First off, this holder solved my dashboard struggles. My bulky iPhone 13 Pro Max with an Otterbox case (yes, 12mm thick!) slots in perfectly without wobbling, even on potholed roads. The silicone grips like a gecko – no more phone catapulting during sudden stops.

I love how it doubles as a desk stand for video calls. The washable adhesive surprised me – after a quick rinse, it regained its stickiness like new. Pro tip: Angle it toward the headrest to avoid glare (learned this after a sunset drive with blinding reflections).

The only quirk? Horizontal-only mode. My GPS maps look squished, but I’ve gotten used to tilting my head. For under $20, this minimalist mat beats clunky clip mounts any day.
