Has anyone tried this on a cars dash to hold anything? Do you think it's strong enough?

Yes,it is strong enough.....depending on the surface of the dash and the surface of what you want to hold.

The dash mount is heavy, and has a non-slip bottom. It would depend on the angle, but unless it is greater than 45 degrees it shouldn't be a problem. If you do have a problem Amazon is incredibly gracious with returns and refunds as long as it is within the grace period.

It works for me. I have enough of a curve so that a small portion of the front of the holder does not even make contact with the dash and it's still very tight. It's pretty amazing.

Mine sticks to the Dash very well. Solid. I have had it mounted since December 20th with no issues at all. Off Road Driving.... Even through 20 below zero temperatures lately.... I have had no issues. Mounted to the Vinyl Dash of a Jeep Cherokee.

I don't think it would stick to a patterned dash. It does mount on the window really well, though. I use it for flying and have been through quite some turbulence without my ipad falling off.

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.

Interesting question: I am going to try mounting it in my new car and see what happens. I can velcro tape it to the dash. Never thought of it but this may be another application for the same equipment.

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.

Yeah I can see it working on those. The base, you can Twist to make it tight against one of those collapsable arms. As long as you don't break them. But I can see it bouncing allot unless you think yours is form enough for it. I see they even have dash mounts with a suction cup, you can check those out

It come with a small metal disk with adhesive on one side. It sticks to the dash the holder has a suction cup that sticks to the metal disk. I never tried it, so I don't know if it works.

It's stiff enough to hold my Nokia 970 without any problem. pretty much at any angle. It is subject to wobbling a bit when the car is moving. No big deal for me but I guess it would depend on what you want it to do.

Yes it most likely will hold it, I have just my iPad in the holder and really like the mount but I have to prop it on the dash to keep it up in an upright position, other than that I love it. Don

Mine wouldn't stick for anything either... After I left it in the car for a couple of weeks, it stuck just fine. Maybe the glue started to cure or something because now it's stuck good. Won't budge. Also, make sure your dash isn't freshly cleaned - if it's too clean, it won't stick.

It will hold a Galaxy S4 just fine and it should do so without slipping That being said, you will have problems with the suction cup if you leave the holder in the sun on your dash board.. The suction cup will eventually deform and will not hold as well.

The suction cup is pretty good. So if the dashboard is smooth enough, it'll be okay. Mine is not. So i used the easy to remove 2 sided tape.I don't know how long that will hold in the summer heat.

In my opinion, this is not the right product to use for that purpose. I don't know how you would secure it on your car and I don't know how it would hold up in the elements.

I have a Toyota Sienna with a curved dash. I mounted about six month ago or more when I bought it and it never fell off. Just clean and dry the area where you plan to mount it. Is a great product.
