Handleband - Universal Smartphone Bar Mount

I am looking for a bike mount for my iPhone 6 Plus as well.

This universal holder might work: Handleband - Universal Smartphone Bar Mount

It dropped my phone twice. My phone is OK. The second time, the device broke entirely. No good at all. Both drops happened as a result of regular road vibrations.

@mmbiker, that doesn't look good. First, there should be redundancy, because these phones are expensive and therefore hard to replace. Second, a rubber band is inconvenient to use every time and easy to install wrong when you think you've got it right. Third, it blocks part of the phone's screen.

I'm frustrated. I've tried about five mounts and spent a fair bit of money on them, and none of them is good enough.

Quadlock is the best solution for iPhones. They also have cases for some Samsung devices but there is always a universal adaptor...
I currently use the out front mount (it replaced the basic bike mount almost from the day it was available) with the iPhone 6/6s plus case (last year I used a 6 plus iPhone and this year the 6s plus - same case). I have installed the out front mount backwards so that the device is just above the stem...

Yeah, I should have bought that in the first place. I'm so cheap that I cost myself lots of money trying to find cheap alternatives.
