CLINGO! Windshield mount review

[Fat Tony]

IT SUCKS!

I purchased a Clingo windshield mount off of ebay and if they put as much thought into the product as they did the packaging, maybe they'd have a working mount.

The box? IT'S AWESOME! This is the best packaging I've ever seen. There is a little magnet thing-a-ma-boby that closes the box and to open it you just pull a little bit and you feel the magnet release! High quality construction on the box. Supreme packaging. Excellent logo and why am I talking about the packaging so much? Because the product sucks hairy bean bags. The Evo came in recycled egg carton material and it rocks. This ....

The suction cup that attaches to the windshield? AMAZING! Super strong. Once you lock down, it's not letting go.

The arm that moves 90 degrees? AMAZING! Super strong and has a tensioning screw, once you tighten it, it's not moving.

The pivot ball thingy that swivels so you adjust your phone where you want it? SUCKS! It's loose and does not have any strength, resistance or setting. It's barely enough to hold the evo straight.

The green tacky stuff? Pure crap. It's like they took rubber cement and dyed it green. It'll hold your phone for one to two minutes tops.

I washed the green sticky stuff with soapy water as instructed. Allowed it to dry. Then tried to stick the Evo to it. It does not like rubbery surfaces. So if your using a naked evo or a Seidio innocase, the Clingo will not work for you.

If you're using a different phone with a super smooth surface? It'll work fine (except for the ball swivel thingy being loose).

Bottom line: DO NOT BUY THE CLINGO
