No suction due to cold, but great grip

Right away let me say that I wanted to like this product. Unfortunately, a lack of suction made it impossible for me to fully test this in my car. However, given the weather in Wisconsin, I fully attribute that to the extremely cold weather.

Because of that, I'll review what I can, and will update once warmer weather returns.

So, that said, the grip on this mount is fantastic. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with a very thin backing and had absolutely no issue with a strong grip.

By far, the nicest addition is the 'quick release' that allows you to quickly release your device from the holder.

If it weren't for the suction issue which prevented me from using this, I would have rated this fairly high. However, since I had no suction, and can't be completely sure whether it's due to the cold, I have to give the Panavise PortaGrip Phone Holder with Windshield Mount a neutral rating of 3 of 5 stars, but will update once I'm able to test the suction in warmer weather.
