    +1 for mob armor. have had the iphone one for years and their customer support has been awesome (had the original one fail on me and they went ahead and sent me a replacement after my warranty period had expired.

    Hows that ipad holder @LTDSC ? I was eyeing them but I went with a tech deck + ram mount instead.

    It's attached to a metal shelf in the garage to hold my phone and play music while i'm in there doing stupid shit to my truck and spending money I shouldn't.
    BTW, after your post about your drawers in the mini van. It's making me think about some for my truck when camping.

    what happened with it? I mean I don't mob very hard but mines been completely solid -- except the original one which essentially went limp and wouldn't hold the angle I move it to. But mob armor just sent me a replacement for it free of charge. It definitely holds up much better than the ram mount i use for my ipad or ham radio.

    I went with the A-pillar RAM mount. I wanted my phone as close to driving line of sight as possible.

    Not mine, but this. Using the RAM-HOL-PD3U, not the X.

    I use RAM X-grip with @Lostsheep mounts for both my phone and my I-pad and couldn’t be happier.
