FORZEN Phone Clamp Mount,Backpack Cellphone Holder,Backpack Strap Clip with Detachable for Hiking/Climbing/Outdoor

Perfect solution to keep my phone accessible for photos and navigation when hiking. Easy to mount the phone in the holder, and the versatility of the strap mount makes it easy to attach to multiple spots on the backpack. Very happy with this, especially for the price point

I took this on a 70-mile backpacking trip and loved it. The pics from the manufacturer show it mostly attached to backpacks at the chest level but I found it much better to put it on the bottom of one of my shoulder straps so that it rested above my hip belt. Not only was this more comfortable but it left the phone in convenient reach of my hand, making it easy to quickly grab the phone for pics. This position also made it easy to run a charger cord from a solar panel array connected to my backpack. The downside of the position was that, when I took my pack off, the phone would be near the bottom of the pack so I had to pay attention not to put the bag down in a way that the phone would get in dirt or mud. Attaching and detaching the phone is easy. To attach it, position the phone perpendicular to the part connected to your strap, slide the circle on the back of the phone into the slot of the part attached to the backpack, and rotate 90 degrees to lock it, and do the reverse to detach it. Even without locking it, the phone was secure enough that I mostly didn't bother to lock it so I could more quickly remove it to take pics. On my iPhone 12, I didn't find that the part connects to the phone ever obstructed the camera, but it did sometimes obstruct the light when I was using it as a flashlight. However, the part that connects to the phone is flexible and you can easily shift it around to avoid any such obstructions. A minor inconvenience at worst. A cool additional feature would be finding some way to make this waterproof. When it rained, I simply took it off and put it in a pocket under my rain gear, which made taking pics during rain challenging. I didn't test it out, but it does seem like a waterproof phone case would fit, so that'd be one potential solution.

This does as advertised. Quick access to a phone on a shoulder strap (not sure why backpack makers are not all over this as an accessory or addition, The phone is everyone's GPS now, right?). Easy to store and withdraw phone when needed. The rubber will last 100 years, so no wear and tear possible. Two negatives: 1) The rubber that encases the phone overhangs the screen in the corners, so some functionality is decreased (using microphone to enter destination on map, for instance); 2) the phone can become dislodged from the case if you slide against something, say in a narrow passageway, or if you are carrying something on your shoulder and it rubs the case. It is rare, but it has happened to me.

It turns out this is a great little device and keeps the phone quite close to my face. It's very light. It actually works great!

I bought this item to have quick access to my phone when hiking in Colorado. Not only was it slow and noisy to remove but the straps are not strategically placed so that you can keep the phone in the holster and take a photo. I return this item

I like the strong rubber grips. But the rubber grips cover up part of the camera on the iPhone13. It’s awesome if only it fit my iPhone camera. Great product for someone else .

This phone holder wraps securely onto my backpack strap with Velcro and keeps my phone safe while still being easy to grab when I need it. The clip feels sturdy, and my phone stays put even while walking on trails. I also like that it can quickly switch from portrait to landscape with a simple turn of the dial. Very useful accessory, highly recommend!

I've been using mine since October 2023. Super convenient to have my phone right on the shoulder strap for grabbing a quick photo. Very sturdy grip on the phone. Sometimes a bit difficult to get to the phone screen if you put the rubber strap on too far onto the screen.

Very easy to put together once you figure out to peek sideways strong Velcro very strong rubber bands for the phone won’t have to dig through my bag for my phone. Haven’t used it yet. Will let you know how it works. It is compatible with iPhone 15. It’s my backstrap tightly.

Perfect and simple. Did the trick.
