Product Description

Please note that this item has been discontinued and is only available while supplies last. This model has been replaced by Arkon Model SM611, a newer version of this sun visor mount featuring the larger Slim-Grip Ultra Universal Smartphone and Midsize Tablet Holder. Shown here, the IPM511 sun visor car mount holds large smartphones up to 5.2” tall, including the iPhone 5, 5S, 5C and all previous iPhone models (such as the 4S and 3G). It also holds tablets with 7” screen size. This mount package features Arkon’s Slim-Grip Universal Holder and a mount which slips easily onto the car’s sun visor. If using the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, the iPhone 5S or 5C with a large, ruggedized case, or for larger smartphones and midsize (7” or 8” screen size) tablets, Arkon recommends Model SM611, featuring the larger Slim-Grip Ultra Holder instead.

Customers like the adjustability of the mount. For example, they say it's adjustable to handle a variety of phones or MP3 players, and works well in their Jeep. The legs are easy to adjust to allow use of an audio cable, and the bracket comes with two sizes to accommodate narrow or wide phones.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this phone mount!
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013

We have a state law requiring hands free operation of cell phones. I have a Android with an Otter Box protective cover and rather than purchasing a blue tooth device I thought if I could just find a way to hang my cell phone from my visor, right in front of my face, that would be the perfect solution. I was right. This visor mount works perfectly and I love it. Since the bracket is spring loaded, it will accommodate a wide variety of sizes of phones. The bracket comes with two sizes to accommodate narrow it wider phones like mine. The whole bracket swivels around and tilts up and down so you can position your phone at the best angle. The quality of this product and it's usefulness is far better than the price implies. Highly recommend this item and will be buying more as gifts.

This product does what it claims to do. It is made of solid plastic and doesn't feel flimsy at all. However if you have a small car I would look for something different. I have an acura tsx which is a small sedan. When I mount this on my visor it takes up so much space that the phone is obstructing my view through the windshield. I don't think this would be a problem in a car/truck with a larger cabin. Solid product , just not for me.

very weak grip on my visor when holding my very light optimus V. It bounces around due to the lack of pressure resulting in very low friction with the top of the visor. I never use it unless i am in a bind and absolutely have to have my phone mounted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great option for using iPhone Speakerphone in Car
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2012
Verified Purchase
I bought this so I could more conveniently use the speaker phone on my iPhone 4 while driving. It works great for me. The phone fits in very securely, with the case still on which is also a huge bonus! It stays enough out of my way to attach to the driver's side sun visor while driving, though when I'm not planning on using it I do often move it to the passenger side or place it in my cup holder. Overall very happy with this purchase!

I really wanted to like this product. It was exactly what I was working for. However the quality is poor. The legs, which hold the phone in place, are too loose which causes the unit to rattle and the legs to eventually slide off when not in use. I contacted the company and received a quick reply that they would replace. That was weeks ago and nothing has been received to date. I wouldn't place much trust in this product or company.

This is a nice product for my phone. I've had several different styles of phones and this has worked well with each. Clips to the visor and keeps the phone within easy access and secure. The only downside to this is the bulkyness but I hate having things on my dashboard so this was a great alternative for me.

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014

Works exactly as it should - holds iPhone 4 securely and pivots to change the angle of the screen. Mine was also supplied with extended legs that work perfectly with the new iPhone 6. I truly appreciate companies and products that are forward thinking enough to provide accessories for the user that work with newer versions of technology. Would buy again, but based on the quality I've seen so far, I won't need to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Problems with iPod Touch 4G
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2011
Verified Purchase
While the Slim-Grip does hold the iPod firmly, you will not be able to use it with both a charging cable AND an auxiliary audio cable in the headphone jack. You can only use one or the other, if you utilize both grips on that end of the device. The ports are simply too close together for the adjustable grip to fit in between, and there is not enough surface on the far end for the grip to provide support. This is not an issue with the iPhone 4 because the ports are on opposite ends of the device. I do like the design of the IPM511, and it places the iPod at the perfect spot for me. To make this thing usable for now, I am using only one grip on the port-end of the iPod. Depending on how the spring-loader behaves, I may change which end has only one grip. Only time will tell how long that lasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a perfect solution, but better than most
Reviewed in Canada on April 19, 2013

After having bought a new car this year, I was scrambling to find a mount for my iPhone. I had one that I used to mount to the air vent in the centre console, but the car I have now has round vents and the old mount won't work. I considered suction cup. I considered permanent custom mounts. Then I came across this visor mount. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

The thing I like most about this mount is that you can leave the visor clip in place permanently and remove the phone mount and store it away. This allows you to use your visor as per normal. Another thing I like about this mount is that it is not meant for any particular phone (or car for that matter), so if I ever change models, it will still work. The position of the phone while mounted is pretty decent - higher than I'm used to but still very usable. It is suggested to mount the clip on the passenger visor. I found that to be too far out of my line of sight. Plugging it in while mounted would be a pain, but that's not normally an issue for me as I only need it mounted while I'm using the phone as GPS for less than 30 minutes at a time.

Well made product, delivered promptly and appropriately packaged.
Positioning the phone on the visor doesn't really work. Causes problems with folding the visor down or stowed. Decided not to use it and sold it on ebay.
