A bike phone holder for Black Friday is primarily chosen with your smartphone in hand: most of the offers on this page are cases made for a specific model, to be paired with the holder of the same brand. You can find discounted cases, holders, and bundles, an operation that Vélo-Store extends throughout the month of November. Note down the full name of your phone, then the place to attach it, whether it's the stem, handlebars, or headset.
A Quad Lock, Tigra, SP Connect, or Topeak case fits the dimensions and lens location of a specific phone. An iPhone 14 Pro case will not fit a 14 Pro Max or a 15 Pro, and a Galaxy S20+ does not have the same case as an S20 Ultra. The page includes cases for recent phones as well as older models: it's often a good time to upgrade a phone that you plan to keep for a few years. If you are changing devices soon, prefer a universal mount that grips the phone, or an adapter to stick to the back of your current case.
Read the title before comparing two crossed-out prices, as a discount can only be compared if the items are the same and for the same phone. A "case only" means you already have the brand's mount; a "mount" without a case is meant for equipping a second bike; a "bundle" or "pack" includes both. A discounted bundle is only interesting if you don’t have any part of the system yet. Each brand has its own interface between the case and the mount: stick with the same system for both. Some items on the page are designed for cars or motorcycles, on the same interface: useful if you want to move the phone from the bike to the dashboard, but double-check that it's indeed a bike mount if that's your only use.
Mounted on the stem or in place of the top cap, the screen remains centered and the handlebars protect it in case of a fall. On the handlebars, check the diameter accepted by the collar. An offset mount places the screen in front of the handlebars, in line with your line of sight, a position preferred on the road. On an electric bike, make sure to keep space for the control screen. Detailed advice on choice and use is gathered on the bike phone mount page, open all year round.
Quad Lock locks the case with a quarter turn: it is presented slightly angled on the mount, rotated, and a push on the blue ring releases it. The same case can go from the stem mount to the car mount, and the Poncho cover protects it from the rain.
Tigra sells its FitClic Neo and Mountcase cases alone or with their mount, and offers offset mounts to bring the screen forward of the handlebars.
SP Connect combines cases and mounts in bundles according to the activity, such as Bike Bundle for cycling, Fitness or Multi Activity, and adds a universal SPC+ kit for a phone without the brand’s case.
Bone does not use a case: its Bike Tie in silicone grips the phone itself, making it independent of the model as long as the screen fits within the indicated range.
Topeak primarily offers RideCase cases for iPhone, a RideCase II mount that installs on the top cap, and waterproof DryBag pouches.
For battery life, a dedicated computer often lasts longer than a phone: check out the computers and GPS from Black Friday. For evening rides, the lighting kit completes the handlebars. After the sale, cases for older models go to the clearance and new ones to new arrivals; other categories are gathered on the electronics from Black Friday page.
The Highway Code prohibits cyclists from holding their phone in hand while riding. Mounted on a support, it can display a route; keep adjustments and messages for stops.
Yes, with a universal adapter stuck to the back of the case. It adheres to a flat and smooth surface but not on a silicone case, soft TPU, or very textured: check the material before ordering.
No, each system has its own interface. If you equip several bikes or a car, stay within the same brand and just add mounts.
A mechanically locked system stays put well over cobblestones as well as on a mountain bike, provided the mount is tight and the case is in good condition. A silicone mount is better suited for city rides.
The Black Friday itself is the Friday following Thanksgiving, and the event peaks on that day. At Vélo-Store, however, discounts on cases and mounts extend throughout November. On each promotional item, compare the crossed-out price and the displayed price, then check the exact model of the phone and the supplied mount.
