I got a x-RAM mount (like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-...item238c369e2d) for my Google Pixel XL for $15, and it works great! I even recorded some video with it on the handlebars, and it was not as "jumpy" or vibrating as much as I might expect it to be. Everyone who has seen the videos think it was taken with a GoPro. The phone holder I got also has a built in USB charging port, too, so I can keep the phone charged while I'm riding, listening to music, taking videos or pictures, etc. It has the X points to hold the phone with tapered rubber pieced to hold it solid, but it also has the rubber straps, as well, to make SURE it is NOT going to "fall off". It also bolts up under the mirror mount, so no chance of the bolt coming loose and just falling off with it. I'm very happy and secure in my phone not going anywhere with my holder.

lol, I’m kinda my own boss..... well at least when my wife lets me 😂
Using the bike during the day really doesn’t effect my job. If I need to meet a client I’ll always call first and let them know that I will be showing up on my bike. I would never just show up on the bike without calling ahead (they always get a kick out of it when I do) if I have a lot of calls to make I’ll just use my truck or call from the office. Sometimes I’ll pull the bike over in a nice spot, maybe by the water or by the farm land out east depending where I am and make a call or 2. I love my job those days!!!
This was my office for about a half hour this day.

I looked at the RAM Mounts, Quadlock and Rockform. After reading about all the RAM Mount thefts I quickly put that one off the list. It was a tough choice between the Quadlock and Rockform. In the end I went with the Rockform as the mount on the handlebars seemed bo better construction and the universal mount stuck on the back of my Otterbox Case was secure. In fact broke a trim took trying to remove it off my old case. Just bought a new adapter. The 3M adhesive is no joke. I have cruised at 70 mph for 20 miles and it never even budged. I am a fan.

I would not trust that chicom knockoff mount and I have low end old man poverty android phone.

I use a RAM X mount for my phone on the bikes. I also have various RAM mounts for truck, ATV, and workstations. Never had a failure.

I notice the Rokform cases use a magnet and the mounts are made of aluminum. How does the magnet stick to the aluminum when you twist lock it in?
