Mobile Phone Holder Doesn’t Suck

I received a Note 5 phone holder from Amazon called a Silicone Sucker. This bike mount phone holder accommodates many phone types and expands horizontally up to 7” if necessary.  It won’t handle some of the larger devices but most any brand will work. The blue foam cushions protect the device from jostling, and the bike mounting bracket is lined with a heavy rubber gasket in the same blue color as the phone bracket foam (overall the unit is black). The mounting bracket is easy to attach and remove, and allows the phone to be rotated in almost any direction. The box includes red and black webbing (why not blue?) for extra securing of the phone in its bracket. Although the box notes under “features” that the Silicone Sucker has an “Automatic switch universal clamp design” I wasn’t sure what this meant. When trying to expand the phone clamp by hand I was concerned that I might break the plastic. Then I discovered a button on the back that when pushed allowed the bracket to gently expand on its own. I assume this is what was meant by an “automatic switch.”  Once the device is inserted, a simple squeeze of the bracket gently cradles the device. Another thing I noticed is that the Silicone Sucker claims to have a “silicone suction cup base” for the option of permanently attaching the bracket to some smooth surface, like a windshield. But there is no suction cup in the box, which is fine because I intended to put it on a bike anyway. However, the packaging claims it has universal mounting options but clearly that’s not the case. Still, it works well and the automatic switch is kind of cool. But the Silicone Sucker, in this case, doesn’t suck.

I give the Note 5 (?) Silicone Sucker 4 Stars. It works fine in its bike mount but the box suggests other installation options without providing the suction cup they imply is included. Also a little clarification of the automatic switch option would be helpful. I’m not sure about the Note 5 designation. The box clearly states it’s a Silicone Sucker, and the device bracket has a logo from “leeioo”, but there’s no indication of “Note 5” on the product. This confusion cost the product a star.

I received this product at no charge or at a discount in order to give my honest and heartfelt review. The vendor in no way has influenced or edited my comments.
