Smart phone bar mount/case; recommendations please

Postby Scotty72 » Sat Dec 20, 2014 4:00 pm

I'm wanting to mount my Samsung S5 on my handlebars to use View Ranger on it. There are a few bar cases on Ebay/Amazon and the like and a few hard cases but I can't find anything that seems to offer a secure mount according to mixed buyer reviews; The Ultimateaddons S5 cases look good and offer access to screen and external buttons but the mounting systems seem fragile.
Anyway, what do you use/recommend?
Ta. :)

UltimateAddons is what I use, also a few others here. Very water resistant and offers cable access for charge.
If you get the correct mount it's compatible with RAM Mounts: so your options would be endless.

Check ball and socket size.

Is that what they call the pro mount..the one with the ball mount? I guess you just use the "female bit" which attaches to the back of the case and junk their bar attachment bit and use a RAM bar mount?
