Review on Arkon Bike Motorcycle Handlebar Mount Holder for iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S3, LG, Motorola, HTC by Govindarajan Diepenbrock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 towels, just something that folds easily and fits. I've seen several complaints that it doesn't work with certain types of phones. and I can only say what I have, which is the Samsung Galaxy S5. Fits perfectly and has never fallen out. The product comes with eight "legs" to protect your phone, as well as a lasso. I ended up using two tall and long legs for the top of the phone and two small and short ones for the bottom. Keep in mind that if you have a phone with buttons on top, you can move those feet up or down, you don't have to hold them in the corners. So if your button doesn't span the full width of the phone, it's hard to imagine this not working for you. The only problem I've had so far is that on bumpy roads the bracket itself starts to sag. It's a quick, one-touch solution. The lasso itself can get in the way of your keys if you have the balance to flick through songs while driving, and while I use it just in case, my phone doesn't fall out even when it's off. I am very satisfied with the price and the quality of what I received. In the end, that's really all that matters to me.

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