Power button in the middle 👎

[griffy42]

Most generic phone holders hold the phone in the middle. On the S22 this is right where the power button is. Best case scenario when I clip my phone in, it turns off my screen and I can't see my GPS. Worst case, the pinch plus the road bumps set off the emergency SOS and the alarm scares the 💩 out of me and I nearly crash my bike, or my phone calls 911 on me.

Thanks Samsung, I hate it.

Most generic phone holders / cradles know how most phone power buttons are laid out. 

The problem is getting the holder / cradle that doesn't work with Samsung..

S21, S22 & S23 all have the power button in pretty much the same place.

A) All of those seem to be centre-holding, right where the power button is.

B) none of the examples are for a bicycle handlebar.

None of the previous photos were center holding. 

Just try searching, even a little bit.

The first set are definitely centre holding, and that appears to be the default. A deeper dive will reveal the ones mentioned in the second comment, which are more expensive, don't include a light, and aren't necessarily available outside of the US.

My phone holder/bike light/horn has served me well through 2 previous phones until I bought an S22 with its poorly thought out power button and SOS emergency call settings.

I didn't, but I was done with RedDogRabbit's insinuations that I'm just not looking hard enough instead of recognizing the obvious design flaw.

I don't have this problem and my holder is similar. Most likely because I have a case on my phone so there is not enough pressure on the buttons to activate it. You are a brave cyclist if you ride no case

I ride with a case lol. My commute is semi-rural so there's a lot of flying gravel. I also ride with safety glasses on
