How thick of a phone can this mount hold? I have a S3 phone with extended battery & case so it's like an inch thick. The Mountek couldn't hold it.

It holds my iPhone 4s while in its case. I am almost positive it would hold a Galaxy. I dont know what extended battery and case bring to the mix though. Maybe send question directly to manufacturer?

I think it should be able to hold it with no problem. My iPod and case is over 1/2 inch thick, and the holder swivels so it can be holding it at an angle.

I am uncertain as that is not the phone I have, but I do find the pressure that it provides when holding my phone is substantial.The sides have a pressure release which tightens when you place the phone in it. I cannot imagine that wouldn't hold any type phone.

The mount is uber-strong. I would be more concerned about what you use to attach the mount to your bike. That would be the weak point, not the mount itself. The phone will not come out of the mount, but need to focus on how to attach to your bike. Enjoy.

It is quite thick, because youre not only adding the battery, but the case as well. It probably doubles the thickness of the phone. However I havnt had a problem with it.

No, I haven't. But, looking at the extended battery back cover for the galaxy s3, I don't think this cover would work for you. The phone already fits so snugly into the brackets, I don't see how there would be enough room for anything on the back of the phone and still get it to fit.

I have a Samsung S3 smart phone. With my phone, car key and remote car opener, the case is 1 and 1/2 inches thick.

This is a very secure way to hold the S4...I do this with the addition of a grip connector...I bought this : RAM UNPAINTED RAM MOUNT WITH SUCTION X GRIP and it works on my Harley for daily commutes, in my car for GPS use, etc...

To be honest with you, I couldn't answer this. My s4 has a slim cover on it and it is a bit tight, but I would rather that then having it loose. Go on line and compare the dimensions of the S4 and your model, or contact the manufacturer of th mount. I love the mount. Good luck. Bill

Jeni, The mount should fit a 3.1" phone, and if it doesn't (because the case is very thick, e.g.), please return it for a full refund including shipping. It is hard to spec the exact width of phones because of the V-shaped groove. For slim cases, even 3.2" or larger phones will fit just fine. For thick cases like the Otterbox, maximum width will have to reduced accordingly. Hope this helps.

The tip may be too thick. On the S3 it was. You can shave the tip a bit so it can fit.

If you have a thinner case it should work just fine, the sides of the mount can bend a bit too to fit your phone if there is a bigger case but it would be more cumbersome to put it on the mount

I ended up not using this mount because it didn't fit my bike handle. The phone mount was nice however. 2.8" x 5.4" without case. I use a soft rubber case that makes the width 2.95". Be careful because some mounts are made for the GS4 which is thinner (with less battery). Hope this helps.

I had my phone in an Otterbox Defender and it worked just fine. The 'wings' on the mount have thick foam on them and you push the wings in to pinch the phone on place.

This mount will work with the Samsung S4! The arm would extend as wide as 3 inches and would hold your phone tightly. I haven't tested the S4 with the Otterbox case, please measure your phone & case and if it is 3 inches wide - then you should be good to go!

I use it with a Samsung S3 on my Land Rover Discovery both "on road" and off road situations.It holds the phone very well. Not one problem.Don't know the size of your gps, but I guess it shouldn't have any problems holding a standard size car gps (4,3"?).

While that's a bit thicker than it is designed for if it really is 1" thick (the X-Grips are spec'd up to 0.875"), I did just put both my Note 3 in its Spigen Neo Hybrid case AND my TYLT VU charger (which is 0.5" thick by itself) on it together, which combined is very very close to 1", and it held those. Also, the little rubbery grips can be slid off the prongs just a bit to give it extra holding depth.

My phone has an otter box and measures 3" pretty much exactly. It works fine with it. Because its a bigger phone I generally need to spread the base a bit to support the top-heavy nature of the system. I've even wrapped it around a pine tree on one hike, wedged it onto a rock sort of sideways - always manage to get it to do the job.
