Default harley iphone magnet take mount

I have wanted to use this on my bike to listen to pandora off my droid phone. Haven't bought one yet because of the fear of scratching the paint on the tank with the back of the pouch. Anyone have any experience with it? I used to use a windshield bag but got rid of it when I painted the inner fairing.

I use the magnetic tank pouch quite regularly. I like it a lot. Mine has never moved or scratched anything and it sure is handy.

I would feel safer with mine in my pocket or in the case.

Well, I tried it with my IPod touch back in the summer. The only problem I have is the screen protector stuck onto the inside of the pouch under the sun, made a mess.

I have one and the problem is that the tank gets really hot in the summer and the phone over heats and shuts down. The RAM mount for the same money is a better option in my opinion.

Mine did leave a little marring on the tank. Don't use it any more.

I have the pouch, that I used for my iPhone and/or ipod on my NT.
Used it almost every time I rode...never scratched the paint or moved at all, no matter the speed or fast weight transfers around corners.

I was leary about it at first, but it proved itself well.
