where the hate is coming from.
hate? I think Amey was fairly tongue in cheek and I'm an actual user of the thing in question.
I have a Spigen case currently and haven't bothered to stick a Garmin mount to it: because the phone is bigger and because my 1030+ lasts long enough and has so far been reliable enough that I'm not having to navigate using my phone (much). It'd be a nice to have still but I don't really want to add more bulk to the case.

Well, I don't get where the hate is coming from. Since becoming a parent I don't ride as far and the power on my phone is fine for both navigation and photos on sub 100km rides.
The case itself is mega sturdy and has prevented multiple cracked screens (I imagine). And it works on all our bikes and in the car... So I can't see what's not to love. Yes it is expensive and yes you have to pay extra to get black mounts. But it's still way cheaper than buying a nice cycling specific device+ good impact proof phone cage + something to hold the phone in the outdated Renault.
