iPhone mount

[vickster]

What's the best piece of kit to attach an iPhone securely to a bike - preferably to the handlebars rather than the stem as the cateye is already on the stem and I would rather avoid the faff of shifting (unless needs must)

This one looks ok and I have a CS voucher http://www.cyclesurgery.com/pws/UniqueProductKey.ice?ProductID=CBIK0001KK

...although can get elsewhere for much less

You could try a Spiderpodium (check Amazon) but zip tie it to the bars for extra security.

pannier bag ...

Pannier bag? I have one but my x-ray vision only works when I am facing forwards not backwards

Any more sensible suggestions I don't think the spider podium is right - would like something waterproof and protective

Topeak ridecase - mounts on the stem cap. Does mean you'd need to move your cateye a bit, but I can vouch for it keeping the iPhone in place for the five months I've had it. Also survived an "off" (bike & rider separation, not iPhone & mount) without issue. Comes with a rubberized cover for foul weather (still touch-senitive). Also bought the £6 handlebar bracket for the wet weather bike.

How does it mount? Do you have to buy a bracket too? Stemcap is which bit exactly? Thanks

OK, I get it having found a proper piccie http://www.topeak.com/products/Bags/ridecase

Looks cool, cheers - except have to peel off the protective film which isn't ideal

Who says i was not being sensible, my phone in my bag as anyone that desperate to call me on my mobile can wait the few seconds its going to take to stop and dig it out .....

 

[vickster]

Fair enough. But it's to be able to use it as a GPS, not as a phone, heaven forbid

You should be fine with film- the kit includes a plastic 'fibre-look' backing sheet which serves only a cosmetic purpose. The plastic "frame" clips over the device easily & securely, and I tend to leave it on 24/7, as it doesn't block the cable for recharging/syncing. Only niggle is that if placed on a surface, pressing the home button will cause the device to rock, as the back is not flat.
