your other car phone holder is okay but falls off your vent. others that mount to the dashboard don't really allow you to view your phone at the angle. plus, those other phone holders are limited in their movement. when you try to move it to a view able able, you canã¢â€â™t. that's why you need fastball, the patented magnetic phone mount that holds your device tight.fastball works like a ball and socket joint. simply add the steel ball base to virtually any surface. then, place the magnetic disk on the back of your phone or tablet. the magnet is super-strong and holds on tight. when you want to release your phone, simply give it a slight tug. so easy!
