[Q] Anyone tried suction cup *on back of* Galaxy Tab?

Seeing how flat and glossy that back cover is, I'm wondering if an "industrial" suction cup mount (like RAM part#: RAP-B-224-2U) would hang on to the *back of* the Samsung Galaxy Tab?? (Search gpscity.com for an example image & video... i'm not allowed to embed links yet)
I know there's all kinds of side-grip & snap-in tray style mounts out there already that should obviously work but I can't help but be curious... that RAM suction cup is so friggin strong... it would provide an easy entry into all the mix and match RAM parts I've already collected for my Samsung Q1U tablet (bicycle handlebars mainly)... and it seems like it might even yield a cleaner look than the more traditional alternatives.
Anyone have the actual hardware on hand to try this and satisfy my curiosity?

I don't know what exact model you're talking about, but I LOVE the idea! And I am quite certain you could put a suction cup straight onto the back of the tab without any problems. A double sided suction cup would be a perfect solution for car mounting...

Used this one for my HTC HD2. The Tab needs two to be held strong, but you're right its back surface keeps good suction.

I am sure it would work. I bought this small mount with stickem on the back and it works like a champ. I would think that a suction cup would be even better.

My wooden stylus

I have an iPad and a nexus s... The stylus works with both and wanted to share with you guys. I do recommend this stylus for drawing and note taking. I'm sure this will work with honeycomb tablets.
This stylus is called the E. Stylo stylus for capacitive screens.
e.stylo features:
- lightweight
- both tips work at different angles
- no extra pressure is needed for it to work
- works with gloves on
- smoothly glides over the screen
The final price of e.stylo will be $15.95 plus $4.99 US shipping and $7.99 for international shipping.
Purchased from http://www.Plai.tv/ if any artist/note takers are interested.
I also made a video of it....(videos in my signature) Check it out if u want to see how it responds on the nexus and iPad.
You can scroll the pictures to the right... sorry about the huge pics.

LOL nice
it looks like a small chopstick or a very thick toothpick
which BTW works the same way, in fact any soft edge pointy stick will do just the same
personally i prefer to use my finger nails to write, it's 100% natural in writing and you carry it with you all the time

It's very nice.... Just like a chopstick (edgy), as long as a pencil, and lightweight but not too light.... those pics suck.
I cant wait for the samsung tab, this would be a great stylus for it.
Once Sammy is out, I'm throwing the iPad in the trash. (for sale)

Tiny keyboard (external)

I just bought a Rii Handheld keyboard (RII-518), and I am very happy with it.
It looks like this:

only smaller than you think, and it was only 35 dollars from this site: http://dx.com/p/mini-handheld-rechargeable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-93118
It pairs beautifully, and the only think I don't like about it is that it doesn't work right away when you turn it on. You sort of have to push a few buttons, and then change apps - but then it works fine. I usually just turn it on when I start using it, and then don't turn it off until I put the tablet away for the night.
Anyway, try it if you think it's for you.

Tempted to buy this. One of those items I would really like to test drive before I commit though. I have would be using it for note taking in class probably. Thoughts?

Looks nice n compact..
I've got one of the diNovo mini's.

Works well, and you have mouse control as well with the trackpad on the right.

I got this one and really like it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0QLLO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01

Both of those are rechargeable? And have you tried to do any extensive note taking?

Seems way over priced, have seen similar ones for 10$ shipped on ebay, Chinese ones

Build quality on the cheap Chinese ones can be very poor though, waste of $10 if you get it and the keys don't work properly.

Well, I won't say the Rii's quality is comparable to an old IBM Model M keyboard, but it certainly works! Well worth the money IMO.

Perfect Universal car mount.

Just though I would post a really nice mount that works well with the Note II from any carrier as well as nearly any other phone, Happen to come across this while looking for Christmas present ideas and picked one up for myself and love it so far.
It uses a nice small metal plate that you can put in the back of a case or even a smaller round one that fits perfectly between the back cover and the battery/housing then holds the phone securely without any bulky snap in annoying part. Here's an URL (since I can't post links just yet) to the page for it as well if you want one which I really recommend since its only like $30 and way better than those cheap ones you can find at Walmart or anything you would find for more.

Let me know what you guys think. Hope this helps some searching for some of you!

Here's some photos of it for a quick glance.

THis has been posted before. The problem with this is that its magnetic and will at least while in use cause your spen and compass to not work. Not sure about long term effects , but samsung warns against magnets.

Iphone SUX

I havent see it effect anything while using the gps at this point. Still trlls me where im going and where im at but ill up date if something changes.
And k.0.0.l iphones do sux but why they still post them in photos of stuff I could not say why.

It really is the best universal mount. It does NOT affect the compass because our device uses GPS. It only affects the s-pen if the magnet is close enough to the tip (probably not close enough if using a case).

Swing Arm/Telescopic Tablet Mount Reviews

So, I decided to purchase one of these recently:

And so far, it works out pretty nicely
I've only had it for about an hour, but here's a quick review of it. First off, it was a slight pain to find a place for me to actually mount it to. My table has some weird indentations along the entire outter edge which made the clamp not attach securely (it might of been fine, but I wouldn't trust it ).
Ended up mounting it to my chair.
Here's the final result:
And some random shots (ignore the mess in the background )

Thanks for your post. I will be interested in reading how it stands up over time, such as does the base clamp become loose or the various hinges sag from the tablet weight? Also how far can it stretch out before sagging?
In the past I have looked at the same general idea but I preferred the tablet holders that can be added to a mike boom as they seemed more secure and flexible to move when not in use.
Here are a number of alternate tablet holders:
This would be ideal but is only made for iPad: http://www.standzout.com/

Same design as in your post "Adjustable Tablet/Desk/Car Mount Holder For iPad Samsung Galaxy and other 5-10 inch Tablet PC"
