Let me tell you how my RAM Mounts X-Grip has consistently failed over the past 6 weeks and how my iPhone 11 Pro-Max just flew off the RAM Mount at 70mph on the highway. They really need to up their game.
I now use the RAM Mount QuickGrip XL Phone Holder amzn.to/3Qpfigh

I have the same setup (bike and phone mount) for a Pixel 2. I've had it for a year or two and it's actually been great for local riding (don't do much highway). The rubber tips are surprisingly lose though for a $50 product. If you decide to keep it, try changing the angle of your phone in the holder so the wind isn't pushing on the back of it as much. Maybe if you can angle it so the wind "slices" through it more, it'll have less force pushing it out. But after your experiences, I wouldn't blame you for finding a different product.

Use the XL version. That elastic from the normal version is overstretch and it will break easy. Also be aware that any motorcycle mounts will damage your camera from phone as it has OIS. This is caused by vibration.

Mine came with a small tube of superglue to glue the rubber things on. I've never had a problem with my mount, and I've never used the extra rubber thing to secure the phone. My only complaint is that my phone turns a bit in the mount, but that's pretty minor.

7 years with my medium xgrip,, 6 years on my large. 4 years on my wife’s, and 4 on my brothers. Zero problems with any of them, all still using our original rubbers, and none of us lost a rubber foot. Also, I use my iPhone max in the small and the large, with a case on it, and even the small rubber stretches to fit it fine.

I have this same mount and the largest Samsung phone. Haven't had the same issues as you with the rubber holder or the rubber tips, but I can see it happening eventually. The problem I had was that the ball became extremely loose in the socket after a couple of uses, to the point where my phone was flopping around and I was worried about the whole bracket falling off. I stuffed a little tissue in the hole where the ball goes to tighten it up which worked for a few rides and now I notice the plastic is cracked. Not impressed for the price. Going to see if Revzilla will let me return or exchange it. Interesting the variety of responses you got from this post. Obviously not good quality control on these.

Update: Revzilla doesn't do returns unless something is in the package, unused. Pretty lame. But, RAM actually has a nice warranty portal where you upload a pic and they replace the broken part. They responded same day and immediately shipped a replacement of the cracked part which is due to arrive today. I'll update again if the same problem occurs.

Bought a x grip for a note 20 and i accidentally got the smaller version. Still used it for months an it held the phone well. (Fell once an i think it was cause of a long ride and all those bumps) Finally bout a bigger one a lil bit ago an they both worked great. Dont think its meant to be perfect but it works. Your problem might be the phone is eating the wind an it just doesnt look like it was meant for that setup. I wouldnt trust any mount with a plus size phone an expect it to be completely safe with no windscreen

I got my phone back with an unnoticeable scratch as I have a very good case for the phone... I got super lucky, and consider it a life lesson, not using the RAM ever again, waiting on a phone holder that is water proof that attaches to the tank to come in the mail... it cost me less than the RAM did and im confident it will keep the phone safe.

Using 3 different X-grip mounts for years now on CBR 1000, Speed Triple RS and Harley. Never had any issue, even at full speed on race tracks or high vibrating harley V-Twin. The small rubber tip can't be lost if you correctly use the superglue provided as mentioned... Using the same security rubber net on my bikes for many years and never had any issue. Quad locks works great too but 1) depends where you live, it helps alot phone stealers at traffic lights who can steal it in half a second ( seen with my own eyes) 2) you can release teh phone by mistake while trying to access right sided buttons of your phone. I'll stick with Ram mounts for sure even if it's a bit less good looking than quadlock.

The rubber had broken only weeks after I bought it and had been using a rubber band to secure the phone to the mount; and of course on the day I lost my phone I forgot to attach the rubber band. I spent over $50 on the mount and it was stupid purchase. There’s more reliable mounts for $10 on Amazon.

I have had the larger X-Grip for a number of years and never had an issue. That one looks significantly smaller than the one I have. I will say that if you have the thicker Otterbox you are probably stretching the band a bit much. I would also say that the way you have it mounted you are making your phone act like a "spoiler" The wind coming under it in the way it is mounted WILL lift the phone off the mount, especially at higher speeds. The mount is designed to have the phone more at an angle. towards the ground. If you like your phone mounted like that I suggest using the QuadLock mount. It's a better mount for the short handlebars like yours.

Good review. However I wondering if you selected the RAM for your phone and also if it would happen the same if you remove your phone case protection. In other words, the phone protection might be what caused the failure and not the RAM rubber grip. FFF are important engineering attributes. If you modify one then you are not describing the proper product.

98% of car phone holders are complete garbage accept this Ram X Grip. I’ve wasted so much money on phone holders. The X Grip with a the heavy duty suction cup is the best one I’ve ever used. It’s best to have a suction cup lind because you can put it right in front of you so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road to look at the navigation, it’s so so much safer. The X Grip is expensive but if you buy every other phone holder like I have you actually save money on the X Grip because it actually works. Phone holders are not one of those things you want to cheap out on because it will definitely show in anger and frustration.

Why would you want to mount your phone to the bike? I see this as a risk. If you crash are you going to be with the bike? Probably not how do you call for help. Also if you crash do you expect the phone to stay in its mount? Even in a car I keep my phone in my pocket. If I get in a wreck I want to be able to call for help.

What kind of phone do you have ? If you have a iPhone Pro Max 11 or 12 it is too big. It like I am watch my dad 😂, they get mad/rants because they don’t do go enough research and they think if they put more money into it it will fix the problem.

RAM mount is a piece of junk. The knob attached to the upper ball is made of plastic which breaks easily on bumpy road. My X-grip broke twice and the same plastic Go Pro mount broke as well because of the plastic knob. These RAM products just cut corners. I doubt Made in USA actually means Assembled in USA with cheap Chinese materials.
