Very smart - comes with two sets of different length 'holder' clips. Using the longer one allowed me to get this mount to work with the iPad mini (nudged/"vertical"). All clips are unusually deep, with small lugs for extra grip. Result: I don't have to remove the folded folio to fit comfortably in the holder. Wonderful. These aren't necessarily downsides, but note that the pivot point where the arm meets the suction end only moves up/down, and the end of the mount rests on a sphere that only…

If you need something to hold something, this will do.

I use this with a Samsung Tab Pro 12.2 inch and have tried it in a Mazda 6 and the latest GMC full size van, Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit. You attach the suction cup to the windshield and place your hand on it. It's a solid device. I use it in landscape mode, but this device holds a tablet even in portrait mode, with tabs that hold the tablet on the sides. Still, it's pretty quick and easy to get the tablet in and out. The suction cup is incredibly strong and I'm not worried about it…

Simply the best desk mount! This is a high quality, well made tablet holder. I've taken it on trips and used it with my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro on the way to work and it's the best I've ever used. This thing sucks like no other! The hand is tight and the clamps are heavy. It stretches well and can be used at literally any angle!

The perfect stand for the 2014 Cadillac CTS4 Coupe! We bought a high performance model and didn't want a factory pop up sat nav as our Samsung A7 Pro tablets have 10,000,000 more real time services! So we got one from Arkon which is very stable and sits comfortably on the suede dash mat. It doesn't move when in the fully rearward or fully extended position and fits perfectly. When I sit back and want to extend the mount, it moves without bouncing. It can even carry a very heavy tablet. it also…
