Know before you buy
The X-Grip is designed to hold tablets with a slim profile. If your tablet has a rugged or bulky case, it may exceed the cradle's capacity; it is best to measure your device with the case on to ensure it stays within the 7-inch to 8-inch range.
No, this product includes only the X-Grip cradle and the integrated 1-inch rubber ball. You will need to purchase a separate RAM Mounts double socket arm to connect the cradle to your desired mounting base.
The tether is optional but highly recommended if you are using the tablet in a vehicle, on a motorcycle, or in any environment with significant vibration or movement. It provides an extra layer of security to ensure your device stays in place.
The spring-loaded arms are adjustable, allowing you to position the rubber caps to avoid most buttons and ports. However, because the design is universal, you should check your specific tablet's layout to ensure the arms don't interfere with critical controls.
Yes, the 1-inch ball and socket system allows for near-infinite adjustability. You can easily rotate your tablet 360 degrees to switch between landscape and portrait modes as needed.
