However, the suction cup is almost ridiculous the way it sticks to flat smooth surfaces. After the first application, it is not coming off without some time and effort prying it away (and, yes the suction lock lever was released). I would suggest using a crowbar. It might loosen it’s grip with time as some debris accumulates on the surface but that’s definitely not the case when new.
My initial plan was to store the mount in the glove box after each use but then I quickly realized that was just not practical. I applied it a second time and plan to leave it there until it falls off. I’m fairly sure the zombie apocalypse will arrive first, so no worries there.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about the sticking power of the suction cup. You want it to stay put and it will. However, I imagine the force required to remove a strong healthy non-defanged headcrab would be less than this thing. So, don’t say your weren’t warned.
I will probably purchase one more for the other car since installation is semi-permanent.

Pros
-Best car mount I’ve had so far for the iphone 4s. Usually car mounts won’t accommodate cases for the iphone and it’s a pain to have to remove it to dock the phone. This is great because it accommodates my skin case, my silicone case my otterbox, basically any case I have on my phone.
-When they say one touch they mean it. I only need one hand to dock my phone when I get in the car. no more fiddling around while driving.
-Suction sticks, even in hot weather the suction has not broken or melted
-Price for something that is simple and just works, 20 bucks with S&H included is a bargain.
Cons -the side buttons feels a little flimsy. If you are rough with your things this may not last as long. I would say that I take care of my things fairly well so I don’t see this as a big problem. I gently place my phone on the mount so I’ve had no problems with it breaking.

I am so very impressed by this car mount! I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S III which is a pretty large phone. I have been searching for the right car mount forever and reading reviews of several different makers and models. This is the only one of which I couldn’t find a complaint that it didn’t fit or it was too wobbly or that the thing just didn’t stick to the car surface well. And guess what? It’s true! This is a firm holder that sticks like crazy (don’t worry, it comes off …eventually with a lot of muscle, it’s just suction device so it won’t harm you car interior). The only problem I had was I could get it to stick to the vinyl dash board of my Mini Cooper which is not exactly known for interior real estate. I finally decided on the plexi-glass that covers the gigantic speedometer in the center of my dashboard. It has held really well for a couple of days now, even in the heat of a 105 degree Southern California Summer. It makes me giddy thinking about how cool my car mount is, holding my new cool phone. By the way, this car mount even fits my phone with the protective phone cover on! It was under $20 which worried me that it would be a cheap product, but it just isn’t so.

Authors bio is coming up shortly. 
Suction cup better than super glue.,
One handed mounting is very convenient. The mount seems to be made of a good quality plastic with strong knobs and hinges. It holds the iPhone 4s in an Acase(TM) iPhone 4 and 4S Superleggera PRO Dual Layer Protection (Black/Black) case (Fits AT&T, Sprint and Verizon iPhone 4 and 4S) with a the charging cable attached. Excellent – all my requirements met.
However, the suction cup is almost ridiculous the way it sticks to flat smooth surfaces.
