- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2025I have the older product to this and it was good. This one just blows it out of the water as far as sticking power. I put it on a month ago or so and it is still there. The older one has fallen off twice. But they are easily installed.

I am so satisfied with this purchase that I felt compelled to write a review. The fit, finish, ruggedness, ease of use and price all met or exceeded my expectations. And that's not easy to do! I'm the type of person who believes in "a place for everything, and everything in its place". This mount allows me to put my phone exactly where I want it while driving and it stays put - period. You should know a couple things if you plan to purchase:
1. this mount is not stealthy - you will notice it, especially when you don't have your phone in it and also from other angles such as the passenger seat. I would advise trying different locations to minimize obstructing your view. This is not a problem, but it's something to consider. The advantages to the way this mount is made are the design and material. It won't break and it won't move around while driving.
2. RAM makes an excellent product, but ultimately it's up to you the consumer to make sure you buy the right combination of parts to optimally fit your need. I owe thanks to another reviewer here on Amazon to tipping me off to the double socket swivel arm. I would have otherwise bought the 6" Long Arm (RAM-B-201U-C) but I wouldn't have been able to adjust the fit nearly as well as I can with the RAP-B-200-2U. Research RAM's options, understand where and how you want to use it and read other Amazon Reviews. If you do, I have no doubt you will be pleased.
Thanks Amazon for getting it here exactly when you promised in perfect condition.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014As I have purchased several components which are used together, I am reviewing them as a group and repeating the review across all. My time with the product is still very short, I can only provide my initial impressions. RAM products are ASTOUNDING! They do tend to be a bit on the higher end of the spectrum for this type of product; however, the old adage "you get what you pay for" definitely holds in this case. The things I love about this group of products:
1 - Once the devices are in place and tightened down, they are stable. There is minimal vibration; and, it does not swivel around when putting the phone in the cradle.
2 - The X configuration of the cradle grip allows for maximum air flow around the phone. My previous phone suffered overheating damage from being in a cradle in the sun for an extended trip. The RAM components not only allow for more air flow but the long arm brings the unit further into the car, just past the rear-view mirror, minimizing the amount of direct sun exposure during the hottest times of the day.
3 - This is the EASIEST cradle I have owned for getting the phone in and out. I have the LG G3 currently.
I currently own two sets of this product. One for each vehicle. The LG G3 with a case is a bit of a tight fit in the phone grip cradle. It is not horrible; but, I have to put it in on an angle then straighten it. I have purchased the larger grip version for the second. It is much easier to get the phone in and out. I have not yet seen a down side to the larger vs normal. I will keep you posted......
- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023I ordered this to use with a Ram Mount phone holder and extension arm to my car windshield. Works as expected. Holds strong, even on pothole roads. Then I tried it on our granite kitchen counter. Oh man! My wife swapped on her Ram Mount iPad holder. Easy viewing online recipes while cooking. I guess I have to order another one. She’s not giving it back.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2017Just got this in the mail today. The item arrived damaged, which is disappointing, and also is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I got this for a trip that I'm going on in a few days, and can't exchange it in time. Hopefully it won't effect the usability and rust over time. Better quality control would've been nice. Other than the already existing damage, I got this for my GoPro and the grip on this mount is amazing. Once it's locked down, it doesn't move at all. Can't wait to set this up and start shooting. Like I said, just hope this doesn't rust later since I'll be using it with my paddle board

- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022This is my 5th RAM mount, this time to hold a backup camera on my truck. I was able to mount this in an inconspicuous area on my windshield, and it holds perfectly. It is of the same great quality of all my other RAM mounts. It was easy to adjust the angle of the camera once attached. RAM mounts are the best I have found for holding my electronics in my truck.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018I'm using it on my motorcycle gas tank, which is not what you'd call flat. I didn't expect it to stay put, but I've had it on about 10 hours of riding and it hasn't budged. I was quite paranoid at first, so I was trying to jiggle it and pull it off every five minutes at first to see if it was coming loose - no can do. I've used a couple of suction cup mounts over the years, and they worked well enough but didn't have anywhere near the feeling of stable and strong connection as this thing.
I bought it separate from this, but the X-Grip is absolutely amazing too. Again, I was paranoid, but that phone is NOT moving. Period.

Like all of my Ram products that I use, this one keeps the quality promise, and does the job very well. Using my X-Grip phone holder using various attachments on my bicycle, motorcycle and now with this windscreen attachment in my car and i love it. Holds firmly, no slipping, moving or shaking. Definitely recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Good holding force
This grips my windshield very firmly. I thought during the summer heat that it may lose grip but so far it’s holding strong. It easily supports my iPhone Pro Max. Definitely buy again.
