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.
This is a wonderful idea and appealed to me to put onto rental city bikes when I travel so I could look at maps on my phone, or even on my mountain bike to follow trail maps. It works well except my mountain bike has a curved handlebar which is thicker near the stem and slimmer towards the brake levers. So with the weight of my phone in its Peak case and the bumpiness of the trails, the phone slides towards the bar ends and spins around the handlebar.
I bought this and the everyday iPhone case for a bike trip I took recently and it was perfect. Super secure and so much easier to use than my old iPhone mount.
