDS PHONE FIRMLY. SUPRISED IT FITS TOM TOM1 WELL. BUT AJUSTABLE ARM NEEDS SOME FLEXIBILITY.

Just buy it
I have had mine for 3 weeks now. It really is very good. The plastic phone holder is quite cheap plastic but up to the job.
Very sturdy when travelling over rough ground but remember to position so the base of the holder rests gently on the dashboard.
Another good tip is DO NOT try to bend the flexible arm by holding the phone holder itself. Its quite obvious the weaker of the two materials could break and that happens to be the cheap plastic phone holder.
Bend the arm by gripping and bending the arm only.
Really just buy one you will be impressed.

Universal Phone Holder
Excellent product and price, and the stem DOES bend! I've been moving it between two cars and various buses, coaches, & minibuses, still sticks well and hasn't broken yet! Using with my Nokia 6288 slide phone, won't slide when in the holder but will fit securely in holder with slide open so this isn't a problem. Phone has a crystal case fitted but still fits holder well. Looks like holder will obstruct car charger connection but I'm sure I'll find a way round that, one option could be to put phone in holder upside down so connection is on top. Would recomend without hesitation, just ordered two more.

great value
Does exactly as it's set out to do. The bar DOES bend, and hold its shape well afterward. Both the suction cup and the clamp works using rachets,both then could be released via buttons (push button for the clamp, slide button for the suction cup).
with this price its a great buy

Not bad for a fiver...
For the price it's pretty good. If you have an N95 it will fit but using the slider can be tricky as the foam pads holding the phone also touch the slider.
If you want to charge the phone using an in car charger be warned, the left hand base support gets in the way of the N95 charging socket. Hacksaw soon sorts that!

It bounces a little bit
Been using this for about a month now and I love it. I did find that it tended to be a bit bouncy in the car until i angled it so the phone holder just rests on the top of the dashboard - problem solved! For the money it's great!

It's OK
When mine arrived, there was no instructions, so i had to guess how to release the suction, i thought that you had to pull it, but i tried pulling it and the top section of the suction chipped off! so now I can only use the 2nd strongest suction position. It holds my nokia n95 fine but when your nokia n95 is on 'the stand, you can't slide it up and down, the gps on the nokia n95 works fine and if you just want to buy a product that holds your phone for 5 poungd its good.

Cheap and it works!
To those that say it doesn't bend - it does! I made the mistake of thinking it didn't, but the seemingly solid pole can be bent with a bit of force.
The product itself does exactly what it should. Suction is strong, holder is sturdy and secure. Even comes with space for a photo behind the phone and comedy English on the packaging.
For a fiver, you can't go wrong.

Good for HGVs
Mine came yesterday, shaft not flexible as advertised but i wanted it for my lorry at work so not a problem for me as windscreen is vertical, if you got a car with a steep angled windscreen the phone will be pointing at the floor !. Suggest you look at other holders.Good price though and delivery was next day.
