Works well but has some issues

This phone holder works well but has some issues. My crossbar on my bike is a bit smaller so they didn't work well. Even fully dressed, they slipped a little. Luckily I found a piece of flexible PVC pipe in the garage. I cut it to the right length and made a slit in the side to put it over the crossbar. I tightened the clamp and now I don't see how it can be any tighter. Fits fairly large phones, in fact I have a pair of smaller fingers and a pair of large ones and it still fits my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, pretty much the biggest phone out there. The phone is well attached, the rubber strap isn't really needed but it's still good that it's there. So far I've spent about 16 hours on a motorcycle with this clamp and phone and it has worked flawlessly, with PVC hoses of course.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
