RAM Mounts X-Grip Large Phone Mount with RAM Twist-Lock Suction Cup Base RAM-B-166-UN10U with Medium Arm for Vehicle Windshields, Black

Very good phone holder the best on the market I only buy the best not rubbish

Although it is very secure when in position on screen, it is very difficult to remove the phone without either turning the phone off or restarting as it's really awkward to avoid the side buttons on the phone, especially when it's in a case, as mine is. There isn't a single button or lever to release it. Google search and YouTube advise squeezing the holder inwards to release phone. I find this too difficult as the pressure required is considerable and it stresses the attachment to the screen. Had I known this when I was looking for a mount, I wouldn't have bought this one. It's a lot of money for an item that is so difficult to use. More thought needs to be put into the design. The packaging has been recycled so I am now unable to request a refund and am considerably out of pocket.

My criteria to buy: cost; will it hold a Nexus 5 phone or Nexus 7 tablet (not at the same time); fit well in Acura TL; multi-use ability for car or bike (still need to buy the component for bike). Other than the cost, its a Winner! If cost are not an issue - hands down this is the tops of all the mounts. Easy use; fast no-fuss setup, rugged construction. Smooth operation when needing any adjustment or when changing out phone or tablet. There were other mount models that are unique design, compact, lower priced (not necessarily cheap material/made) but after long review on the web, the RAM website, and other reviewers, I believe the RAM products are superior in material and construction and effectively functional design. This item was listed in Amazon's Automotive section and didnt have a product picture - almost missed it in the long list of other mounts. Once I found the RAM products, they get high marks and I agree. The RAM products are component based. I specific item was a one item purchase but it has the following components: the 3.3in (larger) suction base with twist lock (RAP-224-1U), 1in ball diamond base adapter (RAM-B-238), 3.69in Double Socket Arm (RAM-B-201), and the RAM Universal X-Grip IV Holder (Large Phone/Phablet) with 1" Ball(RAM-HOL-UN10BU). Didnt want 2 devices for my phone and my tablet and another device for my bike, so I took a chance on this one. There are currently 4 models of the X-Grip, this is model IV for Large Phone/Phablets. I can hold an HTC EVO 4G, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 (with or without cases) and a Nexus 7 (2012 or 2013; with or without cases) (I use the MoKo Nexus 7 Slim-Fit Case). Only hesitation was the price - but considering it meets my tall order. Great deal. I used the Arkon for a long time but it was a beating to use. To insert or remove a phone or to adjust , tab holder would fall off, hard to align, felt like it would break - not this mount. Place suction where you want, turn lock lever, turn knob on arm, align and tighten - base is done. Now grab x-grip rubber post caps with one hand and position your phone or tablet - done.

is niet goedkoop maar is een prima gsm houder heb er een in mijn autobus ook

Es más caro que los demás ,pero cuando lo pruebas lo entiendes . Sin dudarlo es lo mejor del mercado Tras 3000 kms de baches y caminos de piedras ni se ha movido .

Well built product, easy to mount my iPhone 6 Plus. Suction cup it strong. The only problem is the arm is too short so I bought a longer one. This way the phone rests just above the edge of my dashboard, near the vent. In the summer I can cool the phone down with the vent and A/C. The materials are strong plastic and metal, which I think will last many years. The best thing about the mount is that it can be adjusted at 2 points due to the 1" ball at either end of the arm. Even with the short and long arms, my phone is fairly steady when I go over bumps. The mount is pricey, but the other mounts that I've used over the years are flimsy and lower in quality compared to the RAM products. I highly recommend RAM mounts if you're going overland (off road) or have uncommon setups, like tablets and laptops. I also purchased a floor-mounted tablet mount.

The item came with some scratches and some yellowish on the logo pad which indicates that it was used or a returned item
