The description said: "Charger City Hippo Series Universal Smartphone NonSlip Beanbag Friction Mount for Garmin Nuvi TomTom Via GO Start XXL XL Magellan Roadmate GPS *Fit all 3.5" 4.3" 5" GPS*". They should have added: Any cell phone, GPS unit and up to 7" tablets. I use it for my 7" tablet, it fits, "Open very, very wide, Mr. Mount".
The Beanbag is heavy enough that it will not slide around on your dash, and the bottom is covered with a slightly sticky surface. This sticky coating is just enough to help keep the mount from moving around. The sticky stuff doesn't stick to you or your clothes enough to be a problem. If you drop it in the dirt, just wash it off. The jaws open wide, just wide enough, for my 7" tablet, a 5" cell phone or GPS unit is a snap. My 7" tablet is three years old and is much thicker and heavier than today's 7" tablets, it still fits. The wider the jaws are opened the tighter it grips the unit.
This is the first dash mount that I can just throw on the dash, point it towards the driver, off I go. This mount is built to last, don't have to worry about any suction cups coming loose, plastic bracket mounts breaking, or having your cell phone, GPS unit or tablet, fall on the car floor.
Before, I started out with a suction cup mount that immediately kept falling off the dash. Then I added a separate beanbag base that the suction cup mounted on. After a while the suction cup kept falling off the beanbag onto the floor. The beanbag had be placed in a stationary position. Either of these systems never gave the convenience of slipping a unit into or out of it without the suction cup coming separated from the surface that it was attached to. Lick, lick, stab it on the dash, sun dries it, it falls on the floor.
We have a Chrysler 300C and a Corvette, this is why I used a portable 7" tablet for GPS, I can use the mount in both vehicles, without any fuss and little effort. The mount stays put, even in the Corvette on a rally event, I am not a slow driver, even though I am retired.
My original holder was a typical unit, a suction cup attached to a bean bag at one end and a ball joint at the end attached to my Garmin. I was not happy with that combination for two reasons. First, the suction cup connection would on occasion, unexpectedly come undone, being both inconvenient and raising the possibility of damaging the GPS unit in a fall. Second, When mounted on my dashboard, the unit stuck up so high that, though it did not adversely or dangerously impair my forward vision, this retired--and, no doubt, uptight--attorney could foresee a pissed-off (that's a legal term-of-art, mind you) LEO (that's law enforcement officer, for the uninitiated) citing me for unlawfully obstructing my forward vision, a pure B.S. (that's taurine excrement) cite, but believe me, it happens.
My Garmin Model 2699LMTHD (6" diagonal viewing area, 3 3/4" height and 6 5/8" width) just fits within the "jaws" (the slots in the upper portion of the clamp) of the holder. Because the GPS unit is so thick, it fits, but not well, in the teeth. It is O.K., but when I move the units (GPS in the Charger City holder) to and from the dash and floorboard (which I do every time I begin and end a trip, to avoid break-ins and thefts) I feel the need to use extra care, as it appears that the GPS could be easily dislodged from the holder and fall. The holder would be improved if the teeth were a bit larger. My second criticism relates to the base of the unit. While in my limited test I've only driven a few miles, the unit did not move around on my dash. But it did noticeably wiggle or tremble. The main reason for that is that the base is not completely flat. the sides are rounded, allowing the unit to rock a bit, to and fro. While not a major problem, it is somewhat irritating. If the base were completely flat, and perhaps a bit larger, I think that would be corrected. Incidentally, while the GPS unit's power cord would be somewhat cramped near its connection point by the holder's design, that is easily dealt with by simply moving the GPS unit over a bit in the holder's jaws.
Overall, given that I've only had the unit a short time, though not ecstatic, I'm pleased with the product. If further experience should cause me to change that opinion, I'll try to remember to amend this evaluation.
Update (9/10/15:
Now that I've had the unit for awhile, I can add to my earlier, provisional opinion. While I still like the unit, my enthusiasm for it has lessened. While my earlier suction-cup/ball joint GPS unit holder had some serious flaws, as outlined above, one of its features was great, namely, the ability to adjust the viewing angle of the screen of the unit, as the angle of the bright sun relative to the windshield shifted. Using this unit, such adjustment is severely limited. Glare is a serious issue, and though I can lessen its effect, doing so does often reduce my ability to clearly view the screen. Though not a deal-breaker, it is a serious flaw, especially if you live in an area with lots of bright sunlight. I still like the unit, but not as much. In the balance, I still prefer this unit over the earlier one with its flaws. There is room for improving the design, so as to allow adjustment of the angle of the screen between the vertical and the horizontal.
-It's very adjustable and holds GPS's and phones of different sizes.
-It easily hold the device in many different angles
-It lasts a long time (4+ years now)
-Adhesion is very good. It doesn't lock to the dashboard, but it does not slide around either (of course, it won't remain in place during an impact, but that's not what it is designed for).
-You can easily move it anywhere along your dashboard.
I loaned mine to my brother last week. He liked it so much better than his previous extended-arm style phone holder I gave it to him and bought another one for myself.
My only warning (this is not a negative, though), it does take both hands to open the lid and insert your GPS/cellphone. It might be difficult for people with very limited strength. But anyone with moderate hand muscle tone should have no problem with it.
