I bought this to hold my iPad 2 so that I can use it for navigation in my car.

The arm that bolts to the passenger seat is very stiff so it holds the iPad very securely. Also, the mounting mechanism is spring loaded on the bottom, so you insert your tablet by pressing it against the bottom two holders while pushing the top of the tablet backward. The springs ease a bit and the tablet snaps in.

While in the mount the unit can shake a bit if you hit a hard bump in the road. If you drive on really bumpy roads you may find you need to use some Velcro or something to anchor the mount to keep the vibrations down, but on your typical highway-type roads where you mostly travel at high speeds, it is very stable.

This is actually my second mount system from Arkon. The first one holds my phone and the mount is much smaller than the one that comes with this system. Also, the arm is much stiffer. However, both mounts will fit on either arm, so I can remove the tablet mount and replace it with the phone mount for times when I don't need the iPad.

It is nice using the iPad for nav, assuming you can orient it so the sunlight isn't on the screen.

I really liked this tablet holder. It was sturdy, fit my Toshiba Thrive well, and the price was right.

However1. It does have some 'wobble' to it. Using the touch screen makes it shake a bit.

2. This is not meant to be moved often. If you need a tablet holder that will stay in the same position all the time, this would be great. But, after a week of use, moving it out of the way each time I was done, the metal rod snapped due to metal fatigue.

I got an immediate refund, so I'm not out any money. But consider how you will use this. If you will adjust it often, it will break, eventually.

I wanted a mount for my Ipad2 in my truck because I use my iPad with my contracting business to make invoices and other task. This iPad stand has worked out very well for me. This stand was relatively easy to install in my full size GMC pickup truck and by mounting it on the transmission hump using the optional mounting bracket in stead of the seat bolt bracket that was very doable. The bendable aluminum shaf was to short at 18" to mount it on the seat bolt in my truck but the optional seat bolt mount looks like it would have worked perfectly had the shaft of the mount been longer. The seat bolt mount option would more than likely work much better on a car aplacation but was just to short for my full sized truck. I wanted to be able to sit in the drivers seat and use my iPad and this mount allows me to do that, not while driving of course. One thing you may need to know is that the mount is a little shaky in that while typing I use my pinky finger to steady the iPad because the pad tends to wobble just a little when I type using the on screen keyboard. What I did to minimize the instability is mount the shaft so that it rests against the side of the seat as it comes up from the floor then I easily bent the shaft in an "S" shape the get the top of the shaft in the position I wanted it to be in. The stand is adequately stable otherwise. This mount holds the iPad very securely between the grips with its spring loaded jaws. I am very satisfied with this well made mount. I would highly recommend this mount.

I REALLY LIKE THIS HOLDER. I traveled for 10 hours using it and i got to extensively use it.

Installation was super easy, pop the seat bolt out and put in the provided hardware and voila. Easy

The material feels solid except for the plastic holder its self , feels cheap but so as do most of these holders.

This holder is highly customizable and has many sizes and shape and is bound to fit whatever tablet you want.

I absolutely love the fact that it does not scratch my tablet no matter what maneuver i perform .

The downside it that it wobble no matter how much you tighten the bolt, simple laws of physics is all .
