Clingo Review
I have been using the vent mounted Clingo Mount on my Incredible for about two weeks now and thought I would drop some comments and hints.
- I really like the mount because it is not bulky and looks clean and sexy in my jeep. Also, the mount in no way interferes with the vehicle charger cord.
- I also had an issue with putting the mount on my vent until I realized that I had to attach the mount sideways to the vent louvers then just rotate the green mount plate 90 degrees. Also, close the vent louvers prior to attaching the mount to decrease airflow because like mched stated above it locks the vent into either an open or closed position depending on what you had it prior to mounting.
- As far as how well it keeps my phone secure while driving, I have had no issues when it just the phone on the mount. It stays on and in fact I have to give it some "umph!" to peel the phone off. However, I have noticed when I hook up the charger to it, that it will occasionally fall off probably due to the weight of the charger cord or pull of it. It fell off twice on a 2 hr road trip while connected to the vehicle charger...both times over semi-ruff pavement in construction areas on an interstate.
- Call quality is someone muffled. Callers can hear me, but since the speaker is on the back it can be a little muffled to hear them with AC on. I just have to remember to turn off the radio and turn phone speaker on...or maybe Santa will give me a bluetooth ear piece to use only while driving, even though I think those look dorky walking around in public.
Bottom line...A clean looking mount that will keep your phone accessible & secure 95% of the time. Definitely worth the $15 I paid for it at a local store especially considering the significant lack of attractive options out there for Incredible users.
