The clips don't stay attached to the vent. The first bump I hit the phone comes crashing to the floor. How do you make this thing stay in the vent?

Squeeze the alligator clips to open them. Make sure they grab a vent luver. Works in my car.

I did not have that problem, I detached the clip put in the top until I heard it click and then rested the arm down to give it support. Then reattached the phone holder. Hope the helps.

The little thing that sticks out underneath the clips needs to be secure against your dashboard. I know this is kinda vague but I hope it helps and fixes your problem.

On mine the clips were very stiff and held onto the vent quite well, for a couple of weeks anyway. You have to spread the clip so that they grasp one of your horizontal vent rows. Make sure the end of the clips are allowed to close around the back of the vent row. Mine worked great, until it broke after only a couple of weeks of weeks of use.

I mean, it will eventually come off. I have had my challenges with taking it off, but normally I would start at the bottom of the screen where there are 2 clips and once that is off the top 2 will come right off.

This happened to me when I first put it on, too! I fixed it by putting the case on from the bottom first then pushing in the top. Hopefully that helps!

I don't like vent mounts because it obviously blocks the air vent and because I don't like the way it clamps onto the air vent blade. This makes it less stable and less sturdy than the CD slot method. More importantly, it may come down to your preference of how high you want to mount your phone.

There are clips on both sides of the phone that keep it secure. I never had it fall out even when I dropped it.

I used the adhesive disk from the mount that came with the unit Make sure it's in the right spot, it won't come off I ended up using. The vent mount Works great

I did the same thing...be sure to check the instructions again...I believe it says to use the "other" clip you're NOT going to use to help attach the clip you ARE using to click it into the round section....You may have to go to the LifeProof Website to access the instructions. Good luck!

There are two arms into the vent on springs. Each can be removed separately. Under the arm there is a tab you can reach - pull it forward, then push the arm in slightly and that will free it it be lifted up and out. Then do the same on the other arm. For more clarity, you might remove the cell phone holder first so you can the the arms and tab more easily.

You need to twist and let go, twist and let go. 1 twist and go will bring 1 level of volume up. You need to keep on doing that to max out. You can't hold it up or down... YouTube it, and you will understand what I'm referring too. Plus when you ride, keep your phone in jacket close to helmet so the connections won't go in and out. When you p I t the phone in the pocket, it goes in and out- so annoying!

There's a band that's made of rubber that hugs the phone. You have to loop it around the phone and it attaches to a small bar to lock it. The lock is not strong and the whole thing is very flimsy and awkward to use. I don't recomend it. Try the magnet holder instead, that works GREAT!

Slide the other clip under the one you want to attach ( or any other firm object) and push . Poorest design I've ever seen . It will fall off when you don't want it to. If you want to detach it, it's impossible.

We used clips to hold the canopy up, but it wasnt failproof. I ended up cutting the canopy off completely even though now i wont be able to use it outside now.

Considering that it is only held in by the USB plug itself, it isn't the tightest fit. Make sure that the USB plug is securely snapped in to the cradle itself. I usually don't have a problem with the phone falling out of the cradle. However, I was driving in Chicago a few weeks back and hit a couple pot holes that jarred the phone loose. I also installed a thin piece of foam in the middle of the cradle to stop the phone from rattling. I am overall disappointed in this mount, but I really wanted to stay with the HTC name.

Just take case off and pop the phone in the screen protector and then it will slide back on. This phone case is a lot easier than the survivor case I use to have

I had that trouble at first, but actually was glad that the shell/holster case was protecting my phone and not sliding off easily. The trick is, since the material is flexible, try the double hand action. Whereby, you grasp the holster case at one end (edge of thumb on one side 3 fingers on the other edge) bend it out a little and simultaneously, use the thumb of the other hand to push the end of the phone (shell). Remember that end of the phone(shell) is seated on the lipped end of the holster case.

I had that same problem, i had to you a flat head screwdriver, if not it would have stayed stuck in the vent. When you use the flathead make sure you push it in also due to the hooks that hold on to the vent.

I had that problem, there are two little springs that you can try to maneuver. They were under the vent and if you hold them so that the clasp opens you should be able to twist the mount off. It wasn't always easy...
