Well I bought a couple of these because of their clever, low profile design and ability to easily take them on or off. I have used my iPhone for GPS tracking of trips in the past and thought this would be a good way to also just hold my phone which I always take with me anyway everywhere.

First impressions were good on this mount and was being admired by other riders. However, a couple of weeks ago while on my carbon road bike going about 25mph on a somewhat rough city road when my iPhone was ejected right out from the cradle! It skidded some distance, hit a curb and popped a corner open (miraculously, an iPhone Store Genius put it back together for me for free and it fired up just fine!).

Anyway, it is clear to me that the small tab on the cradle just isn’t able to hold the phone sufficiently over this sort of riding. I have written several notes to Bicio about this with no reply whatsoever. So my advice is to give this one a miss until they at least address the retention issue with a new cradle design version – though if my product and customer support experience is typical, the company may not survive that long.
