Holy crap. That sure looks like a bad design. The only thing that would help would be a swivel adapter but that would add to the thickness of the holder considerably. I don't think they were expecting someone to put the device onto a vent mount.

Perhaps it is intended to be used with a vehicle fitted with vertical slatted air vents, it does appear a strange set up though.
I would contact the vendor and arrange for it to be returned if I were you, whilst you are at it explain the problem as it might prevent others from being put in the same situation. - Mike |
