    My dealer sells the techmount but I would like the phone grabbed by all sides like the power grip sold at: https://www.providence-spyder-access...s/show/7275005
    I also want to power it. Lamonster power port looks good but I'm not sold on the xgrip. Just my 2 cents as I am in the market for mounting iPhone 6s Plus between handle bars and powering it. Then I'll still have to put an SAE connector I think to under the seat so I can power my heated clothing that has a coax coming out at the waist. I don't see running a cord up to the lamonster power ports on the steering wheel. So one port under the phone for power is enough.

    Just found this ram mount https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-AP19U that holds on 3 sides with a clip on top.
    It seems like it allows for a better flat surface and less obstructions for your figures to operate. Anybody use this?
    hmmm, Can't use it with another case. Not sure about that.

    The Techgrip is very strong and I used it for my Iphone 6 Plus with a case on it. I replaced the fuel and temperature gauges with USB and 12v power sources to charge my phone with a short cable when my phone needed it. I just heard about the Tackform and it looks similar to the Techgrip. I know a lot of Spyder riders that converted to the Techgrip which convinced me when I saw how strong it is. I also like how I have access to the volume controls on my phone since it grips the phone in the middle.

    Found the best & Installed on my 2018 RTL with Tri-Axis handle bars.
    Lamonster Approved Phone Holder with 1" Ram Ball Mount SKU:LGA-4018.
    Phone USB Cable.jpg
    Wanted to have access to my S9 phone while plugged into BRP Connect instead of hiding S9 in front frunk. I researched many phone holders to trust a $800.00 phone with and this appeared to be the best. I used this along with LG-3091-3019 Lamonster USB Cable Holder - Cable Holder-Extension Cable / USB Type C, Spyder Cuff w/ drink holder, 2 “ Ram Short Double Socket Arm, and 1” Ram Ball all mounted on Spyder cuff and all looks & functions like it belongs professionally.
    Nice option to have when you need to have phone access for fast pictures or emergency calls.

    UPDATE: I got both, the X mount that came with the spyder cuff from Lamonster, and the Tachform. By far and away I like the Tachform one much better! For starters, you only need one hand to put the phone in and out of the mount. Secondly, no little knobby tabs to come off. Thirdly it just seems to grip the phone tighter. I just attached the Tachform to the Spyder Cuff X mount arm. It works great! Thank you all for your suggestions. Now to install a powerport.... This should be an adventure for sure.

    Mob Armor clamps the phone at the top while two angled brackets hold it at the bottom and sides, then the whole thing fits into a RAM mount. The advantage here is that the Mob Armor doesn't interfere with anything on the phone yet it is holding all sides with an actual clamp rather than just relying on friction or some sort of external rubber band. Unless the clamp both comes loose AND moves upward against gravity, that phone ain't going anywhere. You want to take the phone off for security, just unscrew the top clamp. Everybody has their favorite, this one is mine and what I've seen in this thread hasn't changed my opinion. I am using this with an iPhone Xr inside an Otterbox (a very large phone+case) and it fits perfectly. I put a RAM lock on the whole contraption lest somebody steal the mount itself. https://www.mobarmor.com/SCResult/Mo...t-Marball-1285

    I bought this phone holder from Dave, I love it! one hand phone install and remove. Grips really well and it does come with the rubber band tether if you feel like you need it.

    UPDATE: I love the Tachform mount on the Spydercuff, but wasn't all that thrilled with having to connect to bluetooth all the time from the trunk.... Soooooo, i finally bit the bullet, faced my fear of tearing off panels, and decided to run a long 3.5mm wire from the trunk all the way to the spyder cuff.... I also installed the Spydercuff powerplate from Lamonster, that came with a USB power port, and you can pull the power port out of the socket, and plug in your battery tender straight to it! The power port was simple to install, and really works great! Now I have power/sound wire straight to the phone. It is AWESOME! And, now that I know i can take off the panels easy (except for putting back on the mirror), I have a list of mods I want to do. Thanks for all the tips above.

    I have the tackform but be aware it does not currently work on rt. It comes with a handlebar mount so if you don't have exposed bar it won't mount.

    IPhone X users beware!

    I used the Ram Mount with the rubber retainer, and about halfway into my 2 hour first ride with it, the two upper “arms” somehow depressed the two upper buttons on the phone. But, I didn’t know that, nor did I ever know what happens when those two buttons are simultaneously pressed and held. So, when I received a phone call from 911 asking if everything was OK, I apologized and told them I had not called...must have somewhat dialed accidentally. And, since I had my three sons and brother listed as emergency contacts on the phone, they were receiving SOS texts messages, complete with maps updating my location! I never saw their calls coming in for 20 minutes! So, they were talking to each other, and concluded I was in an ambulance, moving down the road! They had even called hospital ER’s and PD’s! After I got home finally put everything together, I felt like the world’s biggest A-hole mom and sister!

    So, moral of the story...if you are abducted with an iPhone X, simultaneously press and hold the two upper buttons on opposite sides of the phone. After so many seconds, 911 and all of your emergency contacts will be notified, and hopefully you’ll be rescued in time! If, however, you’re out for a nice scoot thru the countryside, you do not want ANY PHONE HOLDING DEVICE sending out emergency beacons, crying “wolf!” It is VERY, VERY BAD!!!
