NG Sports universal smartphone holder in the test: NG Sports from Fürth offer smart parts for everything to do with bicycles. A simple solution for attaching your smartphone is the universal holder made of elastic silicone.
A smartphone holder that consists of one piece and can also be flexibly attached in several places without tools sounds like an ideal holder. It can also be had for little money. NG Sports rely on high-quality, durable silicone that is supposed to work even at minus 20 degrees Celsius. The material should also have damping properties and thus protect the smartphone from external vibrations. The holder is designed for smartphones up to a diagonal size of 7,2 inches or 18,3 cm.
Highly durable silicone ensures a good grip
When it comes to mounting, it doesn't matter whether the smartphone is inserted into the holder first or the holder is attached to the bike. Both can be done in no time. For mounting on the bike, the holder can be attached to the handlebars in portrait format or to the stem in landscape format. Depending on the frame width, mounting on the top tube is also possible. To do this, simply place the silicone strap around the appropriate area and snap it into the buckle like a belt. The durable silicone allows the holder to be tensioned well, and at the same time the silicone generates enough grip so that the holder cannot slip.

Very good cushioning properties
On our test drive over gravel and forest paths, we were able to convince ourselves of the vibration protection mentioned. The smartphone sits firmly and securely in the holder and does not start to rock. The holder itself also stays in its position and does not twist on the handlebars due to the vibrations. The only downside is that the corners of the smartphone are covered by the straps. However, this limitation must be accepted with most universal holders.
