However, it is handy when calls come in, just in case it's important and I do need to stop (my phone is normally on silent).
This is also a good point. Once a week I'm on call after my normal working day until 9pm. I do usually go home as call outs are not too frequent, but have on occasion missed a call because I couldn't hear my phone in my pannier, got home and then realised and had to turn round and ride back to work!

Noooo!

I've only ever been called back to work once, and that was because a business owner in our building had lost their doorkeys, and were willing to risk leaving the main door open overnight.
So SPD's went back on, bike hauled back out and back on the road. But 30 minutes of my evening over x millions lost in data, hardware etc across our business is a small price to pay, plus helps me out.

I'll admit, you can miss things sometimes, but a call isn't one I miss. I turn the screen off once I've set the app, so it lights up when texts etc come in, but normally only calls get my attention as my focus is the road.

Btw, the mount is great, it holds the phone vertically on my stem, leaving the rest of the handlebar estate free for lights.

That's the one, I couldn't think of the name. Are they any good? Like the look of but need it to be immovable should I tumble

Sorry for the late response - yes - very good. The case is tight and unobtrusive on the phone and it stays on my phone most of the time, the mount can go anywhere on the bike using the usual rubber bands / zip ties and you can lock your phone in portrait or landscape. To release it you have to push down on the mounting bracket and twist 45' so it's not going to come off by accident.

I bought a couple of cheap ones off ebay/amazon and they pretty much went straight in the bin. The quadlock one hasnt left my bike

When I used my iPhone 5 for logging I had a quad lock case. It is very sturdy and I never once worried it might fall off. The rain cover works fine but it doesn't make the package completely waterproof. There are small holes in the rear around where the locking mechanism is formed, but I never had an issue of water getting in there.

I also got the car mount and a stick on quad lock back for my waterproof Motorola defy mini.

I can recommend them.

Quadlock themselves ship from the uk and if you sign up to their Facebook page or newsletter there are usually coupons floating about for discounts.
I've ordered on three separate occasions and always got my item within a couple of days
