Solid performance and great price
Overall, I'd say this is a great product that is cheaper than the competition I have seen. While I can't compare its performance to others, as I'm no bike phone mount collector, I can say this one does its job well, holding the phone securely while you ride.The product comes in a small box disassembled, but assembly is straightforward with instructions on the side and in the box. Get the clamp, put the silicone holder of your choice behind it, attach to base, and screw the two halves of the base together around your handlebar. Place your phone in the clamp and the silicone band around the corners, and you're ready to ride.I can't speak to the durability of the product since I've only taken it for a few rides, but my main concern would be the silicone band. However, since the product comes with three, I consider this more or less a non-issue.When riding, my phone stays in place. I have not been mountain bike riding with it or anything, but while riding around on the road or sidewalk in the city, dropping off curbs, and even walking the bike down stairs, my phone has stayed in the mount. My only issue with it is during those rougher terrain activities, the clamp or the base may shift. The clamp is on a ball joint, so this movement is a design feature, but it turns out to be somewhat of a double-edged sword. Shifting it back is simple, and the base movement around the handlebar may be due to my own hesitancy to tighten it too much. The ball joint is certainly not user error, though, and while not a big issue and is easily corrected once you get to smoother terrain, it is why I've given a 4/5 in stability. (Consider it a 4.5 or so, though.)One personal issue I've had is with my phone and the mount. I have the Google Pixel 2, a phone that has volume and a power button on the sides along with a squeeze-to-activate Google Assistant. As the clamp of the mount squeezes the phone securely, sometimes my volume or Google Assistant buttons can be activated. The Google Assistant is easily deactivated, but it can be slightly bothersome as you put the phone in the mount and different buttons are pressed. This is likely a tiny issue with the Pixel brand and this mount, but it only occurs as the phone is placed in the clamp or when it is slid within the clamp (which, thanks to the grips, can only happen with human intervention).I have also contacted with the company in response to a voucher which came in my product box, and I found it to be a pleasant interaction with quick responses.Overall, the bike mount is a great product that seems flexible enough to work with most or all phones and does its job well. Though I am not without my concerns and the bike mount does have some minor issues, the price, flexibility, and overall performance make it well worth the purchase, in my opinion.

Holds phone well
Mounted an LG V35 phone onto a 30 year old Trek 930 mountain bike with the Mongoora bracket, mounting process was easy. On a 30 mile road ride with occasional pot holes and dirt the mount was rock solid. The phone can taken out of the mount from spring loaded side clamps and silicone corner grips are provided. The phone probably would have been fine for the on-road ride with just the side clamps but I used the corner grips in case I hit major rough roads.The mount is on a ball socket so the phone can positioned at any angle. There's an O-ring that seats the ball in the socket and can fall out prior to putting the socket together, so be sure the O-ring is in place when it's assembled and didn't fall. The tighter the socket nut is the more stable the phone will be. Living in AZ I suspect the O-ring will dry out and fail first (everything dries out in AZ), however that will be a year from now. At that time I will likely replace the O-ring with one that is about 0.010 inch thicker and use viton instead of buna for the harsh AZ environment. The ball is held securely with the O-ring provided when tightened, but I would have designed it with one that is slightly larger, just an engineers preference. The manufacturer may have hedged on the smaller size to prevent Hercules from shattering the nut if it was over tightened.Assembly takes about 30 seconds. A set of three silicone corner grips are provided, these could probably be doubled up if needed, one worked fine for me. There's also an extra long mount screw for large OD bars, so there's plenty of adjust-ability. Bottom line is it works as designed and is cost effective.

Works better than I thought it would and 3 month review
I deliver for Doordash on my bicycle sometimes for side work so decided I should get a phone holder for my bike. This one got the best reviews and seemed OK. I received it and tried it out and it was actually super easy to use and very secure. I went over quite a few potholes on accident and over a couple of curbs and my phone didn't budge once. The only gripe I have is that with my case on, it does not fit in the holder, but not a huge deal. I have a Droid Maxx 2 and without the case, it fits great! Lots of adjustments. Of course I have only used it a few times so far in fair weather so no long term opinions yet. Seems durable enough. I say for the price, give it a go!3 month review:Still going strong. I use it maybe only 8 hours per week on fairly rough terrain. The first silicone phone holder webbing is still fully in tact and I have never thought my phone was going to dislodge from the holder yet. The swivel got loose one day a little more than I like, but then it went back to normal so I am not sure what that was about. Anyways, still recommend it! Still only 4 stars though since I would feel much better if it could hold my phone while it is in its protective case.
