One of the rubber legs fell off. .

One of the rubber feet fell off while my phone was driving 60mph on a motorcycle. Completely destroyed my $900 iPhone. wouldn't buy any other.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Good but not great

Lost phone, twice

Terrible. The phone flew off the cradle, not once, but twice. Yes, I should have known the first time, but to be honest I thought it was an accident or that I didn't install it properly given what is usually a good experience for RAM users. I would not trust this device on a motorcycle. I saw in several other reviews that this product might be fake, so that might be the problem. No more risk.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Not happy with everything

Perfect storage for my phone

This item is a must have. I looked at a number of phone holders but this one kept popping up in all the reviews. Then I looked at other bikes in the rallies and realized that a lot of people ride them. So I have it. Holds the cell phone. I have traveled thousands of miles with my phone in this mount with no problems. It doesn't move, doesn't vibrate, and is 360-degree adjustable on this device. It works the way you want it set up.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Available in black only

Looks like they baited us and switched us.

This is the only mounting bar I will buy again. The quality is excellent. The trick is rock hard. Everything about Ram Mounts screams professionalism. We also use Ram Mounts in all of our fire trucks at work to mount an iPad. After seeing how durable these things were, I had to buy them for my Jeep. As long as they never change the way they do things now, I won't be a regular customer. Update 6/22/18: I ordered the exact same mount again for a different accessory in my Jeep and what arrived was

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Minor issues

Almost had an accident!

I had this mount for my iPhone 10 about a month ago. It attached very securely to the side mirror of my Vespa Primavera. The upper left rubber element sat directly on top of the lower volume button and would turn off the music if I hit a bump. It was annoying, but it didn't break the deal. I was (luckily) driving down an alley yesterday when the phone fell out, bounced, fell out of its case and slid face down onto the sidewalk. I secured it securely with a rubber insert around all four corners…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some bugs

Without box or instructions.

This is possibly the second time in many years that I have felt compelled to write a negative review. One would think that this $50 product should at least come in a box with some simple instructions. I watched a few YouTube videos and at least these people got their phone mount in a box dedicated to the product. I received a Revain package with a plastic bag containing the mount. There were no directions, just a flyer promoting more of their stuff. I'm smart enough to figure out how to fix…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I'm not sure

Bought for my 98 Electra Glide. Works great so far. A couple of things: After reading reviews that I didn't get a leash, I wanted to make sure whoever I got mine from had it turned on. I saw that Semsons & Co., Inc. has 100% reviews so I called their customer service and the woman I spoke to confirmed that they only sell genuine RAM products that come packaged with RAM are and contain everything. So I went ahead and ordered from them. I received my package on time and everything (including…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Nothing

Overall good except for one issue

I got this mount for a Harley to mount my Edge 7 smartphone. Installation is incredibly easy: mount U-bolts and bottom bracket around the handlebars, slide the top bracket onto the U -shaped screw, put on nuts and tighten. Did. Using the mount is easy: just bring the two grips on each side together, insert your phone and release. I had to make some adjustments to prevent the rubber tips of my hands from pressing the phone's power button, but that obviously depends on the device in question. The

Pros
  • Includes a U-bolt base that fits 0.5" to 1.25" diameter rails and a medium-length dual-socket B-size RAM arm; Ball joint technology allows for almost infinite adjustment
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

High quality and total peace of mind

While there are literally dozens of smartphone mounts to choose from, if quality and security are your top priorities, look no further than a RAM mount. Although I talked (very briefly) about choosing a budget alternative for about half the price, I then considered two things: 1. the cost of my smartphone (about $1200 new)2. Invaluable value for carefree driving Let's face it, there really isn't a better option than a RAM mount: superb design, quality construction + made in the USA, extremely…

Pros
  • Spring-loaded X-shape design with rubber caps provides excellent holding power without hiding your phone; includes optional device cable for security in tough use
Cons
  • Expensive

Not compatible with Samsung S9

I bought this Ram mount for my HD Road King Special to be able to use the navigation function of the Samsung Galaxy S9 while driving. I am considering returning this product for a number of reasons. 1) Ubolt base and attachment system are made of hard plastic. So if you don't want the chrome or black paint to peel off your handlebars on your first few rides (if you're using a handlebar mount), you'll need to add something between the mounts. I will also say that one of the ends of the Ubolt did
