    Product Description

    Please note that this item has been discontinued and is only available while supplies last. This model has been replaced by Arkon Model SM615, a newer version of this windshield or dashboard mount featuring the larger Slim-Grip Ultra Universal Smartphone and Midsize Tablet Holder. Shown here, the IPM515 holds Apple iPhone 5C, 5S, 4S, 4, 3GS, and iPod touch, as well as smartphones measuring up to 5.2” tall. This mount includes Arkon’s Slim-Grip spring-loaded universal holder, a low-profile mini windshield mount with one-touch suction lever, and a 3M adhesive disk for dashboard mounting. A swivel head on the mount provides 360° rotation, giving you the ultimate flexibility in viewing the iPhone from any angle. The high-polish, glossy black finish on the holder was specifically designed to complement the iPhone. Included with the holder are 8 support legs (4 short and 4 longer versions). The ideal configuration for the iPhone 4S and previous models is to have 2 short legs on the top of the holder and 2 of the longer support legs on the bottom of the holder. For the iPhone 5S or 5C, use all 4 of the longer support legs with the holder. If using a large, ruggedized case with the iPhone 5C or 5S, Arkon recommends the new, larger Slim-Grip Ultra Mount instead. See Model SM615.

    A Better Me Is On The Way
    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Phone Holder for the Car I have found + Great Customer Support
    Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this Phone Holder from Amazon in Feb. 2012 for $11 and it is now October 2013, so it has worked well for close to two years. I learned to mount my phone in the holder and remove it with one hand, so it is very "handy" and fast to remove when you are ready to go. I have a Ford Expedition and I mounded the dashboard disk on the top of the retractable ash tray lid, so I can remove the Phone holder if I want, push in the ash tray, and the mounting disk is out of site. BTW... I have a DROID Incredible, not an iPhone. Has a far superior GPS navigator than the iPhone which is what I always use in my truck.

    The Phone Holder as worked great until recently when the support legs started to break. I went online to find out how to purchase extra legs and was led to reviews at the same location where I purchased my Akron Phone Holder. The reviewer said that it comes with "EXTRA LEGS". I completely forgot about this, looked in the drawer in my office where I usually throw stuff like that, thinking I would never find them, and there were the extra legs in a plastic bag. I couldn't believe that I actually found these extra parts after more than a year, when I usually lose stuff like that or forget where I put it. So, I figure I am set for another year or two. If I hadn't looked at Amazon for problems with the legs, I would have never known that I already had extras, and would have purchased more. See... It pays sometimes to read reviews.

    Product PROS:
    1. Holds phone secure
    2. Easy to Install
    3. Easy to mount and remove phone (even with one hand)
    4. Comes with EXTRA LEGS
    5. Good price for what you get

    Product CONS:
    1. Suction cup holds for about two weeks and then falls off and you have to re-suction it. Not so bad, but not as good as it could be.
    2. Plastic lets break with 1-2 years of use, but you get FOUR EXTRA LEGS because I am sure they know that the break with normal use.

    Overall 4 stars because of the LEGS... but it only cost $11 so I am upping it to 5 STARS

    UPDATE *****>>>>>>>>>>>
    March, 2014:
    I have now had the car holder for over 2 years and it is still working fine except for the plastic feet. I only have three left, so I wrote Arkon (customer service on Arkon.com) like another customer did, and they are sending me eight new legs... WHAT AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE... This is even slightly outside the warranty period. You don't usually find that!!!! They wrote me back the very next day after I emailed.

    So overall: Good holder, suction cup as good as most, and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE: Free replacement legs after some of them broke off the holder.
    Thanks Arkon

    3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, medium quality
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2013

    I have a Nexus 4, which unfortunately does not have an official dock, hence the Arkon. I looked around for some time, and this was the only one that made any sense to get.

    The windshield suction works fine. The part that holds the phone also works securely, but I wonder whether the sprung mechanism that retains the phone is sturdy enough to last. Feels like medium build quality, might fail after a few months unless you baby it.

    I was not able to tighten the ball joint enough without it sagging in mid-flight. The Nexus 4 is a medium-large phone, and I have a significant case, so it's probably on the heavier side of the spectrum. I read about a hack of inserting a square of microfiber around the ball, which I will try.

    All in all: not bad for an inexpensive third-party accessory. If I can get the ball joint straightened out, the modded version would get 4 stars.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, minimal, works great...
    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this for my iPhone 4 (GSM) to use with my GPS software application while driving. I use it to mount my phone in my 2008 Audi A4 and it looks and works great. The overall mount is clean/minimal looking and is not bulky which I liked. So far, once mounted on my windshield using the suction cup, it stays put and does not wiggle around while driving.

    The suction cup seems very stable once hooked up to the windshield which was a worry I had prior to buying any iPhone 4 windshield mount. I of course didn't want the phone to come crashing down and possibly break or God forbid I get in to an accident and it rockets off the mount like a missile aimed at my face. After using for a few days (I commute 2 hours per day M-F) I know this won't be an issue. Once on the windshield it feels rock solid.

    I also like that it has adjustable "prongs" which grab on to the top and bottom of the iPhone. This allows for you to adjust the prongs so as to clear the power button/headphone jack on top and the dock connector on the bottom. This allows me to also plug the phone in using my car power adapter when driving which is a must for my long drive.

    I gave it 4 stars and not 5 due to the use of the spring which helps hold the iPhone in place once in the mount. This makes it super easy to get it in to and out of the mount. But, I assume, way down the line, it (the spring) will become weak and thus render this nice mount useless. But, maybe not... Either way, for the price I assume this will last quite a while and you'll definitely get your monies worth.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek, simple, and functional
    Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2011

    All the positive reviews written for this item are valid.

    This is definitely the best looking windshield/dashboard holder for any smartphone that I've ever seen, mainly because of its sheer simplicity. It's not some big clunky thing hanging from your windshield, obstructing your view, noticeable by oncoming passerby 5 miles up the road. No, it's not any of these things... thank god. This thing is simple and sleek, has a gleaming black piano finish, and does little to detract from the beauty that is your smartphone. Suction is strong and so is its grip on your phone.

    My wife has an iPhone 4 and I a Droid Bionic, and it holds both really well. It comes with the 4 prongs pictured, which can slide along the shortest sides of the holder. This is a really great feature, allowing you to place the prongs out of the way of any power buttons or audio/video ports. Also comes with 2 additional extender prongs, which I am using with my Droid Bionic, allowing you to fit slightly larger devices.

    Great price, great product... this is a no-brainer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfekte Halterung für Smartphones (iPhone 5 o. iPad Mini)
    Reviewed in Germany on December 27, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Ich habe den Artikel über Weihnachten erhalten und kann ihn uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen,
    weil für mich folgendes zählt:
    + niedriger Preis
    + einfache Installation
    + passgenau für fast alle Smartphones
    + stabil an der Windschutzscheibe anbringbar
    + kein Wackeln, nichts was quietscht
    + Gerät (Smartphone, iPhone 5) sitzt fest und gut gehalten drin
    Dies können viele Universal-Halterungen.

    Was mich aber besonders überzeugt hat (iPhone 5):
    + keine Behinderung der Knöpfe vom iPhone 5 (alles im direkten Zugang)
    + Ladestecker kann von unten locker eingesteckt werden, ohne dass das iPhone oben wieder rausrutscht
    + wenn das iPhone (5) in der Halterung ist, ist bis auf die kleinen Halter nichts von der Halterung zu sehen

    Negative Punkte:
    - nichts bisher identifiziert

    Installation:
    - insgesamt werden 8 Halter (4 kurze, 4 lange) mitgeliefert, die hinten in die Gesamthalterung eingehakt werden (hängt von der Größe des Geräts ab, welche von den Haltern benutzt werden)
    - Halterung mit Saugnapf anbringen, evtl. den Schraubverschluss hinter großen Fläche gut zudrehen, damit es nicht wackelt
    - Dann drückt man beim "Einklemmen" des Smartphones zwei Haken nach unten und läßt diese mit dem Smartphone nach oben drücken.

    Auch ein iPad Mini läßt sich damit auch ohne Probleme einklemmen, wie ich ausprobiert habe...
