Phone Mounts

Postby gbossley » Fri Jul 19, 2013 12:11 pm

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum. Nothing like kicking off with a new post - I hope I'm not creating a copy.

I have a Motorola Defy+ phone, and would like to mount it so I can utilise (most likely MyTracks, simple to use, with the info and features I want) an app to track speed, etc.

Can anyone recommend either a phone-specific or a generic mount - reasonably streamlined?

Either to mount the phone on the handlebars or on the top tube.

And this last one, I have a few of and have used on road rides successfully if the past, with an iPhone in a protective case. It's just a silicon strap with a loop at each end & a couple of knobs in the middle which stop it moving too muck on the bar:

I stuck a Quad Lock universal mount on the back of my Xperia Active, and the stem mount is great! you do end up with a square plastic bit on the back of your phone...

Dadrock thanks. I'm warming to the Quadlock concept, especially if I can mount the phone into a case that in turn is glued to the Quadlock.

So, next question - can anyone advise a case that is SLIM that I can mount the phone into that will hang on to the phone over rough (ish) terrain?
