House Held Up by TreesFrom Pulitzer Prize winning poet Ted Kooser and rising talent Jon Klassen comes a poignant tale of loss, change, and nature's quiet triumph. When the house was new, not a single tree remained on its perfect lawn to give shade from the sun.

From Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Ted Kooser and rising talent Jon Klassen comes a poignant tale of loss, change, and nature's quiet triumph.

When the house was new, not a single tree remained on its perfect lawn to give shade from the sun. The children in the house trailed the scent of wild trees to neighboring lots, where thick bushes offered up secret places to play. When the children grew up and moved away, their father, alone in the house, continued his battle against blowing seeds, plucking out sprouting trees. Until one day the father, too, moved away, and as the empty house began its decline, the trees began their approach. At once wistful and exhilarating, this lovely, lyrical story evokes the inexorable passage of time -- and the awe-inspiring power of nature to lift us up.

Good product
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
Great product. It allows my iPhone 15 pro to sit at the right angle so that it is not completely behind steering wheel. I like that it doesn’t use a glue base to secure to monitor. I have taken It off 3 times and it went back on well. The only negative I can find is that it’s a little bouncy or I should say more than I would like it to. I would recommend to a friend.

So so. Could be great with few improvements
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
Overall, this mount is decent with good functionality and quality but a few things (short permanently affixed wire, no way to stow/hide, fixed arm length) make it annoyingly fall short of great. (Phone S24+, TPU case, ESR "magsafe" metal ring sticker) GREAT: Arm rotation (i.e. portrait/left to landscape/top) is super easy with one hand via a simple push of a button that clicks into position every 45 degrees. Great design unique to this model. Most others require a cumbersome loosening and retightening mechanism that is difficult with one hand and tedious to position where wanted. GOOD: Build quality. Secure and reliable attachment to screen without adhesive. Reliable wireless charging. Pad swivel/tilt is easy while staying tight and secure without any nut/screw to loosen. Includes attractive velcro (for carpet) and adhesive (for plastic) wire routing clips. SOSO: Magnet could be stronger to support phones (like mine) with a simple metal ring vs a fully magnetized magsafe insert - still holds strong enough while driving tho. No way to stow/hide the mount when not in use - no folding hinge - the pad bumps against the display when rotating down, so it won't rotate behind - no folding hinge either. Arm length not adjustable - my S24+ is positioned nicely as-is but larger phones may cover the Tesla display and smaller phones may be too far away from it. BAD: Wire too short to completely hide behind dash and under floor mat. Made worse by a permanently attached wire at the mount. Would be much better if attached via usbc, so it could be replaced with longer wire. NOTE: If a screen protector is installed on the Tesla display, this will cause it to bubble around the clamped edges.

Very well designed mount but loosens over time
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
Works amazing but over time the mount loosens up and the phone sags or rotates on its own. There is no way to tighten it more - only the part that connects to the Tesla display.

Great phone mount for Tesla.
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
Firstly, I love that it is fastened to display via a turn knob. The previous product I had was attached by adhesive and in the summer it would fall off. Which is the reason I purchased this product. I also love the ability to adjust the arm so mount the phone whichever way you'd like.

I did not like it.
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
I was hoping this would work well, but I’m not really impressed with it. The magnet is strong and definitely holds the phone well. It also charges the phone very well. It is also fairly easy to install. That’s about the end of the pluses. Using the rubber devices they give you to help run the charging cable is something to be desired. They have not done a good job of sticking. Either it comes completely off from the car, sticky part and all, or the sticky par stays attached to the car and the rubber cable holder comes off without the sticky or Velcro part. When it’s holding the phone, if there is any kind of vibration, it shakes the phone even more. It doesn’t seem to want to stay tight against the screen. I keep having to re-tighten it so it won’t fall off. I’m already looking for another phone holder.
