DJZNDINGJIEJIE ~ Non-Slip SmartPhone Pad For Your Car's Dashboard

DJZNDINGJIEJIE NON-SLIP PHONE PAD ~ Car Dashboard Smartphone Universal Phone Holder…. BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT © 2022 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED We all know that the use of smartphones for texting, photography, or emailing is not permitted while you’re driving any vehicle. However, there are other applications where such use is permissible as in the case of navigation. These days there are several smartphone navigation apps available that are quite useful and I might say accurate. In some cases, they rival the performance of the old stand-a-lone GPS models many of us depended on. The question now becomes how do you mount a smartphone in such a way that you can easily view and listen to its directions without having to redirect your vision in such a way as to distract your vision from traffic? I tested one such mount that at first glance appeared to solve this need. The DJZNDINGKIEJIE mount sold by Amazon is an anti-slip/shake multi-functional pad made from a high-quality flexible PVC material. It can hold your smartphone while dispensing your favorite aromatherapy stick fragrance too. Fragrances available from on-line vendors and may not be included depending on the vendor you deal with.

It can display your phone’s number if you like with fluorescent numerical stickers that glow in the dark that you place around the mount and are clearly visible outside your car’s window. It can also accommodate storing other items such as your car’s key fob, as well as place your phone in a flat position for storage when it’s not being used as a display. Sounds good doesn’t it? Well, there are a couple of major drawbacks that affect many automobiles and smartphones. Since the DJZNDINGKIEJIE mount is designed to be placed on the dash your phone’s screen is easily washed out by daylight thus making it near to impossible to view. I’ve tried several mounting positions on my Prius’ dash, but simply can’t resolve this issue.

Secondly, the two mounting sticks that hold your phone horizontally, or vertically can obscure vital viewing areas at the bottom of the screen. This can still be a problem even if you find a way around the wash out issue. In summary, the DJZNDINGKIEJIE mount is a neat concept, but appears to have a couple of major flaws that could affect many users. Before purchasing be sure to review these issues as they may, or may not apply to your use. Also, make sure that you have “RETURN PRIVILEDGES” with your supplier.
