I'm on an Allant 8S and have had the same problem with the smart hub. Hit a pot hole and the phone goes airborne, saved only by charge cord. It seems they ought to design a lock mechanism to the spring mount that prevents it from accidentally opening during a ride. I also have the issue with the power button being pressed by the mount which triggers Siri to ask me what I want while I'm riding. I've had to learn to disable Siri before a ride. Frustrating.

glad they had not come out with the smartphone hub general release yet I just bought the kiox upgrade.
here is a photo with the quad lock on the handle bar...I think so far this is the best option I have found being that I have the iPhone 11Max... the phone sits perfectly in my view to use the navigation or see my speed or anything I need to look at... only downfall is now I need a long enough cable if I want to charge the phone.

I have the same set up and works great, phone is stable, no fall offs on rough terrain.

this is an update -
the top of my mount cracked (see photo). I tried emailing the trek store where I bought it, no response. I went to a local trek store to inquire and they said it wouldn’t be under warranty. I bought the bike 5 weeks ago. The guy gave me a piece of Velcro to hold my phone on. Velcro. For a 5 week old bike. When I asked about switching it for the mount with a case he said he’d never heard of it. Who are these people that the shops hire? I have to say, with all honesty, after $4k for this bike and the problems I’ve had with trek, it will be my last purchase with them. I’ll graduate to a better brand.

Yes, it's the phone mount. Thank you for offering, but I want to get them to switch the type of mount since this cannot seem to handle a simple iPhone 11 sans case. Wish me luck!
no problem. If you change your mind give me a holler... I would recommend maybe going a different style mount I have the 11 plus and I flipped the hub upside down and just use quad lock to hold my phone. Much safer in my opinion, phone doesn’t fall out when I hit bumps or small pot holes. Really the only option right now to save your phone from what I’ve been researching... I was thinking of getting the new nyon display once it comes out depending on the cost. Good luck and let is know the outcome !
