Where has everyone mounted their cell phones on their bikes? I just bought a ram mount and before I "install" it I was wondering where everyone has theirs!!!

I have a "tank" bag that has a clear waterproof window..but I usually dont bother looking at my phone. I do use it for navigation, but have a bluetooth headset for the turn-by-turn directions. I also have a USB adapter for my Battery Tender pigtail. If using my phones GPS, I just run a cord from the USB adapter to the phone so I have battery left when I get where I'm going.

Yeah I have done the tank bag thing a few times and i'll still use my chatterbox to hear directions and tunes.

I have done both the tankbag thing and now I have the RAM X-Grip cradle for my phone.

One thing I would suggest NOT getting is the RAM Aqua box.

I got one and found the clear plastic started to come away from the rubber part not long after getting it. I'd only put the phone in once and left it in there as it was an old phone that I was just using as a GPS. Unfortunately I had cut a small hole in the rubber part so I could charge the phone while it was in the holder so I couldn't return it. I ended up gluing the bit that had come away but found after every ride another part had separated. Was not impressed with the construction.

RAM X-Grip on a Providence Basic USB Charger to get it center mounted. I also have a Providence Handlebar Mount on the throttle side and a RAM clutch reservoir mount on the right, in case I want to move it around to one side or the other, or mount something else.

I hooked up mine Friday for a Honor flight escort on Saturday morning and the RAM mount X grip really does a good job!!!!
