Not recommended after 4 years of use

I bought this mount in 2012 and have used it many times with multiple phones so I feel I know the pros and cons well. It fits my bike well and pivots comfortably which gives a good viewing angle. Unlike other mounts, it doesn't have a screen cover, meaning it doesn't suffer from limited visibility or lack of touchscreen responsiveness, but there will be some issues if it rains. I've never had a phone that didn't fit, even when wearing a case. I've used a Samsung Galaxy S4, S5 and S6 and a Nexus

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great road mount

I don't have a mountain bike so can't comment on how it performs in these conditions. The circular mounting bracket includes two pieces of thin rubberized material to grip the handlebars. My steering wheel was small so I wrapped the rubber material with a few strips of duct tape. Everything turns out beautifully. My phone, the Nokia 521, is 0.2mm taller than the iPhone 5. Both are 124mm tall. The main body has two lower legs that are spring loaded. My cell phone fits comfortably in these four…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is fine

Works well on the Galaxy S5.

This was perfect for my night rides with my Trek 7.2. It didn't fit exactly so I had to use an extra washer I got from another product for my bike. I don't really care, and if you have slip issues you can use anything to pull it up. The first thing that comes to mind is to take a wide piece of tape and roll it inward so the sticky part is completely covered and doesn't get on your bike. Do this as many times as necessary until it becomes tight. This is an option, or you can even use paper…

Pros
  • Cell phones and accessories
Cons
  • A few little things

Pretty good for a 'universal' product

I recently bought new bikes for my wife and I and wanted something to keep my phone number 1 - I need it 24/7 for work and Having number 2 with me - wanted to use a bike app to track my rides. I have an iPhone 4S in a Seidio Convert case. I looked at a few mounts on other websites that were made for my particular phone and case combination, but they were a little pricey. I saw this product at Revain for about a third of the price. I have had an Arkon car mount product in the past and have been…

Pros
  • Stand
Cons
  • Some trouble

Worked great on my bike.

I wanted my bike to take it on a Labor Day weekend ride. I researched several brands and settled on this one because of the elastic strap. I've read too many stories about phones falling off bikes. Well, if the phone falls off my motorcycle, it's unlikely to survive if I ever find it again. It was very easy to mount it on the steering wheel. I installed it so it faces to the right where the handlebars go through the fork mount. I'm not sure if I can adjust the phone angle properly if I mount it

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Nothing
