Urban Cycling Commuter Approved
I've got to be honest, I was a little disappointed when my specific phone model (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+) wasn't going to have a phone case made by Peak Design. I didn't have a lot of confidence in the adhesive backed Universal Adapter, especially with such a large/heavy phone, but boy, was I wrong. I made sure I followed the installation instructions very carefully & after few months of use, I can confidently say that this mount is ROCK-SOLID. As an urban cycling commuter & avid cyclist in Los Angeles, I've primarily used this on my daily commutes & recreational rides on a minimum of 100 miles a week (sometimes more). I've even threw it on my gravel bike for a little off-road fun. This has stayed secure with no problems in conjunction with the Out-Front Bike Mount. Not only has it stayed secure, but I've even went to lengths to see how far I could push it's durability. Though I don't recommend it, I've literally picked up my entire bike by just my phone using just the Universal Adapter & Out-Front Bike Mount (that's roughly around 20lbs). Besides the durability, the Universal Adapter is just insanely slim, lightweight, & convenient to use. As a photographer & content creator, I'm constantly connecting & disconnecting my phone while riding to capture my adventures. I don't even have to look or wonder if my phone has connected, it just simply connects & works. Added benefit: sometimes when I need to go hands-free & I have a magnetic metal surface around me (like my fridge), the magnets are actually strong enough that the phone will stick to the surface. That's fairly impressive given my phone's size & weight. I wish more phone accessories were THIS well thought-out & designed. Kudos to Peak Design for nailing yet another product! I'm sorry I ever doubted you & I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me.
work great
I am using the peak mounting system in conjunction with Spartan mounts to mount Boss Flex speakers on various bikes. I modified the spartan mounts to accommodate the adapters and it works great. i now have quick release bluetooth speaker.
Excellent options for my Otterbox defender case
I know the company disclaimer says not to install onto textured cases but I tried anyway. I was very careful to clean with extra isopropyl alcohol and seat the adapter as the template shows. I also then let the phone and case set for many hours under some weight to allow the 3M tape to fully adhere. Well, I have the bike mount on both my road and mtn bikes and have not been gentle and have had wonderful results! My phone stays attached just fine! My only grip is there is no belt clip option and I do keep asking the company to get on this! I also have the car dash mount and the mag safe phone charger....all work great!
Works on a Motorcycle
I purchased this to use with my Peak Design Evotech Fuel Tank mount with an S20 with Tech21 cover. I was hesitant to use it on the Tech21 cover as it is semi flexible. After mounting to the cover, waiting 48hours (instructions are 24hrs), and going on a few short trips it has held up. Now, I have logged over 2k miles with this attached to my cover on the motorcycle and it is holding strong. I am quite surprised at the 3M tape holding as I have had issues with this tape holding inside vehicles and not exposed like on a motorcycle. No problems to report. I am happy with this mount and will purchase other mounts when I change phones.
Best case I ever had
I had this phone for some time. Its rugged so dropping it to the ground does not matter much. It has keyboard so it is comfortable to write. But its heavy (>300g) and quite bulky so there are no sensible cases for that (not that they would be needed). It is also too large to fit for example the PD Tripod phone holder. I was waiting for this adapter to test it for too long and I can confirm it is awesome. The magnets hold this heavy beast anywhere I need, regardless it is the official car/bike/tripod/capture mount or metal door frame.
The Best
I used to use Quad Lock to attach my phone to my bike, but I always took the case off after rides due to how bloody thick it is. Also, I could never manage to attach the thing with a single hand (or on my first attempt). This PD adapter changes everything: First, it’s so thin I never feel the need to take my case off. Second, It’s so easy to attach, I literally only have to put my phone there and bam! (Detaching it has also been pretty simple but details on that will be on my Bike Lock review) Third, it looks pretty darn cool. I never cycle far without my phone (read, slave to navigation) and PD accessories made the whole experience much more enjoyable.
Wicked-strong adhesive, wicked strong connection
My biggest praise for this adapter: It works one hundred percent as well as the full-on phone case. You don't feel like a second-class citizen just because you don't have one of the three phones for which PD makes a case. This lil' dude sticks strong and attaches completely solid to all the other mounts and doo-dads in the Mobile ecosystem. The adapter takes up virtually no space on the back of your phone – I didn't notice a difference in thickness at all. PD didn't cheap out on the adhesive (authentic 3M VHB), and I have absolutely zero concerns about this thing coming unstuck. Follow the prep steps carefully, use the provided alignment tool, and you'll be golden.
Otterbox Defender retrofit
My wife needs a more protective case than the Peak Design provides but I wanted to move to PD vent-mount phone holder. By carefully cutting a matching hole in the back of the rubber outer case I was able to attach the “universal” phone mount to a compatible surface. Note: you keep using that word (universal). I do not think it means what you think it means. This retrofit works great and almost looks like it was designed this way!
Lightweight, secure, great system
I've been using a Universal Adapter on a slim case for a while. The adhesion to my case is bulletproof. It's very lightweight, and I love the texture of the fabric. The magnets are ridiculously strong, to the point where I'm frequently mounting my phone to my microwave or my refrigerator while I'm cooking in the kitchen. And it works great with the Out-Front Bike Mount. The only thing I'd say is make sure your case fits tightly on your phone. The secure mount of the Universal Adapter doesn't help you much if your phone slips out of its case! The Peak Design system is so much better than competitors' bike mounts I've used in the past, and I can't wait to get additional accessories to use it with.
Great addition to my case!
This review is for the Universal Adapter on an Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max with the Caudabe Sheath case. Highlights: - Super slim! Almost NO bulk added to my case - Magnetization works great with my PD car mount Areas of opportunity / Points to note: - I wish this adapter was reusable if I want to upgrade my iPhone in the future. Item notes state, "This adapter is not intended to be reused." So just a word of caution if you upgrade your phone often. If the adapter was at a lower price point, I wouldn't mind the replacement cost (but I suppose I must since I have the car mount!) Since this is a one-time use item, I'd love if PD can create a recycling program, so that these items don't go in the landfill once its lifecycle is up. - Item notes also do not recommend "Porous, textured or soft-touch coated cases". The Caudabe Sheath case has a lightly textured surface (see photo), but the adapter's 3M adhesion seems pretty solid. I guess I'll have to see how it holds up over time. Overall, very happy with this adapter! Bravo, PD team!
