    For the RAM x grip just take the big sticker off. Mine lasted a day till the heat got to it. Personally, I think it looks better without it.

    I agree, but then, the bare plastic started to mar my phone. I added a black pad that doesn't look bad and protects the phone.

    I'm still using the Hondo mount, since my mod money is a bit tied up at the moment:

    The lettering itself on the RAM mount doesn't really bug me - but the circle is just a little off-center which does bug me. I'll see how long I can tolerate it haha. Should be bad if I just keep my phone mounted all the time.

    You can remove and stick it back on. Like @crashdb said, it is not the strongest to start with. Mine came off clean. I just stuck it on the fridge in the garage.

    I can't do cases for some reason. I have enough problems typing on a bare phone. Ha!

    Yup. It's much more subdued without the sticker. Just held on with rubber cement.

    I don't go for huge cases. It's just a small Spigen case.

    What is the thread pattern on this? I have not been able to get any bolts to go in easily.

    The little clips on the underside. None of the bolts I have tried have worked. It's almost like it's reverse threaded. Mine was one of the first batches.

    Hmm. Might want to drop him a line. A few posts back he posted a pic that there were some of those captive bolt deals that were wrong.

    Anyone else get a creaking noise coming from the dash trim after installing this? It's really annoying...

    Panel no longer has flex so makes sense. Hopefully isn’t happening with everyone.

    Has anyone attached a magnet mount to the ram ball successfully? Would be interested to see what that looks like.

    Screw size for all Holes and nuts/nut plates is 10-32, that is a common size but it IS fine thread, 10-24 is a similar sized (diameter) screw but has fewer threads/inch and WILL NOT work.
    The nuts and nut plates are all self-locking meaning they will be tight all the way through not just at the end! This keeps them from coming loose on their own and is by design, not a flaw.

    No one else has reported this yet, I hope its not related but I do want to keep an track of things like this, first thing I would do to troubleshoot this would be removing it and checking to see if the noise persists, I want to help you figure it out but its hard to diagnose from my computer...
    if anyone else has this problem please let me know
