Sasquatch Smartphone Car Holder

Every time I say or think of the brand's name, I chuckle. But in all reality the Sasquatch Smartphone Car Holder is incredible. I've been wanting a phone holder for a while, but hadn't caved and purchased one. Thankfully I got to try this and share my experience(s) with you.

It's kinda funky-looking, and I'll be honest, I don't like the orange color, but it is what it is. I do, however, love this gadget. It's truly a life-saver! I live in a big, busy metropolitan area, with lots of traffic, and confusing roads. Driving where I am not familiar makes me nervous. The highways, one-ways, crazy DC drivers, etc are enough to give somebody palpitations. The roads are genuinely confusing at best, and it's stressful and difficult if you don't know where you're going. I've only been here for a year and a half. #newbie That being said, when using the navigation system on my phone, it makes me even more nervous than I might already be to have to look down at the digital map on my lap. Sometimes it reorients itself based on the placement/angle, which is not easy to figure out when given a last minute merge direction, and you see three feasible options. Hallelujah Sasquatch!

You can put it on your window, or a different location on your dash, but this is how I put mine. I actually tried to set it up a little lower, below the volume button you can see in the one photo, but even with the strong hold suction and super sticky back, it wouldn't stay put there. This is because I was trying to put it vertically somewhere which any device would weigh it down. I really like it where I have it. Perfect quick glance to the right and I'm good to go.

My father recently upgraded from his succession of 'dumb' phones to a smartphone, so I gave him a little video demo of how it works, how mobile/manually manipulative it is, and the setup in my car (while parked and off). You can position your device at any angle, turn it any which way you please! The spring hold, nicely opens up to hold devices larger than my tiny (super old, and not so great) android. People have said that it even fits the iPhone 6 Plus. Finally, after showing my father not only how convenient but also how great it is, he wants one for himself too!

I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
