I bought this to use by my bed. i found myself hurting from holding my device up for lengths of time. This helped a lot. My Kindle Fire fits best with the top of the device in the wide end. If I placed the top in the narrow side of the clamp, it would be pushing the buttons so it wouldn't work. It doesn't fit at all if I put it in across the width of the Kindle fire. The gooseneck does work well for my needs. I am grateful.

This is pretty cool. Nice design. The ability to generate a wireless network for iphone pairing and control always impresses friends and family. I can see Saturns rings. Crisp images of the moon. You compromise the reach available to you at this price range if you happen forego the computer and motor and software available with this product for a manual variety. That has to be considered. I'm personally all for software, and electromechanical systems so this suite my taste. Delivery was prompt.

Exactly what I needed to be "hands free" for the occasional trip when GPS is needed. I placed the larger rectangular magnet between my cell phone/ case.  My phone sat firmly on the mount and didn't move until I intentionally removed it. The portability to move to various vents in the car is a plus when trying to avoid the sun that shines in the car window, and you can't beat the price.

Fantasitc.

Fluent adjustment but stable.

I have an extra keyboard. I can store it underneath when I am not using it.

Cheap, ingenious.  Works well.  The swivel comes loose after a while of use but it's pretty easy to just tighten it back up.  I'm sure if I wanted to permanently afix it in one position I could apply an adhesive.  Bought one for me and one for my wife, we both love them.

This is just as good as it looks in the picture.  The bendy neck is the correct stiffness - enough to hold it in any position.  Switch on the back of the head is convenient for turning it on and off without unplugging. Recommended.

Gooseneck is harder to adjust than I predicted. The adjustability of the clamp is not super convenient, you have to screw and unscrew it manually. That being said, the hard to adjust goosebeck and inconvenient clamp are SUPER sturdy and actually work. I'd take a sturdy, stable product over a convenient, unreliable one...since at this super low price it's not likely to get both.

I'm sure it seemed like a good idea to some engineer--- let people control their music in their car by hand motion. And so the engineers at Monster created this bad boy, which lets you control your Apple device by waving your hand.

First, what I liked about it, and why it's still in my car: It is sweet that I am direct connecting to my iPhone, so I can charge and be hooked to my car stereo with just one plug. I do think the output fidelity is a little better, and I don't have to worry about adjusting the volume on the iPhone. It also works great with Pandora, which is a plus. Having a cord stash built into the charger also earns kudos, making my dash look neater. Win. It has found a permanent home on my dash.

But... the hand motion thing just didn't work for me. My charger port is tucked in behind the gear shift on my 2012 Civic, and so I have to really focus on my hand to not bump the gear shift and to get the wave motion right and not accidentally trigger it when I'm reaching for something else. I found myself having to look down to make sure where my hand was, and then continually getting frustrated when the motion wasn't read right and did the wrong thing. Major fail. I've actually put electrical tape over the sensor to disable it--- that's what a pain it is for me. It would have actually worked much better (and been much cheaper!) just to use plain manual push buttons that I could tactically feel and that wouldn't have been so easy to accidentally trigger-- but that wouldn't have been sexy enough, now would it Monster? And by the way, did you really have to make a big oversized connector, big enough to put MONSTER on it, but too big to use through most cases & covers that are available for the iPod and iPhone?

Just like most Monster products, this is a monstrously over-priced disaster of style over substance.

I'm a Realtor in a rural county in the NY Catskills. Hilly, with lots of drop out spots. I've had a Wilson booster at my house for a couple of years (works flawlessly). When out driving, though, I often dropped calls in the county's notorious dead spots. I checked out Wilson Electronics' car boosters, but cringed at the expense of a full blown in-car system (about $300). Then I saw the Sleek, and decided to give it a try. At $89, I wasn't all that hopeful.

It arrived yesterday. Installation was quick and easy. I bought the optional gooseneck arm, and knowing that my dash was textured, I also bought an Arkon mounting plate. (You need the 80mm size to accommodate the width of the gooseneck suction cup base.)

Then I went out driving, and placed calls to colleagues when I was about to hit the notorious dead zones. I was on a call with one colleague when I said, "I'm about to hit the dip at Indian Lake." A notorious spot for dropped calls. I've never known anyone to hold a call through the Indian Lake drop. In fact, we're so used to the Indian Lake dip that when you're about to hit it, most of us say, "Hitting Indian Lake. If I lose you, I'll call you on the other side." But all of us who travel through the "Dip" know that it isn't "if". The call will drop.

The call held through the dip. When I reached the other side, the colleague I was chatting with said, "Email me the info. I'm buying one tomorrow!"

The pros: it works. Installation is pretty straight forward. Not expensive.

The cons: You end up with lots of wires --- one to the charger and one to the antenna. So it's a bit of a spaghetti like tangle. My dash doesn't have enough of a flat area to mount the included adhesive mounting plate, so I ordered the gooseneck adapter. With the gooseneck adapter (with a suction cup base), Wilson should include a smooth surfaced adhesive mounting plate, like Garmin does with its GPSs. The suction cup base holds like steel; it didn't fall off during over 80 miles of rough road driving. But note that it only grips a perfectly smooth surface. It won't drip to a surface with even the slightly texture, like most dashboards.

An elegant, simple, high-functioning, connected device

While the gooseneck will bend in any direction you desire, it isn't very long (depending on your need), which may be a good thing. Once there is some weight on the cradle, the unit will wobble and eventually dislodge from your car's power center. There is an adjustment to tighten up the contacts, which may work on different (older?) cars who's power centers were intended to be used as cigarette lighters. However, on my previous 4 vechicles, they are no longer intended as such and are simply used to power electronics. Therefore, the sockets are completely smooth inside, devoid from those old school notches that would be useful for this adjustment mechanism.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I can't believe that such a cool looking headset works so well and is so easy to operate. I simply hold the button in for two seconds, my motorola phone asks me to say a command, and I'm placing a call. Great for hands-free use in the car! It fits easily into my ear, and helps to block out unwanted noise. I was surprised how securely it stays in place. I especially like the clever case which not only protects the earpiece, but recharges it as well! It's easy to throw in a messenger bag to carry with me. This was well worth the cost!

I really like this. It's fully adjustable to fit my hand. The software allows it to be set up any way you want. I find using this is much more comfortable than using just the keyboard as it can be positioned anywhere you find comfortable. I have had no compatibility issues with Windows 7 or the Windows 10 upgrade.

The Tiki USB microphone offers so many cool features, including intelligent speech, intelligent mute and noise-canceling technology that I can't bring myself to grade the entire package on its lesser-than-hoped performance for podcasting.

I tested the Tiki USB microphone on three laptops. Blue, the company behind this snazzy little recording device, touts its portability and it measures up well. I read some other reviews before posting my own and noted that Mac owners are having trouble getting the USB connection to fit. No problem here. I carefully slid the Tiki into each laptop - HP, Toshiba, Dell - with no problems. Is it a tight fit? Yes, but if your MO is to jam things in and rip things out of your USB inputs...well, you get what you deserve.

The microphone did a good job providing noise-free communication with Skype. Again, if I used that more often, I'd be thrilled with this product. The Tiki also paired well with my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Dragon-NaturallySpeaking-Premium-11/dp/B003VNCROU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11</a>.

However, I was fortunate enough to review the product for free as part of the Amazon Vine program. I wouldn't be happy paying about $50 if my intention was to use it for podcasting. I'd still recommend Blue though; try their&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Blue-Microphones-Snowball-USB-Microphone/dp/B002OO333Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone</a>, which are only $15 more, instead. Be sure to pick up a pop filter as well to reduce the sharp P, S, and T sounds that can wreck a voice over.

BTW: I'm learning more about podcasting, too. I purchased and recommend this guide,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Podcast-Solutions-The-Complete-Guide-to-Podcasting/dp/1590595548/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Podcast Solutions: The Complete Guide to Podcasting</a>.

One final note, Blue sets itself apart with its attention to product and packaging design. Half of the box the microphone arrives in is actually a plastic, hinged carrying case with Tiki carvings on the outside of the black box.

In summary, the rating depends greatly on how you intend to use the microphone. If you need an upgrade to better hear Grandma's voice via Skype or you want a hands-free, headset-free option to using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, a five-star rating is in order. However, if podcasting is your aim, this won't substitute for Blue's tabletop USB microphones and a pop filter.

Rating: Four stars.

There's nothing more frustrating than being forced to use BOTH hands to deal with a simple portable radio.  All the controls could fit conveniently on the top of this unit, leaving the face to have a much bigger, easier to read display.  Top-mounted controls don't need a helping had to stabilize the unit; as when using these buttons mounted on the front or side.
Another minor area to whine about: Make the base wider so the unit isn't so "tippy".  Shorter, squatter radios are a must for portability that won't tip over!
Still, I love the digital tuning and station memories.  Other reviews tout the durability; I've not tossed or dropped mine yet, so I can only hope it takes some abuse.
The rechargeable aspect of the radio is fantastic; I ordered the Sanyo eneloops and am very happy.

The ability to flip the display 180 degrees is very slick, the device looks good and works well.  I've been designing electronics professionally for many years, and I can say this is better designed than typical consumer products.

The whole device is way better than my home made contraption for holding a smartphone (see photo). It's compact, easy to clamp and unclamp on the table. The gooseneck arm is robust, so you never have to worry about it accidentally bending or moving when you tap the smartphone. My only quibble is the spring on the clamping device for the smartphone is very strong. It was designed to hold the phone reliably in a snap, but it can be tricky to make adjustments. I wish they put a small knob like they have on tripods for studio lighting, but maybe that would cost more and add weight. Overall, I like it and the price makes it very good value. I recommend it.

I would also get a wide angle lens to clip on the smartphone so you can capture more from a short distance.
