I'm sorry I'm too late to stop you buying this mount. I bought one a few months ago and used it in a family trip. I put the tablet mount on the back of the passenger headrest for my 2 yr old to watch whilst we were on the road. Btw, use video in Webos as it last for > 5 hours (haven't had it working longer yet). In Android it lasts less than 2.5 hrs. Anyway, you can't leave the mount up if the touchpad isn't in the mount as all the edges are sharp and the mount sticks out so much any bending into that area and you either scratch yourself badly or hit your head on it and it hurts. So as a result I was taking it off and replacing it every time we stopped for more than a few hours anywhere. After a week of this, one of the hinges broke. They're plastic and can't handle so many on/off's & there's no way of fixing it. Yeah, it's cheap but the design is appalling. My advice to others looking at this is DON'T BUY IT.

I was looking for something like this awhile go but I already had the custom fit case so i strapped that to a headrest and it hung from the strap.

The monoprice one looks good, but monoprice.com charges shipping so it comes to over $14 (for me anyway), so I checked amazon and they have the exact same thing I picked up for 10.50 including shipping.
