Mammal? We don't have smelly suckers!

Best Damn Dashboard Mount Ever! The description said "Universal Smartphone Charger City Hippo Series Non-Slip Rattle Friction Mount for Garmin Nuvi TomTom Via GO Start XXL XL Magellan Roadmate GPS * Fits all 3.5", 4.3", 5" GPS *". Added: any cell phone, GPS device and up to 7" tablet. I use it for my 7" tablet, it fits, "Open very, very wide, Mr. Mount." The rattle is heavy enough not to slip on the dashboard and the underside is covered with a slightly sticky finish. This sticky coating is enough to keep the mount from moving. The sticky substance doesn't stick to you or your clothes enough to cause problems. If you drop it in the dirt, just wash it off. The jaws are wide open. , wide enough for my 7 inch tablet. A 5 inch cell phone or GPS device is a no-brainer. My 7 inch tablet is three years old and is much thicker and heavier than today's 7 inch tablets, it still fits. Jaws open, the tighter he grips the device. This is the first dash mount that I can just throw over the dash, point towards the driver and go. Suction cups come loose, plastic holders break, mobile phones, navigation systems or tablets fall onto the floor of the car. t, which immediately fell further from the dashboard. I then added a separate bean bag base that the suction cup was attached to. After a while, the suction cup started falling off the bag onto the floor. The rattle was placed in a stationary position. None of these systems have ever made it possible to insert or remove a device without separating the suction cup from the surface to which it was attached. Lick, lick, poke the dash, dry in the sun, hit the floor. We have a Chrysler 300C and a Corvette so I used a portable 7 inch GPS tablet, I can use the mount in either car without any fuss or hassle. The bracket also stays in place in a Corvette during a rally. Maybe I'm not a slow driver, even though I'm retired.

Pros
  • GPS, Finder and Accessories
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
