Thats the issue! these are made and 99% of the time sold via the Chinese market and if they are in the UK they are the same as the link I posted but you pay for that privilege

I see the links above have expired, but any caveats about these nav prep mounted holders?

Link to a wireless Amazon one: https://amzn.eu/d/hZHn1ss

Thanks all.

I have one and use it. Mine is with inductive charging.
Works well with Samsung S10e phone, however...

I have removed my phone from normal case and since using it in the linked cradle, my screen developed slowly creeping HW fault that I'll be trying to repair soon.

I am not blaming the phone holder, as correlation is not causation, but I am already stretching the springs in the phone mount and I'll be getting my phone back into a tougher case.

Apart from that, the induction charging fills the battery while goole maps are on, Bluetooth and GPS logger app is running
And so.etimes even music is playing.
I had no issues with weather, but I didn't ride through heav prolonged rain.
I am here to learn.
