Cons:
- The holder is a bit bulky.
- Sometimes the bumpy and patchy rides can cause the holder’s screws to loosen up. Before starting the ride, be sure the screws are tight enough and the mount doesn’t end up falling off while you are riding your bike.
- There are incidents reported by the users that their phones fell off down the road after a bump or two and ending up to smashing their phones. To avoid this problem the bungee strap is a big plus and handy to have the phone locked in place.
Precaution
- Always make sure that the elastic strap is wrapped around your phone even if you feel that the holder has a very strong grip. You never know, one bump and your phone can go away flying miles away.
- Make sure the holder is tight enough to hold up and the screws have not loosened up due to constant use. This is a very common thing that can happen with any product of such kind due to the vibrations occurring during the rides.
- Do not over tighten the screws otherwise you could end up going through the claiming process instead of enjoying the product.
