Almost perfect

Ok so I love the mounting system’s quick on/off feature, it’s aluminum build, and the case is thin/ flat. Now for why it’s 3 stars for me. One thing I’d like added/ built into future phone cases is a strong magnet in each corner so it can be stuck to a fridge or motorcycle tank etc. I added three to the outside my case so I know they don’t affect the phones functions ie compass, MagSafe charging, or the camera, or any other part of the phone. The magnets that already are built into the case are too weak to support the weight of the phone but that’s not their purpose so I accept that but would love to have my idea implemented in future cases. The bigger reason for my two star deduction is that after less than a weak of riding to and from work my rear camera image stabilizer is beginning to fail so basically the dampener needs to be improved upon. When I had my phone mounted with my quadlock with their dampener I had no issues with the image stabilizer failing. The only changed variable was switching over to peak design and I’ll still be using it because it’s so sleek/ functional and my image stabilizer is now already compromised. Once I get it fixed or upgrade my phone I don’t know if I’ll continue to use it though because I don’t want it to happen again especially when I know my old QL with dampener does protect the image stabilizer. If peak design ads the magnets and makes their dampener more full proof then it will be hands down the best on the market. However for me QL has them beat where it really counts for motorcycle mounts which is their dampener and it protecting the phones image stabilizer. Everything else peak design blows them and others out of the water. This has been my experience and I’ve had a lot of failed image stabilizers from using other motorcycle mounts so this isn’t a fluke or my first rodeo. I hope no one else experiences this but I did and feel I should let others know.

We are glad that were able to discuss this issue with you directly via email and get things sorted for you here. As mentioned in our exchange, we fully stand behind our vibration protection functionality and consider it to be hands-down the safest phone mounting system on the market. To-date, your failure remains one of the very few instances of this we’ve ever seen with our mounts. We’re confident that you’ll be able to ride without worry from here on out. Thanks again for your support!
This would be the absolute best mat on the market if they added the wireless charging option to it. The one for my car is fantastic and would be even better for my bike.
Super stoked with this product. Installed it for use on a 10 day motorcycle trip on mixed surfaces across Southern Interior BC and it worked exactly as advertised, and looks far better than anything else on the market. I was initially hesitant to believe it would perform on rough dirt roads, but it took them in stride. Will be recommending this to anyone.
Super secure hold on the phoen and the vibration dampening is just perfect. I've tried mounting to the arm and straight to the cuff and both experiences were excellent.
.. I think I need to get another motorcycle so I can but another mount, right?
No complaints about the bar mount. I would recommend this also to people who ride a bicycle since it has a vibration dampener and I don't think the bike mount has that!
I was one of the people that supported this. It’s a great piece of kit. By far the best phone mounting system. I’m at se this on my bicycle that I ride rain, hail, or shine. The only missing thing is a built in MagSafe charger. Having to plug in a device using a cable that is exposed to the weather is a terrible idea. This mount could have a waterproof magnetic charging solution, which would make a r the ultimate cycling/ motorbike mount.
I'm using the Motorcycle Bar Mount since 2 months now and the product is perfect for me and my Honda nc700x. It's solid, minimalist and so easy to use !!
