Very bulky, one screw lost.

Bought the case after reading positive reviews. This product is very well made. Processing, seams, zippers, everything in order. The only downside is that it's very bulky and protrudes about an inch and a half out of the handlebar adapter through the ball joint. It doesn't fit my drop handlebars on my Jamis Ventura. If you want to use this on a motorcycle with handlebars, that's fine. Forget it when you ride a triple sport bike. May also be suitable for mountain bikes or hybrids with widerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • boring packaging

Works well but the material is not very strong

I've been using the Arkon handlebar mount for five months now and am very happy with it. Other positive reviews state exactly what is good about the product so I won't go into detail other than to say I agree that this product is effective in keeping and protecting my device (iPhone 4) in (light to moderate weather). a very comfortable position so that I can view and control it. Unfortunately today the plastic around the brass screw broke and I'm not sure if that will stop me from continuing to

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Useful but not exactly inconspicuous

I've used this with my Nexus S and HTC One. It fits both phones, but the HTC One is almost too big so the case "puckers" to fit the phone. This is one of the pluses of a soft case that also comes with an insert. So if you have a thin phone, the insert will take up space in the case and prevent your phone from bouncing around when you travel. I have not used the dhti in the rain although the zip appears to be waterproof. I gave this 3 stars because the product works but is a bit irritating toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Expensive

Great for the price but there are flaws

I ordered this item because I am going on a long journey with my motorcycle and I needed a way to go through a long and difficult route. I put it on my bike yesterday and have mostly positive thoughts about the product. Firstly the mount is very secure and strong, it won't move if you screw it in tight enough and I don't see it coming loose anytime soon. It includes a pair of rubber pads/wraps to dampen vibration and likely allow for a smaller handlebar mount. It took some time to install, butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Annoying

Works with iPod touch and GPS/Battery Dual Stand

I was looking for the best way to carry my iPod with the DUAL XGPS251 Portable Docking Station with GPS and Battery for iPod touch. Jumping into a pannier didn't work, so I took a chance on the Arkon handlebar mount. I saw some reviews that were concerned about the sizing and fit. Other reviewers have pointed out that the Arkon handles the largest droids no larger than a dual cradle, and in fact the Arkon case can easily fit an iPod into the stand. It holds and is secure and can be operatedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Negative Impression
