Product Description
The SM429-SBH air vent car mount is ideal for use with the iPhone 5S and 5C, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and previous Galaxy S phones, and Galaxy Note 3. The universal design of the holder accommodates any smartphone having up to 3.25” width with no height restrictions, making it compatible even when used with a large protective case or skin. It includes Arkon’s Mega Grip one touch push-button holder and air vent mount with swivel ball head. The air vent mount clips onto any horizontal car air vent louvers, and a support leg rests on the bottom of the vent for added reinforcement. The holder’s unique side-grip technology provides a strong grip that’s easy to use. Just set your phone in the mount and close the arms to lock in place. A push of the holder’s side button releases the phone. The swivel ball head of the air vent mount provides 360° rotation, giving you the ultimate flexibility in viewing the smartphone from any angle. Garmin GPS devices can also be mounted to the car’s air vent by simply unscrewing the swivel ball adapter and revealing the 17mm ball mount base. Replacement air vent clips are provided directly by Arkon under a limited lifetime warranty.

iPhone 4 with Otterbox Defender
By J. Bair
This is a great little vent mount! I needed something to hold my phone when I was driving. There's a little pocket where I can place my phone while driving (Volvo S60) but you can't see the screen. This fit the bill perfectly. The load bearing piece on the bottom lines up great and holds the weight well. Some notes for my specific config:
1. The holder does bounce a bit since it uses the weight of the phone to hold it in place. Though it's not much, it's worth noting. It only really goes *up*. never down. The mount itself grabs on very well in the S60.
2. Pivoting from Portrait to Landscape requires you to pull out on the mount. It's not immediately obvious, but after fiddling around I figured it out.
3. In my specific application (Otterbox case + iPhone 4), the phone is too heavy for landscape. The mount pivots up/down in landscape and left/right in portrait; as a result, when in landscape, the mount just sags down. There isn't enough feedback to hold it up. Not a huge deal, but not optimal.
Due to #3, it gets 4/5 stars. Still, it's a really great mount for my application and works awesome. I use it in Portrait and may just use some super glue to allow landscape viewing (I don't need to adjust the angle at all anyway). Hope this is helpful to others looking at this holder!

Nice grip, but..
By Gilf
Update: Just bought another for my wife's car. First stand I had to last so long.
This holder fits all the devices I currently have (iPod, Nokia N900, Nokia N8 and Nexus S), and the grips also allows to put the thinner devices in landscape mode for navigation.
The vent grips, however are not maneuverable enough to fit in any car. Fitted in a Mazda and Ford Explorer, but not in Hyundai vents. Make sure your vents flaps are horizontal and located as much to the center of the dashboard, otherwise you might be disappointed.

Easy to view, but
By Todd
I was looking for an Iphone mount without having something attached to my windshield for my 2001 Mustang. I bought the Arkon SM429-SBH because I liked the flexibility of viewing angles it provided.
I received without instructions, which is no big deal. I got them from their website. The instructions contradicts itself from the picture of the mount itself and the assembly instructions. The bottom support is shown one way in the picture and shown differently in the instructions. The viewing position in my car is just right. The mount held my Iphone with an Otter Box case in padded collapsible side braces with a convenient release button to remove the phone. The mount blocks my climate controls a little but with the distance it is set away from the dash I can still adjust them by reaching under the mount. I can easily change from portrait to landscape. The friction knob at the pivot works good. It has a good range of viewing angles.
The problem with this mount is the bottom support just dosen't cut it. With the mount in place without a phone the vent louvers can be adjusted without a problem. Once you put the phone in the weight pushes the vent louvers all the way down. If the lower support that rests on the dash had more resistance it would support the phone better and allow vent louver adjustment.
