i.Trek GBFM Review by J. Robertson (San Diego, CA)
The base of this thing is comprised of three parts, a top rubber cover, an aluminum insert, and a rubber/plastic friction base. It's easy to tell since the rubber cover was already peeling away from the rest of it when I received it. The friction base is really not very sticky at all and combined with the lightness of the mount, it sends to shimmy around on the dash while driving, particularly if the road is at all rough or bumpy.
I ordered this unit as I believe the bean-bag type mounts are atrociously big and ugly. I still believe that's the case, but I'm now ready to accept that as an worthwhile trade-off for actual functionality.
FWIW, the garmin unit I'm using is a 295w, so it is relatively smaller and lighter than typical units (137g vs 173g for the 265WT or 221g for the 1490T) which probably has some influence on performance but likely not a game changing one.
UPDATE - I replaced this with the Garmin bean bag mount 010-10908-00 which is absolutely solid and performs perfectly
i.Trek GBFM Review by Marvin K. Mooney (Sacramento, CA)
I have an 09 Honda Odyssey which has a large dash. I did not want to use the suction type holders on the van because it would have been to far to reach to touch the screen because of the way the windshield and dash are designed. I also do not like cleaning the suction rings that get left behind on the inside of the windshield and did not want to pay the big bucks for a name brand dash pad so I bought this instead.
In two words: It works. It's not the prettiest thing or of the best quality but it does its job. The things I do not like about this mount is that the mount base (where it meets the rubber pad) is not secure. Sometimes I have to push it down to keep it flat because it'll pop up when I move or take the GPS off the ball hook. Also the rubber pad is too easily moldable. Some may like this but I do not. I want mines flat to fit my dash.
i.Trek GBFM Review by Ed (NJ)
I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend (I know, real romantic, right?) and was a bit hesitant at first, but decided against spending the extra money for the Garmin brand one. I'm glad I did. The quality seems adequate, and I don't see this falling apart anytime soon. So far, it holds up to normal driving scenarios and doesn't move at all on the dashboard. She has a saturn, which has a large dome over the steering wheel, so I molded this to fit in the corner of the dome where it meets the flat dash, otherwise it would be too far away. It keeps its shape and stays in place, so I couldn't ask for much more than that. Definitely a good buy!
