The WindowSeat (which is identical to other iPhone 4 compatible versions, differentiated only by the audio cable that is packaged with the unit) is a cheap piece of junk.''
1) This mount shakes a ridiculous amount regardless of road conditions or vehicle speed. I could be doing 15 mph on a straight, freshly paved road and I guarantee it would wobble like no one's business.''
2) The product arrived with several scratches and cosmetic imperfections. The unit itself feels like it's going to break during assembly. After reading another review, I'm glad to see that it wasn't just paranoia on my part.
''3) The unit does not stay attached to anything. Not glass, not the included plastic mount pad, nothing. Short of super gluing it somewhere, I'm not sure it will ever stay in place. It has fallen while driving and even when the car is parked and no one is in it. I've stopped using it all together because I'm too afraid it will fall and damage the phone or worse yet that it may slip my mind not to use the cup holders and the phone will fall into an open, albeit small, body of water.
''4) This product is incapable of supporting the weight of the iPhone 4 and probably any other phone. It feels very unstable and is enough to make anyone queasy. I spent a bit more on this mount over ordering a cheap one on eBay in the hopes that it would better protect my investment. I was sadly mistaken.''
5) It's extremely overpriced. At what price is that per the date this review was written? Well, it really doesn't matter. It's overpriced at any price. It's not worth your time or your debit transaction.''I ordered directly from the manufacturer and they charge a 20% restocking fee. Not to mention I would be paying the bill for shipping. It's honestly not worth the hassle. I'd rather deal with a mail-in rebate than an RMA with this company.''
Bottom Line: I thought Griffin was a company I could trust and who, before this product, I used to place quite a bit of faith. In the end I'll eat the cash I dropped on this terrible product and leave both it and the company in the trash where they belong. Lesson learned.
