I have read some reviews which indicate that the phone shakes in the mount when driving even on smooth roads. Anyone else experience this?

Minimal shaking with a 4.5" phone. More with a 7" tablet but it has never fallen. You should use the adhesive mount on the back of a small tablet for good holding strength.

It really depends on the construction of the CD player you are using it in. In my 2014 BMW 3 series it shakes just a little bit. In my friend's Yaris it's solid as a rock. Even in my flimsy CD player slot, it doesn't bother me at all.

Hi, nope, so far no shaking, when you slide the flat part into the CD player, there is a knob that you turn on the bottom, and it locks the phone holder in very tight, so there is no shaking. I drive on the highway daily and I don't notice any shaking of the phone

Mine doesn't move unless I'm driving on a dirt road that has eroded and has a "washboard" surface. Then everything vibrates - even my coffee sloshes out of the travel cup! Tighten the mechanism that fits into the CD player. I have the new version of the product and chose to use the adhesive metal insert for the back of the iPhone 4s inside the slim Caselogic case (also from Amazon). It's great!

I have driven roughly 6,000 miles with this mount attached now...I can say there is a slight vibration on rougher roads but on smooth roads I have experienced no issues at all. I also think its important to make sure there is good contact between the plate and magnet...I have a slim case between the two and it works very very well.

I've had mine for about a month and I love it. It shakes or vibrates no more than my car does (Mitsubishi Eclipse) but it never budges from its connection to the mount. It's a strong magnet but not so strong that you have to fight to get it off the mount. It's a great product.

See my review of the product. I received a Slyde with a thin "gooseneck", and the phone trembled a lot. However, Infiniapps shipped me a replacement, with a thicker gooseneck, and it works just fine.

I drive a 2011 Nissan Frontier... no issues with vibration. maybe on a really old car or bumpy road there would be.

Not directly, no. I think. In my car (09 G37), I have definitely lost and re-acquired signals significantly more often after using the blendmount, but I believe it's because it mounts it above my cars nav system and the signals from that mess it up. A few people with the 9500 and the same car have said the same thing, so that leads me to believe its a car-specific issue.

I highly recommend this mount. It seems to adjust pretty tightly. I cannot comment about the vibration first hand, but my kids do not complain when their tablets are mounted for watching movies during road trips. But since I'm in the front seat, I haven't seen for myself. We have two of these mounts and I am amazed by the customer service I have received from Satechi. We had an issue with one of the mounts and the company resolved it very quickly. For the price and costumer service I would recommend trying the mount for yourself.

I dont feel like I have force anything or feel like its going break..but it does not accidently pop out of the mount after a hard bump. I like yhe light overall..especially usb charged and significant brightness. I feel that u were hit by a car comin at u ..they were texting or they meant to hit u.

I will admit, it is really smooth, and can be slippery at times, however, that only happens if there are fluids on the phone or your hands. It usually has a nice grip though.

When I placed the mount into the case mounting holes I had to press-slide the now paired but loose fitting mount one last time upward to get out to snap in place. I wad afraid to break it I forced that much. Once it snapped it stays in place. I ride well over 100mph at times and it stays very well put. It's not waterproof, however, unless you use dubbin on the zipper.

I have honestly had nothing but problems with mine. I live in Key West, so the temp is always fairly hot. Not sure if that is a factor. The volume is very spotty and the vibrations with the protective grate on top have been a problem, and it typically only works within about 5 feet of my phone. At any rate, I am not terrible happy with the performance at all.

The sides that holds the phone is not wiggly at all. It's the actual device that's being attached to the car that's wiggly, but I like it it's very sturdy, it was hard to figure out how to install the base part. Hope this helps

i dropped my phone from my car seat, and it cracked in one part...i can't feel the crack with my finger, and it doesn't seem to be impacting the performance of the phone. that was a couple weeks ago and it is still holding up with the crack.

Depends on the road. When I see my phone moving around, I just push it back in. It actually stays in place pretty well.

Yes I use this everytime I ride. It is very stable and holds the phone securely. I also got caught in a heavy downpour. Phone never got wet. I highly recommend it. I also use Digifit app to track my distance.

Yeah there is a very little wiggle sound. If that's what you're hearing when you shake the lens that's fine. No need to worry! I have it on mine also and it works perfectly fine.

I agree completely with simbp215. I have not had my iPhone 5C slip from the gripper during normal road vibration. I have had it tilt at the ball joint over very bumpy roads. Of course this is on a bicycle, not a Harley.

I've had mine for some time now. There does not appear to be any functionality issues while mounted or elsewhere.

Not as bad as you might think. I'm guessing that also depends on the vehicle you drive and how you drive. In our Honda CRV it does not shake or bounce around.

Well, it's not a dampener, it's a camera mount. Any vibrations emanating from the mounting surface will also affect the mount. You need to put some sort of dampener between the mount and your gear or drive on a smoother road.
