Capdase Car Mount Holder from Amazon.in

Why Buy : 

Google Maps . Finding it tough to find routes through the city and state , a Car Smartphone holder is a must have these days . Got two phones , think they sell a two headed one as well but that sounds a bit too distracting for the road . Glad they don't have one for tabs :O . Smart phones keep falling of the dash and not a lot of places you can stash them too . Additional advantage is clicking photos on the go , rather when parked in traffic . Mobile phones cannot be used as dash cams , but till then , this should be fine . Plus they make cool time lapse videos

A bit of History : 

Tried a Rs.400 chinese model from a local "ICE" shop (In Car Entertainment) .Thanks to Chennai's bad roads , the phone and the holder part kept falling off from the suction base . No injuries to the phone by too risky . Got a replacement from the same shop and same thing . They just used a long flexible road to attach to the suction and this was just pushed in place to the base and not even screwed . Shop guys said they could stick it , but no further replacements or buy backs .

Why Buy This : 

Found this brand in almost all the high end mobile accessory shops in malls but all of them seemed pricey . After the debacle with the chinese brand , just went ahead and bought this off Amazon and some discount . This was way before i got to know about some awesome sales on amazon and other sites .

Pros : 

• Sturdy and made with good plastic 
• Suction hasn't given in yet after almost two months
• Ease of fixing and removal , though mounting the phone single-handed could be a bit tricky at times
• Option to lock rotation
• Short neck doesn't make it too distracting

Kons :

• Pretty short neck . Though this was shorter than the chinese model , this works to some extent , enough to not showup in photos taken with the mobile cameras , taken horizontally
• Cannot flex the neck while driving , which could be irksome when the passenger shifts it to their side and you want it back to yours . Safer to park and make adjustments anyways.
• Cushion grip holding the sides of the phone seems to lose shape over time to the shape of the edges of the phone , hence try to squeeze the sides strong enough while mounting it.

Do's : 

Ensure the phone is secure each time you lock it

Don'ts : 

No Movies please , too distracting . or Facebook , or whatsapp !!!
