Nice! I am still waiting for mine but even when I receive it, I don't know if I will use it on the ST. I am set up already but in a vehicle it may work.My fancy mount arrived today.
I have to say that I'm completely blown away by its quality.
Here it is with the S6 Active loaded in.
(Apologies for the less than stellar photos)

That is some nice kit! It looks even nicer in your pics than the site and a great value for the price of a Quarter Pounder and medium fries.
No kidding.
Use the x grip tether available online
As I have stated, the fingers are too short to hold the phone properly with a case. For that reason, I wont use it on my bike. One bump with the hand and the phone pops out. I mounted one to the dash in my concrete mixer, which is my daily driver and I have to say, the phone doesnt vibrate loose or fall out on its own, only when bumped with my hand. The screw hasnt loosened at all. If I dont hit it, the phone has stayed put for 8-10 hours of abuse on jobsites.For the unfamiliar, concrete trucks have no rear suspension and the ride can be VERY ROUGH at times, especially off-road. I dont worry about the phone falling out in the truck, if I hit it because it just lands on the floor or console... on the bike however, the phone would likely be toast if it it fell out while riding.
Why not back it up with a couple of fat rubber bands - like those used on broccoli or other similar type vegetables?
Good idea. I already have a bike mount I made by affixing a RAM ball to the OtterBox belt clip. The phone is very securely held. I just dont like the otterbox rubber case for everyday use, so I was looking for something else, so while these mounts were are discussing wont fit the bill for my bike, they are fine for my vehicles and I will continue to use my homemade mount on my bike for now. I just wanted to point out a shortcoming of this mount for people who really wanted to use this on their bike.
x grip tether I had mentioned earlier...works on mine.
I use a Lifeproof case. Pricey, but I paid $20 something on ebay, so don't go rushing to the website and bite on their $79 list price (well, i haven't checked the price recently, but that was what they were asking when I bought my iphone a few years ago). The Lifeproof is supposed to be waterproof, tho the fingerprint id does not work well through the membrane.
Thanks for the link. I missed that earlier. Looks like an excellent solution to the problem. And more elegant than rubber bands.
I can attest to enjoying the Hondo mount (purchased it before I was aware of the model in the topic of this thread). Matched it with a RAM ball and arm to mate with the existing ball on my riser. Has worked well over the past 200km of highway travel, 300km city. I use the Samsung S8+ (waterproof) in a Spigen Neo Hybrid case.
+1 I really like it. Yeah it's a little pricey but I quickly forget about the little details.
Heh. They thought of that too (claims to hold .75 to 8 inch): http://www.hondogarage.com/index.php/product/landing/big-squeeze-tablet-mount
