TeamObsidian Premium Bike PHONE HOLDER [SIZE M] Made of Durable Non-Slip Silicone. Bike Phone Mount/Universal Cradle for 99% of Smartphones and All Bicycle Handlebars. Secure and Flexible - Silico'

Holds well but a bit difficult to get phone in

I was looking for a phone holder to go on a road bike to replace a chunky zipped case. I thought I would try one of these new silicone holders as they seem small but apparently work. I actually needed two so I purchased two that looked the same from two different manufacturers, When they arrived they were identical but different packaging and different claims by the manufacturer. The more expensive one claimed to be guaranteed for five years whereas the cheaper on in the cheaper looking packaging made no claims. The products are identical you can even see the molding marks are in the same places on both!. I won't say which review this one is as the reviews for both will be identical and anyway it is the product that I am reviewing. Besides all that we have tried the cases with iPhone 5se and Galaxy J6 if that gives an indication of size and we have used them on road bikes on 30 to 40-mile rides with no movement and actually as more of the screen is accessible it is better for using navigation software. I actually trust these holders but not sure what I am going to do come the wetter weather as neither of my phones is waterproof, I guess cling film or another case for the winter!. They are very quick to take on and off so sharing with another user if your an infrequent rider is a great bonus. I have had the cases a few months now and no signs of deterioration.

This product works, but whether it works well may well depend on your style of phone. Mine is a rather "lumpy" CAT S41 phone and the silicone strap frame is a tight fit. My phone is quite thick with the four sloping corners so the silicone straps have to be carefully adjusted to maximise the visible area of the screen, but not slipping off the corners. One issue with my phone is the on/off switch is quite close to the top right corner and the silicone frame slightly covers this. At the base of the screen face are 3 switches and these are half covered by the silicone straps. In the horizontal position on my bicycle handlebar stem the phone switches can be operated but clumsily. Overall, not a bad buy, but the shape of my phone is not the best for this device. One of those things you would rather see in store before you buy.

I bought this after trying a Lezyne top bar mounted phone case, which used velcro loops to attach- the zip failed, I used it a bit more but got annoyed with it flopping about so bought this phone holder in combination with the Temdan waterproof iPhone SE case.Why I didn't get this before I don't know?!! I've been using this for a couple of weeks for London Deliveroo work and it's holding up well on my old steel touring bike, which has 25.4mm bars. Phone hasn't fallen out (as long as grips are properly positioned around edges of phone) and it stays put on the bars, mainly because the bottom phone edge rests on top of stem, which stops it from rotating. I take my phone in and out a lot whilst delivery and there doesn't seem to be any wear/rips/tears evident on the silicone grips. So all in all, a decent holder!

Great item for the price. Relatively sturdy on the handlebar & I was stress-free that my phone would remove itself at every bump.Used off-road across dirt tracks and the phone mount remains solid. The only downside I found was having to remove the phone protective case to fit the mound securely, also the silicone secures around some of the areas I was trying to use (this was used with an iPhone 6). Otherwise a good addition to the bike rather than stowing the phone in a sweaty back pocket!

I originally ordered an aluminium holder which looked to me to be the most sturdy for my use but the clamping mobile retaining screw clamp unscrewed and was lost, making the holder useless. I then ordered the TeamObsidian unit simply because it had no moving parts. Its has performed well sofar and was very easy to install. Would I buy again, well yes.

I have had this product for over a year and a half, and it has not let me (or my phone) down at all.It provides a secure and stable mount for your phone, though it does jiggle, very slightly, when riding over bumpy terrain. However, this is good, I would think, as it is like a shock absorber, protecting your phone from harsh jolts.I have never felt that my expensive phone was ever in any danger of dropping out or of the silicone snapping.An easy to use, well designed, excellent product.

I used to use a quad lock mount, which was expensive but brilliant. It got damaged so I bought this item. I bought the medium for my iPhone XS Max. Easy to fit, a struggle at first to get my phone into it, but that’s what I needed, a tight fit. I use my bike on road & tracks. This item is so good for an inexpensive mount. Its sturdy, my phone is secure & there’s enough play so it’s not too rigid in the mount. Really pleased, cracking item.
