Decent price, great product
By Matthew Davis
I bought this for my Samsung Galaxy Tab (7 inch). Don't buy a $50 GPS mount when you can get this one for a fraction of the cost. The construction is surprisingly sturdy, and it fits my 7-inch Galaxy Tab nicely. It comes with some extra pieces that might let you mount a smart phone, but I haven't actually tried it.
One small thing to note: At first it will look like a 7-inch tablet doesn't quite fit. The instructions were a little vague, but with a little imagination I figured out that the bottom two prongs are attached to a spring-loaded, sliding portion of the main piece. The instructions make it look like you need to bend it back - don't do it. Just hold on to it firmly, and press straight down on the bottom two prongs and you should be good to go.
Overall, if you're looking for decent GPS mount to fit a variety of small mobile devices, this is definitely a good pick. Highly recommended.

Great mount for dashboard!
By cdstokes
I bought this dashboard/windshield mount and wasn't quite sure what to expect. I didn't know if it would hold my tablet or if I'd have to worry about it falling out. This is a great mount! I attached mine to the dashboard and it's very sturdy and holds my Samsung Galaxy Tablet very nicely. It's a sturdily built mount and is strong enough to hold the tablet and take the bumps and jumps of the road. For the price, this was a very good deal.

Review for use with Nexus 7 Tablet, Samsung Galaxy 7.7 Tablet, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus cell phone
By Ali Julia
We have been using GPS units for a long time and went through a large number of units and even larger number of mounts. Arkon window mount is one of the best mounts we tried.
I am attaching a collage of three photos under customers photos which I will be referencing in this review.
Here are the features I look for in a good windshield mount and how Arkon mount measures up
1) Good suction, quick and easy to mount, stays on, does not jiggle. Arkon mount is better than most. We have been using it for a number of weeks. It has not fallen down even in rough terrain. This is a low vibration mount - it generates almost no jiggle of the unit.
2) Good positioning of grippers that hold the device. This is especially important when using a phone or tablet (rather than a dedicated GPS device) as those units have volume and on/off buttons on the sides. Arkon mount does very well in this department. We did not have to do any fussing, it just worked.
3) Flexibility in holding multiple devices. Arkon comes with with 4 short and 2 long grippers. The long grippers worked perfectly for 7" Nexus tablet (see photo #1) and the short grippers worked well for Samsung Galaxy Nexus cell phone.
I also own 7.7 Samsung Galaxy tablet, which is slightly wider that the Nexus 7 tablet. My Samsung Galaxy 7.7 tablet did not fit into the mount (see photo #2). Photo #3 has two tablets side by side, where you can see the difference in width between the two units.
A note on price: During the last year the price on this mount fluctuated between $22 and $11. I found a nice tool that allows me to see price history of Amazon items. If you search on Amazon price history and select the one with the word 'camel' you will see the tool I find very useful in my shopping. You can see the history of products and send you an email when the price reaches the level you are interested in.
Overall, this is a very good mount and we are very pleased with it.
