iPhone(4) case and mount?

BigJimmyB

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced case and stem mount for an iphone?

I'd prefer something more flush fitting if possible. I like the Topeak one that bolts through the headset cap for instance, but the case doesn't look up to much in terms of ruggedness...

Thanks in advance

You will crash, it will break, and you will cry.

Have you looked at otter box cases

I like the Topeak case. I had mine on the bike, using the stem cap mount, for 230 miles through Wales and it did what it should. It didn't leak and it didn't come off over some very, very rough trails.

I was very impressed, but I didn't crash, so can't say how well it works under those conditions.

Thanks both.

Any links to the Topeak ones? Is it the 'drybag' plus stemcap mount?

Thanks

I don't have an iphone, so used the 4"-5" Smartphone drybag, but it's the same thing, just shaped a little different.
The drybag will come with the stem/handlebar mount, but it really doesn't give as secure a fixing as the stem cap version. For added security, get some 2mm cord and tie the bag to the stem too with a short loop.

You know, just in case, like.

Why would you need your phone clamped to your stem? Just curious.
