How stiff is the mount? Will it move or bounce if you need to type or swipe the screen?

No it holds it firm and the foam that it rest on keeps it from vibrating. I use mine in a large utility truck. It I s constantly driving over curbs and rough ground and mine phone stays put . I love it. Once you mold the metal rod to where you want it it stays there. It's like a #4 aluminum wire under tubing. Super strong. And the adjustable side brackets hold it well

The neck will not move or bounce around it is very stiff you almost need to position it with two hands. The square part that holds the phone does swivel but you can tighten it down with a knob in back of it.

I'm using it that way. It's a tight fit and doesn't always stay attached. Also I had to remove the screen protector. Keyboard works great but the way it stages can be improved.

The thing is solid. Mounted on the window and tightened as it should be it does not rattle at all. Doesn't move. Even if you leave a little play in it so you can tilt the screen around there is no noise or shaking. I drive a Tahoe so I don't have the smoothest ride either.

It's stiff enough to keep the iPad in one place (but it does vibrate quite a bit while driving). Moving it is easy enough. The catches for the iPad are quite stiff and hold the iPad very securely. I'm happy with the product.

No. Not without a secondary bracket to stabilize. I have just the mount stand and with a <5 lb laptop it shakes like crazy driving on non country roads. Just my experience

Hi Dave, No but it doesn't glide back easily either. It requires some level of light force to move it in either direction. If you are typing "down" onto the keyboard I think you will be fine.

Matt, The unit itself is very stable. The keyboard doesn't shift in relation to the iPad and the iPad maintains the angle you choose. But I hate typing on my lap, because the iPad & keyboard is much smaller than a laptop. I had the exact situation Saturday and the unit moved because my legs don't lend themselves to stability. I can't keep my thighs together (good thing I'm not a woman!). My solution is to put my briefcase or a large folder/tablet on my lap to provide a more stable surface. But the shifting is not the fault of the Airbender. In fact, I'm finding is very stable in almost every configuration.

It's stiff enough to hold the iPad in place. If you put a frame around it, might be to heavy.

I don't think it is particularly stiff. It is smaller than a regular mouse, so I expect it would depend on how you rest your hand on it and how much you use it.

Barely. It keeps wanting to slide. I finally got so discouraged, even though they sent me a different case, that I just went to Staples and bought a case without the keyboard. No more frustration

not so much. i keep my view-screen pasted onto the body so its not a problem for me. but generally, theres not movement impairment except for the minuscule fact that the screen doesn't flop down 180 degrees from the closed face position. its a great buy, but i wish they could integrate the external chord so that it wouldn't be needed at all.

This mount will hold a lot of weight but at the cost of a lot of vibration. I would not use it on any moving object such as a vehicle or motorcycle, it picks up a lot of bumps and rattles.

Minimal shaking with a 4.5" phone. More with a 7" tablet but it has never fallen. You should use the adhesive mount on the back of a small tablet for good holding strength.

It's ok for swiping and scrolling, but the angle is a little awkward for typing on the on-screen keyboard. If you got a wireless keyboard, it would be at the right angle for reading and clicking.

It doesn't move around a lot while typing, but you wouldn't want to type out an email while using it. It's really not at an angle convenient for typing, but I got mine in order to use a bluetooth keyboard.

I have had no problem with keyboard movement. The large pad allows me to have greater range without lifting the mouse. I like it a lot. If you are a neat freak you will find that the large black surface shows dust and other things that drop on it. All you have to do is pick it up and shake it off.

Scrolling is smooth. But depending on the angle of force applied it sometimes "skids" against the plastic which supports it. (Which every now and then produces a squeak.)
