Kensington iPhone iPod Power Port Mount Review

Great concept, poor execution. Fits nearly any universal device. Device can be rotated into portrait or landscape mode. This product is great if you're lucky enough to have it fit your car.

Cons: The plug is physically too long for my 2007 Nissan Frontier. It hangs out by about a half inch. I had to put rubber bands around the plug to make it grip tight enough so it wouldn't slide out or spin around.
Also, the neck is VERY stiff. That's a good thing for stability, just make sure you're very careful adjusting it so you don't break the device.

Other thoughts: I would've preferred a couple USB ports instead of another power plug. Now in order to get a USB port I'll need to plug one into the car dock and add even more clutter. Being that this is for mobile devices, a USB port would've made more sense.

Hey, thanks for watching. I primarily did the video because it was hard to find reviews of this thing online. I like it, but with the issues I've had with it, I wouldn't buy it again for my car. I would get a mount that either clips somewhere, suction cups, or sits on my dash. In another vehicle with a normal power port, I would love this thing.

Thanks for the review. I am considering purchasing this mount.
