Will this cover up a smartphone's back camera? I.e. would this be able to be used with a car dashcam app? I have a nexus 5 for reference.

This bracket is about 2 1/2 inches wide. If tablet is place horizontally in clip and camera is not in middle 2 1/2 inch area it will not cover camera. Nexus 7 camera is in back corner so it does not cover it, I don't know where nexus 5 camera is located. You could put bracket to closer to one side if necessary to clear camera.

Yes - I just measured and there's only about half an inch clearance from the solid body back and the end of the arms. I tested with a Samsung Galaxy S4. I tried to mount the phone sideways, but it wasn't wide enough.

It's essentially on a ball joint. The freedom of movement will probably be limited to your phone actually meeting the cars dash at some extreme and useless angle.

I wouldn't recommend this hood shield if you are looking for good protection, since it a "Small" protector literally. It attaches to the car using 3M adhesive tape and only protects the 5 inches above your front emblem.

This cover does not cover the front and back, only the back. You will still need a smart cover for the front, and this works very well with the standard Apple iPad smart cover. It does not interfere in any way with your ability to take photos.

I first thought of a dash mount, but the camera is designed to use a windshield mount, and too much retrofit to change it. Once I tried the windshield mount provided and mounted it just in front of the rear view mirror, I've been satisfied. Give it a try. If it's not what you want or like, you can return it for something else.

The black case is not transparent. It should hide the white from your phone in all areas other than the front face and the rear camera.

Yep! Check out this one: TaoTronics Car License Plate Frame Rear View Backup Camera, (170 Degree Wide Angle / Night Vision / Waterproof Metal Casing / Black) TT-CC17

No, it covers the front facing camera (the one on the side with the screen). Because it's a matte finish, it makes the camera image very blurry and essentially unusable.

I would say use it would, I have a Google Nexus 7. There is a sticky place for the tablet so it doesn't have to cover any part of the tablet. And the sticky part is really sticky, it doesn't fall out of the cover. I really like this style as it can be set up landscape or portrait. I hope that helps.

It is for the first generation Nexus 7 which does not have a back facing camera. Therefore, it only has an opening for the front facing camera.

Check dimensions of Iphone 5 to 5C.... This mount/case is not very stable (very shaky) when used for auto racing. Also the touchscreen portions bows-out when the case get hot and makes navigating on the screen pretty difficult. I am not sure your application or if you will have these issues......

No!!! This was created for the first generation nexus and it does not have an opening for a rear facing camera. I bought my case in Jan 2013.

you would likely need to attach to a tripod or mono-pole. I do not know if it will fit a Nexus 5.

No. I've taken pictures with my Nexus 5 and it doesn't interfere at all. The case comes with cutout on the back and it is a perfect cut out for the flash and camera.

Nexus 7 has no rear camera. If you are using this case for a tablet with a rear camera you will have to slide it partially out to use the camera. The Nexus 7 camera aligns with a hole (face side of case) for use.

I was kinda wondring the same thing. Im looking for a rear camera for car when driving or when sitting still at red light. Hope someone can send me to the right product.

I use it for driving cam for my truck. I haven't use it for personal photo or personal recording. What I can see is that when driving, even if I tailgate the car in front, I still can't see the license plate. But if I were to park and the car is in front I can see it just fine. This is due to the resolution of the camera. Also the battery did last about hour and a half when I first got it, but about 3month of use the battery life is down to less then 15minutes then it goes dead. I don't use this any more. I went and bought completely different camera.
