I think I need a bigger truck!
Has anyone on here tried out the Scoche Tablet/Phone Magic Mounts? I picked up one just the other day for my Jeep WK for my new Note 4 phone, and it works awesome. The magnets are very powerful and hold nice and tight.
I love the fact that my kit came with 2 metal plates, one for a phone sized device and one for a tablet.

I just bought one off Amazon. I'll let you know how it works.

Good stuff.
For a cell phone they are excellent. Small tablets, sure... but they might not do awesome in the VERY rough stuff depending on location and weight of your device. It works good for my Note 4 with the heavy folio LED case.

My plan is use a 7" tablet. Hopefully it will hold.

Can anybody comment on whether the Ram Tablet-Tite (or some other tablet holder) will grip more securely than the Ram X-Grip for small (7") tablets?
My last trip to the desert saw a lot of time on washboard roads and there were some patches where my Samsung Tab4 7.0" was vibrating out of the X-Grip II Small Tablet mount. Up to that trip, it's worked pretty well. I have it on a very short 3" arm to a ball base screwed into a cupholder on the center console, so I've limited the "lever arm" as much as possible. The 7" tablet has a fairly grippy rubberized case, but the X-Grip just doesn't seem to grip that tightly. It's also annoying that one of the "grips" has to be positioned "just so" to avoid mashing into the power or volume buttons (all in one corner of the tablet), and when vibrating the tablet slides enough to toggle the volume or power...

I have that tablet holder and it holds it firmly but it vibrates like crazy even though it's attached to the seat. I'll be in Anza borengo this weekend trying out the prototype mob armor mount we put in last week. So far i like it.

Just installed my Ram Mount setup for my Samsung Tab 4 7.0" running Backcountry Navigator and Copilot.

how much rattle ?
How much do your mounts rattle on the long stutter bump trails? what have you found that works well against this.

I'm still fighting this battle. I have a RAM X-grip for my 7" tablet, on a 3" (short) arm, and even that vibrates enough to shake loose the tablet on a washboard road. (I think the tablet is just too much mass relative to the strength of the springs in the X-Grip)
I had that issue too which is why I got rid of the ram mount setup. My new mob armor setup has been great.

post a picture of this set up if you would?
