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cheaper than buying a nice cycling specific device+ good impact proof phone cage + something to hold the phone in the outdated Renault.
Getting a quad lock case has made my touring way better. It is a bit fiddly having two mounts on my bars (quad lock and etrex) but I can't see anything that does both.
Etrex gets you to town, phone gets you around town.
Also useful if you're in a new city or going somewhere you've not been before.
