For me, the phone is in my jacket pocket. Check it when I stop. Not interested when riding. Sat nav is my only distraction. Another 2c......................
That's because you haven't got any friends and any calls you get will be about an outstanding bill.
Hi-jack warning .......
My mobile is provided by work, the advantage is it doesn't cost me anything, except for the disadvantage of needing to keep it switched-on and take calls afterhours. In nearly 20 years with my employer this only happened a dozen or so times, so not a big deal.
Another disadvantage is when no.1 son calls to advise that he run out of fuel on the Hume Freeway near Wangaratta, I'm riding on the Princes Highway near Bairndale, about 5 or 6 hours away, I wasn't much help.
And on the way home from Wooli, riding through Cessnock, a call from daughter because the clutch on
MY car had failed, again I was not much help.
In both cases, with the Sena bluetooth connection to the iPhone was nice to know your family can contact if needed, or not needed.
..... end hi-jack.
I have the large X gripper from back in the days when I used an 8 inch tablet for the GPS but to much mucking around securing it with the rubber retainer which if you don't use will be just about the end of your device.
Not sure what the smaller one is like but I guess the same would apply.
The other thing you need to consider is how waterproof or not the phone is.
I have the small Ram X gripper, it's fine with the iPhone 6s. The iPhone is
NOT waterproof.
