Pretty ok
Does what it needs to do
Pros & Cons

Good holder and bell at once.
I first had an older version, but have put this edition on my new bike. The bell lever is more practical and the bell much louder. Only in wet weather does it sometimes not sound as loud. Needless to say, the GPS holder also works perfectly.

Good idea, execution almost perfect
Top idea, execution not perfect. Materials feel a bit cheap and plastic. Fine ringing sound and use of the bell is also top. When changing adapters, you also have to unscrew the bell because the nuts at the bottom are loose and therefore fall into the bell.

Completely in line with expectations

Just right .
Fits well on the handlebars and the garmin is secure. You do have one hand free from the handlebars to call

top bubble
clearly this is the best choice for cyclists not riding in a pro peloton. you will have to make a call anyway, then this is an excellent choice. not too loud and not too soft

Good product but best to put extra thin rubbers on the mounting.
A long drive with bumpy lanes leaves the mount lowered after still tightening it firmly but not wanting to break down.

Affordable navigation holder to hide your bell.
After I tightened the socket bolt a further turn after the first ride, the holder sat neatly and firmly on the handlebars. Turning the navigation on takes some getting used to, but after a few times it goes smoothly. The Navi sits a bit looser on the holder than I was used to, but despite bumpy cobblestone roads it stays nicely in place. Be careful with pressing the side buttons, because before you know it your navigation is on the street. (You twist it right off). Bell I easy to find and clearly audible. At least those cyclists won't just move aside. ;)

Does what it is supposed to do, functional, convenient and beautiful.
The navigation holder largely looks like the original from Garmin that came with my Edge 530. However, this one obviously has the hidden bike bell, and I did like the blue color of the holder (part where you click the navigation in) to match the caps of my front fork on my bike. Other than that, it's just a good holder. I did find that the rubber on the part where you screw it onto the handlebar was minimal. There is only 1 small piece of rubber for anti-slip and handlebar protection. The rest of the holder is just bare plastic. I didn't find this sufficient so I added another thin layer of anti-slip material in between. This way the holder stays in place even better and my handlebars are protected from scratches. For the money you pay for this holder, I expected more at this point.

Well on your way with a bell in traffic.
My previous HideMyBell of several years old already, the plastic hinge had broken off....
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Solid combo
After the first one unfortunately broke off on the hinge I got a new one Assembly is better because the socket screw is now at the top Unfortunately there is no rubber that could damage the handlebar Placing the garmin nav is just fine

Too bad about the attachment on a carbon handlebar
Unlike the original Garmin mount give rubber between the handlebar mount which makes attaching to a carbon handlebar difficult.

good product at competitive price
nice product, however I had to look for an attachment myself to mount the adaptor on my bike handlebars as the diameter did not match
