Bought this at WalMarts for $5 and some change to use on our trip to AZ and back. We knew the cup holders would be full with our drinks and needed some place to put the cig pack and phone within easy reach. The black strap you see going into the vent is a bendable metal covered with a gortex type material. Just bend a " U " hook and slide it in the vent. Easy to take out if needed. A person could also just use Velcro on the small plastic piece the attaches to the strap and ignore putting something in the vent. I just didn't want to adhere any Velcro up top. Photo shows the cig pack. The Samsung Note 3 I took the pic with was sitting nicely behind the cig pack. We're still using it, after the trip:
