November 22, 2014Doesn’t charge GPS easily when using (if charging port on bottom of device),
Easily sits on dash board
Heavy duty
Use for cell phone or GPS
Cons: Difficult to open in a hurry
Can’t charge my GPS while it’s in the mount
Rating 3.5/5
I just used this beanbag mount and overall I thought it was a decent product. My main issue is that I can’t charge my GPS while using this mount. My charging port is on the bottom of the GPS and is blocked by the mount. If your charging port is on the side or back of the GPS you should be able to use without any issues. The other issue is it can be difficult to open. You need both hands and a little concentration to use this mount. You definitely can’t pull this out while your driving and whip in the GPS real quick.

November 22, 2014Suction Cups ?? We have no stinking suction cups !!!,
The description said: “Charger City Hippo Series Universal Smartphone NonSlip Beanbag Friction Mount for Garmin Nuvi TomTom Via GO Start XXL XL Magellan Roadmate GPS *Fit all 3.5″ 4.3″ 5″ GPS*”. They should have added: Any cell phone, GPS unit and up to 7″ tablets. I use it for my 7″ tablet, it fits, “Open very, very wide, Mr. Mount”.
The Beanbag is heavy enough that it will not slide around on your dash, and the bottom is covered with a slightly sticky surface. This sticky coating is just enough to help keep the mount from moving around. The sticky stuff doesn’t stick to you or your clothes enough to be a problem. If you drop it in the dirt, just wash it off. The jaws open wide, just wide enough, for my 7″ tablet, a 5″ cell phone or GPS unit is a snap. My 7″ tablet is three years old and is much thicker and heavier than today’s 7″ tablets, it still fits. The wider the jaws are opened the tighter it grips the unit.
This is the first dash mount that I can just throw on the dash, point it towards the driver, off I go. This mount is built to last, don’t have to worry about any suction cups coming loose, plastic bracket mounts breaking, or having your cell phone, GPS unit or tablet, fall on the car floor.
Before, I started out with a suction cup mount that immediately kept falling off the dash. Then I added a separate beanbag base that the suction cup mounted on. After a while the suction cup kept falling off the beanbag onto the floor. The beanbag had be placed in a stationary position. Either of these systems never gave the convenience of slipping a unit into or out of it without the suction cup coming separated from the surface that it was attached to. Lick, lick, stab it on the dash, sun dries it, it falls on the floor.
We have a Chrysler 300C and a Corvette, this is why I used a portable 7″ tablet for GPS, I can use the mount in both vehicles, without any fuss and little effort. The mount stays put, even in the Corvette on a rally event, I am not a slow driver, even though I am retired.
