Broken Phone and Damaged Bike
Customer Rating

I too bought this specifically for use on my bike and the part that attaches to the mount will not stay on. I am now the proud owner of a phone with shattered glass! Not happy at ALL!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My husband got this for me so that I could use it in my car and out on my daily bike rides, main selling point. I installed this according to the directions and triple checked it before my ride. To my horror ten minutes into my ride, the base fell off my handle bars crashing into the street. I quickly picked everything up and noticed that I had a 3 inch crack in the glass of my iPhone. It wasn't until after this happened to me that I discovered that another had the same problems with the bike mount. Looks like not only do I have to return this defective product but also fix the damage it has done to my phone as well. This is not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It has both the car and bike mount. Strong suction cup.
What's not so great: The rubber grip doesn't work that well for certain phones.
I like that it has both bike and car mount in the same box. The goose neck mount is really stiff and strong. The suction cup is really strong too. So, it should stick really well to the windshield. Unfortunately, I can't say really good stuff about the rubber grip. It's just weird. It doesn't have a great grip on the phone, even if you pressed it real hard. Therefore, I'm not surprised that some of the reviewers here felt that the phone might just bumped out of the cradle. I felt that way too. That said, after playing with the grip for a while, I realized that if you placed the phone horizontally, instead of vertically as shown in the picture, you get an extremely good grip. It works for my iPhone. I turned the mount upside down, flipped it to the side, and yet the phone stays firmly in the cradle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: grip, ability to use in car and on bike
What's not so great: nothing
Not sure why this has a low rating. It works great for me. Also it's one of the few mounts that will hold onto a Samsung Note smartphone.
I ride as well as driving. I love being able to take this one on both. I was quite nervous the first time I used it on my bike, but it held onto the phone even at freeway speeds. Your mileage may vary, but I haven't had issues with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: fast and easy to mount
What's not so great: clamping takes a second to secure phone
Im not sure what everone is expecting from this device. Its $20 and a simple design. I wanted one to clamp to my bike so I could track my route and mileage(and of course listen to music). It only took a minute to attach to bike handles. I found it easier to lock side clamps down in correct position and then slide my phone into rubber sides. Phone was secure, it was easy to position phone to where I could see it best.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Strong suction to car window
What's not so great: Getting it to close on my phone
It fits my car really well. I have it stuck to the windshield on the far left corner. It does not interfere with my view of the road. The down fall is that it is hard to get it to grip my phone. It needs a ratchet type button to help clamp down on the phone. You have to squeeze it with your hands to get it to grip the phone. If my hands are tired or if someone without a good grip tries to get it to work, it might not. The release button is tough to get to if you have it attached to your windshield. The release button ratchets it open. I don't understand why they don't have a button to ratchet it closed. The grippers that hold the phone are well padded. The suction cup to the windshield is very strong. I have not used the bike attachment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Does not hold phone phone securely
I used this on my bike, not my car. In less than 2 miles the phone fell off the mount three times. The first time I felt it might be because I did not have it attached properly. Not the case. The way the unit is designed it will not remain secured to the clamp during even the smallest agitation.
I am disappointed that Best Buy sells this device. It is garbage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good price, holds to the windshield well, gooseneck is just right length
What's not so great: Build quality feels fragile, ratcheting action of the grips is annoying, rubber grips not designed well
The concept for this holder is nice. I like the length of the gooseneck, it is just right in my opinion. The suction cup seems to grip very tight. The one thing that I dislike is that the rubber on the grips was not properly designed. It almost wants to push my iPhone 4S in an Otterbox Defender case out of the holder. It would seem to me that the raised portion of the rubber should be towards the front of the grips, not towards the back. The other thing is the ratcheting action of the grips. It takes quite a bit of effort to adjust them because of how that was designed as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
