How does this holder attach to the dash and window? Is it pretty secure?

Attached to dash quite nicely and was extremely secure. I never tried it on window because I didn't want an obstruction.

Suction cup. Surface must be smooth. Put mine on windshield and it hasn't unattached yet. Fits phone perfectly!

Most car mounts have a lever which pulls up the center of the plastic cup base, making the suction required to adhere to a flat, non-porous surface. The HTC mount uses a similar method however replaces the commonly used lever with a twisting ring which pulls up the center of the suction cup. It is a cleaner design and works pretty well. I have two, one in my car window and one on my bedside table. The only issues I have had is trying to attached to the car window in very cold temperatures, then it just takes a while to warm up both the mount and the window before it works reliably.

I use a "Garmin Friction Mount" by that just lays on the dash. It has a sticky bottom that holds very well. Amazon has them.

No, its just a dock to hold your phone. Works well though. It hasn't fallen off my window once. Very good product.

It sticks to my dash really well. This thing is so inexpensive, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works - and yes, it's easy to mount and dismount. The grip to hold your device is excellent, too. Hope this helps!

It has a number of rubber gripps on the bottom but there is nothing to mount it with. My husband just sits it on his dash near the stearing wheel. It seems to stay put for the most part.

I don't know what a dash cover is. Ours is leather and it holds. The bottom of the friction mount is a fabric, possibly suede leather and things do not slide on it. If your dash cover is something like a loose cloth that moves then I think there could be a problem unless you could place it close enough to the windshield. Its got like small rocks inside and is sort of like a bean bag, if that will help you to imagine. Just think - a suede bean bag. Would it slide off your dash cover? As long as the dash cover doesn't move it would be fine, so placement could also be a consideration. From my experience with buying from Amazon and their great return policy, if you think it might work, go for it. Good luck!

No. This is totally secure. Not sure why others answered opposite. It's no more flimsy and loose during an accident than if you had kids water bottles books or little toys which would be more harmful when airborne in an accident. If you install it correctly you'll be fine. Wouldn't loose items be more deadly than this? At least this is mounted This is the best ipad holder out there. Second to none.

Yes, it is held in place by bungee type material that stretches over the center console. One complaint that I have is that every time I open it it pops off as there is no way to secure it.

It has fairly long suction cup bracket that can fastenened to the windshield or other smooth surface. It also has small brace to help stabilze it.

I'm not sure if it will secure the outside, but I have two placed on each window, which prevents someone on the outside from being able to pull up the window. I hope this helps!!!

I mount this holder on my windshield and it hasn't been off since last month. I made 2 trips from Seattle, WA to Vancouver, Canada last month. The mount is very stable but the cell phone holder comes off from the mount very easy. It works for me!

It mounts onto a rubber backing that is held in place either by zip ties or a supplied rubber band. It stays very securely.

There is a disc that adheres to the dash with 2-sided tape then you suction cup the mount to the disc.

My dash is textured and it sticks with no problem. The suction cup is a gel-like material.

It has to be mounted on the window - I tried the dash - but the suction didn't take due to the rough pattern of the dash.

I am also looking for a mounting device, but I don't want any yhting that is permanent or that will leave sticky stuff on my dash. Have you come up with any ideas

Yes, it does come with the dash holder. One issue that I discovered. As everything is black, it will sometimes overheat if left on the glare shield in the sun. Fortunately, it seems to work just as well in the back seat. This is a great product, and I use it with Garmin Pilot for complete GPS navigation from even rented planes. - Dan
