- This is a category of gadgets from which you do not expect durability or extremely high level construction. The Macally has however been a pleasant surprise, so much so that after seeing mine, my wife tossed hers and asked me to buy one for her.
- I just don't want it UP on dash where it might obstruct view of road yet easily viewable. Hence my desire for a VERY flexible mount.
- I tried roughly 10 window mounts for my cellphone and this one has been the best for the price so far.
