This Car Mount is BEYOND 5-star ! Nice sturdy plastic -- NOT flimsy at all ! Super SECURE Holder for my BIG Galaxy Note 9 in either landscape or portrait orientation. Many car holders would not work for me because I have a protective case on the phone with a retractable thing on the back to make the phone easier to grasp. This is truly a "CASE FRIENDLY" holder, as advertised. It has three adjustments for perfect positioning: (1) ball & socket allows you to get the angle of your screen just right, (2) round knob allows you to extend the holder 1.5" further from the windshield, and (3) third knob allows you to change the overall angle of the holder. There's a suction cup with an adhesive pad to attach the holder to the windshield and a nifty lever to activate or release the suction . This flexible adhesive pad has gluey stickum on it and I hope the merchant will sell additional pads. BEST VALUE I HAVE FOUND IN A LONG TIME. This is the only car holder I found that has EVERYTHING I need...I looked at every darn truck stop from Reno to Corpus Christi !
