Questions & Answers

With an otterbox or other protective case, will this hold or fit an iPhone 6?

My Samsung Note 3 is protected by a case. 3. Dimensions 25 inches wide by 6 inches tall There are a total of 25 levels. The ram mount is extremely effective. When setting your phone, you must be cautious of the position. On the left, there's a volume control. Approximately 5 inches from the top The top grips are just above the volume button when I hold the phone in this position. It really works.

What size bar does the u-shaped u-shaped u-shaped u-shaped u bolt fit?

On my 2009 Harley FLHTCU, I'm riding stock bars. So whatever size those are, it'll work fine. I believe it's 1-inch. 1/4". By the way, this is a fantastic product; I can safely store my $600 phone in it, and the ball mount never moves unless I tell it to.

Why is it that the pn on the ram site has the a but not this one? ram- 149z- un10u?

The A in the part number denotes a one-inch shorter double socket arm in the kit. The arm is three inches long without the A and two inches long with the A. Brian P. Ram Mounts are a type of vehicle that can be used to transport goods.

Will this work with an otterbox case on a Motorola Droid Tubo 2?

I have a Droid 2 with an Otter Box and have yet to find a good way to mount it. I have Yaffee ape high rise 1 1/4" bars and am tired of having to return holders that don't fit my phone or my handle bars.

Selected User Reviews For RAM X-Grip Large Phone Mount with Handlebar U-Bolt Base

I really didn't want to spend $50 on this, but it's well worth it! Okay, I'll admit that I've made the blunder of being cheap more than once
5/5

but not once, not twice, not three times, not four times, not even five times br>I've also confirmed with others who made the same errors that almost everything under $30 is for a bicycle, not a motorcycle. Even so, the ones that cost more than $30 and are designed for motorcycles are not designed for people who ride hard; in other words, if you ride off road, or even just on the street, and come down hard from a wheelie, most other mounts will likely knock the phone loose. br>br>This one actually keeps the phone stable at all speeds and conditions I've encountered thus far. br>br>I had to mount it a little unconventionally on my Ducati because it's a track bike with very little room to clamp anything, and the clip-on was a bit of an afterthought. The ons are already short-mounted, leaving no room for a connection to the bar. As a result, I finagled and wrapped the smaller U bolt from the mounting bracket around the protruding spring setting screws from the front fork's suspension. It's an unusual connection, but it's holding strong and I like the way it fits. br>br>Although it was a little more than I wanted to spend on a mount, it was definitely worth it. It's better to spend $50 up front than to spend $1,000 on a replacement phone when your cheap buy drops it on the highway for a buck 30. br>br>I'll try to post again at some point and update if anything changes; if I don't, it'll be fine.

I bought this to use as a phone mount on my motorcycle
5/5

This was bought to mount my phone on the handlebars of my motorcycle. The rail mount works well with my 1" bars. The double socket arm allows me to place it exactly where I want it, and the X-frame allows me to move it around easily. Grip keeps my phone in a very secure grip. I used the little rubber web thing that comes with it to wrap around the corners of your phone to provide extra security against the phone falling out the first few times I used it. After a few rides, I decided to forego the extra piece and rely solely on the X-brace. I've never used the extra piece since it became a part of the grip. The X- Grip is a very strong grip. My phone is mounted behind a windshield on my cruiser, but it hasn't moved in the X-ray. Grip at speeds up to 110 mph in the city or on the highway. You might want the extra security of the web if you're riding a dirt bike or a dual sport on rougher terrain. br>br>My only complaint, which is purely a design issue that you must deal with, is that it takes two hands to put your phone in and out of this device, one to hold the phone and the other to open the X-shaped opening. Grip. Sure, it's a first-world issue, but it's the price you pay for such a strong grip. br>br>Since then, I've added a few more X-rays to my collection. Grips for a variety of vehicles.

Attach the handgrips with glue! Just a few minutes ago, I wrote a review, and my opinion hasn't changed
5/5

It remains one of my favorites! When I get it, the first thing I'm going to do is superglue the rubber grips on. When I first took my phone off, a grip came off with it and flew away, but I quickly replaced it with my eagle-like grip. I took it out of my bifocals and retrieved it. That is not going to happen again!.

The best mount on the market
5/5

RAM motorcycle mounts are by far the best on the market. Over the years, I've tried a few different ones, and while none of them have ever failed to release my phone, the RAM mount is simply superior. Ease of use. Your phone can be popped in and out in a matter of seconds. It has a good foundation. My phone is completely unaffected by the wind or vibrations of my bike, and there are numerous mounting options. It can be mounted in almost any direction and at almost any angle. br>br>My only advice is to remove the thumb screw and tighten it down with a nut once you've got it where you want it and in the perfect position. Because it's so simple, I know a few people who have had the arm and X portion of their bike mounts stolen right off their bikes.

Will be able to handle an iPhone 6 Plus without difficulty! I've had a few different cell phone mounts on my motorcycles over the years, but none of them have worked as well as this one
5/5

I have an iPhone 6 Plus, and the thought of it bouncing down the highway made me reconsider using any kind of phone mount. However, after reading the reviews of others, I decided to give it a try. The unit is simple to use (mounting and dismounting the phone), and it works well even without the included heavy-duty case. I believe the phone is very securely held in place thanks to the heavy-duty rubber straps. When I want to use this mount, I don't have to take off my phone case. This purchase has made me very happy.

If you're looking for the ideal phone holder, you've come to the right place
5/5

If you ask for something, you will get it! Wow, this is the phone holder you've been looking for all these years. It's good looking, solid, sturdy, rugged, adaptable, and easy to reconfigure. I especially appreciate how simple it is to adjust the display angle, pivot, and even switch from portrait to landscape mode in under ten seconds! (Who are these guys who come up with such cool toys?)br>Okay, so it's not cheap, so if you're just looking for something to "get you by" for a while, keep looking. But if you're ready to treat yourself to the display mount of your dreams, one that allows you to easily change the viewing angle and orientation of your phone, this is it!.

It is well-made
4/5

This mount is well-made, but it has one flaw. The standard mount was too small for my iPhone 8 with or without the Otter Box case, so I bought it and returned it. This mount is superior, but it has one flaw that I dislike. The phone rotates about 10 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise in the mount, but it does not lock solidly in place. I contacted the manufacturer, who informed me that this is normal and that using the stretchy rubber band would help. I'm going to be optimistic and hope that using the phone will not be a problem. Let's hope for the best.

A phone can be mounted on the handle of a handle bar
5/5

This took about five minutes to mount on my motorcycle. Reading instructions was part of that. It's not difficult, and the extra security provided by the rubber strap comes in handy on bumpy roads (imagine primitive dirt with potholes and ruts, very unforgiving). a lot better The extra rubber isn't needed on regular hard-surface roads. It's possible that not all bikes will be placed in the same spot. This is how I keep track of my GPS route. Attending to calls, messages, or other such nonsense on the phone while driving or riding is something I do not recommend. br>br>If you go into a restaurant, nothing about this mount will keep your bike from being stolen. Wait, who in this day and age would leave their phone at home? You'd go into technological withdrawal.
