Nite Ize Steelie Squeeze Clamp - Magnetic Cell Phone Holder for Dashboards, Vents & Windshields - Versatile & Adjustable Phone Mount - Compatible with Apple MagSafe iPhones and Accessories

My car is a rolling office so a functional cellphone holder is a must. I was us I ng this item's predecessor, which I likes, until its complex innards failed. Replaced it with this item. Much simpler and more robust. Holds the phone securely and is simple to.operste.The only vulnerable part of the Steelie system is the adhesive that holds tge ball mount to your car's surface. No matter how clean you get it, eventually the adhesive will fail. I've solved this problem by just cutting a piece of double-sided mounting tape and sticking it on again. Best one I've found is 3M exterior heavy duty tape.Overall it's a great phone holder.

40% of my miles are offroad. Nite-ize is the only magnetic holder I trust.

Perfect for multiple phones

This is used in a big rig. Bumps and vibration is a given. It holds my phone in position I put either straight up or sideways safe and secure, even over rough RR tracks.

This new “Squeeze” clamp is an excellent addition to the Steelie product line.Over the years I’ve had several Steelie products (their magnets attached to my own case, their case with magnet integrated, vent mounts, windshield mounts, …) with the most recent being their “Freemount” clamp. Sadly after a few years of use it too failed in what apparently is the same way many other owner have had happen. The small plastic pin that held the clamp’s release arm sheared off inside the mechanism rendering the clamp useless.In need of a new mount for my new, larger iPhone 13 I found this “Squeeze” clamp. On first look this new model seems to be definite design improvement over the “Freemount”. It is large (as another reviewer stated) heavier, and feels more solid than the “Freemount”. It also is much larger but you only see the size when it is empty with no phone mounted.One design improvement is that the clamps default position is to squeeze closed VS being held open like the prev clamp. To secure your phone you squeeze the two plastic arms on the back to open the clamp arms and place your phone inside. Once your phone is secured it definitely is held quite tight and I have no fear my phone will fall out until I decide to release it.Sadly my clamp arrived (factory sealed) with a small issue. One of the two small rubber pads attached inside each clamp arm was missing (as seen in the attached pics). The clamp still functions and holds my phone well, but instead of a soft rubber pad it has hardened plastic rubbing on my phone case. I’ve called the customer service line and left a message with Nite-Ize and am waiting for a reply to see what the best course of action is to remedy this issue. If I don’t hear back I’ll prob end up returning to Amazon and ordering a replacement (once the price goes back down to what I previously paid) and hoping it doesn’t have the same issue.One other possible issue, which I am monitoring (having currently only used a few days at this point) is if the Steelie magnet/mount is strong enough to hold my new heavier phone. I feel the heavier weight of the new phone and case as well as the weight of the clamp might be a little too much and is causing the clamp to shift while driving (just hitting normal road bumps, not off-roading or anything crazy). It seems as if I’m constantly having to readjust the viewing angle.All in all an excellent upgrade to the previous clamp.***** While update this review once I hear back from Nite-Ize or if I’m able to verify the weight/view angle issue *****

works perfect in vertical and horizontal configurations on a steelie ball. amazing and perfect!

The phone holder is very well-built and holds many different sizes of phones. It is really easy to use and is much better than previous editions. This purchase was for the holder only. The dash-mount ball can be purchased alone if you need one. I highly recommend this holder!

I am using this on an iPhone 15 Pro Max. It opens wide enough to hold the phone firmly, even with a protective cover on the phone. Magnet is VERY strong (WARNING: don't get this near anything that might be effected by a magnetic field. I laid the smaller magnet on my wife's desktop computer and it wiped out the OS program). Best part is that you can remove the clamp to allow the phone to be charged by the pad.
