The bracket has now six months behind and use still holds. She is not in the summer heat, yet like in winter when ice down or loose. She sits still properly fixed on the disc. I have in a Samsung S3 (with plastic cover) attached, which fits easily. Also the Samsung Note2 including plastic bag fit in, even if the gripping arms not much further diverge as the cell phone & Case are wide. The mobile phone with shell can be inserted, the gripper arms are minimally compressed and as the gripper arms are slanted outwardly, also the big score 2 is maintained easily and safely. Absolut top!
