At first I thought I would use this mount so I could use my phone as a timer and I could easily see if any important calls or texts popped up. It certainly does that. Turns out I don’t use it for either… instead I use it for music… and balance a small speaker on top. 1) I have a hour glass timer inside which works fine and 2) my sauna time is not time I need to be worried about texts or calls… so I put my phone on DND. Worth it for whatever use you have.
