No need for (slightly) expensive phone mount...

[NeoCaesar]

Here's a tip to help the frugal-minded out there...

I usually use my phone for GPS but just tuck it away in my saddle bag and rely on my Cateye to give me the live information that I need. Unfortunately I had the upsetting experience of watching my Cateye being crushed under the wheels of a car after it had shaken itself free of it's mount. So this left me in need of a cycle computer. I have an armband to hold my phone when running which with a little bit of extra wrapping and tying neatly attached my phone to my stem. The case was £3.99 from Sports Direct and much more friendly on my wallet than the £30 phone-specific one I had my eye on. Bargain.

I've just bought one of these:

Don't know if I'll use it though as its a bit big.

I've seen these and not only do they look a bit cumbersome but they lack any type of waterproofing. £4.99 is pretty reasonable though...

I use one of these for my phone (iPhone):

Has the added advantage of allowing the phone touchscreen to be used through the plastic. Can't beat that for less than £2.50.

Haha, is that a DVD player? Definitely the most responsible and safest thing I have seen all day...
