Know before you buy
The X-Grip cradle accommodates tablets up to 0.875 inches in thickness. If your case is thin, it may fit, but bulkier rugged cases will likely need to be removed to ensure the rubber-coated tips can securely grip the device.
No, the Twist-Lock suction cup requires a smooth, non-porous surface to create a reliable vacuum seal. It is best suited for glass windshields or smooth, flat plastic surfaces.
The RAM ball-and-socket system allows for near-infinite adjustment, letting you tilt, rotate, and pivot your tablet to the exact viewing angle you need. Once you find your preferred position, you simply tighten the knob to lock it firmly in place.
Yes, it is designed for demanding environments, including vehicles and aviation. The marine-grade construction and vibration-reducing design provide excellent stability, provided the suction cup is properly locked onto a clean, smooth surface.
The X-Grip design is engineered to hold the tablet at the edges, which keeps the screen clear and generally leaves ports and buttons accessible. However, placement may vary slightly depending on the specific button layout of your tablet model.
The mount is rated for 2 lbs under standard, stable conditions. For more rugged environments or heavy-duty use where vibration is higher, the recommended weight capacity is reduced to 1 lb to ensure the device remains secure.
