RAM-B-189-PIV1-UN9U – RAM® X-Grip® with Twist-Lock™ Pivot Suction for 9"–11" Tablets
The RAM-B-189-PIV1-UN9U pairs the RAM® X-Grip® cradle for 9"–11" tablets with a dual articulating Twist-Lock™ suction base, where each cup pivots independently for a secure hold on curved windows and surfaces.
Key Features
- Spring-loaded X-Grip® cradle grips most 9"–11" tablets without hiding the screen
- Easy-access grip knobs on the back release the tablet quickly
- Dual articulating suction base — each cup pivots independently to suit curved windows and surfaces
- Cups reposition to suit convex or concave surfaces
- Medium double socket arm; RAM ball-and-socket design allows near-infinite adjustment
- High-strength composite, powder-coated aluminium alloy and steel; lifetime warranty on the mount hardware, with the suction cups excluded as a wear item
Works With
Most 9"–11" tablets that fit the cradle dimensions below, with or without a sleeve. Each cup articulates independently and can be repositioned to suit convex or concave surfaces, so the base follows curves a fixed twin-cup base cannot; on flat or gently curved glass the fixed version, the RAM-B-189-C-UN9U, does the same job for less.

Care & Warranty
- Smooth, non-porous surfaces only — anything rough or textured lets air past the seal and the cups will not hold.
- Clean the surface thoroughly before you apply the cups.
- If the vehicle is left sitting in extreme heat or cold, release the cups and stow the mount rather than leaving it loaded.
- RAM® classes suction cups as a general wear item, so the cups are excluded from warranty cover. The base, arm and cradle hardware are covered as normal.

FAQs
How is this different from the standard dual suction version? Each suction cup articulates independently and can be repositioned to suit convex or concave surfaces, so the base follows a curve that a fixed twin-cup base cannot sit flat against. On flat or gently curved glass the fixed version, the RAM-B-189-C-UN9U, does the same job for less.
Will it fit my tablet? It suits most 9"–11" tablets within the cradle dimensions above. Measure your device with its case on to be sure.
Is there a shorter-arm version? Yes — the RAM-B-189-PIV1-A-UN9U uses the same articulating base with a short arm for a lower-profile mount.
Are the suction cups covered by the warranty? No. RAM® treat suction cups as a general wear item, so they sit outside the lifetime warranty. The rest of the mount hardware is covered as normal.
What surfaces will the cups stick to? Glass and other smooth, non-porous surfaces, flat or curved. Textured dashboards, matte plastic and anything with a grain won't hold. Clean both the cup face and the surface before mounting.
