Whatever the case, you are going to need a solid mount to keep your iPhone safe and sound while you keep your eyes on the road.

TOO expensive!
What sleek bicycle mount do you offer that would take a MiLi powerpack with iPhone in it?
The MiLi powerpack with iPhone in it measures 134mm x 65mm x 20mm
I look forward to your advice.
Thanks
Don't forget the Ibera offering: http://www.ibera.info/products/handheld/PB3.htm
Agreed, the Ibera does a good and is reasonably priced.
Where can I buy an Ibera?
I'd say you missed something, namely WHY are these the best? Did you actually take them out on rides? Describe the ride. Describe how easy or hard the phone is to get in/out. Talk about how easy it is to use the phone in the case. Tell us how it fared in the rain. Tell us how it fared on your mountain bike vs. your road bike. It's fine to describe how the mount fits on the stem or handlbar, but that's not the only useful criteria for "best." This isn't the "6 Best iPhone Bicycle Mounts For Outdoors", it's "An Advertisement for Six Different iPhone Bike Mounts."
I agree – this review tells me nothing. I want to get a bike mount for my iPhone yet all this has done is given me 6 options that I have to enter into Google and search elsewhere for information.
Paul. This was not intended to be a review piece. But we do intend to post those reviews shortly so hopefully we can link to them from here.
not even 6 different ones – looks like at least 2 are the same or very similar
I tried the goride and the mounting broke within a month of light use on-road only. I emailed the company with photos of the break three times and got NO response – avoid this one.
I also purchased the goride and it broke on my first ride, on-road use only as well. The goride has a case that fits over plastic 'wings' on the mount and you swivel to secure into place, but the 'wings' snapped off on the first ride. Luckily the phone didn't fall off the mount but i could hear the broken plastic rattling inside the case. I took a photo of the broken mount and sent to goride and they sent me a replacement, but i haven't used it. no longer willing to risk my $200 phone with the $30 case.
Where did you buy it from if I may ask? And did you call 866 Go Ride4?
you can do your own mount-ipad-bike

they look pretty good, my only issue is that they don't do a waterproof version for the iphone… and, as this the UK, we need waterproofing..

Have you actually tested any of this mount yourself? You still didn't tell me why these mount are the best mount.
We have David. We are working on video for these but it is taking longer than expected 🙁
Dilema, I have my iPhone 4 encased in an OtterBox and would like to mount it to my bike but it is impractical to take the phone out of the otterbox to mount in something else. need a recommendation as to what works for a phone already in another case. are there 'universal mount' kits available?
same problem: have you find something??
You mean some thing like this? http://www.amazon.com/SlipGrip-Holder-Iphone-Otte…
I am not sure it works with the iPhone 4 version of Otterbox though…
http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/SlipGrip-15-Bike…
this is awesome…i got it for my scooter, and, as advertised, you use it with your otterbox defender case on…snaps right in…
hope this helps
