NOT RECOMMENDED

[esassaman]

I bought two of these mounts and they both failed catastrophically. On the first one, the plastic piece on the end of the flexible arm (that attaches to the powered PDA mount itself) came unglued from the metal arm in side the plastic flexible sleeve. It cracked and I wasn't able to securely glue it back on - it was obvious that wouldn't work.

The second one failed at the suction cup. Over time it got looser and looser until the suction cup wasn't fitting snugly against the plastic piece. In other words a gap eventually opened up between the clear suction cup and the plastic piece next to it. Eventually the suction cup just tore off the mount completely and the whole thing came crashing to the ground.

I'm going to contact Seidio to see if I can get these repaired since I've already invested so much in two mounts but I'm VERY disappointed with the quality of the mount arms. The powered holder itself is really nice and the powere speaker is a must if you like to listen to your car audio system while you're driving. It's got enough power to be heard very loudly. It's also essentially to have power going to your PDA for anything but short trips. But these units suffer from some serious quality issues, I would not recommend these at all.

The flexible mount arms are a common part that appears in several manufacturers holders for mobile phones and PDAs. The cheapest way to get these is to buy a Halfords universal phone holder which includes the same mount arm.
