This review is from: Roadster Smartphone Sticky Pad Dash Mount (Personal Computers)
What a great concept and product! Love the idea of my phone being in one place while driving and not worrying about it flying off the center console into the farthest reaches of the floor or under the seat. It is perfect when using the GPS feature on my phone as well as when I use my phone as a music player. The phone doesn’t move no matter how crazy the driving and you can still see the screen! I don’t have to worry about the phone and can focus on driving.
The reason for not giving 5 stars is the Roadster is not a 1-size-fits-all product. It works very well with most smart phones unless (like me) you have a protective case which makes it a bit thick to fit nicely into the slot. Some phones are thicker and you need to “wiggle” them a bit into the slot. It does not work well with Blackberrys as their screen doesn’t turn sideways when you turn the device sideways and the Roadster is too wide for a Blackberry to stand up right. Flip phones are similar to Blackberrys though you can still set them flat on the Roadster and they won’t move while you drive. Just aren’t able to see the screen, which is the reason for the Roadster. I tried many devices in the Roadster, the MyTouch 4G, Cliq, Neuron, Razor, Sony-Ericsson flip, Blackberry, Vibrant, Motorola Tough Phone to name a few.
I have also used the Roadster at my desk as a phone “dock” while it charges and while using the head set for conference calls. Gave the Roadster to some of my friends and co-workers to try out and provide feedback. All gave it positive reviews as a neat product especially those that spend a great deal of time in their cars each day. It is important to wash it weekly so it retains its “sticking” power.
There are many other uses for the Roadster; it is just up to the imagination of the user!

I have been using it for a little over a month with my samsung epic 4G . I have a seidio case on and the epic is a little thick because of the slide out keyboard. I just cut out some of the rubber to make the opening on the “mount” wider . It was easy to cut, it actually cut very smoothly. Just cut the tiniest bit out on both sides try it and then cut some more if necessary. You don’t want to cut too much. My phone and case fit in very snugly and the “mount” doesn’t move at all. It does attract dust, but its easy to clean , just stick it under the tap and give it a wipe. If the bottom gets less sticky because you have been moving it around, just stick it under the tap and give it a wipe as well and its as good as new.
