MagSafe bike mount

First post

With the new “bike computer” software in the upcoming iOS, I’m looking for a secure bicycle mount that’s relatively easy to mount, secure, and will still allow me to use my MagSafe bedside charger without changing cases.

Ideas?

for my iPhone, of course

The new MAG case they have is MagSafe compatible and you’ll be able to securely mount the phone to your bike - I wouldn’t want to rely just on MagSafe - at least not with the state of some of our local roads!

I’m a big fan of the Peak Design system. It’s magnetic + a physical connection and they have a bunch of options for mounting.

I was looking at this as well. I believe they are on Amazon.

Having owned both the Quad Lock and Peak Design systems, I have to put my recommendation forward as Peak Design.

I have a pile of reasons, however here are a few:

The mechanism on the Peak Design is far better, the Quad Lock is bulky and not 100% reliable in my experience.

The case for the Peak Design system is my favourite case of all time, thin and great materials, it also lasts, whilst the Quad Lock case is thick, bulky and very plastic.

The mounting system on my bike looks quite good, and they have a broader range of other accessories.

(own the Peak Design Case for iPhone 13 & 14 Pro, Push Bike Mount, Motorcycle Mount, Tripod & Wallet)

Don’t forget the Mous mounts… I’ve not used the Quad or Peak setups so I can’t compare but I’ve had the Mous case for a little while and I did actually buy a few of the mounts for it… It’s pretty difficult to disconnect as it’s a physical connection not magnetic. I’m not going to try to destroy my case to test the theory as there are YouTube videos doing that and Mous came out pretty good as I recall. Anyway, just an fyi if your’e on the fence.

I picked up a Peak Design case and mount. It seems to meet my needs extremely well. Thank you for the advice.

How’s it been for you? I am still looking and leaning this way now.

Actually went for my first ride using the bike mount today. It positioned the phone in an excellent position, very readable. It seems to be very secure. Also, the matching case works fine for daily use and my bedside MagSafe charger.
