Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
How can I take this apart so I can get a new tether on it?
It's very difficult but you can actually pull the ball on that tough claw out of the back of the x-grip. It just takes brute strength. It also takes brute strength to insert that ball back into the back of the x-grip. That is intentional, so that once it's in there, it's definitely not going to fall out on its own.
-
I don't see my phone listed in the compatibility section for this cradle. How can I make sure my tablet is compatible before placing an order?
You can find a list of compatible dimensions for this holder in the product information section. If you want to make sure your tablet will fit in this holder you can measure your tablet to make sure it falls within the compatible dimensions.
-
I noticed my phone can rotate back and forth when it is in the X-Grip. Is that normal?
That type of movement is totally normal for the X-Grip. When being used for less rugged applications the small amount of movement allowed is not an issue, but sometimes when traveling at higher speeds or in bumpy environments it can be. If that is causing problems in your application, it is best to use the safety tether which will prevent that type of movement by creating tension between the phone and backplate.
-
Can I add a socket arm to the X-Grip Large Phone Mount with Tough-Claw?
No, the Snap Link connection used in the RAM-HOL-UN10-400U is intended to be low profile and is not made to accommodate a double socket arm between the X-Grip and the Tough Claw. The RAM-HOL-B-400-A-HOL-UN10BU does have the regular 1" ball as attachment points for the X-Grip and Tough Claw and comes with a double socket arm.
-
Will this clamp to flat surface, similar to table edge.
Yes, the small Tough Claw that's included as part of the RAM-HOL-UN10-400U kit will clamp on a flat edge surface between .625" and 1.14" thick.
-
What's the part number for the replacement tether on this xl model?
The replacement tether for the X-Grip for large phones is the RAM-HOL-UN10TU.
