2nd Smartphone Lost off mount and destroyed

[KJWEB]

I have 2 ram mount x-grips with the tether and if it is on there properly, it will not jar out. When i first got it, I thought there was no way for the tether to fit, but it does. I have iphone 7. I can send you a pic of it after I get home from work. :spyder2::spyder2:

Thanks. I think my x grip has a problem. It's flexing on hard bumps. That is what happen to both phones right after I hit the bumps.

I'll send you a pic tonight, hmmm, sounds interesting, I don't think a phone could fall out with a tether attached. You could also send me a picture of your set up......

Uh.....I threw the X grip in the trash since it has cost me two phones.

The 7s Active and Edge, the rubber tether isn't big enough for the phone and case.

Are you sure you had the correct size tether? There are different sizes. I have an iPhone 6plus with an Otter case and it works. Is your phone bigger than that? I get ribbed a lot for having such a big phone lol. Cant see many phones being larger.

My luck with cell phones is.....well no luck at all. I have now destroyed two Galaxy 7s that have bounced out of my RAM X Grip and destroyed in 4 months time.
What mounts are available and reliable that you are using. Oh by the way, I can no longer get insurance on my phones. I've lost or it's been destroyed 3 phones in the last year and the company canceled my phone insurance.

My wife won't let me buy anymore phones! :banghead:

The Tech Mount works GREAT and you will not have your phone come off of it....

I agree with the techmount grip. I had the x-grip but always was concerned with my phone falling out and used a tether strap as additional protection. I purchased a Techmount grip when I saw it a couple of years ago and I no longer need a tether strap. The phone is nice and secure and it's not going anywhere.

Another vote for Techmount 4-Techgripper, used it for 3.5 months without a problem. I finally installed a GPS. But I am going to install a cup holder and put this on it for my phone. I do have an Otterbox case, one of the thinnest on my Galaxy S7 Edge. It never even slipped a bit off the techgripper once.

X GRIP TETHERS

Here what I got works well, I don't know how the phone would ever come out
sorry if they are sideways but you get the idea, the rubber tether is very tight:spyder2::spyder2:

Velcro works wonders

I always use a little bit of Velcro on the back of my phone case and the center of the Phone mount just for extra hold. Works like a charm.

:agree: No worries

 

[blitzkreig]

It works well with my iPhone. Perhaps ... :firstplace:

Get the specific RAM cradle for your phone.
I got one for my iPhone 6+ and it's solid. NO WAY is it coming out.

I just use a rubber band around the x-grip and the phone/radar det. etc, never had an issue, of course, I avoid potholes too.
