So, the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 car mount is pretty adjustable and has a solid reputation for being reliable. From what we've found, it's great at keeping your phone in place, even on bumpy rides or long trips.
That said, there are some things to watch out for. The suction cup can lose its stickiness over time. In particular, if you're in a hot area, the adhesive might soften and not hold as well. Some folks have noticed this issue, and there aren't replacement suction cups easily available.
To get the best performance, it's important to follow the manufacturer's advice: stick it to a smooth, clean surface. Some people have tried different adhesives to fix the issue, but those fixes don't always stick around long-term.
If you're worried about the suction cup's longevity—especially if you live somewhere warm—you might want to consider other mounting options. Options that mount in the CD slot, for instance, don't rely on the suction cup and could be more stable.
In general, the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 does a good job, but it's something to think about if you’re in a hot climate. And if the suction cup thing is a dealbreaker, it might be worth checking with the manufacturer or looking into different types of mounts.
