I bought 2 Kindles, as gifts, during their first year, paid over $700. My husband’s crapped out after about 13 months, my mother’s actually lasted 1 yr. and 7 months when it crapped out. Amazon told me the best they could do for me was a $25 credit towards a new one. They said that to get a replacement I should have requested one during the whomping 1 year warranty. I said: “are you telling me that you EXPECTED them to crap out and that I was unlucky that mine crapped out outside the warranty?” GARBAGE PRODUCT, GARBAGE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Hello Sony Reader!

I really liked how this worked; like most reviewers I didn’t think it would stay on the dashboard or allow me to move it around–but it did. However, after some time it loses flexibility and stops gripping–that is, you can put it on your dashboard but it’s just lying there–it no longer has much/any traction and will easily fall off. I’ve done some dangerous things as I’ve lunged to keep it from flying off–now I never accelerate rapidly or turn sharply because it will fly off. I also have to push it further back on the dash (to a flatter place) than I would like visually to keep it from falling off.

I’ve had it now about a year although it hasn’t been “working” correctly for months. I live in a very hot climate which perhaps plays a role but it’s only on the dash when I’m driving; I hide the Garmin at all other times. So its exposure to high heat isn’t that bad.

I’m now buying a new one–which I suppose gives a mixed message. $23 for 6 – 8 months? Not terrible but far from wonderful.
