Good cycle mounts?

Hey
anyone found a good MTB mount - something that keeps the phone firmly in place (even during a crash - I have habits I just can't break :rolleyes: ) and absorbs vibrations and knocks?

thanks
 
RAM makes a few nice one's but they're kind of pricey... I ordered an extra otterbox defender and took the holster and zip tied it to the stem on mine. It actually works pretty good. I can try to take a pic later today if you can't visualize it.
 
I use RAM but I can't find the one I have on their website anymore. They are only selling the Aqua Box and X mount. I would be careful with the X mount. It looks like it could slide out of the bottom if you encountered a hard enough bump.
 
I have the RAM X mount on my Motorcycle. It stays put at 130mph and from the impact from wheelies just fine. I wouldn't use it on a mountain bike if you are doing any hard riding because the phone will definitely pop out.
 
Checkout Proclip/Brodit. They are my mounting solution of choice, at least when it comes to the base mount (which is the most solid that I've ever tried). I pair the Prodclip vehicle specific mount with an arkon ultra slim, but for an actual bicycle, the base mount in addition to a very solid holder would be a good idea, considering you'd want to prevent the device form falling at all.

Can I see a pic of your set-up? I just bought an otterbox case as well and wasn't planning to use the holster so might be an option for me for my MTB bike.
