RAM Mount X-Grip--Be Careful

[4bobo]

I purchase the RAM Mount X-Grip IV for my iPhone 6 Plus.

It held my phone until the first bump in the road and the phone flew out.

I was only going 20 so I was able to catch it and hold it until I could safely stop.

Open to mounting suggestions.

Thanks!

I had one, it dropped my droid on the first trip 2 minutes into the ride.....my phone was destroyed. My friend has one on his Wing and has used it for 2 years trouble free. .I don't get it? I bought the one that worked with my phone model and did everything as instructed...not sure why it didn't work for me.

A friend of mine got the new iPhone 6 so he gave me his 5 cover and mount from http://www.quadlockcase.com/index/

I really like the system but haven't found a good spot to mount it on the F6B. I put the bike mount on my Harley because of the round bars. The bike mount is spring loaded so it holds on tight. I got some stick on mounts but haven't decided where to put one on the F6B.

Another system is http://www.rokform.com/

Another friend uses this one on his mountain bike and likes it.

I use the x grip with otter box defender case for my s4. Never been a problem.

Me too no issues for years !!! See...if maybe there is some type of coating on the rubber "holders"...clean with alcohol and test?????

I bought one at Americade this year for my droid maxx, yup, first bump shook it loose, put phone in otterbox defender case thinking rubber feet on rubber case would = better grip, nope , first bump slips out. I can hold mount w/ phone in my hand and swing it around and it holds, but a bump on bike makes it fail.

Nice rig!

The one I had failed too. The grip simply does not have enough tension to hold the devices in place.

I use the X grip on my Samsung S3 with no problems. The phone is in an OtterBox case if that makes any difference.

At the Expo today I met w/ Dan Kim who advised that the phone holder should not have failed unless, someone used the BIG one to hold a small phone... Feel free to PX or EML...
