1 month UPDATE: DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Used it a few times more. On a recent ride, 10 mins in my cellphone popped out 3 times on a busy bike path. It's been absolutely horrible... so I'm not feeling too awesome about this. My phone has yet to break thank god for my Spiegen case! but the kickstand on my case is completely busted up. I'm not how often I'll be using this thing... the roads I'm on are pretty rough for my road bike though but still.
UPDATE end June: they just released a new loop mount on Kickstarter that seems to resolve all the issues I mentioned. I spoke to their team to get my hands on one and see if they've redeemed themselves! Stay tuned!
UPDATE Oct: some production issues, finalizing manufacturing, when they are closer to sending one out they shall send me one! It might be past biking season for me (colder weather) but I'll still do the best with the review even if it means being inside a garage
I wasn't planning on getting a phone bike mount but then with COVID, exploring, then seeing this product on Kickstarter, it just felt right to get. So how does it hold up?
