Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this on Amazon earlier this year.I use it to hold my 3GS on my road bike.It's worked great for 500+ miles over roads with the occasional major bump.I've had no problems at all - not with the iPhone detaching, not with mounting it to the bike - it's working perfectly. A few seconds ago I ordered a second one of these for my other bike.
A few notes, to put this into context for others:
There is a little clip on the top that is the mechanism that fully secures your iPhone into the holster.If you don't push your iPhone firmly when you insert it in the holster, it's sometimes possible for that clip to catch partially on the SIM card slot on the top of the iPhone.If you're not paying attention, you may think it's clipped in correctly, but it's not.This happened to me once... once I realized this, I just give the phone an extra press when I clip it in, and it's fine.This isn't a serious issue, just something to be aware of.
I've had no problems at all with the iPhone coming unclipped.I've ridden through nasty potholes, over tree roots, and manhole lid covers that have flatted my tires, but my phone hasn't budged.
I've found that it's possible to use Google Maps, iMapMyRide and other GPS/workout apps, texting, and the iPod with the phone on the handlebars.I've been on concalls using headphones.It works fine, as long as you can overcome the wind noise in the microphone.Obviously, don't do any of this stuff in traffic...but if it's safe for you to do, the mount works fine to enable the iPhone to be used this way.
