This is a nice one touch open and close phone holder for your car that can fit phones that are 2 to 3 inches in width. It has a highly adjustable base and phone holding mechanism that allows you to set the angle and tilt to suit your height and what style of vehicle you are driving. You can rotate the phone into the landscape or into the portrait mode to fit the application you are using the phone for like taking calls or as a GPS.
The stand has a very sticky gel mount suction cup that easily sticks to your windshield or to any smooth surface in your car. There is a lever that pulls on the cup and it creates a powerful suction force that holds the stand in place. If the gel pad loses its sticky surface over time you can rejuvenate it by simply washing it with slightly warm water and letting it air dry. Do not use any soap to clean the gel cup. It is always nice to clean the area where you are going to mount the suction cup to make sure that it is securely held into place. No other adhesives are required. If your dash is porous then of course suction cups will not work on porous surfaces. Two buttons on the side of the mount quickly release the phone or prepare the stand to receive the phone by expanding the holding arms and locking them open. You set the phone into the stand and lean it back and the mount quickly closes to securely hold your phone. (Please look at my video) There is a button in the center of the back of the stand that when pressed closes the arms to hold your phone into place. My video shows all of the adjustments of the stand including the lowering of the lower feet that your phone rests on to allow you to mount longer phones.
The stand opened up enough that my iPhone 4 in an Otterbox Defender case fit into the stand and was held into place. This is nice as we do not like removing our phones from their cases. Please be aware that some states have restrictions on where you can mount windshield mounted devices and some states do not allow you to use them at all. Please make sure that you check your local laws regarding the use of windshield mounted electronics.
I like this stand and I rated it as a 5 star item.
I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation and I promised to provide a fair and honest review.

GreatShield Quick grip has a strong suction that works both on the windshield and as well as the dashboard. I prefer suction mounts to the adhesive mounts because I don't want to stick anything permanently to my dash. My dash is slightly textured, so not every suction dash mount works on it. This one sticks well. The second thing I like is that it is very easy to mount and dismount the phone. I am fairly short so it takes extra contortions for me to reach a windshield mount, and if it does not open easily it takes me extra time to mount the phone. This holder solves this problem in two ways for me, I can mount it on the dash and it is quite easy to mount and dismount the phone.
The vacuum for the mount is created by pressing down the lever. The gel pad is washable, so I clean it once a week to keep the stickiness at its maximum. The mount can be position in many ways, and I am attaching a video which shows how it works.
The width of the holder adjusts from 2.125" " to 3". The depth of the holder is 0.75". The depth of the holder works with a regular slim phone (with or without a gel skin). It will not hold a battery with an extended battery as it does not extend far enough to hold a fatter phone securely.
I received this phone mount from the manufacture for evaluation, testing and review. In the recent few years I had a chance to test a number of different car mounts, and this one has become one of my favorites for the phone that does not have an extended battery. Note that my husband's phone with an extended battery did not fit well, so the dash mount is not totally "universal".
