Does the job; keeps clear of USB port

Low-profile hook interface fits snugly over the Rivian's front-row seat-backs. The v2 changes are very snug, so be gentle when pushing it firmly onto the seat hook. It does feel a bit cheap, so I wouldn't be inserting and removing it all the time for fear of breaking it. I didn't notice any damage to the seats, just a slight scuff if I really looked close that cleaned off with a finger-rub. Pretty happy with the solution overall when combined with the tablet holder from Amazon (which, by the way, is great for the R1S 3rd-row seats).

You’re going to want this…so just buy it already.

VERY solid design and I highly recommend also buying the suggested mount.

It could benefit from some additional assembly pre-delivery & felt protection material on the backing would be a bonus to prevent possibly scratching the back of the seat when installing or removing.

Once installed there is more movement thru to the iPad than I had hoped for, but when put to the “kid test” the mounts received 4 thumbs up.

Buy it!

Simple, easy to assemble, completely functional. My kids love being in our Rivian even more with their new iPad set up.

Rivian seat back hanger

I appreciate the efforts and innovation OpenSource EV Parts is offering. The price point is very fair (not gougy) and the practicality of the products is fantastic. I only gave this seat back hanger 4 stars because it’s a little bulky in nature. However, it functions well and fits the application nicely. I’m new to the Rivian family and will be keeping my eye out for more products.

Good idea, but poor design and easily breaks

~5 month review: I love the idea of this unit and its flexibility to fit different phone/tablet sizes and orientation. I want to like it, but am disappointed in the quality (see #1) and the design (see #2 and 3), and am actively searching for alternate options before next summer's road trips.

1) I bought 2 for the backs of both front seats, and one broke almost immediately when my kid tried to turn the orientation....there is a thin piece of plastic holding the rest of the holder onto the seat hook that just snapped in half. I bought a replacement, and that one lasted a few months before the same thing happened again. If you buy this, set it up and NEVER try to touch or move it again.

2) Trying to install this from the front seat in a moving car is almost impossible (picture Mom sitting in the front passenger seat needing to take the tablet out of the holder to fix wifi or an error message or help a toddler navigate to another show). The angle of the hook and holder requires a level of precision that isn't easy unless you're sitting in the backseat.

3) The screw that locks in the tilt and rotate functionality sits in a tight crevice. Kid-sized fingers can fit in, but they don't have the strength to loosen the screw, and adult-sized fingers might be too big for the space. I have to take the whole unit down, reset the screw, then put the whole unit back on (which is then complicated by my #2 above feedback).

Hi Jon - Thanks for the feedback - I take these really seriously. A few things to follow up on here:

1. If something breaks, we want to hear about it so we can replace it for you. There is a year warranty on these, and we'll swap out the broken item at no cost to you with minimal fuss - just use the Contact Us link on the bottom of the site.
2. We're interesting in hearing about where these broke for you, and seeing photos if possible. We have 2500+ of these out field with hundreds more 3D printed at no cost. If you're seeing a repeated failure, that's something we want to address ASAP as it may be used in a scenerio that we haven't anticipated or we have a production issue that we need to resolve and let folks know about.
3. With the removal and reseating in transit - we would like to know more about that as well. We've been prioritizing making the latch tight over the last year or so to eliminate unwanted nosie and we thought (until this review) that we hit the spot. If there is a competing need to remove it and reinstall the item, we want to understand how. (FYI - there is no other competitor that allows removal / reinsert without tools)
4. Understood on the limited space to tighten the screw. We've been prioritizing a close fit to the seat, but we have a solution for this if you do Contact Us.

love the product but...........

I use the product all the time but since there is no way to Secure it vertically it does move up and down

Hi General - This product shoud be very snug and not move when it's installed. If it is moving for you, please reach out to us via the Contact Us page so we can get it fixed for you.

For more than just coats...

Fits perfectly and is to remove if you are worried about it for passengers in the back seat.

Use one for coats and one for hats. Hats would not hang on the original hooks so this fix reduced clutter in my cabin!

Misleading Description

I was expecting a tablet mount (like what's pictured), but instead got a hanger with a ball on it. The product page is deceptive, and funny enough, I didn't even see there was a second piece to order until coming to write this review. Why not sell an actual "Tablet Mount" vs selling a universal ball adapter, which is what this is. It's a nice ball mount so it at least deserves half the stars.

Works as advertised

Worked great. Well-designed. Easy to set-up/install. Make sure you know that you’ll need the Lamicall iPad holder from a 3rd party (Amazon), but it works great together.

Makes a little hook bigger

Bought these because you can't really hang a coat hangar off the built-in hooks, and it works great for that. Easy to install. Sticks out (and is pointy/sharp enough) that you'll want to remove if if you've got a rear passenger otherwise I feel like they'll get impaled if you brake hard. (To that end, I wish it had a little tab or something to hang on the back of the seat organizer down low when not installed.)

It is too loose

It wiggles too much. But I like the simplistic design.

Good product, but have had issues with metal insert piece

Great product, have had some issues with it laying flat and cracking due to metal insert not fitting and had to order more.

There were about a dozen or so that were manufactured incorrectly. I've reached out to everyone who was affected, and it appears that replacements are being delivered now. If something still isn't right, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Nice Work!

This a great item to add to any R1S. It is simple and looks like it is part of the original Rivian. Nice work!

Great product

I saw this product a while ago and decided to grab it before our most recent trip. It works great for my daughters iPad and she is very happy with having her iPad hanging.

It works, but it's "Jiggly"

It appears to be the only game in town for the R1S, but the fit isn't very snug so tablet devices are "bouncy".

Hi Dean - It's not supposed to be jiggly at all. Can you reach out to me with what you're hanging off of it? I'd like to understand the setup and find a solution.

This thing cracked in 5 seconds when I tried to put it on.

This is a poorly made product that doesn't fit well in my R1S. Even the screw down bolt is at an angle. This isn't ready for prime time.

Hi Eric - There seems to be an issue with your particular unit or the way it was assembled. There really isn't a way for the screw down to be at an angle. Can you please reach out via the contact us form? I'd like to understand more of what you're seeing and replace it if needed.

Works perfectly

As stated in the video, I had a couple very tight delrin pins but after getting them seated, the whole bracket went together great. I used the recommended iPad mounts and they are now permanently mounted in my truck. Thank you!
