Guest george109 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi, I am looking for a waterproof phone holder for my Bike, that will fit my G300. I have had a look on eBay and Amazon and I can only find one that is waterproof and that costs £26! :blink: I was wondering if anybody uses one which is any good, and where they got it from. (however it has to be waterproof) Thanks for any recommendations George :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I use a mount and soft case from Ultimate Addons for cycling. It works really well. There are cheaper options but it was a present from someone. Its very secure on the bike and you can use the touch screen through the case. Not had to try it in a downpour but it should be up to the job. I like the actual mount as its quite low profile so doesn't stick out high about the handle bars. http://www.buybits.com/Product/8273/Ultimate-Addons-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Bicycle-Bike-Handlebar-Mount-For-Use-With-Any-Ultimate-Addons-Cradle-Or-Case-sku-8273.aspx I got them direct from the Ultimate Addons website but I can't seem to find that now, unless they are now part of "buybits". Only real downside (apart from cost) is that it can be difficult to see the screen in daylight because of reflections from the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bladebuddy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Funny enough my mount just landed today it was bought for ZTE blade but expands to fit my 300 also and its very secure I have placed the phone (g300) and shook it like crazy and it stayed put. Not waterproof obviously but if I place my phone in my waterproof pouch the it should work. Pouch and mouth will come in around £8. Very happy with it.

Guest rwalton159 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I've been looking for a holder so I can attach my bike to my cycle handlebars and would appreciate some feedback please. Here's a couple of links of products I have found: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-UNIVER...839514&afsrc=1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jazooli-Cycl.../dp/B00DJJGE1S http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roswheel-B...712401&afsrc=1 Thank you Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timbones Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I like the look of the front pannier from Amazon you posted above. Added it to my wish list :) A close second is this handle bar mount bag: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00DIMEP3U/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?tag=thecryosphere-21&pi=SL500_SS115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george109 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions, Just a quick tip for anyone buying a phone holder Please make sure you check the dimensions! You do not want it to not fit or for it to fall out as it is too big for it! The G300 Dimensions are: Height: 12.5 cm / 4.82 inches Width: 6.3 cm / 2.48 inches Depth/Thickness: 1.05cm / 0.41 inches Edited September 2, 2013 by george109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bladebuddy Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 After only having mine a few days I would definitely buy one that mounts on the cycle frame like those in the previous link. My son thought he was the downhill king and flew straight over the handle bars . The result smashed my mount to bits. Lucky he's o.k. Mount isn't ! Couldn't imagine any handle bar mount surviving unless made of metal. A frame mounted one would of probably been o.k. Buy once and buy right.

I guess that that might not be a good buy then if it cant take an impact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
