Olixar Dock & Go Universal Windscreen and Dashboard Car Holder Reviews

Manages to stick to bumpy surface toyota aygo

My product arrived quickly. it turns my phone into a dash cam with an app which is free. great. love it. easy to fit and really sturdy.

Had to mount it from the windshield. Would not carry the weight of my iPhone 6 and protection case mounted on the dash. Not great on gravel roads.

I was really struggling to buy a holder for my wife’s Mini roadster, the air vents are too light and fall downwards and she has a flip case which made it more difficult.
The only option was this kind of holder and it works great.
Really pleased.

We pull a fifth wheel trailer. There's the backup camera, the tire monitor, the RV Mapping GPS, and the phone! I could use the flexibility and adaptability of this hands-free for several items!!! Nicely designed.

Good quality product.

I've not had a chance to use it yet due to 'lockdown ' but it does seem a good bit of kit. It was easy to order from MobileFun and arrived in good time.

We easy to set up and does exactly what it's supposed to. Recommended

This item was ideal for purpose...fixes solidly to the wind screen and firmly holds your phone in portrait or panorama.Not so good on the harder dashboard but perfect for my needs

I keep on buying this holder, one for each car and for my van. Holds my oversized mobile well on the dashboard and windscreen. Easy to slip phone in and out of it.

Bought 1 of these a few weeks back and fount very secure and easy to set up. Simple way of attaching my phone and easy to remove but wont fall out. Secure fixing to dash or screen. Have since bought 2 more for other cars in my family.

Some written information because if you don't have access to the internet or not connected it would be nice to check the information.

Holds my phone securely. Good quality. Grips dashboard well - has not fallen off once. Great suction cup design. One-handed design quick and easy to use!

I bought this after looking at several that were no where near as versatile or such great quality. Very pleased with it ah the suction on the base is very secure.

Best car phone holder I've had, so I've bought to more as gifts

Bought for my dad as he wanted a phone holder for his car. So far so good.

Its the best phone dock I've ever had. Works great & my large Samsung note 9 fits easily & with the use of only 1 hand.

The phone holder is very sturdy, good plastic components and perfect swivel mechanism. Grips really well to either glass or plastic dashboard . Recommended!

A great product holds my Samsung note 9 easily. You only need one hand to put the phone in & take it out

Item is pretty good. The only problem is that there is no instruction on how to use it. The item is self explanatory but in the beginning it took a bit of time trying to figure out how to use it. I think a simple video showing how to put you cell phone on the item will help.

Have had one of these before unfortunately it broke and couldn’t be mended. It is very good and useful as you only need one hand to put your phone into it. Excellent value for money as I had my first one for 3 years and brought my son and daughter one for their cars.
Service from mobile fun excellent as usual.

How much was it and was it simple and effective.

I have bought several of these for different vehicles and for other people. Can't recommend it enough

This works great for my needs in my line of work

Truly excellent phone holder, only needs one hand to operate and grips really well. I'm on my 3rd now and would never use another one after using this. I should point out that the only reason I'm on my 3rd is I left the other 2 in my old cars when I sold them ???? the quality is excellent and I'm sure I'd be still using the 1st one if I wasn't so forgetful.

Works fine wobbles a bit.

Easy to attach to dash and no problem to move if needed. Simple to use. Glad I bought it!

This is my second Olixar Dock & Go. Left previous one in a truck I was driving. Needless to say lost for ever. Olixars have excellent adhesion to both screen & dash board. Use for truck sat nav which is quite heavy & measures 175 x 110 mm. Holds well, not so easy to operate & is a little heavy so tends to move a little. Should be excellent for device a little smaller & lighter.

where it doesn't work

So far so good

Does what it says. Holds my IPhone in place nicely

This is a great holder very versatile and can be mounted just about anywhere. I have had this for around 2 years now.

Be aware that if you mount this on the windscreen over time the heat from the sun and your windscreen vents melts the adhesive. What this leaves you with is a phone holder that slides down the windscreen following the same path as the melted adhesive takes until it hits your dashboard rendering it useless. You have to the move the holder back up with some great force as you are going against the grain of the adhesive. However within an hour or so with the phone in the holder has slid to the bottom again resting on the dashboard.

Build quality etc is excellent with you being able to put the phone in with the case on.

My advice, buy this holder, however give serious thought to whether you mount it on the windscreen, If you can opt for the dashboard.

the product is good to use, but feel a bit big/heavy, not very slim/ light, this can be improved.

Been looking for a holder for a while for a specific reason, this one fits the bill perfectly. The rubber suction pad sticks to the dashboard very well and the paper covering for the pad is pretty good too

It is brilliant and very stable. I love how it does not require the phone cover to be removed.

This holder is so good, I've bought a second for another car. I have a Galaxy Note 8 in a chunky case and this is one of the few car holders which will hold it easily. You can just about place the phone single handedly, but it's easier to line up with two hands.

I will not hold a relatively small iPhone SE in portraits way up. I wanted to place it on the windscreen but the bracket snags on itself and is difficult to line up. Sticks to the glass really well.

I know it says phone holder but I ought it for my Tom Tom as the original one broke, it works a treat, has an excellent grip

It's great for one handed use, and for phones with a case on. I've got one in my car and works van too. Highly recommended.

Seems to be a pretty sturdy piece of ki, so far. Easy to fit and holds my phone very securely. Very pleased.

This is a solid, well made phone holder which easily copes with larger heavier phones (such as a Samsung Note). The design allows the phone to be inserted and removed easily with one hand. The suction gives coincidence the phone and holder will in place.

already had the same holder and it fell apart after several years of intensive use. so I bought another one, the same product: can hold bigger phones (like huawei mate 9) without unwanted pushing of any side buttons on the phone, and without preventing the power cable to be attached to the phone while driving.

Amazing! Easy to use and easy to set up too

Good product. Works well. Only tip is to keep the dashboard mount clean. Windscreen sucker works really well

This is the best car mount I have tried. The Suction cup holds extremely well. The mount holds the phone firm and allows you to rotate it at your convenience. The clip opens up nice an wide for large phones. I have good size phone with a Love MEI phone case which is fairly heavy and the mount holds it in place. Along with hands free calling I also mount my phone and use it as a dash cam.
Highly recommended..

A nice compact holder.

Fixed part excellent. Moveable part grabs volume keys if not careful. Would have liked more adjustable head.

Nothing.

Did exactly what I wanted it to do.

I've tried various hands-free devices before and this is my second Olixar. I bought the first about 2-1/2 years ago for my new car. It worked a treat. Very easy to use one-handed. It broke at the rotating ball joint a few weeks ago, but for the low cost it was a very easy decision to buy a replacement.

works fine never had my phone slip out or the mount detach from my window but it is very large and it took me a while to find an acceptable place to put it.

I like its adaptability to various sizes of phones and other devices.

Easy to fix and use

Excellent product

Very easy to fit and use with devices of any size makes it great if you share your car. The universal joint is a weak point however. I've broken two.

Using with my large smartphone and waze sat nav app much better in view of mobile screen and sound much better as is much closer than lower down near gear lever and much easier to use.
Mainly hands free now brilliant! easy to snap in and take out and does not obstruct view in middle of dash position! Also very easy to fit pushed down and locked firm quickly. Only using for a few days but so far very good!

Great unit with great versatility and stability only difficulty is getting phone out but I think that is more due to cover

this held the mobile phone firmly. I have only used it once and accidently turned down the volume as the button is on the side but I think with care I will be able to put the phone in without turning off the sound

Delivery was a little slower than expected. That just needs to be made clearer.

Works better on dashboard top than fixed to window

For Me, it only works in the horizontal clamped position, ( I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8) but then I can rotate it 90° to use it vertically which works best for me when using GPS Navigation.

It might happen you will buy one more same holder. I did, because I experienced how well it kept holding on different surfaces and could handel my device. One day, after more than two years of intensive use, tiny stick broke apart. That was the moment when I knew - I am ordering the same holder again. Not looking further for different one. Both of my Nokia's was in good grip.

I've tried many products to hold my phone in numerous different cars and this is the only one that has worked first time and every time.

Thoroughly recommend

This product does stick well to the dash board due to the sticky base and suction cup.

The unit fixed in place and never offered to move anywhere. My phone slotted right in and, again, never offered to move anywhere. The movement between vertical and horizontal is great. The unit actually feels quite solid, which is good.

Great item. I hope it is strong enough to hold a phablet.

It does not hold the TomTom or phone firmly since I bought it. I spend more time trying to mount it than enjoy it easily. Very wobbly and slippery and not able to hold tight and when it managed to hold, it fall off while am driving. I will deffinately not recommend this at all. Only fancy looking.

Easy to mount and easy to use. Good design & build quality. Most importantly: It is steady. Very few are. One minor gripe: why do they always show these items mounted on a dashboard, when most cars have a textured surface that means this isn't really achievable.

Item is exactly as described. I will be using it for my GPS, as it fits in just fine. Awesome gadget. Took about 3 weeks to come in, but am just fine with it. Great people to do dealings with. Thanks

It is very easy to use straight out of the box, and easy to use upside down or the reverse, clips your phone with one hand, the only thing i wish is that it stuck on all dash surfaces as the picture shows

Solid item. Arrived on time

Easy to instal and use.

its what I wanted for my new phone

Lasted approximately 2 years,before ball sheared off;in all honesty i was probably a little too aggresive.I have ordered the same model again

From the get-go, the Olixar Dock & Go would not adhere to my dashboard. Few if any dashboards are totally smooth anymore and mine has a grain effect but the device would not adhere. Fixes fine onto the glass. Next issue I found is if you want to have the phone in the portrait mode and in a readable position then the Olixar Dock & Go will not let you do this. It does not offer 360-degree flexibility as it says. The locking nut is a bit fiddly to tighten in position so you have to sore of guess the position you want and tighten it before you fix it to the windscreen. I got two one me and my wife on the special offer which I suppose means it is reasonable value for money but at full price then it is not fit for purpose as advertised. I recommend it only with limitations.

The car holder is very good. The only small glitch is that its quite difficult to attach the phone into it in a hurry. And quite easy to have the 'clamps' operate the volume buttons accidentally if not positioned accurately. Otherwise, a really good little holder.

Arrived quickly. Easy to install and use

My son has had one of these for 31/2 yrs, says it’s brilliant, so I thought I would get one.

does it fix to any surface

.

The suction plate on this holder is very good, and sticks to a rippled dash surface, but the holder mechanism is too big and doesn't offer enough adjustment for positioning the phone. It will easily adjust from landscape to portrait but that's about it. I gave up trying to find a good position on the windscreen itself. The clip that attaches to the phone could also be better because it can make unwanted presses to any side mounted switches. It switched my phone on and off several times as I drive along the first time I used it. I now have to offset the phone in the holder to clear the on/off switch

This sticks almost any flat or even slightly curved surface land holds your device securely showing access to ask the buttons and ports

A great product, very versatile. Exactly what I wanted.

This is just so convenient to use
I've bought one for both cars as well as for friends

Adhered well to the car windscreen but the spring loaded grip could do with some form of better holding material as my GPS which I used the item for slipped sideways during the vibration of the unit and had to be pushed back into its central position. Otherwise, a good buy.

Just used it in a hire car in New Zealand. Spent 3 weeks on surfaced and unsurfaced roads and it didn't let me down once. The quick insert and release mechanism works really well and meant I could leave my mobile in its case. I attached it to the windscreen to use my mobile as a satnav. All in all, good quality build and works really well.

Easy to use holder. Holds phone securely.

I tried this on the Dash and it falls off in hot weather. It definitely much stronger grip to dashboard than I thought, but if you peel it off, you will lose a bit of adhesion despite the washing instructions. So get it right first time. On the windows it's super strong, never falls off, however it's size does block a bit of view on windshield. Slightly a bit distracting. But overall it's a great windshield holder.

I love these.
Once it's fixed in place, it's so easy to use.

Works sideways fine but not upright very well, stumpy

This product does exactly what i need it to do, and it does it perfectly.

It does what it says on the box. Good value for money.

It's already the second one I've bought, gave 1 to my other half while I was using a sat nav with a mount myself but now got rid of it so just using my phone with it, also works great with any size sat nav. Really great product, good hold.

This product is great very easy to use. Happy customer

I fully recommend this product to anyone who needs to see their phone while driving. Very easy to load and unload with one hand as demonstrated. Adhesion to glass very good. Residue can be easily cleaned after removal.
Note: mine snapped at the pivot point after 2 years of constant use. I can't really complain. More of a note to the manufacturer.

This was a BOGO deal which I guess is what ultimately made me push the buy it button. First of all it took almost three weeks for them to arrive. Ridiculous in this day and age. Secondly, The first one affixed to my dashboard great, but when I decided to move it to a different location in my car, it would NOT stay in place. No matter how many times I put it on and pressed it firmly into the dash and then depressed the suction button, all i had to do was touch it with my finger and it would fall over. JUNK. The second one is still in the box and will probably end up in the garbage.

Excellent holder for mobile phone. Very quick and easy insertion in clamping arms. Very easy to install. I am using it for recording traffic videos as I drive. It is idea for this use.

brilliant product, got one in the car and one on motorbike tank, works like a dream

Best ever can remove and stick it as quickly as possible in another place

Initially I was skeptical about buying this device. Most of these such devices are both fragile and poorly constructed. This means that you must be careful when selecting one. After all - it's a device that gets a lot of usage since whenever I enter or exit my vehicle, I squeeze the easy-to-use clasp and attach the phone, or squeeze before removing the phone. Essentially, this is like a large hair clip! It holds the device firmly but without being so firm as to risk damaging the mobile.

There are a few quibbles I have in mind, but they are minor. The arms of the holder tend to sometimes push the power power button of my Samsung Galaxy S5, which turns the device off. Also, the base is an adhesive one rather than a purely suction-based application. This means that you will not be able to transport the holder to many new fixtures in the future since the adhesive wears off quickly. Furthermore, the ideal surface for the holder is in fact the windscreen glass rather than the dashboard which I was led to believe due to the stock photograph for the item.

Finally, this holder allows full rotation of the device through 180 degrees. This means I can record traffic using my phone. This will allow me to possibly reduce my insurance premium by providing evidence in case of any accident or claim such as windscreen chips.

In summary, for £9.99 (RRP £14.99) I am extremely pleased with the device. It is a bargain, and so far it has given me little cause for complaint. I'd buy it again for sure!
