iOttie Easy One Touch 5 Air Vent Mount - 360-Degree Rotation

iOttie Easy One Touch 5 Air Vent and Flush Mount, model HLCRIO172, attaches to an air-vent blade and holds smartphones in portrait or landscape orientation. Its compact cradle combines a twist-lock vent clip with a one-touch phone release.

Compact Vent Mount Design

The mount measures 4.2 x 4.2 x 4.0 inches and weighs 5.3 ounces. Its cradle accepts phones from 2.3 to 3.5 inches wide, according to the listed HLCRIO172 specifications.

The adjustable lower foot supports larger smartphones and cases, while the clamp rotates 360 degrees. That range allows either portrait or landscape positioning without changing the vent attachment.

Twist Lock And Cable Control

iOttie's twist-lock air-vent clip secures the mount by turning against a vent blade. The same page lists a magnetic cord organizer on the bottom foot, so a charging cable can remain close to the cradle.

The front holder uses iOttie's Easy One Touch mechanism. Pressing the side buttons opens the cradle, and the phone can be released after the side arms close around it. The mount does not provide wireless charging or a power connection.

Price And Compatibility

iOttie lists the HLCRIO172 at $24.95 (as of 09/22/2026). B&H Photo lists the compatible phone width as 2.3 to 3.5 inches and identifies the product as a car air-vent smartphone mount.

The mount is aimed at drivers who need a universal holder rather than a phone-specific case or magnetic charging system. Compatibility depends on the phone and case staying within the stated width range and on the vehicle vent providing a suitable blade for the twist-lock clip.

Verdict For Daily Driving

Compared with a dashboard or windshield mount, the HLCRIO172 uses the vehicle's air vent and does not require a suction base. Its 360-degree rotation, 5.3-ounce weight, and 2.3-to-3.5-inch cradle range make it a compact choice for phones that fit those measurements.
