Is this "sticky" enough to hold a phone vertically? Or do you have to lay the mat horizontally on top of the dash and lay the phone to that?

It's not sticky enough to hold it vertically, it's sticky enough to hold it diagonally, and very sticky to hold it flat.

It is strongly suggested that the mat be somewhat horizontal to properly secure your phone. There have been some customers reporting that it can hold their phone while at a steep angle. It is not recommended, or suggested, to hold your phone vertically. I hope this helps. Thanks.

For me, out of the package it was sticky enough to hold upside down. I've had it a week and it's a bit more broken in, DEFINITELY sticky enough for a 45-degree angle.

I tried it so the answer is NO not reliably. It may be ok initally (first couple of times) but has to be at least somewhat towards the horizontal before you could depend on it to hold.

yes to both though it is clearly designed for horizontal usage. The arm is rather long, so it bounces a bit, depending on road conditions. you might want to get a shorter arm. or lean it on the dash

This does move on the dash. We use a non-slip pad underneath and it does not move with that. The brand is called Sticky Pad.

Mine doesn't stick on the dashboard either but it serves like an "armrest", I'm assuming. It balances the weight so the whole apparatus doesn't fall off from the windshield because it could get heavy with the arm being long too. Hope this helps.

Yes, I actually have it mounted to my dash, but you have to buy a gel dash pad, or sticky pad (this one has adhesive) so the base will have something to grip.

The sticky mount attaches to the foot pad making it impossible to use it on the windshield. BUT if you attach the sticky mount to a flat disk and attach that to the dashboard you can mount the car phone holder to either the dashboard or the windshield.

It didn't hold on my car- just careened off onto the floor. Its big, heavy but has no traction on the bottom. I got the vent mounted phone holder which I believe is wide enough to hold you phone.

It uses a suction cup. If your dash is smooth enough it would probably work know. I don't remember if it came with one of those sticky base plates or not.

Yes, in most cars, you'll be able to attach the sticky suction base to the top of the dashboard. In some cars that have a heavily textured dashboard, you may need to use the circular adhesive disk included. If you bring it out towards the front lip or edge of the dash, you'll be able to adjust the arm downward into a position that's convenient for you (very similar to where it would be if you were using an air vent). This is exactly how I use this mount. Love it!

Just read you inquiry again. The sticky pad doesn't stick to the surface of you dashboard, which is great. I use on the take back and forth between 3 cars. We only have on GPS and only use is occasionally. I really like it and have had it for over 3 years.

It's a snap. The phone holder is mounted to the arm (that extends from the suction cup) via a joy-stick (pivot) connection, so the holder can be rotated to any landscape or portrait position or anywhere in between, including any angle. I positioned mine just to the right of the steering wheel and angled to face me straight. My suction cup is mounted to the windshield with the arm resting on my dashboard.

If you mean will the phone holder work both vertically & horizontally. Yes it will, i use it horizontally with my Note II

I've got mine mounted on the shiny dashboard plastic on the top of my center console in my Honda Element. It has been holding perfectly since I bought it, even in 90 degree plus weather. I'm not that gentle with it either, frequently yanking the phone out from the jaws rather than unloading the clamp to remove it.

It has a suction cup mount. I have a fairly smooth dash so it mounts fine. I do not know how well it would mount to a dash that is textured, though. BTW, The angle is also perfect for window mounting as well (turned upside down).

Vertically yes definately. Horizontally im not sure. My phone wouldnt. I have a galaxy s4 active which is very large. However you can set it up vertically and there is a lock switch on the back that then will allow you to turn it sideways and lock it in place. I would say it works with most phones not matter the size you just have to work with it a little to see how it works for yours. Just be carefully when setting up and dismounting your phone. It can be fragile and will snap if your not generally careful

Yes....you are going to love the functionality of this item. It's like a clamp and holds your device in place and the cord hangs loosely next to it. It stays on the dashboard and does not slip.......I am so happy i found this item and highly recommend it.

There is a rubber pad under the phone and two tabs sticking up at the bottom of the phone. On my Droid Maxx, I have to place the mount sideways or upside down in order to reach the charging section of the phone. The app I use in the car works best vertically so the mount is upside down. I am surprised that the phone has never fallen out. The only problem is that the base connection to the glass mount sometimes disconnects since it is not upside down from design.
