Weve all been there, struggling to simultaneously bring up the gripping arms while slipping our handsets inside.
The process is a lot more problematic than it should be especially if youre in a hurry.
Good news: Spigens OneTap Universal Car Mount does not have that issue.
The mount’s ingenious design lets you pull your phone in and out with minimal time and effort required.
Read my full Spigen OneTap Universal Car Mount review to find out more.
A suction cup model that sticks to your windshield or dashboard is also available for $55.
It, too, is often on sale.
And that gives me a lot more confidence that my phone is going to be securely in place.
Theres no denying that the standout design feature here is One Tap system, though.
You squeeze the two arms on the outside of the mount to launch the cradle.
At the back of the cradle is a round button that closes the grips again with a snap.
The design and the OneTap functionality is the real selling point of the Spigen OneTap Universal Car Mount.
So you wont find any additional features like wireless charging or magnetic docking here.
From there you twist the knob clockwise to retract the hook and secure the mount in place.
However, it seemed I just hadnt extended the hook enough.
Once there was a little more length to the hook, I could slip it into place pretty easily.
You may need to be gentle.
The ball-socket is nice and stiff, but not too stiff.
I cant promise what might happen if you hit a particularly nasty pothole or speed bump, though.
The grips do allow some motion, even when closed, so your phone isnt rigidly held in place.
Speaking of which, the OneTap system is quite brilliant.
bring up the grips, put your phone in place, and everything snaps back into place.
It was completely effortless, assuming I hadnt forgotten to take my phone out of my pocket first.
Its also more expensive than your basic no-brand mount youd find on retail sites like Amazon.
