text: After 6mo. of use I am having no issues with the adhesive and the loop is helpful anytime I want a little extra security in my grip. The reason for my 3 star rating is how loose the moving parts have become. At first it was a bit difficult to turn the loop to the position I wanted, but after a few weeks of use it became so loose that it has now has very little stability. When I want to use it as a stand I can only prop my phone in landscape. Even that is difficulty because the swiveling center piece has become so loose on the adhesive base that the loop slides out of position too easily. The pin holding the loop has lost some stability as well, preventing me from ever again standing my phone in portrait position.
