Customer Reviews

If you are using a non-Motorola protective case, see note below. Unlike some reviews I've read, I found this mount to be well designed and sturdy enough even for rough roads. If the base is mounted on a near vertical surface, then the holder will be, a minimum of 6 inches away from the mounting surface due to the way the articulating joints are designed. There's more latitude when mounting on a near horizontal surface like the top of the dash. There's an included stick-on smooth disk so the suction cup will work on textured surfaces. If you are not using a protective case, no problems. If you are using a Motorola case, then you will need to remove the spacer insert that comes pre-installed - lift two clips and it comes off.
If using an aftermarket protective case, you may need to make some adjustments with a Dremel tool in order to get the micro USB connector in the mount to go into the phone far enough to charge the phone. I'm using this case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VSICYY/ref=oss_product (excellent, btw) and had to remove material from the holder along it's bottom edge and along the inside surface of the bottom corners. Just take your time with the Dremel and keep checking to see if the phone charging indicator comes on without having to press the phone down hard into the mount holder. When you've removed enough material to allow the phone to sit down in the holder, it will do so easily and the charge indicator will come on.

Shipped by Amazon very quickly as usual, but the unit itself is just so so. The fit of the phone in the unit is extremely good as is the range of adjustments, however I find the frame to be excessively large blocking more than the average amount of visibility for a Nav system through the windshield. Most annoying though, is that the support arm simply isnt stiff enough and at lowish vehicle speeds on anything other than the smoothest roads, the unit vibrates / resonates.
