I don't usually write reviews but felt this warranted one. Firstly, it is annoying that the reviews are for both the car charger and the house charger. This makes it difficult for someone who is trying to gain perspective on a single product considering the features would be quite different for a car mount/charger vs something that plugs in a wall and sits on a desk.
So to be clear, this is to review the car charger. I did a lot of research and even purchased another product that I ended up taking back. I like this one for the following reasons:
Mechanical Mount - Although the ones with the infared sensors are cool, I worry that is just something that can break and it is annoying when they keep opening and closing on their own when the car is not in it. I like straight mechanical because it is easy, more reliable and less annoying.
Bottom Adjustable Support - Not only does this make it easier to mount the phone, but it also helps position the phone so that it charges (in line with the coils). The other one I purchased had no bottom support which means you had to luckily get it mounted in the exact spot for it to charge. This also makes it easy to mount because if your mount is slightly reclined, you can just place the phone on the bottom support with one hand and then close with the same hand.
Charging - It actually charges much better than I expected. I have an s7 and on a 3-4 minute drive it went from 3% to 7%. I am guessing around 50 seconds per percent which is exactly what I tested my house chargers at. It will not charge as quick as the "fast chargers" that you plug in, but it does seem to be comparable to a normal plug in charger which is much better than what I saw on the other wireless charger I purchased. BTW, this is also with the otterbox defender case on it.
Mount Arms - The mount arms are bigger than many others that I have seen. The last one I purchased barely gripped my phone with the otterbox definder case on it. This one grips it very well.
Adjustments - The adjustments and particularly the extender arm is really nice. This allowed to bring it closer to the driver for easier operation while it is mounted.
Questions I had that were not answered:
Does it charge with otterbox defender case? Most definitely.
Does it have infared auto clamps? No, but I prefer not to have that
Are the clamps large enough to support the s7 with otterbox definder case? Most definitely.
The only slightly negative thing I will say is it does bounce a little when driving and when pressing buttons on the phone while mounted, but with the arm fully extended that is somewhat expected. At this price point along with all of the other positives, this is not enough for me to reduce my rating.
The charger was easy to set up. Appears to be well made. Durability? Who knows. Brand new. Holds the XS iphone well, with and without a case. However, it will not charge wirelessly with the case -unlike my wireless charger in the house. If the indoor charger didn’t charge with the case, I’d look at it differently. Defeats the purpose of having a wireless charger in the car. I have to plug the phone in to charge or take out of the case. Neither of which is an option I want.
Edit: Customer service is excellent. I requested, they offered to refund money. I don’t do many returns and it works as a decent holder. They then offered a new one. I received it but have not installed to test. Once I do will update. Rating remains the same until the charger is tested. If I could give extra stars for customer service I would Hopefully this one will work and I can upgrade my review.
Edit update. Finally had time to install the replacement charger. Easy to remove the other one. Clean up easy - used alcohol in case of sticky residue. Installed easily.
This one worked immediately wirelessly with the case on. Nuts tighten down easier and appear to hold. Haven’t taken on long drive yet. But seems better.
With customer service that addressed the issues immediately and the second product working as advertised I have upgraded my review from 3 stars to 5.
Update to below:
First product was defective, received excellent customer service and quick receipt of replacement which works great! There will be times a product is defective, but this company will go out of their way to make everything right!
I so wanted to like this product! It’s a great product...Doesn’t fall off under the hot sun like my old mounts, and also very very sturdy construction. This product works GREAT....at keeping your phone at the current charge. If you have anything, and I mean ANYTHING running on your phone, even in the background, it will not fast charge like it claims, let alone charge it anything above the charge level your phone was at when you put it on. At first I thought it was just because I was using GPS and listening to music. But then I tried listening to music only on my 30 minute drive home from work...same results. Then I tried closing everything for about 10-15 minutes...same charge level. Highly disappointed.
I really wanted this to workout as the product itself is of very high quality and design. Unfortunately the sticky/suction provided refuses to stay secure to my dash. My car is brand new and the type of surface just won't allow THIS item to stay secured. I didn't even get to try my phone on it. :(
Update: the sellers kindly sent me a replacement without me asking for one. As I said, product is high quality and because of their customer service, upgrading this to 5 stars. Will try it on a different car (to try it on a different dash) and update this review when I do.
This appears be a great car mount. Installation was easy, and the wireless charging option seems to work great even through my case on my Galaxy S10 plus. It fits my phone great even with the case on. While I haven't experienced any issues with quality the plastic does appear to be a little cheap but it hasn't affected function so far. So far I'm very happy, I will update if any issues arise.

The car mount was easy to set up and it has a lot of different angles you can adjust it to. HOWEVER, the suction cup did not work well at all for me. I was not able to test the charging because the car mount kept falling over the place. Really wished it worked out since it has a fast charger and all too.
EDIT (01/25/19): TurbotDirect has reached out to me multiple times to follow up and resolve my issue throughout the course of these months. Unfortunately, the replacement they sent did not work as well as I would have liked. Even so, their customer service assistant Ruby has gone above and beyond to assist me. I truly appreciate how caring and considerate they are to their customers! If you have an issue, feel free to reach out to them and they will do their best to help.
I'm not sure what more you'd be getting from these $50.00 charging phone mounts, but this one is sturdy, and feels like a quality product. Took me a moment to realize the little feet at the bottom (in upright position) extended out also and then placed the phone correctly on the mount to charge. It even charges through the case and I have a Note 9. I have noticed that the charger is not "fast", but it does increase the battery percentage, (even while I have the screen on bright, and pandora going with GPS and the screen set never to turn off... So, I'm happy with that performance too. I have the mount attached to the windshield (low) and the phone in mount resting on the front of the dashboard. I have a small felt pad adhered to the bottom of the mount just incase I have rough road... I can't stand rattles... Overall I'm happy with this mount. Should have done this earlier... Only had it 2 days. I'll update should things go south.
I researched and shopped for months for one. I have an Audi A8 with a textured and curved dash. I was concerned about it sticking, and causing damage. Finally chanced it and got this one. Used the sticky mounting plate and it's working great. I have a note 9 so its heavy and I was concerned the weight would pull it right off the dash. We've had 93 degree temps and now freezing since i bought it a few months ago and its holding and charging as promised.
I really like this device. The suction cup works. It's stayed on the windshield without falling off ever since I fist installed it. Getting the phone in and out is easy - just push the button. The height of the bottom support of the phone is adjustable, which is good because that way, you can change the location at which the side clamps press against the phone. Otherwise, the clamps would press against the on/off button and shut the phone off. Seems to be made from a decent grade of plastic. Adjustable, etc. Definitely would buy this one again if the one I have got lost, etc.
This thing is awesome. I love not having to plug my phone in everytime I get in and out of the car.
Very securely attached to my dashboard with the included instructions and pieces.
Charges as quickly as my other fast wireless charger at home.
Have been using it for about 2 months without an issue. Will update if anything changes
