Camera assessories (tripod mount & remote control) - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

Last month, after buying a time lapse camera app, I ordered a tripod head mount and remote control. for my HAM2 I have several DSL cameras and have a nice tripod as well as a monopod for hikes and situations where I can't set up a tripod but need stabilization. I got both items from Amazon and have to say they're good quality and work well. The documentation on the remote control indicated that you might have to download camera360 if it didn't work with the OEM camera. Fortunately, it works with the OEM HAM2 camera software and my time lapse camera.; however, rather tan pressing the "Android button" (this remote works for both Android and IOS), you press the IOS button. The photos I've posted show the tripod mount on my monopod--I was playing around to see about tilting to use as a "selfie stick"--it does. If you used Skype, you could use it on a desktop tripod to have hand-free Skype conversations.

If you're interested in looking at the product info on Amazon, here are links (FYI--the remote has been designed and now has a rechargeable LION battery, not a button cell that requires the remote to be taken apart to insert; reviews criticized how flimsy the remote felt when doing that).

Can this be used with a case also, does it grip well (will it dislodge from the mount if shaken a lot, have you tested shaking it)? I'm wanting to find a good mount for bicycle handlebar but looks like a tripod mount might be good for biking (so can either have camera or HAM2 attached to it). I've found one other possible mounting option apart from a tripod screw but looks like it'll fall apart after a few bumps.
Looking at a Cyclops case plus this said mount perhaps. There aren't a lot of reviews on Amazon, and there are about 2 or 3 likely candidates for this device (selection is limited, and every mount pretty much looks the exact same design-wise, so in reality, only one case will fit ).

Just realized that unlike the other mounts, this one doesn't have side-protectors so it wouldn't be good for biking (though could probably modify side-mounts). But still would like to know how these are with movement/shock if you've tested it extensively.

I've been happy with the stability of this mount when hiking or just taking photos or video when I need stability. I've left my leather case on and it will hold well. However, as warm weather approaches, I may get a hard case for long hikes because I don't want to ruin my leather case by leaving it in the mount for a long period (it really does hold the phone snuggly). Although on bike mounts--I do mountain bike and finally made my own mount using a Velbon quick release mount on my handlebars with an Olympus rugged./waterproof small camera. I'm very happy with it. It's stable.--I don't think I'd try any cell phone camera mount. on a bike, it took me about 2 months playing around to find the most stable mount for my bike. Good luck.
