How much tension do the spring arms have, is it enough to have the phone sideways if using music player or is it best in the normal upright position?

Any position you want, and it is easily adjustable. This is a nice solid mount

The spring arms have a fair amount of tension. The kit comes with both long and short arms and both can be used at the same time in any combination to create a good hold. I only use three arms and my phone has a good hold. It is very difficult to pull the phone out of the holder without releasing the spring tension first.

I don't have my phone positioned sideways often but it's pretty solid. I couldn't pull out out if I just tried it pull sideways on the phone.

I attached a zip tie half way up the stalk affixing the unit to my center console, it is now so steady I can key pad dial in the sideways position.

We have not used it very much so as to the spring holding up I am sorry I can't help you. It does hold the GPS very well and tight. Was hoping to travel more but haven't yet. Sorry I can't answer very well for you

The neck will not move or bounce around it is very stiff you almost need to position it with two hands. The square part that holds the phone does swivel but you can tighten it down with a knob in back of it.

when the phone/device is inside, it is hard to get a tight fit on my arm and I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. It kept slipping off. Probably because phones aren't rounded! I would say if you're smaller than me, it might be hard to get a tight fit.

Vertical it's not sturdy, however, Horizontal it works absolutely great. I absolutely love this case.

That is true. With this case on, the back cannot be resting flat on a surface if you want decent sound. You'll get the best sound if the speaker is directed toward you, but that means the screen is facing away.Another reason not to choose this one: the frame is susceptible to breaking at the charge and speaker ports (ask me how I know!).

Most phones set sideways in "landscape" wouldn't be "tall" enough to be held by the "arms". So you could set it into the feet, but it would probably fall out.

This arm band is open at the top. It isn't hard to get the phone in or out when it is loose. Strapping it to your arm puts enough tension on it to keep it secure. My wife's phone has the headphone jack on top so I knew there wouldn't be any issue connecting her headphones. If yours is on the bottom, there are three small holes on the bottom that may or may not line up with the jack. The material on the bottom is stretchy so it probably will, but I couldn't say for sure.

Yes, clumsy, but you could change tracks on the music player. I find it odd to operate the phone when it's on my arm with the touch screen... Logistically speaking.

My wife and I use ours on fairly rough paved trail riding. Lots of cracks and bumps we hit at 20 mph or so. Our phones (in our cases even) don't pop loose. Also, the ball mount swivel thing seems sturdy enough not to change position. Over time it may loosen (that's my worry) but that is only speculation. Haven't had any problems with ours. Make sure your phone is clamped in tight.

The screws on my tone arm go upward into to seated nuts. Some arms may have a variation on this theme. The important factor is balancing the arm, then setting the stylus pressure.

Whenever I put my phone into the mount I use both hands to hold the mount and remove the phone with the other hand. If you don't think that's tiresome maybe it's ok. I'm not sure if 50+ times of usages will loosen the spring inside on the mount though since I use it only a couple of times a day and I've been using it less than a month. Hope it helps.

I have bought very cheap and standard ear buds, and I leave the "pod" volume control laying on the couch. Did not like having it attached around my neck. My approach works fine for me. On the other hand I have never investigated the "arms attached" feature you question. So here is a 50 percent answer.

IT doesn't have a spring. The plastic is a little flexible altought. I'm pretty sure that this is not the most confortable ear bud you will wear.It does stay behind the head, but not over.

The upright position is where I leave the stand. When I read while sitting up (lunch room at work) it is perfect, hands free reading. I don't use the recline (which would be on like arm of couch etc.) which seems like a good angle actually but you have to flip the reader around inside to use it. One or the other is convenient. Having said this, I really like this case. I take it everywhere and it still looks great. Hope this helps.

I have one of these, but rarely use it because it feels too big. I think the vertical one would be better. It does what it is supposed to do - protect the phone. But add about 1/4" to each side of the phone and this will give you the approximate size. I have found it to be too bulky, particularly when sitting down.

It does have the curve like the phone back so it tends to rotate if you try using it when it's kept on a flat surface. If you are asking if it slides around, then the answer is not really. It isn't as grippy as a rubber case though
