Post subject:  Cell phone mount

Can anyone recommend a cell phone mount for a Galaxy S4? I'd like to have my phone handy for gps, etc while I'm out there. I want something semi-permanent - no suction cup mounts.

Thanks.

Good chance the RAM X-Grip will do the job:

Holder Dimensions:
Minimum Width = 1.875"
Maximum Width = 3.25"
Depth = 0.875"

Any Hobie dealer should have them.

I agree..I have this in my car and it holds a lot of different phones very securely

I like the "steelie mount" system. A steel ball and a magnet with 3M adhesive/tape. I was concerned about the effect of the magnet on the phone at 1st, but mounted the way they specify and I haven't had an issue. It's a whole less restrictive than other 'holders' as it doesn't grip or hold the phone - the magnet does - and it rotates around the steel ball for multiple easy to acheive angles. Just my opinion though.

That Steelie system looks cool but I don't think it would handle Saltwater abuse much (don't think it's made for that to be honest) but looks sensational for the car

I use the RAM X-grip for my iphone (Lifeproof cased) on my Outback...just add the RAM Tough-claw to mount on the H-Rail. Saltwater safe.
I would suggest a leash on your phone as no phone holder is indestructible. ;-)

If only the small rubber attachments at each corner would stay put! They fall off easily when removing the phone. Recommend using superglue to make them somewhat permanent!

I too use the X-Grip for my iPhone but did order this yesterday for $6. Wraps around the back of the X-Grip and then secures the 4 corners of the phone. For $6, I thought it was worth the try. Doesn't arrive until Thursday, so maybe I'll try it out on Friday.
