I've been looking for a lighter car cradle with a charger cable for the cigarette. First and foremost, I wanted that my iPhone is securely held by the holder and not the iPhone throws by the car at the next bump in fright. Furthermore, the holder should be able to be rotated in portrait or in landscape mode. Finally, one should also then the charging cable with no problems to connect the iPhone, if your iPhone is already in the holder.
Looking for such a holder which exactly meets these criteria, I'm on this Navigon Car Kit Car Holder for Apple iPhone 4 / 4S encountered. I was a bit skeptical about whether I really wanted to expose my iPhone as a stress test, to get it Nondestructive from the holder by the few negative reviews. But by the many positive reviews I have but then decided to do it.
I must say that so far it has been worth every penny:
1) The holder makes a very solid impression and sits nicely laid on the windshield. In addition, it has a nice and modern design.
2.) The movement of the ball joint between mount and mount frame can be by a screw variable according to his wishes change (. For me personally, I had to make the mobility a little looser, but it's perfect nu) When I tap the iPhone in the mount frame to show no weakness here. The bracket holds the holder with iPhone continue in the right position and has not twisted.
) To portrait or landscape orientation Turn 3. Thus, since no problems.
4) The connection of the charging cable while the iPhone sits in the bowl that is possible without any problems.
5.) The inserting or taking out the iPhone was for great concern, destroying the display, completely unfounded. It is true that the Holder has worked quite accurately, but it is not so, which one must fear fear the destruction to his iPhone. The plastic of the holding shell is felxibel in so far that the iPhone pretty easy to use, but is also quite easy to remove. That could get an iPhone case with protective film issues that during insertion of the iPhone, the film could be damaged, I do not doubt. But I can say nothing more precise because my iPhone has no protector.
6.) The charging via the cigarette lighter is so far also because there is no problem. I could still find no charging interruptions and the like.
From this experience, it is to me rather a mystery how you manage when removing the iPhone from the holding shell to destroy the display. Who nevertheless is still uncertain, can also simply remove the mount frame of the bracket and then remove the iPhone from the mount system.
My conclusion is that it is a herforagende Car Holder for iPhone 4 / 4S to a heforagendem value for money!
