Jersey pocket, in a sandwich bag to keep the sweat off. No problem unless you hang upside-down .

I've found simply due to heat/sweat sandwich bags tend to break down in the short and mid-term.

I have a Galaxy S7, and I've been using the Vibrelli Universal Phone Mount

It works VERY WELL.
It securely holds the phone in it's "grasp", the mount keeps the phone in place, and at the angle you place it, it doesn't wobble or shake or tilt. Full disclosure, I do not ride a MTB or on trails, so I honestly don't know how it will do off-road.
I don't know the water resistant/proofing of the V10, but rain wasn't a big concern for my S7.
There are others like this one that have a water proof bag.

Most of mine are cheap, and its still a non-issue. Phone always goes in the back pocket, in a ziploc if its raining. Never had it come out.

This is why I have a small flip phone.

I put mine in a sticky pod and place my jersey pocket. It's only for emergencies, I ride to get away from the phone.

I shop for phones like I would for bike parts.

Lightest and most durable.

Moto X weighs 130 grams and is 5in tall. And it handles all the sweat and rain.

Does anyone recommend any Amazon phone holders?

I use this one: Bike Mount Holder - iKross Universal Smartphone iPhone Bicycle WaterProof Pouch Holster Case - Black.

I use just the case, without the mount. My Nexus 6p is a tight fit, but it's waterproof and still fits into a jersey pocket just fine. I completed a 100k ride in the rain and had no issues. A bargain @ $16....

I think Quad Lock is considered state of the art. I've been very happy running one on both of my bikes. There have been a few accounts of riders getting some serious chemical burn from phone batteries rupturing in a crash while in a jersey pocket.

I commute via motorcycle year-round, and keep my phone on my handlebar with a SlipGrip handlebar mount made specifically for my phone and its Otterbox Commuter case. It holds my phone securely on bumpy roads, over speedbumps, and on highways at speeds approaching triple digits, so I can listen to music, make/receive calls, and get turn-by-turn directions thru the speakers in my helmet.



When I buy a new phone (like I did a couple weeks ago) or new case for my existing phone, I only have to replace the kydex shell and not the entire assembly.

No affiliation with the company. Just a very satisfied customer.

Pockets or a small fanny pack is usually enough for me.

Lost a phablet years ago because it was too big to fit in most pockets, set it on the roof of a car and went 30 miles before realizing what I had done.

If I need to carry bulky items, racks, panniers and baskets are more effective.

This also looks interesting.

Handle bar bag.. if worried about shaking damage, bubblewrap it , plenty of apace in a bar bag.

My iphones 6 and 8 have stayed in my jersey pocket through CX races, crashes, and a couple thousand hours of cycling. The only time they've fallen out of a jersey pocket have been when I was taking a 3/4 zip jersey off in a bathroom.

Ziplock bag and jersey pocket.

Or, on my gravel bike, in a handlebar bag, which is even better.

I put some stick on Velcro
On my bike jersey pocket.
Holding up well for 3 months.

Motivation was
I’d lost it out of jersey pocket once
(find my iPhone worked)

Velcro’d pocket

iPhone 6S+ fits in most jersey pockets. Fit's in the jersey pockets of all mine, even the long sleeve thermal jerseys. Nice and snug. I've got a kind of low profile UAG case on it, works no problems.

DomaneS5

I've got a 5.5" screen.. Galaxy S7. Fits fine in a jersey pocket during summer time... jacket pocket in winter time.

dennis336

I've always carried my smartphone - a pretty big Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen (I'm too cheap to buy a high-end phone - in my jersey pocket and haven't ever any issues.


As an aside, I'm not a Smart Phone power user by any means ... I keep a very minimal talk and data plan. If I know I'll be riding in an unfamiliar area, I'll download that area from Google Maps while at home using my wifi connection to an off-line map on my phone. That way, when I'm riding and I'm lost or on the verge of getting lost, I pull up the offline map and find my current location. I get the advantage of the map/gps features even if I don't have a wifi or cell connection. It's been a nice help on a number of occasions to confirm where I was and is a good cheapskate's way to get un-lost.

FWIW, my phones usually sit in a ziplock baggie, stuffed inside a cheap leather pouch from the dollar store, in my right rear jersey pocket. No problems. If I need to make or answer a call or check a map I pull over. Due to an old neck and shoulder injury I have limited mobility with my right shoulder so I can't just reach back and grab my phone. That encourages me to pull over and stop to use the phone.

On rare occasions when a family member is in the hospital (including my mom back in December) and I need quicker access I'll put a phone in my left rear jersey pocket without a baggie or pouch, because I have good mobility with my left arm. And I have occasionally answered the phone while riding. I don't make calls and never text or check maps or Facebook or any other nonsense while riding. On group rides if I'm expecting to answer the phone I'll hang out in the back so nobody behind me is endangered.

I don't have a proper bike computer and occasionally I'll mount a phone on the handlebar to monitor my speed, etc., on harder training rides. I don't bother with that on more leisurely rides where I don't have any goals, or on casual group rides.

Road vibration hasn't hurt my iPhone 4s, the only phone I use on a handlebar mount. I snagged an older Delta caddy since it was new/old stock and cost only $3 via Amazon's warehouse because the cardboard packaging was scuffed.

The Delta type caddy probably offers a little more resistance to vibration than some mounts. It's all plastic, clamps onto the handlebar or stem, has rubbery inserts and completely surrounds the phone other than the display. It's not as elegant as the Quad Lock but for $3 I ain't complaining. I modified my Delta mount slightly by swapping the bolt that needed a screwdriver for a longer bolt and knurled thumbscrew, so I can mount/unmount it easily.

But with the display running the battery lasts only a few hours, tops. With some apps it'll last only an hour. I found a bare bones speedometer app that's battery-frugal, has good visibility in daylight, and doesn't demand a bunch of intrusive permissions to access all my data, social media accounts, etc. I used it Tuesday and it lasted about four hours and gracefully stepped down to low power mode without losing my data for that ride. That's pretty good for a 6-7 year old iPhone on the original battery, with display on maximum brightness. It doesn't record to any usable format, can't transfer to Strava, etc. It's just a basic display for speed, distance, compass heading, etc. I use my newer cheap Android phone to record all that stuff. It cost only $10 and I won't be heartbroken if it breaks.

Yes on Quad lock, well designed, nice fit/finish zero issues and very solid platform. Requires buying and using their phone case which is nice and slim and has a silicone rain cover. Can take a call while riding if I choose. A little spendy, but works great with many positive reviews. Would buy again.

Laurido92

I keep my iPhone 6S plus in a waterproof bag inside my center jersey pocket and have never had issues with it coming out or falling

LisaG5

I currently use iKross case and mount from Amazon on my gravel bike which I only really use on the road or asphalt trails. Problem is I live in the South where the temperatures rise well into the 90's so the case overheats my phone. I used it for the cycling app to keep track of mileage, speed, etc. Any ideas of a case/mount that would not overheat my phone?
