Has anyone got a sony z1 and managed to find a good case and mount so that you can attach it to your bike?

I have an app that gives you all the details you need, speed, avg speed etc and gps but its not much use in my back pocket!!

    Lidl have a couple of variations this week, cant comment on quality or whether a z1 would fit, but just a heads up...

    Quadlock look a brilliant concept to me for phone mounts but as is always the case iphone clears up on accessories....

    They dont make a sony mount, but if you can find a decent case for protection/sacrifice to a bike mount I would look at fitting a quadlock universal fitting on the back of said case, and use that...

    I wouldn't bother with a waterproof case, you have a waterproof phone after all.

    I have an XZ and I would recommend one like this:

    I have one like this but for the XZ. I did have a little bit of rattle, but a small amount of dampening tape off ebay around the corners completely removed that. Done well over 1000 miles with it with no issues. The one I have came with a quick release stem clamp which I find useful for moving between bikes.

    I would not get this one:

    I have one like this for my XZ. Rattle was incurable and my phone actually flew out of it once at high speed when I went over a pothole!
