For weeks now, I’ve been putting the Grip Holder Mount for Smartphones, model number 101141, through its paces. This sleek black aluminum mount promises a secure grip, better photo-taking capabilities, and an end to accidental phone drops – a tall order, but one I was eager to test. This review will delve into its performance, features, and overall value.

The 101141 boasts a minimalist design. The black aluminum finish feels premium and sturdy. Its adhesive backing is strong, holding firm on various surfaces, including my phone case (a fairly textured silicone one) and even my car dashboard. The grip itself is comfortable, allowing for secure one-handed use. The stand functionality is simple yet effective, perfect for watching videos or conducting video calls. The compact size makes it unobtrusive when attached to the phone.

I tested the 101141 extensively. I used it for texting, taking photos (both still and video), and watching videos during my commute. The grip significantly improved my one-handed texting experience, minimizing accidental drops and making it far easier to type quickly. The added stability was evident when taking photos, resulting in sharper images and less blurry videos, especially when shooting handheld. The stand function was reliable, holding my phone securely at various angles. The adhesive remained strong even after repeated removal and reapplication.

However, I did notice a minor issue. While the adhesive is strong, it’s not indestructible. After several weeks of use, I did find a slight residue remaining on my phone case when I removed the mount. Nothing major, but something to keep in mind. Also, its compactness means it’s not as large as some other grips and stands out less, but this is a trade off for many users.

Pros:

• Secure grip for one-handed use
• Improved stability for photo and video capture
• Convenient stand function
• Strong adhesive backing
• Sleek and compact design

Cons:

• Slight adhesive residue upon removal
• Relatively small size, not suitable for everyone

Overall, the Grip Holder Mount for Smartphones (model 101141) is a valuable accessory. Its combination of secure grip, convenient stand functionality, and sturdy build makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve their smartphone experience. While there are minor drawbacks, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and I would confidently recommend this product.
