Keep Your Phone Secure When the Road Gets Rough
The A-Tach Rugged Phone Holder is designed for drivers and riders who need more physical support than a conventional magnetic or adjustable holder provides.
Its locking design grips the phone from multiple sides to help keep it in place during vibration, bumps and rough-road travel. It is an excellent choice for compatible phones used on:
ATVs
UTVs and side-by-sides
Motorcycles
Bicycles and electric bikes
Golf carts
Electric scooters
Work trucks
Off-road and recreational vehicles
Cars and trucks regularly driven on rough roads
The holder can attach to an A-Tach vehicle-specific dash mount or a compatible ATV, UTV, motorcycle or bicycle bar mount.
Important: This product includes the rugged device holder only. The vehicle-specific dash mount or compatible bar mount is selected and purchased separately.
Installation Instructions
Please review the Universal Phone Holder Installation Instructions before attaching the holder to your A-Tach vehicle-specific dash mount.

Is This Rugged Holder Right for You?
This holder is best for customers who place a higher priority on secure physical retention than quick one-handed phone removal.
Choose the Rugged Phone Holder when:
You regularly travel over rough or uneven terrain
You want physical support on multiple sides of the phone
You use an ATV, UTV, motorcycle, bicycle or similar vehicle
A magnetic holder does not provide the type of retention you prefer
Your phone or case does not contain a compatible magnetic ring
You want the holder to tighten and lock around the device
Because the holder is secured around the phone with two hands, A-Tach’s other phone holders may be more convenient for ordinary daily driving where frequent one-handed phone attachment and removal are important.
Measure Your Phone and Case Before Ordering
Phone model names alone do not determine compatibility. You must measure the phone while it is inside the case you intend to use.
The complete phone-and-case combination must fall within all three of these ranges:
Width: 2½–3¼ inches (63.5–82.55 mm)
Height: 4?–6? inches (120–170 mm)
Maximum thickness: 9/16 inch (15 mm)
Cases can add substantial height, width and thickness to a phone. Rugged cases, wallet cases, kickstands, finger grips and battery cases may cause the complete device to exceed the holder’s limits.
Measure the device at its widest, tallest and thickest points before ordering.
Designed for Phones With Protective Cases
Many customers who travel on rough roads protect their phones with rugged or impact-resistant cases. This holder can accommodate many cased phones when the complete dimensions remain within its adjustment range.
Before ordering, check for:
The phone should sit evenly inside the holder without forcing the retaining arms beyond their intended range.
Locking Retention for Bumpy Conditions
The holder tightens around the phone to provide a secure physical grip. Unlike a magnetic holder, it does not depend on the magnetic strength of the phone or case.
This makes it useful for devices that:
Do not have MagSafe or Qi2 magnetic compatibility
Use a case without a built-in magnetic ring
Are used where increased vibration is expected
Need additional physical retention during rough-road travel
Always confirm that the holder is fully tightened and the phone is securely seated before operating the vehicle.
Strong Metal 17 mm Ball Adapter
The holder now includes a metal 17 mm ball adapter for increased strength at the adjustment point.
The swivel assembly lets you tilt and rotate the holder to position the screen for visibility. Once the desired angle is selected, tighten the adjustment ring to help lock the holder in place.
The adjustable design provides:
Multiple viewing angles
Portrait or landscape positioning
360-degree rotation
A metal 17 mm ball connection
A tightening ring to secure the selected position
Keep Your Charging Port Accessible
The open holder design keeps the phone’s charging port accessible for a compatible charging cable.
This holder does not provide wireless charging. If you need charging during use, connect the phone to an appropriate charging cable and power source.
Route the cable so it cannot become tangled in the handlebars, controls, steering components or other moving parts.
Vehicle-Specific Mounting for Cars and Trucks
When using the Rugged Phone Holder in a car, truck or van, pair it with an A-Tach dash mount designed for your vehicle’s exact year, make, model and dashboard configuration.
A-Tach’s two-part system allows you to select each component separately:
Choose the rugged holder based on your phone, case and intended use.
Choose the dash mount designed for your exact vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle, A-Tach dash mounts attach to existing dashboard seams or trim without drilling holes into the dashboard. They do not rely on a windshield suction cup or air-vent clip.
A-Tach vehicle-specific dash mounts are manufactured in the USA by a veteran-owned company.
Bar-Mount Options for Recreational Vehicles
For ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, bicycles, scooters and similar applications, pair the holder with a compatible A-Tach bar mount.
Confirm that the selected bar mount fits the diameter and shape of your vehicle’s mounting bar or handlebar. The bar mount is not included with this holder and must be ordered separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holder fit my phone?
It fits phones and cases within the following dimensions:
Measure your phone while it is inside its case. The phone model alone is not enough to confirm compatibility.
Will it fit a phone with a rugged case?
It can fit many rugged cases, provided the complete phone-and-case combination stays within all three dimensional limits.
Pay particular attention to raised corners, kickstands, camera guards and other areas that increase the case’s overall size.
Why does the phone need to be measured inside its case?
A case changes the phone’s height, width and thickness. Two customers using the same phone may require different holders because their cases have different dimensions.
Is this holder magnetic?
No. It physically grips and locks around the phone. It does not require a magnetic phone, MagSafe case or adapter ring.
Does it provide wireless charging?
No. This is a non-charging holder. The phone’s charging port remains accessible for a compatible cable.
Can I attach and remove the phone with one hand?
This holder is designed to be secured with two hands. Its priority is firm physical retention during rough-road use.
If quick one-handed attachment is more important, consider an A-Tach magnetic or standard adjustable holder.
Is it suitable for ordinary cars and trucks?
Yes, when paired with a compatible A-Tach vehicle-specific dash mount. However, customers who drive primarily on paved roads may find another A-Tach holder more convenient for everyday use.
Is it suitable for motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs?
Yes. These are among the applications for which the holder is particularly well suited. A compatible bar mount is required and purchased separately.
Does it include a vehicle or bar mount?
No. This product includes the device holder and its adjustment components. The vehicle-specific dash mount or compatible bar mount must be selected separately.
Can the phone be positioned horizontally?
Yes. The swivel provides 360-degree rotation, allowing portrait or landscape positioning.
Can I reuse the holder on another vehicle?
In many cases, yes. Its AMPS hole-pattern base can attach to many compatible mounting platforms. You may only need a different vehicle-specific dash mount or bar mount for the new application.
Is any phone holder guaranteed to prevent a phone from coming loose?
No holder can guarantee retention under every impact, collision, jump or extreme off-road condition. Proper fit, installation and tightening should be checked before each use.
