How well does this attach to fabric dashboard cover?

Not at all. As far as I can tell it doesn't attach to anything but glass or glass- like surfaces.

Pretty good actually, my car has a rugged dashboard and this keeps my phone in place, and I have a heavy phone

It won't attach to a fabric. The suction base requires a smooth hard surface like the vinyl dash material. In my case, I took the base off and used Velcro to attach the clamp portion only to my vinyl dash in order to keep it low enough not to obstruct the view.

It depends on the surface. If it's plastic, it sticks very well, but it doesn't stick at all on my leather dashboard.

I don't think it would stick to a patterned dash. It does mount on the window really well, though. I use it for flying and have been through quite some turbulence without my ipad falling off.

I don't know what keeps it in place, but it stays put. I have a heavy vinyl liner in the cargo area but don't think that keeps it from moving. The bottom on it is textured.

I don't recommend this item. It doesn't really stick to the dashboard, it did the first few days and after that useless... I actually just tried it again this weekend and "failed" hope this helps.

It doesn't necessarily stick to the glass. Once you place it on the dashboard it has a small space that attaches to the rear view mirror. Once its in place you can adjust it to your liking. You can also use the straps for more support. I was skeptical about getting it but I'm happy I did.

I also have a heavy vinyl cargo liner in the trunk of my car, but like the previous post, not sure if it is that or the textured bottom that holds it in place. In any case, I'm pleased with the purchase and haven't had any issues with it sliding around.

As long as the dashboard is fairly level for a few inches, it should hold position well. It is a weighted base with a anti slip type of pad on the bottom

The unit has a suction cup with a material that is very sticky that seals so well that the bond is very strong. My dashboard has a typical hard plastic surface that is not absolutely smooth; the texture is a pebbly faux leather with very small, rounded bumps. Also, the dash is slightly curved where my unit is mounted. Nevertheless, the iOttie has stayed in place since I mounted it two months ago. With respect to your question about removal, yes, it was easy for me to remove it from the dashboard when I repositioned it during initial mounting. I cannot speak to how easy it would be if I removed it now, but have no reason to believe it would be different. Removal was not a matter of releasing the lever on the suction cup ... that was step 1. I used the tip of a plastic knife to gently lift the edge of the suction cup up enough to allow air into the center, then peeled the unit off. It left a little sticky residue--very slight--that wiped off with a damp cloth. The iOttie remounted easily immediately thereafter and has stayed put ever since.

Not sure I would reccommend this product for your sloping dashboard. After a while in the sun, the base seems to not adhere.

I have the same dashboard as mentioned here and mine does not stick at all! Please help

Not really, dashboards are usually not smooth, but bumpy. A glass like surface is required for suction cups.

I haven't had any problem it doesn't shift or fall or slide at all, but my dashboard has some texture, if yours is very smooth or has a very steep slope it might, maybe?

It HAS to go on the dashboard. So, it will always be at least partially visible

Yes. It just clips onto the extension. I'm going to put self-adhesive velcro on mine to prevent slippage on the dashboard.

I've got mine mounted on the shiny dashboard plastic on the top of my center console in my Honda Element. It has been holding perfectly since I bought it, even in 90 degree plus weather. I'm not that gentle with it either, frequently yanking the phone out from the jaws rather than unloading the clamp to remove it.

I used it and it didn't dry completely clear like it said, and it peeled off after a while. It might work on your dashboard I would try it.
