Dashboard mount mightily grips your phone in the car
They all may look more or less the same, but not all smartphone suction cup mounts are created equally. Some are more flexible, more articulated, or offer a longer reach. Others, like the Bracketron Mi-T Grip place a heavier emphasis on strength and stability — when it gets its grips on your phone, it’ll take more than a casual bump to knock the handset loose.
The Mi-T Grip only has one point of articulation at the ball joint where the gripping claw meets the mounting arm. So, care must be taken to properly orient the base when locating the Grip. Additionally, the short, angled mounting arm may place the Mi-T Grip outside of the driver’s reach when windshield mounting on vehicles with steeply raked glass. On the other hand, with only one articulation point and a short arm, the Grip is quite stable, exhibiting none of the shakiness and vibration that longer, more flexible mounts do. However, the Mi-T Grip perhaps performs best when it’s not stuck to your windshield.
The suction cup at the base of the Mi-T Grip is made of tacky, semi-adhesive material that sticks to most solid surfaces under its own power. This stickiness combined with the suction generated by locking the Mi-T Grip’s suction cup in place results in a remarkably tenacious grip on whatever surface I mounted it to.
