I tried this in my SUV and it worked really well.  Easy on and off.  I’ve been a fan of this line for awhile and continue to be.  Can’t beat the quality for the price.  This review covers the full unboxing experience, what’s included in the box, and how it performs in real-world use.

iOttie Easy One Touch 6 unboxing

Quick take: The Easy One Touch 6 improves on an already proven design with better suction, smoother operation, and a more refined build.

What’s in the Box

Out of the box, the iOttie Easy One Touch 6 includes everything needed for installation on either the windshield or dashboard.

  • Mount base with telescoping arm and suction cup
  • Phone cradle (pre-attached)
  • Dashboard adhesive pad
  • User manual

The packaging is compact and well organized. Each component is protected and easy to assemble without tools.

Notable upgrade: The suction base uses a more refined gel pad design that improves grip on textured dashboards.

Build Quality & Design

The Easy One Touch 6 continues the same core design that made earlier versions popular, but with subtle improvements.

The telescoping arm extends smoothly and locks firmly into place. The materials feel more solid compared to older models, with less flex in the arm when fully extended.

The cradle mechanism remains the highlight. The “One Touch” locking system allows the phone to be mounted quickly by pressing it against the front back of the cradle . The side arms automatically close and secure the device.  Remove the phone by pressing the two side buttons simultaneously.

This system continues to be one of the easiest to use in daily driving conditions.

Installation Experience

Installation is straightforward and takes only a few minutes.

The mount can be installed in two primary locations:

  • Windshield (direct suction)
  • Dashboard (using the sticky gel suction cup or the included adhesive pad)

The suction mechanism locks into place using a twist-lock system. Once secured, the mount remains stable even on rough roads.

The suction cup adhered perfectly to my smooth dash.  The optional dashboard pad provides a smooth surface for mounting on textured dashboards, but I was fine without it.

Real-World Performance

In daily use, the Easy One Touch 6 performs exactly as expected from this product line.

The mount holds phones securely, even larger models with cases. The cradle opens wide enough to accommodate most modern devices, including larger smartphones.

Vibration is minimal when properly installed. The arm remains stable, and the ball joint allows easy adjustment for optimal viewing angles.

The quick-release mechanism makes it easy to remove the phone with one hand, which is important for everyday usability.
