Do the job of holding a 10 inch android tablet in place-Priceangels.com

Constructed of metal and tough plastics, the PanaVise line of Portagrip 10 inch android tablet mounts are as durable as they come. But the 15509 Portagrip also shows they can accommodate some extreme applications. This particular tablet mount, intended to suction cup to a windshield, incorporates a very long, extendable arm, making it suitable for cars with very wide dashboards, recreational vehicles, or construction equipment.

The tablet clamp is the same piece that PanaVise uses across its line of Portagrip mounts. This clamp has a soft backing, so as not to mar any 10 inch android tablet placed in its care. The short, or bottom end of the clamp, has two little feet that swivel so they can be pushed out of the way.

Two spring-loaded ratcheting arms do the job of holding a 10 inch android tablet in place.

At the press of a button, the arms pop out, opening up to a 3.75-inch width. That means it will easily hold a Samsung Galaxy S4, and even smaller tablets. After placing a 10 inch android tablet between the clamp arms of the 15508 PortaGrip, push them together and they ratchet closed, holding the 10 inch android tablet firmly in place.

With the 15509 PortaGrip suction-cupped to a windshield, I found I could operate the clamp with one hand, simultaneously holding my tablet against its soft backing and squeezing the clamp arms together. Pushing the button to pop open the arms, I quickly learned to keep a grip on the tablet, lest it fall out and hide under the car's seat.fd5aDJK6

Given the design of the clamp arms, this mount is intended to hold a tablet in a vertical position. The gimbal allows it to be swiveled to horizontal, and tabs on the clamp arm can be moved to grip the tablet closer to its center, but the narrowness of those tabs made for a questionable horizontal hold.

For a passenger car with a wide dashboard, the PanaVise 15509 Portagrip would be too unwieldy as a 10 inch android tablet holder. The long arm would put the tablet in reach of the driver, but it also puts a thick, metal tube running straight out from the windshield towards the driver. This mount would work better in a larger vehicle with a big cab, or even a boat.

The carrier unveiled the sleek Kevlar-encased Droid Maxx, Droid Ultra, and Droid Mini Q88 Android Tablet , with all three boasting the bleeding-edge features today’s top-shelf handsets require. The latest Droid trio will be available on August 20, with pre-orders starting immediately.According to Verizon, the Droid Maxx will be the longest lasting 4G LTE tablet powered by a 3500 mAH battery. That sort of energy source should keep the tablet running for 48 hours of mixed usage.

The three new Droids also share a lot of advanced digital goodies that will make any tabletophile drool. Start with the basics: Each tablet will run on Jellybean 4.2 and carry 16GB of onboard storage running with 2GB of RAM. Each tablet boasts a 10-megapixel back-facing camera as well as a 2-megapixel front camera and 720p AMOLED display. These new Droids can all boast a 24-percent faster CPU, a 100-percent faster GPU, and twice the RAM of last year’s bunch.
