Not as good as it looks but solves problems other
Not as good as it looks, getting the arms to the right position takes a while and there are only a few segments in each arm so it's not as flexible as you might think. However, it's workable and solves problems that other stands can't.

Works a treat
Does exactly what it says it will do, a secure flexible holder that fits anywhere. Thank you.

Very versatile
I have owned this for a couple of weeks, most of the time it sits on my desk as a stand, but I have also used it in the car.

Throw away all the rest!
Great idea & ideal for car, having tried several versions of Clingo etc. Such a simple & neat device that fits tightly & securely in the air vents & grips iPhone including case, safely with the other 4 legs.

Spider Podium Universal Desk Stand
Excellent holder and so versatile - currently holds my Desire firmly in the airvents of my Mondeo so that it can act as a satnav, but has also acted as a stand for my bedside clock (Desire) and video player (Desire) and it has also seen some action holding an iPhone!
Thinking of getting a second one so I don't need to remove it from the car every day :)

Useful gadget.
Needed it for 2 reasons:
Haven't got enough space on my car's dashboard for something which sticks so I use the Spider wrapped around the ashtray. Keeps the phone at steering wheel height without hiding it.
At home, works like a charm to keep the phone in an up right position to get a better signal, plus I can use the hands free function with the phone close by.
Very stable - both at home and wrapped around the ashtray in the car.
Downside: a bit ugly but I like it!

Highly adapatable. Brilliant!
It's so nice to have found a phone holder that isn't only for one make/type of phone.
After playing around with the 'legs' and trying out different configurations, my phone now has a comfy armchair on my desk which allows it to be charged and used (i.e. the screen, buttons and ports are completely clear). Perfect for my HTC Desire HD.
Have had many positive comments on it from other people in the office.
Would definietly recommend 'Boris' the Spider :)

Spider Desk Stand
This is a very cleaver, simple design. I use it in my workshop to hold my Blackberry and I have bought a second for the car Sat nav.
Looks strange when you get it flat but bends into any shape holder

useful in a multiphone house
Holds the phone in its case well but the legs take a little positioning to keep the main keys clear.
Is advertised as a desk stand and it is probably best suited to this as it is a squeeze to fit it in my hondas air vents and falls out of our alfa romeos air vents.
Why have I given it 4 stars then? 'Cause it is funky, works with various phone models and despite it being fiddle to get just right, once you have got it set up to your liking it does its job well.

The Spider does it all
Time and again I had problems in finding a location to prop up my phone in a Vertical or Horizontal position to take a self-timing picture, or record a long video. Now with the 'Spider' all those problems have evaporated away.

Scared of Spiders but love this
What a great idea, looked at loads of holders and ordered this one, holds my phone really well.
I use multiple cars and this fits all of them, leaves no marks and also makes a great desk stand.
So much better than the windscreen suction mount type of holder, the rubber texture on this is really grippy.

It's just what you need....
If you change your phone as often as I do then, like me you are forever buying different car mounts. If you have a decent protective case on your phone like me, then non of the brand specific mounts fit, your phone is simply too big. The Spider Pod solves these problems with ease because it just adapts to the size and shape of what ever phone you have. Up to 8 flexible legs form the shape of a phone cradle, and the remaining ones (in my case) hook inside the air vents. Take the phone out, bend the arms and put the satnav in instead. Genius!
A word of caution - tell your partner you are putting it in the car before they get in, it looks like a VERY big spider hanging there, and they might just think it's real, and scream a little :-)

Just what I needed
An excellent product. I was easily able to position the arms to make a stable desktop holder that is a perfect fit for my mobile. Whenever I next upgrade my phone, I can be happy that this holder will be adaptable to whatever size I need.

Otterbox Defender case
I got an iphone4 inside a Otterbox defender case, and its kinda hard to find a decent car holder for such a large case. I have navigon running, and the spider in my air blower/vent on my dashboard, and it works a treat. Most of all, I can use it, and doesn't leave any ring marks on the wind-shield. I have to get use to looking "downwards" for the screen, rather than to the centre of the wind-shield where my GPS unit normally be.

Spider Podium
A great little bit of kit, bends easily and keeps it's shape but a little on the bulky side to give it 5 out of 5. Ideal for travel purposes like using it with a phone on aeroplane.

A very versatile and cleaver holder
The Spider Podium just looked like what I have been after for months to hold my phone in my car without suction or screws. My first trial was a huge success, my phone was held securely to the airvent, no movement and exactly where I needed it.
The added benefit, is I will even be able to use it on my bike, or as a tripod to use the phone camera.
This is better than anything else I have seen to date.
