Phone mount
#11
With no previous experience I bought the Ram X mount cause I saw a lot of them. Works good. Versatile enough to mount dang near any way you want any where. And I really like how easy it is to pull the phone out of the mount when I'm going in a store or restaurant and don't want to leave the phone on the bike.

I have the RAM mount as well as a ROKFORM. The ROKFORM just seems more convenient for getting the phone in and out of the mount. It also seems to be just a tad more secure. The tether that comes with the RAM positions the phone so that the claw lays against the power button of my Galaxy S8 plus.

I went with the HD phone holder. Around $70 for both pieces and it works great. The downside is that you have only one mounting option. Mounts that use a bar clamp can be positioned where it works best for you.

Yeah, I'm with you most all the way on this subject. Now, I do have my phone mount on the bars where I can see my phone while riding but about the last thing I would try to do is to catch an incoming call or text or make one. But having the phone in sight lets me see if I get a call or text--which I may respond to later whenever I stop somewhere. And maybe while sitting at a light I can push a button and check the temp/weather. And if I get in a jammed up interstate backup and am stopped I can check the live traffic data on the phone without having to dig it out of wherever I put it. I usually don't have a really suitable and empty pocket to put my phone in and if I put the dang thing in a saddlebag or pouch I won't remember to check it when I stop.
