What customers say
Users overwhelmingly praise the RAM Mounts X-Grip for its exceptional security and robust quality. The high-strength composite and aluminum construction delivers unmatched durability, providing peace of mind during aggressive driving or off-roading. The X-Grip mechanism securely holds various phone sizes, while the short arm minimizes bulk and significantly reduces vibration for a stable view. The Twist-Lock suction base offers outstanding, long-lasting adhesion to smooth surfaces. Although the initial price is premium, long-term users agree that the unparalleled dependability justifies the investment over less reliable options. The only noted limitation is the suction cup's reduced performance on textured dashboards.
Know before you buy
Yes, the X-Grip is designed to accommodate most phone cases. As long as the total width of your device including the case is between 1.875" and 3.25", and the depth is no more than 0.875", it will fit securely.
The Twist-Lock suction base is specifically engineered for non-porous surfaces like glass windshields. It will not maintain a reliable seal on textured or porous dashboard surfaces.
The mount is built with high-strength composite and marine-grade aluminum to handle vibration. For extra peace of mind during rugged use, the included rubber tether provides a secondary layer of security to keep your phone locked in place.
The B-size ball and socket system allows for near-infinite adjustability. You can easily rotate your phone between portrait and landscape orientations and tilt it to achieve the exact viewing angle you need.
The Twist-Lock base is designed for portability. You can easily release the suction by turning the base, allowing you to move the mount between different vehicles or reposition it on your windshield as needed.
