Smart phone cases with bike mount
Discussion
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any information on these, I know you can get one on endomondo, but its pretty pricey. Anyone know of a good one for reasonable money?
The phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 (which is quite a small phone), although I understand most of these things are easily adapted for most phones.

I use an Arkon mount for my phone (with the mapmyride app, if you're interested):

It sits quite proud on the bars, and won't go on the stem, but you can "tuck" underneath it and the quality feels pretty solid. I've used it in the rain with no leaking, and while the phone came off in a crash when the bike hit the floor, the fact that the case is pretty good meant that it was fine. Otherwise, you have to screw it in pretty tight, but it doesn't move on rough roads and the like.
It's by no means the prettiest solution, but it keeps the phone dry, visible and protected (from being fallen on) so it does for me.
