DOES THE TRICK.

With Ontario's newer cell phone driving law I needed something to hold my non-bluetooth phone. This mount secures the phone and still allows me to use the speaker phone mode fine. GPS City has an excellent cellphone search engine.

Pros: muti fit
Recommend: YES

SMALL RAM MOUNT

Attached this to my golf cart's forward roof stantion using the diamond fitting. Works great and just above eye level. Doesn't impede entry or exit from the cart and friend think it is a professional accessory. It took me 10 minutes to attach. I liked it so much that I ordered a medium mount to hold my VHF portable aircraft radio in a handy location in my bi-plane that I am constructing. I will use a thin Velcro safety strap around that mount and radio to guard against the possibility of losing the radio during a loop (it's an open cockpit plane)however, to date I have had zero problems with the golf GPS staying secured.

Pros: well made equipment. does the job it was designed
Recommend: YES

DOES THE JOB

I bought this to use with my iPhone that has a slip cover on it. It just does fit in, which I suppose is a good thing. Works great in my truck and I plan to use it on my motorcycle as well. I may add a rubber band for security although it likely doesn't need it unless I"m hitting really bad bumps.

Pros: holds securely, allows use of power cord
Recommend: YES

RAM MOUNT SMALL CRADLE

I used this unit primarily for my phone. It holds my Zune as well. I have it mounted to an arm on my BMW R1150RT. It is solid!!! I use a rubber band just in case the side plates don't hold. It dowsn't seem as though they are going to fail. However I am not going to take that chance. A rubber band is cheap!!!

Pros: with an arm extension, positions are abound
Cons: none so far
Recommend: YES

IT GETS A GOOD GRIP

This was purchased to replace a broken universal mount I had purchased from a drug store, I was expecting the same cheap quality for the holder but better for the mount. I am very pleasantly surprised the holder portion grips VERY well, and the mount is great. I am using the diamond C size ball mount I use it when I am not using my laptop mount, which is most of the time. My only complaints are the release mechanism seems to snap pretty forcefully we will see if that lasts over time and I wish the opening range was a little wider, but I knew the range coming in to this, my smartphone just barely fits in to this size and I also have a smaller phone that I need this size for.

Pros: excelent grip, works for multiple phones
Cons: the release snaps open pretty hard
Recommend: YES

UNIVERSAL CELL PHONE MOUNT

I bought this to use on a motorycle even though it said it was not recommended for a bike. Works very well. At first I used a couple of rubber bands around the unit and the phone for added security but quit after the first ride.

Pros: works well, holds phone securely.
Cons: none so far.
Recommend: YES

SKYCADDIE GPS MOUNT

I needed a mounting accessory for my SkyCaddie SG2.5 and found this universal side clamping cradle that worked great combined with the RAP-B-104R light duty rail clamp mounted to the 1" handle of my Riksha golf cart.

Pros: great mount, low cost.
Cons: none
Recommend: YES

JUST WHAT I NEEDED.

I have this mounted to the under-side of my dash in my motor home next to an ipod jack. This works out great for the family. It holds an itouch (the best), ipod mini, ipod classic, nano 3rd gen. (the square one), and a nano 4th gen. (the thin one, barely).

Pros: versatile
Cons: none.
Recommend: YES

IPOD AND CELL HOLDER

Mounted on my motorcycle, a nice little unit, it holds my 30GB IPod securely (no extreme rough road test yet) with or without a leather pouch. It clamps securely with padded arms with a firm squeeze by hand... and releases with a touch of the release button. I am sure it will hold any cel phone easily too.

Pros: easy to use with one hand, holds item firmly
Cons: no lock mechanism for theft (didn't expect one)
Recommend: YES

PHONE MOUNT

Overall great mount for my Nokia phone. I attached to my Harley with a hair tie for added safety if I were to hit a hard bump. So far I don't think I needed the hair tie as it holds so well by itself.

Wish it came with it's own ball mount like the larger Universal Side Clamping Cradle with 1 inch Ball (Model: RAM-B-120BU). Also, holes do not line-up with the quick-disconnect mount I purchased: Ezy-Mount Quick Release Adapter (RAP- 326). I wanted to be able to release my mount while still attached to my phone.

Since the holes were not universal I had to place another order for the RAM-B-202U ball to mount it together with the other components. I think the holes should have lined-up from the design to work with ALL mounts!

Pros: very secure with phone on the harley.
Cons: not a universal design connecting to ram component
Recommend: YES

Quality construction, sturdy, matches vehicle interior well, almost looks like it came with the car. Easy one hand operation to clamp & unclamp device. Works great for a radar detector. I will buy another for my phone and for the wifes car too. GPScity.com shipped within 10-hours of ordering & I had it at my home 2-days later even with ground shipping...very impressive.
