Solid Phone Mount

I wanted a solid, sturdy phone mount that could handle the usage that I was looking for and this is it. It solidly secures to any of the places that I've tried to attach it too. Works great on the treadmill, bike, and rowing machine; which are my primary use cases.
I purchased this to use on my bike - and it did not disappoint. I like that the strap is adjustable so that I can be moved between my bike and if I were to travel, I could bring it for whatever bike I rent! It is flexible enough that it fits around my front stem. I rode with my phone attached over the weekend and it didn't come loose! I kept checking in because I was worried (it's a new phone), but it was very secure. I also found it easy (after some practice) removing the phone from the holder. The swiveling functionality is also great because I can have my phone forward/portrait or landscape depending on what is needed.
We bought this a month ago for travel and use for both our electric scooters and bicycle. It's great for travel because you can pop it into any 2 wheeled rental and have a much more secure mount. This provides a new level of freedom when visiting a city since we don't trust ride shares built in mounts... If they even have a working one...
Mount is really strong, doesn't budge over harsh pavement, and ability to rotate is awesome.
It is also really small compared to other phone mounts I've tried and is aesthetically nice on my bike that I don't feel the need to take it off while taking photos of my bike.
I got this to go along with the case I bought for my new phone thinking I'd use it on my e-bike, but I ended up going mountain biking sooner and needed a phone holder. I ended up temporarily attaching the mount to my handle bars hoping it was secure enough to stay on, but I expected that it would shift with hard jarring on the rougher trails. It did not, so now I think I will leave the mount on the mountain bike more permanently and perhaps get another mount for the e-bike.
