Know before you buy
The holder is designed to fit tablets within specific dimensions: 8.25" to 11" in height, 5" to 5.88" in width, and 0.3" to 0.67" in depth. If your tablet and case combination falls within these ranges, it will fit securely.
No, this is a passive mounting solution. It does not include charging ports, HDMI outputs, or any electrical connectivity.
The integrated key lock provides a strong deterrent against theft by securing the tablet within the cradle. While it offers excellent protection for most environments, it is intended to discourage opportunistic theft rather than provide absolute security.
This holder is compatible with RAM B and C size round bases. You will need to purchase a compatible RAM mounting arm and base separately to complete your installation, as this product only includes the cradle and mounting hardware for the base connection.
Yes, the Tab-Lock design is engineered to leave all ports, buttons, and camera lenses accessible, so you do not need to remove the tablet from the cradle to use its full functionality.
