Review on GUB Bike Phone Mount Holder - Universal Adjustable Rotating Clamp for Mountain Bike & Motorcycle - Fits iPhone, Samsung Galaxy & Android - Black 88 by Carlos Burrows

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprisingly Good Phone Holder

When you are ready, turn off the phone either to take or use in your pocket A thin silicone case, this is a really good phone holder. The angle of the fingers is just right for my iPhone X and can work with thicker phones. They give you a sticky finger rubber that works great but I don't know how As long as the rubber holds I put 3M tape on the bottom of the mount to avoid scratching the bottom of the phone - not really but I'm paranoid or resignation. If my phone had a silicone case, I probably wouldn't worry. The phone clamp screw adjustment is easy to use, holds securely, and gives you just enough "feel" so you know how to tighten properly. used part of GoPro mount but maybe later. I like that the mount is off-center. I placed the holder over the stem which almost means the phone can be centered as the clip obviously needs to be on the side of the stem. I put a piece of tape on the handlebars before attaching the clamp to avoid scratching my carbon handlebars. The worst part is that the 5mm head pinch bolt is one of those anti-theft devices that has a little pin sticking out in the middle so a regular hex wrench won't fit. They give a special Allen key, but why at all? Of all the things that can be solved on my bike, the $20 phone holder doesn't get stolen compared to my $125 saddle. It's just stupid and annoying and that's why I'm deducting a star.
