Too each their own! I live in Texas and I bought this thing at the beggining of summer and it has only fallen off once! and it was my fault! Sure it would take a minute to figure this Algebraic equation out(sarcasm) but as long as you don't get pissed and hoss it, it shoudn't break! The quality isn't the best but for the price can you beat it? It looks like this thing has a 90% satisfaction rating and I agree it probably isn't for everyone. I use an iPhone 3gs and it works fine.Over 90%, I say theres not much risk on this one.11 Sept 2010, This thing finally broke a couple of days ago. The rubber part literally stretched and broke! but well in the hight of a Texas summer what wouldn't?I'm here to buy another, loved it so much and now I'm going nuts with out it!1st addendum: The second one I received was not the same as the first but worked so I kept it. it lasted a couple months and dropped off my windshield to break into pieces on my floorboard. back to buy another.2nd addendum: 19 sept 2011, the third is the same as the second, a little less than crap. there are quite a few of these types here on amazon and they are all the same? just for different prices.3rd addendum: The third one broke today : (These new models only last two/three months
