How does it hold up in constant rough terrain? (i.e. mountain biking)

I do not ride rough terrain, but I would be comfortable giving it a try. I would especially consider using this holder coupled with a sturdy case in your situation.

My wife and I use ours on fairly rough paved trail riding. Lots of cracks and bumps we hit at 20 mph or so. Our phones (in our cases even) don't pop loose. Also, the ball mount swivel thing seems sturdy enough not to change position. Over time it may loosen (that's my worry) but that is only speculation. Haven't had any problems with ours. Make sure your phone is clamped in tight.

Used ours for an extended trip recently. It held up fine to all weather including rain and hail.

I have ridden a few times in the rain with it with no problems. Though I have to say the rain was light and may not have really tested it.

Yes. Been all over with me thousands of miles. Dirt biking through Moab, hiking, trail running, mountain biking, boating. No signs of giving up

It stays in place just fine for me. I don't use it on off road terrain very often. I'm more of a bike path type rider. It's very adjustable and doesn't seem to be wobbly or loose at all.

i've found it to be very durable ... no signs if strain. I do not, however, carry that kind of weight in my bag. Have you considered saddle bags and a mule? ;-)

It is light compared to other backpacks of the same thread. Also, with the 70+ miles of mountainous terrain I've put this thing through, it has proven resilient and has not given me any problems.

It is surprisingly durable. I am very rough with my gear and tend to over-stuff. I used this bag daily for an entire semester, as well as weekend trips and the only issue I've had is that one of the buttons has come loose. It is very well made and very durable.

Have not had any issues with durability. My father inlaw takes it with him to his jobs, hes a roofer, and his is still going strong. It may be a bit dirty but no problems with the durability.

I have used it on long distance back country mountain bike rides. It works very well. I would caution you as there is a lot of room and the pack can get heavy quick if you use it all.

Yes it's very durable. I hit a few rocks and some minor rapids and it handled it just fine.

I would say it is pretty durable. I wouldn't wade through thorn bushes, but I think for everyday activities it does nicely.

I'm a roadie, so mine doesn't get the wear and tear of a mountaineer, as mentioned by Polarbeadr. I DO have a little trouble with the zipper SOMETIMES. For me, the only REAL problem is that although it is a medium size bag which DOES expand, it's still a little small to carry all my junk, which includes otc reading glasses, patch kit, co 2, pressure gauge and Tire Lever Set. I'm sure I have 1 or 2 other things in there, too. Just can't think of them right now. I must also mention that I have had mine for three YEARS! I must be very gentle!!For someone who does not need much capacity and feels that his rides would not be too rough, I would recommend it.

I just use it on the road but have gone through rough rides where it was fine. I do check the tightness occasionally just to be sure.

It has lasted me over one year of hard, urban riding almost every day, including during the winter in the Pacific Northwest of the US. It's good for flats, but not for steeps since its turning radius is limited by the smaller wheels under the board. It is an awesome looking board.

It has held up fine for me on rough terrain, it gave me enough room to put a bigger tires on, and now it's a mean off roaring machine in my mind.

I bought it for a friends bike that I was setting up for him. It seemed plenty sturdy and well made, however I would not recommend for extreme mountain biking etc!
