Just received one of these for Christmas and I immediately thought of this thread. Anyone want it? Free to a good home.

It is not bad. I merely tried to make people aware of a possible dangerous situation eg hit a speedbump a little hard and phone land between feet while driving.

After fitting a small magnet i have deliberately tried to get it to be dislodged and so far i was not able to do it.

Rather enjoy your cradle.

Decided to give it a go and try it out. Not really a fan I must say, feels like it just gets in the way but I also don't really require the extra storage.
I also feel slightly apprehensive that I will leave something accidentally on display and come back to a smashed window. :(

Blob of Blue Tack at the bottom ... if that doesn't fix it, then WD40 and/or Gaffa Tape

Jalapeño, IISY?

I don't know if all these holders are the same or not, or if there are minor differences in the shape/angles. But you'd have to hit a speedbump fairly hard for this to happen in mine. Although I agree it is that kind of motion (front axle compression on both sides at the same time) that can cause this. But as a rule it is not a normal thing on most road or even greenlanes.

I was out laning before Christmas with my phone in the holder with OS Maps displaying. No problem at all.

Yes indeed. Speed humps was the main issue for dislodging. Not all speed humps equal. Anyway it has been solved with magnet.
