How do you lock and release the phone? Can it done by one hand? Would the suction cup leave any residue on the windshield?

Hi ..... you need to use both hands to lock or release the phone, it has 2 small handles that holds the phone o you could release the whole section that is holding the phone but it's uncounfterble .... at the moment the suction cup doesn't leave any risidue but a normal mark on the windshield that you can cleanup

I have not been able to lock and release with one hand. I use the vent holder and if I try to lock or release with one hand the holder pulls out of the vent. I don't use the suction cup so don't know about that

it does not lock and release but it does have a firm grip of the phone and very rarely comes out , and it does leave a slight residue on the windshield but some windex will take it right off.

It's possible, but not easy. On the other hand (no pun intended), this thing works great. No complaints at all and to be honest I've never had to use just one hand to insert or take my phone out. Hope this helps.

It works great on my windshield. There is an adhesive pad included with the kit and it may be better to use that than suction if you are mountng on the console. Have to say, I like having my phone up on my windshield as its very easy to glance at it while driving. When I use my phone in my husbands car, I have to look down on the console and I prefer having the phone mounted on the windshield.

You can apply some pressure as you mount the unit to the windscreen. Cleaning the silicone surface from time to time does help. Or there may be some temperature differences as when you mount the unit and it then gets exposed to sunlight, where the air inside the mount expands. Anyway, even with a secure mounting, it won't stick forever (over a course of several days), so you might have to remount occasionally. I usually detach the unit whenever I have to park the car in the middle of sunlight for extended number of hours. I didn't do so with my previous unit and it bluetooth appeared to stop functioning as I assumed the electronics should have been worn due to excessive heat.

Just fix and tight the mount untill you can move the phone with some pressure, then just move the phone to the right or left. The car mount release system is different from the bike/running release system. Hope it help, works great for me!

I leave it in place, but it is fairly easy to move and removable by turning releasing knob. The instructions included are accurate. The gel suction cup sticks well to my Honda Element's textured dash, surface must be clean, dust free, flat and u can clean and re clean gel pad with water to renew maximum suction to dash. It requires two hands to place the phone, l-pod on it and has fairly good swivel capability. It has stayed in place well for me, I have had it for 4 months. I like it.

You just put one side in at an angle and then push the other side in. The holder will give a little. It has rubber side that grip my Iphone really well. It's never come off, even with some light trail riding.

From what I see it shouldn't be an issue. It locks down using suction so to remove it all you have to do is pull the tab releasing the suction from your dashboard. The surface of the suction part is a bit sticky, not sure if that will wear out over time or not.

It's really easy to get out. One of the sides that holds the phone in place slides out and allows you to pull the phone from the holder. The sliding side never loosens, though, so my phone has never fallen out. It can totally be single handed, I usually just grab it and run. The first time I stuck the device on my car it did fall off though, I just had to stick it back on and press even harder. Hasn't called off since.

Possible but quite difficult. Removing with one hand is pretty easy. While holding the phone and applying some downward pressure, use the index finger to press up on the top portion of the clip. The process doesn't work well for insertion.

you have to find a small hard item and pry it off (try not to scratch your phone like I did). Once you have done that once it will come off easily with just your fingers.

If you are using the windshield mount option, fairly easy as it is just like any suction cup on glass. The suction cup for this is a little advanced and is made of a sticky material which may get dirty from dust and debris over time but I'm sure there is a way to clean it without damaging it.

There is a lever on the back that engages the suction cup, as well as a small tab coming off the back of the gel suction cup. You disengage the suction cup with the lever, then pull the tab upwards and the cup grudgingly releases it's hold on your dash. I've moved it in between two cars, and repositioned it once, and it hasn't left any mark.

You mean how to take it off? I just tried it on mine -- I pushed/pried back on the top left corner of the case and it will eventually pop off the phone, and you can then pop the phone the rest of the way out.

There's a little tab that sticks out beyond the edge of the cup. Try to pick that up and slip your finger underneath all the way around to release the suction cup. If you can't get your finger in, try something soft so you don't scratch the dashboard, maybe something like a Q-tip.

Clean your windshield with glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Also it's good to slightly moisten the suction cup as well.

My solution--not the best, to be sure--is not to lock the thing in the first place, just use the little lock on the screen, which is easily undone.
