Sunshade GPS Case with handlebar mount (Large)

I was originally sceptical because I ordered the 6 inch version but kept coming up with the 5. Needn’t have worried sat navy fits perfectly using the supplied infils. Great bit of kit. Good quality and not only waterproof but a sunshade as well. Exceptionally good value for money. Will be getting another one for my iphone 12PM which also fits perfectly.

I really liked this bike sat-nav holder from the start, it is fairly sturdy and bolts onto the handlebars really neatly and was easy to install. The only issue I had was, when going at speed (i.e. on the motorway) it tends to flop backwards with the wind pressure. However, I soon solved this by threading a strongish (medium size) cable tie through the exit hole meant for the sat nav power supply cable at the bottom of the case, and in-between the two thoughtfully provided zips nearly joined together at the top. This held the sat nav in place 98% of the time so I could see the screen. There were no issues with water ingress, even with the zips not quite touching at the top (to allow the cable tie to thread through the case and round the handlbars), and whilst going at maximum speed in torrential rain for hours on the motorway.

I've used this on my 2019 CB500X. I bought this to hold a GPS for longer journeys and tours, I don't have the cash for a full motorcycle GPS so opted for this and a secondhand tomtom. I did use my phone for a while but on longer journeys my battery would eventually fail on me.The case sits well on a dedicated GPS bar on the bike, I did use an old bicycle inner tube to make the bar wide enough to take the case as the fitting does not go that small. I believe its made for a standard handlebar.The tomtom is a 5inch screen and fits in the case very well, the padding that came supplied with it meant I could snugly fit it with no movement. I did, however, have to cut the foam to fit the charging point and the waterproof wire exit meant the charging cable would hang over my speedo. The wire now hangs out the side through the zips, it does not seem to have greatly impacted the water resistance though.Overall the case is really good, I will say that in bright light there is some glare, but that could be due to the position I have it in. I would also say that the touch screen cover has meant I can use this with gloves and that's a big plus. If you don't have the cash or willingness to spend the money for a dedicated motorcycle GPS this is a great way of setting it up.

It's simple to fit, secure and solid. After 750 plus miles over all roads it still sits just where I put it.The only problem I've noted was a very slight ingress of water, either that or condensation formed inside. That was just the onceMy bike lives outdoors, no cover or shelter. It's a form of transport in every weather, it needs to live where it works. Outside, in every weather.The case is easy to use, once you have the viewing angle sorted it's good. I could have gotten away with the next size down, my phone is 6.5x3x0.5 inch in it's usual case. The inserts are simple to remove as needed, or as I did, just slice a piece off of one to keep the phone higher in the case. There's plenty of room for me to add a brick (2 inch thick) battery pack to keep the phone charged as it's running google maps as my satnav. (I use the brick to charge my mobile, camera and lights when hiking, so I wanted a case that could hold it as well as my phone)All in all, it's good enough.

First off the product itself is brilliant. It keeps the GPS shaded and doesn't get in the way of my dashboard. It feels secure on handle bars as it uses 2 screws to tighten a padded guided grip and easy to take off when get to the shops with a hand screw securing it on the ball joint meaning I'm not worried about it popping off unexpectedly but it's still easy to remove in 30s when I want it to. I haven't had a chance to try it out in the rain yet but it seams it would definitely hold its own form the construction. Only slightly negative thing is the charging cable enters from the bottom (the plug is at the back on my GPS) so I can't easily charge it on the go, however this is not a huge problem as 5 minutes work on the foam should be able to fix this problem.

Over the last decade I’ve had quite a few of these cases.I have only ever used them on my bicycle.There is plenty of room inside for my Tom Tom and a back up battery to trickle charge it. It comes with packers of varying thicknesses to keep sat nav from moving around.From my experience the best way I’ve found to mount this case to my bicycle is as follows.Don’t use the mounting provided instead.Remove the plate from the rear of the case, this is held on by 4 cross head screws located inside the case. Take out the screws. Get 2 cable ties, use the screwdriver if needed to reamer the holes for the ties and attach the case to the bike as shown in the photos. The reason I do do it this way is because,The first case I ever had I fixed to my handlebars as per the instructions using the mounts provided, the case used to clip in and out of the mount. The first bump I went over the case complete with my new Tom Tom detached itself from the mount hit the road and just for good measure I ran over it with my rear wheel. Thankfully there was no damage. I glued the case to the mount, this stopped it reoccurring but I could never get the mount tight enough to stop the case from falling forwards. Since attaching the case this way I’ve had no problems of the case moving.I’ve found that after time the tabs on the zip fasteners break and it’s a pain using my thumb nail to push the zip fastener. I overcame this by using a thin cable tie thread it through the hole in the fastener zip the tie up don’t cut the end too short and use this to pull the fastener.I’ve been out in all types of weather including torrential downpours I can say that this case definitely keeps the water out.To summarise, I would definitely recommend this case and this supplier.
