    Trying to find a good one since the Prius has a curved dash. Most of the ones I look at all the reviews say this one is great if you have a flat dash but won't conform to curved dashes. Does anyone have any luck with a particular one? I need to get for a good mounting option.

    Thanks

    What are you trying to mount? GPS, Phone?

    Realize that in an accident, the bean bag + whatever you have attached to it becomes a flying projectile. IMO, a good quality mount like ProClip is better.

    I like the idea of the ProClip. However I don't like that it either blocks part of my vent or part of my radio/dash area. I know its minimal but I have used similar items in other vehicles in the past and it bugs me. Also 2 different devices I would like to mount at different times, both different sizes. AND one being GPS that has to use its own mount (which I find really dumb but its the only way to charge the unit)

    If ProClip was just an option that added a smooth surface for my to suction things to I think it would be a great option for me, unfortunately its doesn't seem to fit what I need.

    For GPS, depending on the brand, you can get suction mounts for the windshield.

    GPS suction mount | eBay

    Garmin GPS units come with an adhesive disc that you can stick on the dash that will create a flat surface that you can mount the suction mount on. The Prius has a large windshield, usually the lower left hand corner is available for the GPS and it wont obstruct too much of your view when mounted in that position.

    It is not a bean bag mount, but I have a Handstands sticky pad dash mount which is along the same lines as a bean bag mount. It peels on and off like a post it note and the base conforms to the dash very nicely and I think it looks quite nice. I have used in in both a gen 2 and gen 3 Prius and have had mine for a couple of years now.

    With the Handstands stick dash mount do you ever have a problem with it tipping forward? It seems like the weight would cause it to tip forward. Any issues?
