Customer Reviews

I bought this Arkon Mount last week and I really like it, except for one problem. I have an EVO from Sprint, which is a fantastic phone. There is a micro USB for charging and a micro HDMI connector on the bottom of the phone. Both of the connectors are off-center. The left rest on the Mount does not allow the micro USB charge cable to be plugged in while in the Mount. This problem occurs regardless of how it is mounted. This is a serious problem as the battery for the EVO does not last long, especially in GPS mode. My plan at this point is to cut off the left rest on the mount. This should still allow for the Mount to reasonably secure my EVO while allowing me to charge the phone.

I have been using this on my dash with the provided black circle since in California it is illegal to Windshield mount. Works great other than that you should take this mount off if you park in direct sun light when it's hot as the suction cup begins to degrade. The universal mount generally holds my phone phone fine but sometimes it just doesn't click right and it can be a slight hassle to get out the phone. It has fallen off my dash once or twice before but that is because I left it mounted for a week or so. Ideally the best is to mount it again everytime you need it.
Overall sturdy and high quality. Arkon is the brand to get.

It allows you to attach the windshield pedestal to other areas in the vehicle such as the dash or console.

Using the adhesive is optional though as most people choose the windshield mount installation.
