Thanks Arthur--I'm wondering if this holder will work with my iphone 4 which has an Otter "Defender" case which adds a bit of thickness (a plastic case and rubber over-case). I already got one holder (Tomtom) where my iphone 4 won't work, so am hoping to find one that will. Thanks, jc PS. Also do you think this holder would work with the Portable Friction Beanbag Dashboard mount (Gilsson)

I went ahead and bought the mount. It works fine with the bumpers on my i4. In fact, I have to say I prefer it to the original Satechi mount I used for my 3Gs previously. I recommend it, for what that's worth.

Once mounted on dashboard / windshield for Iphone 4, has anyone used it to take pictures / video? I want to know whether it is able to bend (at an angle?) to have clear view and the mount point doesn't obstruct the view.

I can't say for sure about the Otter Defender, but it fits very well with plenty of room to spare on my i4 with Apple Bumper case. My bet is it would work well. FWIW, I'm *very* happy with mine. It's the third Satechi car holder I've put into my cars, and I'm a fan.

I would like to know the answer to this question as well. I don't use a bumper, but I do use a case so I would also like to know if I should use the alternate cradle.

It comes with three sets of 'arm' with multiple slots not shown but on the sides (if I recall correctly). They are flexible. For instantance, I rock mine in and out of place to use a snug fig around my iPhone5s but there are wider ones. I can't say how wide it goes but it looks like it would possibly fit. The main concern you would have is the proximity to the pad you rest on to your phones antenna. Most of the loss comes from this being a proximity antenna and not directly connected to an antenna port. If you want my 2 cents. Go to someone like TelcoAntennas and search out your model for the antenna patch cable and you can buy on amazon the antenna patch cable and window or magnetic mount antenna. There are even magnetic mounts that guide you antenna in from your trunk and into your vehicle to where you connect to your phone. Just remember this is a signal booster but not very much gain will be noticed unless you closely match up your antenna (and your phone is wide and probably along the outside rim) to the amplification point on the cradle. It's not for everyone. But heck, you can always buy and try, right?

I can confirm with 100% certainty that this WILL NOT work on a Samsung Galaxy SIII with the Otterbox Defender case. I had this dock with a smaller case, and it worked great. But I decided to upgrade my case to the Defender, and it no longer fits in the bottom cradle (even with insert removed) and the top spring arm will not close on it. Looking for a new mount as we speak. :(

yes, the holder expands so fits even iphones with those huge bumper cases. you should have no problems with the normal cases.

I also thought it didn't work with iPHone 4 until I took Dorothy T.'s suggestion. I took off my bumper and now it works great!

A co-worker bought this item for his 3rd Gen Touch and I am able to; without any doubt confirm that this cradle DOES NOT physically fit the iPhone 4 (or 3G-3GS). The opening is much too short (iPhone 4 height is 115.2 mm, 3G-3GS is 115.5 mm). The iPod Touch 3rd Gen that this cradle supports is 110.0 mm, iPod Touch 4th gen is 111.0 mm and will work but needs a case to add some thickness. You would have to break the top clip of the TomTom cradle to make it work for an iPhone 4.Sorry to report this, I was REALLY hoping that this would work too.

Hi Jon. I purchased this gadget for my daughter in law. This is her reply:i'm not sure what he's even asking but the holder extends up and out and there is a small screw (black )that you twist to fix it in place. maybe his phone is too big for it. Is it an Iphone?Diane

Although I don't have an Iphone, I have a Samsung S2 with a case and it holds it find. I hhave also used it for 2 different GPS devices and an XM radio. The Iphone is smaller than all but the XM radio. The holder is very adjustable and should work fine for your I phone. I think the holder is great. I am going to order several more for other uses. At the price, how can you go wrong?Hope this helps.

the documentation says it has docking adapters for the iphone ( they mean 2g) and the 3g. I could not fit our iphone 4 in either of the adapters. If I removed the adapters I cou;d jam the iphone down on the connector without an adapter, but Im afraid that will hurt the female part of the connector that lives in the iphone.

I can confirm that he SC-HC25 does work on the iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1. I just bought a refurbished unit from someone on Craigslist and I just hooked up it up to my iPhone and it works. It took a little while for the unit to "recognize" the iPhone. I found that if I clicked the CD source button and then the iPod source button, then after that the unit recognized the iPhone and it worked fine. It was a big relief when I heard the music because a couple of the reviews suggested that the iPhone 4 or 4S might not be compatible with the SC-HC25. Another note: both these iPhones have full cases (not just perimeter bumpers) and the phone fits easily in the dock even with the cases on. The "cradle" around the dock is fairly large so I'd think even a pretty big case would work. YMMV with other cases.

Check dimensions of Iphone 5 to 5C.... This mount/case is not very stable (very shaky) when used for auto racing. Also the touchscreen portions bows-out when the case get hot and makes navigating on the screen pretty difficult. I am not sure your application or if you will have these issues......

Simply put, yes.The only difference between the 4 & 4S is the placement of the ring/silent switch, which is only higher/lower on the side by a matter of millimeters.I have a 4S and my GF who had a 4 used the bumpers interchangeably. Bear in mind that this particular bumper does block the SIM card tray, but that's only if you have a 4 that uses one...

It works pretty well. It mounts on the side where the quiver mounts so I don't think you can have both mounted at the same time. ( I never use the quiver personally) The mount offsets the weight of the quiver. I mounted my IPhone 5-s in an otter box with no problem. An IPod should fit fine. The phone goes in and out of the mount with ease. I can do it with one hand. I like the mount. I think it was worth the $. Hope it helps.

I don't know. I have the 4S version. On the 4S the headphone jack exits the top left opposite the on/off button and the cradle does not interfere with it. Even the car charger can be used by moving the flexible arms at the base of the phone to the side. Just squeeze the sides tighter so it won't slip.

It might, since its adjustable, I've had three different size phones secured in it? (Galaxy S4 & S5 & a Moto X) But I'm not sure of the largest width it opens up to? I'm sorry, but I can't find any more information regarding the size it will open up to? Please forgive me, for not going outside & measuring the actual thing, but it's cold & wet & dark outside! lol I did find this model though?

Hi. I only know that the metal cradle for the iPhone/iPad, has the same shape to put your devise on as the plug that comes with the iPhone. The sides of the cradle are open to accommodate the various widths. The only thing that doesn't work is the Otter Box. The slot for the plug/cord is recessed inside the cover and won't let the devise snap on. If you have the same shape plug opening that us on an iPhone, it should be ok.

No, I think you need to find the model designed for the SII. Check out model RND-CRY-EPICTOUCH on Amazon and see if it might work. The SIII phone has a more curved shape at the bottom versus the more squared SII. I really do like the RND cradle I bought for my SIII and it works well with slim case in place on phone
