Does this iPad mount stick to surfaces that are the slightest bit rough?

I would not depend (bet ;-) on it. It can stick well to flat and solid surface; but in some cases - surfaces with some pattern, like some vehicle dashboard: it had difficulties. (I am sorry to tell You this!)

Yes. It has stuck to the dashboard of my 2006 Hyundai Sonata, a rented Chevy Tahoe, a rented Ford Focus, my wife's Ford Edge. The Tahoe and the Sonata both have a sort of faux leather grain to the top of the dashboard, and the iOttie sticks really well. In fact, I often have problems getting out of a rental. If you have any issues getting it to stick, just moisten the suction pad a bit.

No. The iPad sits in a trough like groove in the keyboard and it is a static angle and a rigid structure. I have found this very nice as the whole thing does not flop flat or slide apart if I set it on my lap or move it around while using it.

Yes, other wise it'll not stick! Just clean the place you're going to place the mount on really welll and then press hard and lock it.

It is a great mount, I downsized to ipad mini. It works better for me in a c150. Ram stuff is great.

I agree that it clings to the included metal plate, but the magnets are not very strong otherwise. I sometimes attach it to the face or side of my iPad and it always slides down. Luckily it is not round so it does not roll away. Other than that, it is a very good stylus, especially if you purchase the available microfiber tips. I like those a LOT!

Not a friction fit - there are snap mounts that hold it in place. My has held solidly ever since I installed it, btw.

It seems to be fairly slip resistant, and does pretty well on hard surfaces. I put it on the dash of my car as I was driving and under "normal" conditions it stayed put.

Yes it most certainly does! I wasn't convinced at first, but this mount has survived 3 moves and still works amazing!

I did not utilize it because I ended sending the Ipad mini to fix at a shop near by, I imagine that it sticks on one side and the other has to be heated but this does not look like the real deal it looks cheap.

Yes. You can mount it with the edge holders and it will slide out. If you mount it with the stickies it will still come off with a bit of tugging but remounting it will be a little more complicated. You'll probably have to use new stickies if you want to remount and certainly if you want to flip it over and use the other side instead (one side is glossy and the other is matte).

The suction cup is pliable and a little sticky. I think it may sick to a slightly textured surface. My dash is very slightly textured and mat. I hope I've helped.

The mount has a rubber cushion block that reduces vibration. My mount is in an airplane and is very stable holding an iPad Air in rough flying conditions similar to running over potholes in a car. The suction mount has a sticky surface and would hold tight if you mount on a smooth flat surface.

Depends on the mount. I use a magnetic mount and the large trident emblem on the back of the case makes it so the magnet won't cling. I'm getting more magnets from the dock manufacturer to see if it helps.

The mount itself is very solid. With my 2597 (5" screen) mounted on it, I can press down on the whole assembly with over 2 pounds of added down pressure, to the point the whole dashboard flexes a little, and there are no signs of anything giving out.

Sticky pad holds very well, when I mounted gps on it, I noticed gps was shaking a little so I removed it without tools and no damage to my dash. The suction cup never fell off the windshield, I love it.

It works well when the surface of contact between the dash board and the bound is large. Usually, this means that the area of the dash board where you place the mount should be as flat as possible or even concave (i.e., downwards). If it is convex upwards the friction may be not enough. Also, make sure you dust the dash board surface regularly, otherwise dust sticks to the bottom of the mount and the friction subsides. Then, if you make a sharp turn or accelerate fast, the thing may move or even fall to the floor.

This is our second mount, the first one didn't stick to the dash. The one we have now my husband had to use a little force and it went together fine
