Great, minimalistic stem mount!

While they also sell other bicycle-specific mounts, I ended up getting this one to use as a mount on the stem, and I really like it for that. I like having my phone over the stem of my bicycle versus out front for a more minimalistic and cleaner look. I also like the ease with which I can remove it when not using my phone for navigation and throw it in my bag.
I'm using the universal bar mount on a wheelchair. Two years of near constant daily use and it's still going strong. The chair has non-round tubing so this was an ideal solution that is minimalistic and low profile. The mechanism is secure yet easy to quickly remove the phone from the mount. Unlike competitors that require the phone to be rotated to attach, the satisfying and instantaneous magnetic click is almost magical and hassle-free. I highly recommend.
Over the last month I’ve been using this bar mount to mount my iPhone with the everyday case on my bike. The mount fits the bar of the bike well and the phone sits firmly on the mount even on bumpy county roads. The case attaches and detaches just as easily as in the marketing videos!
Easy to use and works exactly like it says. I have the universal phone case adapter on my phone to use with this on my bicycle and my phone feels so safe and secure. Easy to install and remove, and I have no concerns while riding around my bumpy, hilly city.
I've been using this mount for well over a year now. To qualify this, I've owned probably a dozen other mounts for various things, gopro's, phones, GPS. Peak design is by far the best mount I've ever used. I have the bar mount on my electric trail bike. I use the bike for scouting in the mtns and fly fishing the small lakes. Before anyone starts going off, I'm handicapped and it's the only way I can get out. I primarily use it for the mapping features and programs on my phone and tablet. Does it jiggle when riding on the trail? Yes, no way around that but, no one should be trying to read the map while riding. Stop, read the map and continue. Does it slip on the bar, no, never. The mount has not moved since I put it on the bars over a year ago. I have a big phone and it also holds my tablet when I use that. I've never had it slip even the smallest amount and I've never had a prerelease of any device. It's simply the best you can get.
