I found this today and thought I'd share it with you incase you hadn't seen it.

Look for item SM427.

Any thoughts? Anyone already own/used this?

I'm going to upgrade to the Droid X in a month and I've been looking for a handlebar mount for it.

 

I worry enough about it falling out of my pocket.

 

Yeah I worry about that too. I would definitely want to test it before hitting the road.

 

If your going to get something like that don't get anything that is Spring loaded as a bump can cause it to open up.

I'm getting one of these as I already use one that is suction cup in my Jeep with no problems. This holds the Phone and is molded for my Phone just think it's a better solution as I have used many as I normally Upgrade every year and have tried many different types

My concern would be the effect of vibration and shock on the function/reliability of the phone. Some of the low cost GPS units work fine but they have a little more shock isolation circuitry built-in than the DroidX.

 

Pants pocket works real well for me.

Saddlebag works better (can't interrupt a perfectly good ride).

 

I keep my phone in my tool bag..... I don't need the distraction.

 

Ram mounts. The side tabs lock.

I've used them for years on different equipment. Never failed me.

Why in the hell would anyone want their damn cell phone on the handlebars?


just askin....

Well my Cell is not just a Cell. I can stream Pandora (music) , I can use several Navigation apps, I can even use it like the SpeedO and record Speed mileage and other factors . I can Live stream to record Video of my ride ( use this when doing Group functions) . I can even do Voice Text if I wanted but no real need for that or using it as a cell.

But really it keeps me from carrying multiple devises with me.
