I tire of having to review every damn thing I buy.
The product is fine, and was delivered as promised.

We live on a boat and have found these to be marvelous for our lifestyle. We have three now, maybe need another! They are small, inexpensive, have nothing that will break--just the way we like it on our boat. The sound is not full, it is more like an old radio, so sweetly nostalgic and just fine for a small space. My husband uses one when he travels so that his iPhone will act as a an alarm-clock and radio without flopping around beside the bed.
Try it, it's a cheap experiment--you may find it's just the thing for your lifestyle to have something uncomplicated that does the trick.

I am ashamed to say that I was enough of a sucker to have gone through three of these cassette adapters. The sound quality was terrible and for some odd reason the cables split exposing frayed wiring that eventually breaks and severing the connections also the tape mechanisms constantly make clicking and snapping sounds while in operation. I do not recommend this product to anyone. Try Sony's adapters.

Sometimes the signal quality is very good. Other times it is not as good. Pretty par for the course on FM transmitters. Often I would find myself placing one finger on the side of the unit as I drive in order to boost the signal quality.
The arm is very stable and stiff and will not move unless you move it yourself. What cases me to go from this to another FM transmitter is the fact that it does not hold the phone securely. If I go over a big bump it will loosen the phone. Then all it takes is a hard turn to send the phone flying to one side or the other.
I have the thinest case made for the iPhone, and my case causes the fit to be less than ideal. If you have anything thicker than the Case-Mate Barely There, your case will not fit with this transmitter. You would be required to remove the case to use the transmitter.
I recently bought the FlexPod+. It is far superior to this case. It holds the phone securely. It has MUCH better signal quality. It is cheaper. In short, skip the Griffin and go with the FlexPod.

I have a rather small desk that I've got to fit a lot of stuff on and this gave me the space and lift that I needed. It lifts my macbook up so it hovers right above my m-audio keystudio at perfect viewing height and my usb guitar interface fits neatly underneath. Add the rolling shelf under the desk for mouse and keyboard and you've got a very functional, very attractive and very compact little amateur recording setup! Just a couple things to consider though: First, ONLY get this if you plan on either using while standing (e.g. DJs) or using a separate mouse and keyboard because it raises the computer too high to type on comfortably while sitting at your desk. Second, it is not at all adjustable and while it works perfectly for my needs, make sure to measure out your space before you buy. Here are some more useable dimensions then the ones provided by amazon: L(top) 10" x L(bottom) 8.75" x W 10.6" x H(front) 4.5" x H(back) 5.75"
PS. Since they added the caps at the end of the arms where the laptop sits, there is no way the computer is going to slide off. With this new feature, all the old negative reviews about slippage are now moot.
