Review: Mobile Holder for Car using CD Player Slot from AliExpress in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

There was a Mega Sale on AliExpress on 11th November 2016, one of the items we purchased was Mobile Holder for Car. I use Navigation on Mobile regularly and thus I have used many mobile holders in past years. In the harsh temperatures of KSA, they usually last 3-4 months. I came across this mobile holder which looked very different and tempting.

After some research, we ordered the following item:

I opted for free shipping thus the item was sent via China Post Air Parcel, which means the item was not trackable.

It was in a good enough packing. The quality is very good. I have been using it for a month and it is the best mobile holder I have ever used. In my Honda Civic 2009, it installs at the perfect position, where it's very easy to keep an eye on the road while using navigation and also it is very easy to operate the mobile. Attaching and detaching mobile is very convenient, the grip is so good that my mobile didn't fall even on very bumpy roads. It is very close to the charging slot. The only 2 minor cons I noticed were that the mobile moved a little on a bumpy road but just a cm or so and in my car it blocks the view of the car clock but I can live with these. 

In this price, with this quality, it is highly recommended!
