What Fire34 said!
I'm very worried about it keeping the phone secure.
It's looking like spyder cuff from lamonster is the best one, but i notice it doesn't come with the tether? Does anyone have this setup? Is the phone secure? I mean I don't want to drop an $1100 cellphone on the road.
We have the Spyder cuff with x-grip. Like it. The standard x-grip tether may have been in the box, but if it was, I threw it away because I had no idea what it was at the time. Found that you can buy the tether separately and did that.

Use the drink holder all the time, too. Just get a nice drink bottle that fits. Some are too big.
If your cell phone holder has to have a tether with it, what good is the holder?
Never could quite trust the X-Mount on the bikes, even with the rubber band kind of teather. I got one as a gift, and it works well in the car & truck. For the bike I like the extra security of the RAM Quick Grip With the clamps and 'fingers' that hold the phone on all sides. Never a problem for 4 years and thousands of miles.
FINFAN3DPI am guessing for added protection to save an $1100 phone from bouncing off the asphalt?
Seriously though, find some one who has a Techmount and compare it to x-grip and you'll realize the big difference. I have over 30k miles and many pot holes, speed bumps, railroad tracks and so on, and my phone has never moved from my Techmount's grip. It is certainly worth the extra $$$ if you're putting a $1100 phone in it.
I just looked at Dave's Trackform phone holder. Works on the same principal as the Techmount. It appears to have a spring loaded grip from the left side. The Techmount has a spring loaded grip from both sides. That appears to be the only difference.
The tackform from Dave also has a rubber sling that attaches to ball and phone.
I could never quiet come to trust a mount on the bikes that didn't securely hold the phone or GPS on all 4 sides. The Quick Grip is one of the only ones I have seen that do that, are adjustable for different size phones and don't need a backup teather. Plus I have had good luck with RAM Mounts and their great customer service - had the Ram balls on the HD for 10 years, the rubber got hard and Ram replaced them free with no questions asked.

with the Lamonster cuff
I have found that the best place for my cell phone is in my zipped coat pocket. But that's just me as I don't like distractions while I'm riding.
I got mine from providence and I'm very happy with it, never an issue

I'll echo 2dogs' endorsement of the Techmount -- I spent a lot of time researching the options, and am glad I went with the Techmount. Steady as a rock.
