Can the phone be used horizontally with this holder ?

Yes! It mounts on a ball so it can be rotated 360 and to some degree tilted. I initially used it hotizontally very close to bottom of windshield (to see more road) but now use it vertically (can see more traffic info on my software).

Yes it can! The only true limitation I have noticed are bringing the phone up ( almost making it face buy the roof but placing it in a different part of the window

Yes it can hold it in a horizontal position however, the surface must be fixed and stable (such as a table) since the stand is actually meant to hold the phone in a vertical position.

Yes it can. It can hold it either way. The only downside is that it won't fit with the case on, no matter how thin it is. I love it regardless of that though.

Works fine. Ours is holding an iPhone horizontally just to the right of the center lock area.

The short answer is no. In fact you can, but it won't work well. In 'portrait', i.e. long side vertical, the device is rock solid. The device does swivel, so you can rotate the phone to 'landscape', but it uses a tightening screw on the back that becomes easily loose if you either swivel the phone back and forth or with prolonged 'landscape' usage. I tested it for about a week, and what happens is after a while the phone swivels on its own, counterclockwise (so the top of the phone points downwards). To fix, you have to reach behind and painstakingly tighten that screw. It's too fiddly for me.

Yes, you can use it horizontal with a slimline case. I have an iPhone5 with a Belkin slim case and it has plenty of room to spare!

This mount is made to be installed vertical. I doubt that you could install it horizontally and make it work properly.

John, I have the Amazon's basic adjustable prong (I use 4) vice type, suction cup holder. I can tell you that I have no trouble mounting the phone vertically (I flip the case open and tuck it behind) or horizontally (The case hangs open by itself). I have driven several hour long trips with the phone mounted, and there have been no issues...

It was purchased for my son, so I checked with him before answering. The phone only attaches to the holster with the screen hidden (facing the body while attached). However, the holster allows the phone to rotate so it can be worn vertical or horizontal.

No, there is a specific case that is recommended for this holder. There is an insert that can be removed to allow the phone to be put in the holder with a case. Use the insert if you do not have a case on your phone.

yes this device hold my samsung galaxy s 3 securely. It does have the capability of rotating between vertical and horizontal position.

An iPhone is too long to fit vertically into the holder but most of the time that's not an issue for me. The rubber that holds the phone in place on the ends is thick durable rubber but is also flexible (almost "tire like".) If necessary you can easily snatch it out of the holder and pop the phone back in place if needed.

The size is regarding your bar size you are attar hing it to.... Both sizes will hold phone horizontally.

Yes. The tablet holder can be flipped over to face either direction. It also pivots so can be faced in any direction.

Sure it can be mounted horizontal. I've installed one in an R.V. It works just fine.

I position mine just to the side of the charging port and it holds it with no issues... I have an iPhone and I dont think it would hold it horizontally...

The part that holds the phone is on a ball joint, and you have the ability to turn the phone left, right, up and down. It works best if you clip it to horizontal air vents for the clips, this provides the best support. I have not tried it with vertical vents.
