Is well build but needs a damper!
By Craig L
I bought this and installed it in my 96 Honda civic. It is sturdily built, and was a snap to install. Its pretty easy to loosen the wingnut on the back and shift between portait and landscape, and holds the iPad far enough away from the passenger to be comfortable. Its also fairly easy to undo the wingnut enough to remove the plastic bracket and stash it, leaving only the gooseneck in view, throwing potential criminals off the scent (I live in an urban environment where this is a concern).I have 2 complaints:1. While it holds an unprotected iPad very securely, you need to remove your case every time, which, with an Otterbox, is annoying.2. It NEEDS a damper. Its got a mass, its got a spring, it needs a damper! The long, rigidly fixed gooseneck arm holding the relatively heavy ipad at the end tends to propogate vibrations. So much so that, without the screen lock, the ipad can switch from portait to landscape to portait while shaking. I plan on installing a support damper somewhere further up the gooseneck to help with this.All in all, its a great was to hold the ipad, and is not a cheap-o piece of Chinese made junk. If you have a case you can get the iPad in and out of quickly, and are willing to brace the gooseneck further up, its probably the best solution out there for an iPad car mount.

Exactly what was needed for 2003 Honda Accord
By Jeffrey R. Dempsey
So, you're probably thinking, why do I need an iPad in my car?Here is the answer: Because it's cool.I use it as a 9.7" GPS with Navigon, and it is nice to have a screen that I don't have to squint to read, since I'm getting up there in years, and the iPhone really didn't work too well hanging from the windshield. The other factor is there are windshield mounts available, but with the size car, blocking the field of view seems to be an bad option as well.This looked to be the best way to have an iPad mount in the car, and it sits below the windshield, out of the passenger's way as well. By the way, I have it in the landscape position, rather than the portrait shown in the picture; the mounting hardware allows either and is self-explanatory.It looks and feels like the people that made it cared about the design; the pieces are strong, well made, and appear to be build for lasting a long time (I don't anticipate any broken plastic). It also looks like it was professionally installed, even though I'm a bit of a hack in car add-ons. It took about 30 minutes to install it, once I got started.When you buy this, you will be happy with the form, fit, and function. The only thing to add is the Scosche reVIVE II Dual USB Car Charger for iPad, and you'll be set.

By pelzer85
I ordered this mount because I wanted to use my iPad as a GPS unit and a music source. The mount arrived sooner than I expected and was easy enough to install, requiring only one fastening point to the vehicle's seat base. The ram-mount does not provide enough room to leave the Apple iPad case on while in the mount, so it has to be "bare" to use with it. The actual mechanism is a roller-latch on one end, with rigid corner pockets on the other, that holds the iPad very securely, but won't scratch or rub the finish or edges. It can be mounted in either a landscape or portrait orientation via two separate iPad holder mounting location (one offset, one along the center line). There is a knob for loosening the iPad for tilt viewing adjustment that also will allow you to change the orientation if you need to switch without having to reinstall the iPad holder to the stand so you are not locked into your decision, even with the iPad in the mount. While the mount is rigid enough, there is still some play while driving and it does "wiggle" while the vehicle is in motion. The materials are very good quality. Overall I am very pleased with the product.
