FONKEN 360 Dashboard Clip Mount Review: The Same Clip Mount, With More Reviews Behind It

3.3 · Average
TINY TECH BOX SCORE

We’ve looked at three near-identical budget clip-on car mounts, and the FONKEN is the third. Spring clamp, ball joint, small cradle, no adhesive.

It has the biggest review base of the group. That’s about the only thing separating it from the JunDa and YAOKEEP versions of the same design.

Version reviewed: FONKEN 360-Degree Rotation Dashboard Clip Car Phone Mount · ASIN B08LKTZ91X · Amazon US listing · near-identical to clip mounts sold as JunDa, YAOKEEP and others.

One-sentence verdict: A cheap clip mount with no adhesive and the biggest review base of its near-identical group; it’s still a two-handed mount with a tight fit for cases, and a magnetic charger that costs a little more beats it for daily use.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • ✓The biggest review base of the three near-identical clip mounts, about 11,500 ratings, so its 3.8-star average is a more settled figure.
  • ✓Clips on with no adhesive and no residue, and it’s easy to move between cars.
  • ✓The ball joint angles freely, landscape for GPS included, and folds away when you’re not using it.
  • ✓Cheap, and it doesn’t need a CD slot, clean glass or magnets.
Cons
  • ✗You need two hands to seat the phone.
  • ✗A tight cradle fit for thicker cases.
  • ✗A 3.8-star average is still mixed, and a meaningful share of owners had problems.
  • ✗The light build means more phone jiggle on rough roads than with a heavier mount.

The review

Design and build quality

Spring clamp, short arm, multi-axis ball joint, small spring-armed cradle. In design and feel, it’s identical to the JunDa and YAOKEEP mounts.

Light plastics, a firm clamp, and joints that hold once they’re set. Nothing about the build stands out, good or bad.

Setup and ease of use

Clip it to the lip of the dashboard, a mirror stalk or a sun visor, and set the angle. No adhesive, no cleaning, no residue. You’ll need both hands to seat the phone.

Performance

On a firm edge, it holds a slim phone and keeps the angle you choose, but on rough roads, the light build lets the phone jiggle around more than you’d like, and a phone in a thick case is a tight fit. It works.

With 11,500 ratings behind it, the 3.8-star average is a well-established figure, and it tells you this mount works acceptably for most owners and poorly for a real share of them, usually because of the cradle fit or the clamp’s grip.

Compatibility

Not compatible:

Durability and warranty

No warranty, no manufacturer page. The clamp spring and ball joint loosen over time, and when they do, replace it. Don’t bother repairing it.

Price and value

At $9.59 on Amazon, the FONKEN is priced in line with the YAOKEEP and below the JunDa, for what is the same mount. Its edge is the bigger review base, which makes the mixed rating more trustworthy, not better.

For a clip mount, the FONKEN and YAOKEEP are the value picks. The honest recommendation for a mount you’ll use every day, though, is to spend a little more on a magnetic ESR HaloLock or a name-brand suction cradle.

Among the interchangeable clip mounts, the FONKEN and YAOKEEP are the value picks, and the FONKEN’s bigger review base is the only real difference. For a mount you’ll use every day, a magnetic ESR HaloLock or a name-brand suction cradle is the better spend.

Who should buy it?

Buy it if
  • ✓You want a cheap clip mount with no adhesive, and you’d rather have the one with the most reviews.
  • ✓You need a mount for a spare or borrowed car.
  • ✓Your phone is slim, or goes without a case in the car.
Skip it if
  • ✗You want one-handed use.
  • ✗Your phone lives in a thick case.
  • ✗You want a dependable long-term mount, or one that charges.

Final verdict

It’s the same budget clip mount as the JunDa and YAOKEEP, with the biggest review base of the three. It clips on without adhesive, angles freely and holds a slim phone well enough for a spare car, and at $9.59, that’s a fair price.

It’s still a two-handed mount with a cramped cradle and a mixed 3.8-star record, though, and a magnetic charger or a proper suction cradle beats the whole class for a little more money. Choose the FONKEN if you specifically want a cheap clip-on and value the deeper pool of owner feedback.
