Good Bike mount for the Note.??

---

I just received this from Amazon...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details

not sure if i like it...it seams secure, but i had a problem with it on a bike ride today and i think im going to send it back...anyone have a good one that they recomend?

i thought about getting one for my bike also, but then for some reason i don't think i want my expensive phone getting crushed if i happen to fall over or hit something.

surprisingly that never went through my head with my iphone.

Trident offers a bike mount for their Kraken case, which should be released soon. I've used RAM mounts before, very very sturdy.

I ride with my wifes old Aria in an Otterbox (REAL Otterbox) + standard 4 hole GPS mount motorcycle mount. It stays in place pretty well, but no way to interact with the phone, so I gotta leave the screen on, and the box isn't that clear, has some amount of frosting to it, although I haven't had any problems reading through it.

Plusses are it's waterproof and pretty bomb proof, so if I get caught in the rain or wreck, the phone should be safe. It'd really be nice to be able to interact with it though. I have to stop, pop the latches, open the lid...

The Note actually fits in it if I take off the phone case, but I don't think I'll be riding with it like that.

Anywho, if you want, I'll look up the exact things I got.

I don't think it's a good idea to mount a bike on the Note. It's not that big...

Do you have a link for the mount? (and the case)
Thanks

I got the Samsung Car Holder for the Note which holds it very securely . It seems to have the same ball connector. Maybe it would fit together with the handle holder instead of the Window thingy. Just a thought.

If you buy the trident kraken ams case there is a bike clip attatchment accessory you can buy seperately on the website! !

Those squeezable mounts suck. Sorry for your loss. I have used these, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cycling-Bike...item3375756eed. From ebay, and Asia. But they have worked out. You can find different sellers for them.

The note with a VERY THIN case will fit in this Otterbox. A normal silicon or TPU it wont' fit, or will just barely fit. And remember, you can't interact with the phone in the case! Although with a dremel, you could possibly have a pretty tough case that you could touch though, although it'd obviously be less bomb-proof and you'd have to do something for water resistance. As-is, it's almost bombproof and waterproof.

To attach I just templated the holes on the case with the mount, drilled. To maintain water resistance, I put a piece of an old intertube between the mount and the case, just a bit of silicone, and screwed down tight. I've dunked it in in the sink, nothing. The screws on the inside I put duct tape over just in case anything rubs, but I put together a piece of cut-up foam in there to secure the Aria I normally use in the case.
