The holder is designed very well from top to bottom. It was a
pleasant surprise when we went to pick up the box and it was heavier
than we had hoped it would be. The bottom is very dense and the
“beans” used were heavy enough to keep the holder in place. We haven’t
even had to use the optional loop hook, which can be adhered to the
dash for a more secure grip.
The G1 fits in the holder like it was designed specifically for it.
There’s a nice foam padding that surrounds the phone everywhere it
touches. The quick release button quickly expands the sides to allow
for grabbing the G1 when you’re ready to get out of the car. The
bottom allows for a charger to plug in so you can juice up that battery on the road.
The overall size of the holder surprised us as well. It’s rather
low profile and doesn’t obstruct our view of the road. We tried it on
the left side of the dash as well as the middle, neither giving us
trouble.
With so many Android applications being designed around location,
having your G1 in a handy place is a no-brainer. Forget putting your
phone in your lap, pockets, or cup holders. The Arkon Weighted “Friction Style” Dash Mount & Holder
puts your G1 front and center, never getting in the way. We recommend
this one to not only G1 owners, but people who have other handsets and
GPS devices. Order yours today!
