Know before you buy
The X-Grip IV accommodates devices with a width between 1.75 and 4.5 inches and a maximum depth of 0.875 inches. As long as your phone and case combination falls within these dimensions, it will fit securely.
This product is the cradle only. It features a standard 1-inch 'B' size rubber ball, which allows it to connect to any compatible RAM Mounts arm or base system.
Yes. Because the cradle connects to a ball-and-socket system, you can easily rotate your device 360 degrees and adjust the tilt to achieve your preferred viewing angle.
The spring-loaded design and rubber-coated tips are specifically engineered for high-vibration environments like aircraft cockpits. It provides a very firm grip, though for extreme conditions, RAM Mounts recommends using the included rubber tether for extra security.
The X-Grip IV is designed to hold your device at the edges, keeping the screen clear and providing access to most buttons. However, depending on the specific button layout of your phone, you may need to shift the device slightly within the cradle to ensure full accessibility.
