Review on ๐Ÿšฒ IPOW Universal Bike Mount Holder for iPhone 12/11 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S10/S9, HTC - Secure Handlebar & Motorcycle Cradle by Alex May

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect phone mount

I bought this mount to mount my iPhone to the handlebars of my bike. I ride my bike from home to the train station and then to the office. The roads in my town are fine, but the town near my office is pretty bad. At first I was worried the bumpy ride would knock my phone out of its holder, but it stays right where I want it. A couple of things I would like to improve: The collet nut on the swivel mount doesn't over tighten. Well, the orientation is a bit off. Ideally, I'd like my phone to be almost flat to avoid drag (as my phone is less aerodynamic than my dad's body), but the phone tilts after about 15 minutes. Another thing is not in the bracket. But mounting the phone on the handlebars exposes the phone to more weather than I thought it would. When I left the house earlier this week, it was 36 degrees outside. Fifteen minutes later, my phone turned off and drained the battery from 100% to 10%. The phone was too open on my steering wheel. I expect to have a similar problem in the summer when it gets warmer.
