Device shakes while driving and other issues

on February 27, 2012

Posted by: Bergwon

from Colorado Springs, CO

I have 3 problems with this product. It is useable - with some workarounds - but I would suggest looking elsewhere before settling for this.

1st: Because of the 1 ft. of distance between the device and the suction cup for the window, the device will vibrate when the car is moving. Since I didn't want it to vibrate, I adjusted the holder to rest on the dash, but now I am concerned about potential wear marks on the dash. None are showing up, but I have only owned it for a week.

2nd: The phone for which I bought the holder (HTC Thunderbolt) has its charger socket right where the the holder grips it. I can still use the charger while it is in the holder, but I cannot use the foldout supports that are part of the holder's design.

3rd: The suction cup for the device seems a little weak. I have had the holder fall off the window 2 times while driving. But the last time I attached it to the window was 5 days ago, so it seems have a lasting seal this time.

Bottom line: Look around, and if nothing else works, this will do the job... just not perfectly.

What's great about it: Functional, if you are in a bind.

What's not so great: It has to rest on the dash to not shake.

I would recommend this to a friend!
