Phone Size

When I did use my phone as a screen, I would use a cable similar to this one when I rode:

3 in 1 Universal Magnetic USB Charging Cable For iPhone Type C Micro USB | eBay

The magnet adapter and cable are connected via rare neodymium magnets. In addition, the iPhone magnetic adapter side or Android magnetic adapter side makes charging easy and very convenient to use! Universal 3in1 Magnetic Charging Cable.

No problems charging and had the benefit of being easily connected and disconnected. Also helps to keep the water out of the charging port somewhat.

Hey @jodog Which RAM mount do you have? The X-Grip or the Quick Grip? We have both in our household. I prefer the Quick Grip and my kid the X-Grip. Both come in regular and large versions. I tried the X-Grip but where the arms contacted my phone it would interfere with or depress side buttons when positioned so its grip was secure (Samsung Galaxy S10). So I moved to the Quick Grip, which I really like. I think it's more secure than the X-Grip. I never trusted that manner of holding the phone.

I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and was forced to move to the Quick-Grip XL. That worked great till it didn't. Summer '23 I discovered that the primary camera in my phone was shot. It wouldn't focus reliably. All the same symptoms that the iPhones were suffering and attributed to vibration. I had the camera replaced and switched to the Quadlock with the wireless charging and vibration isolation. So far I've been happy with it, though recently RAM caught up with the trend and released a damper. I could've used that with the RAM components I already had, but I needed something now. Hardest part was getting a Quad-Lock to RAM 1" ball adapter. Best option was 3rd party.

I also like the latest Peak Design system. Theirs uses super-magnets to self align the latching system for the phone case to their mount. Very secure, very easy. While I find it secure, the Quad-Lock is challenging to align and attach to the mount I have centered between the bars on my 1300. Unfortunately they've yet to release a vibration damper, so that's a no-go for me and I stick with my Quad-lock.

Got the large size x grip. Threw that stupid tethering thing away and haven't lost a phone yet.
