How much will the clamp open? I want to hold it to a border that is 2.5" thick.

Not as well as I thought. It needs better leverage. The one designed for the iPad mini the clamp seems stronger!

It is bonded by it's limitations - at about 2.5 inches you create stress on it - "do-able" but not much beyond that, if you asked me about 3 inches, I would say you are better-off duct-taping your phone... sorry if this does not help.. we use ours to help GPS in the car or hold my wife's phone on the coffee table....

After measuring my mount, 2.25" is needed for the back to be fully flush with the desk. The clamps are pretty sturdy though, so if you tighten them enough, I don't foresee any issues with stability. Regarding thickness, my desk is also about that thick, but it's solid wood so I feel comfortable with it. Physically, the mount will be able to clamp onto the desk, but it's up to you to decide if the material of the desk is strong enough to support the setup.

I believe it opens about 3" so if your magnetic attachments and whatever it is you are trying to clamp is less than that I suppose so.

If it's a thin wooden slat. No problem. The clamp can probably open up to about 1 1/2 inches.

The clamp will just fit the edge of a 2" top, but I can't recommend using the included clamp. My top was also 2", and I found the clamp to be unreliable ... a few wiggles and the lamp comes loose and could fall. They offer an optional accessory clamp that I have not tested. I chose instead to bolt a piece of plywood to bottom of lamp-base, and then use 2 C-clamps to clamp the whole contraption firmly to counter-top. Otherwise, I like the lamp ... the lamp-housing is ventilated, preventing overheating of a CFL "bulb".

My lamp is open to 1 inch. I am able to open it to 2.5 inches, but the clamps are then at an angle and I am not sure that would work. If it is returnable, it would be worth ordering it to find out. It is attractive and the on/off switch is perfect.

I'm not sure but I just measured the opening & it is 2 inches not stretched, you have to stretch it a little for the clamp to hold, then it stretches out to a maximum of 3 and a half inces & that is a snug fit if you have to stretch all the way out to its max 3 & a half inches. And remember it can go in sideways or however it will fit, within those specs, because you can turn & manipulate the head in all different ways. Hope this answers your question..

The jaws on mine are 2 7/8" wide. The clamp base opens to just a hair over 2".

The clamp is plastic with 3 rubber suction cups on the top and the bottom. The clamp is 3 inches across and opens up about 2 inches maximum.

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

Our clamp will fully open at 3 1/4 inches - fully opened. This is for the C2 40 trolling motor. Best of luck! It's great!

You should have no trouble with clamping to any overhanging table 2" thick or less

The clamp has an opening of 2". I have it on a table that is about 3/4" and it works fine. My only problem is that I don't want the clamp to mar my table so I put a piece of batting under it and it doesn't stay as well when I move it so I have to reattach it if I forget and just move it. I do love the long neck on the lamp. I use it for quilting and mount it on the rear side of my sewing table and it reaches to light my work from the back.

the screw itself is 2 inches from the edge of my desk, the actual flat clamp is about 2.5 inches from the edge if that helps at all

sorry for the delayed response. I measured how wide can these clips open and it was just about 2 inches when fully opened. So I don't think they are a good fit for 2 inch thick table.
