Customer Review: Perfect, Stylish beanbag base for mounting cell phone in car
Summary: 5 Stars
EVO 4G owners... buy the cradle/mount that I reviewed (Arkon Universal Windshield with Dashboard and Vent Mount for Smartphones and PDAs) and then buy this to form the ultimate EVO 4G car mount
I will say, I don't trust ANY suction cup to stick to a windshield or any vent clip to stick to a vent so I bought this beanbag to stick the suction cup of my mount to. Again... I'm not saying that suction cups or vent clips are untrsutworthy, but simply that I PERSONALLY do not trust my $400 baby to hang off the winsdhield or vent by a suction cup or two little plastic clips - no matter what the product. I bought the above mentioned friction pad/sandbag/beanbag/whatever-you-wish-to-call-it because I wanted to create a sturdy, non-moveable base to suction cup the cradle/mount to.
I live in MN, it's been like 20 degrees here for 2 weeks and that suction cup has not let go on the beanbag mount yet... still rock solid and YES I keep the whole setup in the car at all times (so it gets cold, warm, cold, warm) I bought some super glue just in case I wanted to form a perfect seal between the beanbag and this cradle/mount but alas, I haven't a need to open it... that suction cup stays like magic to the beanbag base.
So...
- Thing is rock-solid grippy... weighs like 3 pounds which seems like nothing but when it's only job is to ensure that a device that is weighed in OUNCES doesn't move - it's a ton. To put it another way... think of a deck of playing cards and a paper clip; neither are that "heavy" but compared to each other the deck of cards outweighs the paper clip by a TON. Now imagine mounting the paper clip to the deck of cards - it isn't going anywhere. That's how it is with this beanbag and a suction cup mount... this 2-3 pound bag (with it's rubber bottom - described below) might as well be a cinder block with how sturdy it feels/grips
- Rubberized bottom is like super glue - honestly, the thing weighs 2-3 pounds on it's own but applying that weight to a rubberized surface is a double-security guarantee. Think of your shoes - the rubber on the bottom is grippy on it's own, but apply your body weight on top of that grip and the traction is like quadrupled - same effect here. Rubber is grippy on it's own, add a few pounds of weight ontop of that rubbery/grippy foot and you've got a traction beast. I don't drive crazy or anything, but let's just say that I don't feel that I have to instinctually reach my hand out to ensure my EVO doesn't slide around the dash when I'm making a turn or a quick stop.
