the suction cup is not working with anything. I had awful experience with that product. I sent it back.

I don't know. I can't get my iPhone to stay in the folder. My husband's phone stays in the holder though, however, he has an Otto Box case, I think the rubber from the case helps keep the phone in place.

Not really, dashboards are usually not smooth, but bumpy. A glass like surface is required for suction cups.

It should work fine with your portable GPS. Be sure your windshield is super clean if your going to mount it there, I didn't use the mounting pad (sticky round disk) so I don't know how it works with the suction cup. I put mine directly on the windshield and its never fell off.

It has a suction cup mount. I have a fairly smooth dash so it mounts fine. I do not know how well it would mount to a dash that is textured, though. BTW, The angle is also perfect for window mounting as well (turned upside down).

I've only used it on my windshield. The suction cup material is really amazing and acts as they advertise, and I don't think it would wreck your dashboard, but I don't know for certain.

No , not really, once you stick it too the dash, it won't stick again , just keeps coming off if you remove it once

Not likely. I have not found a dash that can hold a suction-cup yet. It does come with a metal disc (as seen in the pic) that can be stuck to your dash to hold it. Otherwise, just use the windshield.

Yes It should work just fine for u. My dashboard is textured so it wont stick there. But it stays good on the window.

Hello Peter.Assuming the product you got is OK, then it fits very tightly to the dash board. There is a clips you need to open 1st, i assume you did that. 2nd apply some water on the sucking cup and clean the dashboard area. now close the clips. It should hold very tight. This product is excelent, and you should not have any problems with it.

Just read you inquiry again. The sticky pad doesn't stick to the surface of you dashboard, which is great. I use on the take back and forth between 3 cars. We only have on GPS and only use is occasionally. I really like it and have had it for over 3 years.

No, it would not stick as well if at all. It has a sticky gel ring around the suction cup base. If the ring looses it's tackiness then you can wash it using water and a mild detergent to make it sick like new again. In my case, since my dashboard has a pebbled texture, the sticky gel ring does all of the work. While in theory one could keep it in the glove box, the practicality of pulling it out, washing it, and waiting for it to air dry before being able to use it nullifies the ability.

This will work with some slightly curved smooth dashboards. Make sure that the dash is completely clean (no lint or armor all) and the suction cup is clean as well. If it has dirt, run under water to remove dirt and let air dry. Do not wipe suction cup. Good luck.

Yes, it should fit into the mount that is on the extreme left of the picture. It will not fit in the one attached to the suction cup mount. These holders snap easily on and off the same suction cup mount. My advise is to use the adhesive disc even if you are considering direct mounting to windshield. The suction cup unit will as they all will, eventually fall off when directly applied to the windshield. Why, I don't know, but it will not come off the disc, and the disc will not come off the windshield or dashboard. Clean all surfaces with alcohol. Position the disc carefully because once set on the windshield you won't be able to remove it and reuse it.....Hint, put the suction cup on the disc, then "shop it around" for best location...then mark the window with a marker, then remove suction unit from disc, then remove covering from adhesive side of disc, and press the disc onto the windshield or dash location you marked.

I don't think so, it's done with a suction cup. My dashboard is a plasticy material as well, but I actually stick it to my windshield. It's adjustable enough to be able to position it from either dash or windshield.

I don't recommend this item. It doesn't really stick to the dashboard, it did the first few days and after that useless... I actually just tried it again this weekend and "failed" hope this helps.

It must be attached to a smooth surface, like the windshield. If you have a smooth dash it should stick. But if it's a textured dash it won't work. I attached mine to the windshield and it works perfectly! Good luck.

If you smooth like glass, then my Lexus doesn't have a smooth surface dash covering. mine is the typical "snake skin" textured dash covering and the iOttie holds great. The suction cup is quite pliable so adheres to textured dash quite well. Very pleased with mine and its used to hold an Ipad Mini used as a navigation GPS.

It does fit the iPhone and it is easy to attach and detach. I drive a Prius for work and you could stick it in the upper left hand corner of the windshield where you can easily reach it. Personally, I don't recommend anyone try to put any kind of suction device on your dashboard. Relatively little suction. Surface needs to be flat and smooth for the best results. Remember to lock it down after initial contact and after unlocking it, remember to pull the small tab so the suction breaks easily. This does work and for the price...
