The Samsung Galaxy S3 will fit in the X-Grip cradle, either the RAM-HOL-UN7U (snap-link version), or the RAM-HOL-UN7BU (with 1" RAM ball). The rubber washer comes with the UN7 snap link cradle, and is designed to fit into the socket before the snap-link ball is inserted. It helps to increase the friction between ball and socket and keep it sturdy.

Will a galaxy s 3 fit in the fingers?

The snap link ball is approximately 0.75" in diameter.

I know that the normal ram ball is 1" diaWhat but what is the diameter of the snap fit ball?

After viewing video watch?v=K2G3FamLAuQ what do you think caused the mobile to fly away? And what could have been done to prevent this situation from happening?

[@GPSCity]

mozbius This is speculation, but it looks to me like the person in that video was using the RAM-HOL-UN10BU, which is a slightly larger version of the X-Grip designed for larger phones, like the Note 2. The UN7 is the more common X-Grip, and because it is smaller, is going to grip devices a little tighter.

GPSCity That could explain it. I'm still going to order this and think of a failsafe (some kind of a leash perhaps or locking mecanism) and test the Xgrip in one of the most demanding roads in the civilised world... Montreal, Quebec! :-)
