Do you have to remove it from the vent every time you want to mount your phone?

No... I dont. But you might be aware that it does not fit to EVERY kind of vent. Mine, for instance, is a Nissan Livina... it fits but does not fit hard... it still a kind of dropping...

I guess that would depend on how dexterous you are. The spring tension is pretty strong so it might be easier to take the mount off to remove the phone. The way I have it set up is that the mount is holding a Google Qi wireless charger, and the magnets in the charger hold my Nexus 5 phone. If I were taking my phone in and out of the Kenu directly, several times a day, I would probably find that annoying. Hope that helps.

Not particularly. It's easier to handle if you do, and incredibly easy to put back on though, but not required by any means.

No, I leave mine on the vent all the time. comes off pretty easy, there are two thicknesses for the vent so it stays on tight I just bought three more for friends, no more of that ugly plastic

I is easier to keep the phone on the mount, answer the call, then snap the mount back onto the vent. It takes two hands to place and remove the actual phone onto the mount. But it's so light weight, it's easy to talk on the phone while the mount is attached.

No, once it's in place you can leave it there. The only time I removed mine was to use it in a rental car while on vacation. Warning - don't leave it in the rental car like I did.

No the right side of the sides that hold the phone slides over and you slip the phone in. The holder itself is small and in my car blends in and isn't noticeable. I generally use my phone in the holder when I need navigation.

I donno, i always just leave it mounted most of the time, i only removed it like 3 or 4 times, and it works just fine.

No, you have to unscrew it. I preferred that for a little more theft deterance. Overall I love this rack

Yes you can leave it on all the time. I never had problems with my phone overheating, even if it was in my pocket.

No you do not have to remove case. You can also keep case on when you want to charge phone. Fits perfectly and its not too bulky.

This particular model doesnt need to bolt to anything. The "backplate" has a swivel on one side to connect to the bracket that holds the phone. The other side has hooks that you slide in the spaces on your vent and it hooks around that holding it in place. Idk if this description helps or not.

I am using it my work car so it never comes out, wouldnt be fun to have to remove every time your not using it.

Yes it does. It comes out at the bottom. This is what it should do though so it doesn't back up in the vent pipe and cause a fire. It's designed to little critters out of the vent. I love it.

I like it better than the vent mount which is what I had before. I have have a 5 and it works fine with the case on.

The unit has a suction cup with a material that is very sticky that seals so well that the bond is very strong. My dashboard has a typical hard plastic surface that is not absolutely smooth; the texture is a pebbly faux leather with very small, rounded bumps. Also, the dash is slightly curved where my unit is mounted. Nevertheless, the iOttie has stayed in place since I mounted it two months ago. With respect to your question about removal, yes, it was easy for me to remove it from the dashboard when I repositioned it during initial mounting. I cannot speak to how easy it would be if I removed it now, but have no reason to believe it would be different. Removal was not a matter of releasing the lever on the suction cup ... that was step 1. I used the tip of a plastic knife to gently lift the edge of the suction cup up enough to allow air into the center, then peeled the unit off. It left a little sticky residue--very slight--that wiped off with a damp cloth. The iOttie remounted easily immediately thereafter and has stayed put ever since.

No. You have to take it off. But it is very easy. If you have an audio cable that is not wide and is just the plug part like the wall charging one...then you don't have to.

Yes. I do it all the time. Wipe it off promptly or it's a little hard to clean later. But it still comes off.

Nope you need to remove the mini from any case before putting it into the mount.

The vent connection to the back of the unit is precarious, but once you get past that installation it work well. Typically a window mount unit is heavy and there is always a chance of it falling out the window. Yes removing the vent from the window for the entire summer is a lot easier than taking a window mounted unit out of the window and putting it in the basement for summer storage.Here is a video for a different model that explains installation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ5PHudhbn0Another interesting link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgKepZvJ-RU

Yes it comes off. I never used mine. This case works so well I got the max for my phone. Looked brand new, like out of the box new after four years. Mine is for sale on Craig's list.

Thanks for your question, Jessica; there is a suction base that will allow the user to uninstall the mount. In fact,I've moved it from it's initial position on the windshield to the top of the dash (the extreme rake of the windshield put my Note2 used as gps too far to access easily). Yet, I don't believe that the adhesive on the unit is geared towards the user doing this sort of thing continuously. The Intek is more of a "Set & Forget" type of thing, in my view. With that said, I continue to be very pleased with it's service and value. Hope this helps in your decision.

No you program the vehicle and then remove it...when you no longer want it you plug it back in remove the program and and then disconnect it...Nothing gets permanently mounted.....
