Is it the bike’s engine vibration that’s causing the issue when it happens, or vibration from the road? Peak Design has a small selection of motorcycle mounts for its range of phone cases, though some of the prices are quite high. The maximum acceleration occurring is reduced across the entire spectrum. This means that the peak values of all vibration frequencies are reduced, not only in the range of 30-60Hz. The new SPC+ design might be a little more fiddly to attach, but try as I might, I can’t get it to attach anything other than totally securely. It’s slimmer, stronger and MagSafe compatible, but most importantly, the new SPC+ is much more secure.

Wireless charging works fine with the new cases, and the MagSafe compatibility means a suitable charger can snap into place, rather than having to hunt around for the sweet spot. I should say though that performance might depend on your phone – my Galaxy S21 will easily juice up wirelessly with its case on – even with a cheap charger I bought from the Pound Shop – but my Pixel 7 Pro seems to be very unreliable with wireless charging. This is a fault of the Google device though, not SP Connect, and problems appear well documented online . Based purely on anecdotal evidence, I’ve long had a theory that it’s mainly Apple devices that have a problem with vibration on bikes, but when I bought my Pixel 7 Pro I was worried about the telephoto lens, which rattles when you shake it. I’m pleased to say though that after several months on my R1250GS (using the Anti-Vibration Charging Mount), I’ve had no problems at all, and my S21 (and previous S20) were mounted direct to various bikes without any issue other than that day on a W800. I really can’t stress enough just how much slimmer the SP Connect SPC+ case feels, and I should point out too that the buttons are very easy to press still, thanks to slots cut around them that help them move easily – a pricey ZAGG case I had before was much more intrusive thanks to a less considered design. So far, over 95% of the issues involve Apple smartphones. Of these, mostly devices in the iPhone X, 11 and 12 series are affected (there are no issues with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which has an OIS design called Sensor-Shift OIS). Issues associated with the iPhone 13 series are very rare. No issues have been reported with the iPhone 14 series. (All models of the iPhone 13 & 14 series use sensor-shift OIS.)

While new new SP Connect SPC+ system can be a little more fiddly to mount than the previous vesion, it is much more secure. The vibrations from the motorcycle engine cause the impairment – the vibrations from the road are not an issue as they are too volatile. My Samsung Galaxy S21 has no such issues, immediately entering fast wireless charging mode when used with a QC 3.0 cigarette lighter adaptor. There’s nothing wrong with this mount, but be aware that Google’s Pixel at least can be very awkward when it comes to wireless charging.

Problems with my Pixel 7 Pro’s wireless charging are very noticeable here, and I have seen it losing power despite being correctly mounted while using Google maps. As I haven’t been able to find a cure yet, I wouldn’t recommend this for a Google phone (and would be cautious when buying any wireless charger). This does not appear to be a problem related to the SP Connect cases, or specific to the Charging Suction Mount, and the wireless charger with hard wire kit I have on the bike is fine with the Google device.

QUICK & SECURE SMARTPHONE MOUNTING

Mous has also developed a range of motorcycle mounts to suit its cases, though options are rather limited for now, and prices seem to be on the high side.

This happened because, with the previous SPC mount design, it was possible to locate only one of the lugs when fitting. If you didn’t realise, the phone could shake loose, so it was important to take care when fitting your phone.

Design Your Own Disclaimer

When fitting you’ll need to decide whether you want to have your phone in a horizontal or vertical position, as apart from on the universal mount, you can’t change it without unscrewing it due to the way the phone attaches with a 90° twist. Most of the mounts have adjustment in 6° increments, so you should be able to get your phone to sit straight to most parts of the bike.
