Cell phone holders?

[minichopper]

Is there any cellphone holders that attach to handlebar that you would recommend?

[f2dz]

I've heard these are good. Seen a couple videos where guys crash/lowside at approx 50kph and the phone still stays in.

No idea where you get them in NZ though.

Did they crash because they were looking at their goddam phone?

I have a ram mount, its great.

I use it with an android phone which I have a digital speedo on. It goes red between the speed limit (any of) and 4kmh over. If I am, say, riding at night on the motorway (happens a lot), I just try and keep it in the "red" and I know I am mostly ok.
I can also have GPS running if I need it. I also have a USB charger so most of the time my phone is just in there charging in case I need it for more important stuff like taking pics, or calling the mrs to tell her the ride is going to take 6 hours longer than normal because we got too carried away.

It's no different from a GPS holder.

My day tank bag has a top pouch for one that clear.
Cant be used while riding but you see that it gone off.

I must admit I've done it once, used NAVfree to find a Tme address after a purchase.
I discovered my Iphone fits quite snugly between the bar risers, under the bars and sits on/above the Steering head bolt.
I also know the txt that came in that showed as a header on the screen, I couldn't help tryin to read.
It was a safe trip well on control but never done it again. If I'm lost I stop, get my phone out my pocket every few K's.

I think it a bit Hypocritical the have a big bitch about car drivers on cell phones if we mount the fuckers on our handlebars??

Sorry I may be old school but when I ride, I ride, no distractions, no ear plugs, no MP3, No cell phone, No blue tooth.
Listen to the throb of the twin, the wind, Traffic, Peripheral vision activated, eyes on the road, hopefully small brain engaged.
My bikes my happy place, alone time or shared with my precious cargo behind me = Cellphone in pocket

I'm not one to preach on here or have a crusade, not bagging anyone for doing different, its their choice, their safety.
My opinion only, take it or leave it

The only thing I ever have available to play with while riding is my heated grips but I don't buy the argument that any possible distraction is necessarily a distraction. If it were you'd have to carry children in a closed, separate compartment.

People who drive badly while using their phone do so because they're bad drivers. They'd find something else to fuck with if they didn't have a phone to hand. Or just daydream.

need to make sure you have the right size for your phone and when choosing take charger/phone cable to make sure you can plug in and charge whilst on the move.

IE the cable is plugged in to charge while in the holder.

if you plan to get a bigger phone get one you can try as per above.

yeah they are great. I got an Aquabox its quite good but i had to do a mod to the box to attach the cable for the S4mini

other than that the Aquabox has a touch capable screen (dont think it works with apple phones - different sensing tech)

And the screen is replaceable-need to replace mine after the experiment...... which worked. LOL

Used the phone for navigation, directions etc. I don't have Helmet Bluetooth and not familiar with country roads, so phone not much good for spoken communication

Found the phone lasted 4 hours on the run. I was lost.
Yeah riding byself in the middle of nowhere has its moments, but i made it out of Wanganui where the horses have odometers apparently.

Check out the website. The guy is friendly

I have an i4 case I have been meaning to pay forward. I tried it but didn't like it. I prefer to put phone in pocket and BT to helmet for GPS.

I had no end of trouble with the 'touch capable' cover and my Sony phone too, might be the same issue.

I ended up ditching it altogether and making an aluminium insert with a cutout that I could stick an ordinary flat piece of flexible plastic to, which solved the problem.

The stock cover I got was wavy, ie it didn't sit flat on the surface of the phone which seemed to confuse it, as I had to press harder in places to push the membrane flat enough to make contact - especially tricky when swiping.

YMMV.
