Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
Can X-Grip holder hold a phone in widescreen position, or can it be rotated to hold the phone sideways?
The X-Grip traditionally holds a phone in portrait orientation but can be rotated to view in landscape.
-
Can both of these be used on the *windscreen*? What is the difference between them? RAM® X-Grip® Phone Mount with RAM® Mighty-Buddy™ Suction Cup *VERSUS* RAM® X-Grip® Phone Holder with Lil Buddy™ Adhesive Dash Mount. Is the suction cup "stronger" than the "adhesive dash mount"? I'm not clear on which one I should get.
No, the adhesive one is only for the dash and the suction cup one is only for the windshield.
-
I noticed my phone can be rotated back and forth about 15 degrees 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.
