Worked well for a few years, but just broke.
I bought this a few years ago and it worked fairly well. It was difficult to attach my Phone with one hand. Just recently though the gripping mechanism stopped working. I opened it up to find a tiny little molded plastic dowel had broken off. Now it won't grip.

    Best phone accessory to have!! Life saver
    I’ve had this on my phone for a year now. I’m constantly loosing my phone so the magnet is amazing. Especially while I’m on my construction sites. So this am I had to leave the job site and drive back to my office and then back to the job site. I had just made a phone call and put my phone on my truck to listen to music. I got back to site and found the phone in the exact same spot I had left it. I had driven 6 miles on bumpy backroads and it was still there!!! No lost phone! No broken phone!! Thank you so much for making a phenomenal product!! I recommend this to everyone.

      Was a great product for a few weeks but the phone holder broke a few weeks in due to poor plastic parts.

        Don't waste your money
        I have bought 2 steelie dash mounts both of them were nothing but garbage i would mount it on my dash in my transport truck on a clean flat surface and it would stay there for 3 to 4 months then the 3m adhesive would give out and the steelie ball and cell would fall to the floor and i bought my second steelie to get the same results a waste of my money and ruined my dash

        Hello, We are sorry that your Steelie Dash Mount is not adhering to your dash. The reason this happens is there’s some coating on your dash that is preventing the 3M VHB adhesive from sticking. This could be from the manufacturer or if you have ever used products like Armor All or the like. We have had great luck defeating the coating using a gentle degreaser like Simple Green. You would want to apply a small amount of the degreaser to a towel, drape it over your finger, and work it into the spot you want to mount the Steelie. When you are done, wipe it dry. Keep in mind the footprint of the mount is small, so be judicious with the degreaser. I would also advise testing this in an inconspicuous location as to ensure no discoloration occurs. We would be happy to send you extra adhesives to give this a go, please contact customer service at info@niteize.com or 1-800-678-6483, Mon-Fri, 8 AM – 5 PM MST.
          Finally found the one
          This is for people like me who don't think to mount their phone until after they start driving. Super easy to mount with 1 hand, without even looking at the mount. My only problem is that the car gets too hot in summer here in AZ (130+ in the car) so no matter what glue I tried to use, the ball always fell off after being parked for 4 hours. So glad the ball has a small screw in the bottom so I removed the stereo bezel and ran a small bolt from the back of the bezel so now the ball never falls off. Very happy with this mount.

              Not the most durable
              This is the 2nd set I have and also have the permanent mount in my other car. They work very well just disappointed with the vent mounts. The clip holding them on broke after 6 months. I think it's a great idea but not the strongest unless this is a fluke. But hard to spend more money.

                Hi Bob, we are sorry to hear that the dash mount fell off right away. The dash mount does need to adhere to the dash for a full 24 hours before being used to let that adhesive cure. If you reach out to us at info@niteize.com we would be happy to send you more adhesives free of charge under our Worry-Free Guarantee. niteize

                  Low profile and works like a dream
                  My 5th truck that I have installed the das mount on. Sold my last truck to my brother and he loved it so much that he insisted on keeping it to use for himself. Had the ball in my jeep as well holds everything secure. Low profile and works like a dream.

                  Installation Instructions Lacking
                  The product is good. It could be more specific in the instructions to let the adhesive set for 24 hours.

                  Low Profile, Secure Grip, Awesome!
                  Ingeniously designed, functional, solid materials. I am a repeat customer (steelie mobile mounts). As the phone sizes have increased, I've upgraded the size of the munts so they can handle the extra weight securely on my vent mount. BEST!

                    Best kit ever to hold your phone in the vehicle
                    This the best one ever. People that can't get it to stick need to clean the surface off the vehicle that you are mounting it too. Have these on 3 phones and 4 vehicles and no issues at all. Highly recommend.

                      I use it every day
                      I got this for Christmas a while back as I was retiring my Garmin (now I use Waze and occasionally Google Maps) and I had no elegant way to mount my iPhone for navigation. I took a short while to decide where it should be mounted and away I went. Really nothing to criticize about this - I have used NiteIze products for years with similar success.

                        Nice stuff
                        The only real complaint I have is about the windshield mount. The arm is way to short and it needs to extend for different vehicles. The current length is fine for a passenger car but it's was too short for a semi truck .

                          Not strong enough
                          I bought the Original Dash kit and while the magnet will hold the phone to the dash mount it is not strong enough to keep it from rotating down until it hits something. It's not a large phone, just a Galaxy SE22. Completely useless.

                          Hello, Thank you for your feedback. If the magnet is not strong enough, I would recommend checking out our Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket Plus. This is double the magnetic strength than the original Magnetic Phone Socket. I would be happy to get a replacement sent out to you under our worry free guarantee (within 2 years). Please contact Nite Ize customer service at info@niteize.com or from 8-5 M-F MST at 800.678.6483 for a replacement. All the best,

                            Vent Mount is nice
                            The Vent mount is really made well with a lever activated clamp. It's a quality piece and worth the $$$. It works great too. It's easy to move from vehicle to vehicle.
