What are you all using for Phone Holders on the handle-bars?
What are you using for a phone holder on the handlebar? Right now I have the X-Grip from Ram. I see they now have an adjustable rigid mount. Is that more secure? TIA Tom

Reason: Expanded title to briefly ask the question... ;-)
Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?
I'm using a ram ball attached to a Quad Lock for over 70K without any incidents of detachment nor damage to my phone. I'm using the cheaper non cushioned Quad Lock, the up scale cushioned wasn't available when I started using it, no problems with phone.

I copied and pasted the above as I was to lazy to type it all out, so I figured RapidSpyder has exactly what I have so why not copy and paste.
I did not steal his photo as that would be wrong.
Wow that was a lot of useless typing.
Lol

The Can-Am Center Mount/Short Reach from Motorcycle Dave's, which attaches to the center mount of the handlebars in lieu of one of the four bolts that holds that center mount works outstandingly for me. I have real confidence in this all steel phone holder and use it every time I ride my 2021 RT. Its the middle one shown in Post #9 of this thread. It comes with a rubber extra that can be put over the four corners of the phone, just for extra safety, but I never feel the need for using that. The basic steel holder is rock solid for my Iphone 13.

I use Lamonster's Spyder Cuff, a Ram Ball and phone mount. The phone mount is adjustable to fit your phone.

All of you that found something that works for you personally, I prefer leaving my phone in my pocket. Bluetooth to headset np - Zumo 660GPS is on the bars (try only look at when/if needed) bars otherwise bare except for a few event wrist bands collected.

Like poster #12, I use a Quad-Lock setup but with vibration dampener and QI wireless charger. You have to purchase a phone specific case but I can secure my phone (S23 Ultra) on my bike, car, and anything/anywhere else I have a matching mount.

I have, and use, a RAM Quick Grip XL, Tackform and Lamonster Phone Phang. For security, I'd rank them: Quick Grip, Tackform, Phone Phang. For convenience: Tackform, Phone Phang, Quick Grip. I use the Tackform/Quick Grip for my phone and the Phone Phang for my IPod. The Tackform has a noticeably stronger grip than the Phone Phang. My .02

I also use the Quad-Lock with the vibration damper on the Spyder and it has been rock solid. I also use a Quad-Lock mount in my truck. The truck mount doesn't have the locking lever and the phone is still secure. Seems like good products.
I use the Tackform and the center mount from Dave. Works great.
