BioLogic Bike Mount for iPhone 4

Some more information in addition to the other great reviews of the product.Like many other reviewers I really like this case. Additionally, I was able to use the provided mount and make it very secure.CASEThe case seems like it would protect your iPhone in the event of an impact... although, I have not tested this. :) My case is a bit stiff to open and close at times due to the lip and ridge sealing together, but that tells me the seal is working. The rotating part of the mount, which is on the case, turns a bit more freely than I would like. It has turned while riding one time when I went over very hard terrain. Except for this one incident, the case has always stayed in the orientation that I place it. The hinge and lock are really solid and I have no fear of my iPhone coming out of the case. Many have commented on the screen material (clear part of the case) causing glare issues. In my opinion it is better than the glass of the iPhone for cutting glare. The instructions on the box also tell you to turn off the auto-brightness feature of the iPhone so that your display does not dim while in the Biologic case.MOUNTMany reviewers have stated having problems with the provided mount - it will not tighten enough, easy to strip the threads, coming loose over time, etc. I put some self fusing silicone tape around my handlebar where I wanted to place the mount - the plastic/rubber mount strap is now mounting onto a rubber surface. This allowed me to not have to tighten the mount strap as much and provided a very secure mount for the case. I have no concerns about the mount slipping on the bars and it has stayed very tight and secure. I do agree that the provided mount should be better designed to stay secure on handlebars. I suppose that is why Biologic has the "Heavy Duty Bracket for Bike Mount" product  Biologic Heavy Duty Bracket for Bike Mount , but it should be included with the case, not as an added purchase.CRASH UPDATE!I was involved in a pretty significant accident that resulted in my bicycle flipping over its front wheel and landing on the handlebars and saddle. To give you an idea on the force of impact the bicycle took, one of the saddle rails bent beyond repair and usability. Additionally, the rotating part of the Bike Mount for iPhone 4 case broke in two and the case (with my iPhone) flew off of what was left of the mount on the handlebar and skidded some 15 yards down the pavement. The Bike Mount for iPhone 4 case totally protected my iPhone. There was not a scratch on the iPhone and it functions perfectly. I purchased another case when I got home.

This is perhaps my favorite Amazon purchase in a long, long time. I put this case to test this past Saturday on a drizzly San Antonio morning bike ride. This was an urban ride, over railroad tracks, potholes, etc. which tested the case's mounting hardware. The drizzly rain tested the watertight capablility of the case.First of all, the engineering that went into this is exacting. There is no cheap feel to this product. It feels substantial and appears to be made of high quality materials. Although pelted with rain, the IPhone remained dry and snug inside. The handlebar mount is far superior to any similar product I've purchased before for lights, bike computers, etc. I would almost say it is military grade hardware. I bought the case for an IPhone 4, but the case comes with an additional insert for an IPhone 3 if that's what you have.I mounted this on the right side of the handlebar as viewed from the rider's perspective. The case swivels and can be kept in any position desired. I found I liked keeping the case in parallel to the handlebar while riding. It's personal preference. As to the viewability of the screen, I found that to be a positive, pleasant surprise. The touchscreen characteristics of the case were five star perfect. I have an Otterbox case for this phone, but I may just keep it in this case.The connection between the case and the mounting hardware is very secure. I also like the easy on/easy off feature. There were several times I wanted to stop and take a photo during the ride, and being able to quickly and easily dismount the phone from the handlebar was appreciated. As said before, operating the touch screen to take the photo couldn't have been easier.If you receive a call while bike riding, you can easily swipe the slider on the touchscreen to answer the call, but for optimal sound (i.e., to be able to hear your caller well), you'll have to remove the phone from the case. This is because there are no sound ports or holes (this keeps the case water resistant). Not to worry, the clasp closure for the case is well engineered and easy to operate. Hopefully you won't be wanting to answer the phone and talk while pedaling anyway.After this case came via UPS, I had it mounted within 5 minutes. Then I went on the internet and found several cycling apps for the IPhone, and have several ready to use. Given the fact that the case appears to be able to handle the ANT+ clip-on device, you can download cycling apps that can handle cadence and power readings if you have the appropriate hardware. The point is, you can use this case + Iphone + cycling apps and not have to have a separate cycling computer. Since the IPhone is GPS capable and there are several cycling apps for the IPhone available, why purchase a separate GPS enabled cycling computer when you already have one inside your IPhone? Get this case and mount your IPhone to your bike. Now you'll have a GPS enabled cycling computer, with ANT+ capability, and a phone for emergencies or just to tell your sweetie that you'll be home soon from another great bike adventure.

I bought the Biologic for mountain and road biking. Overall I've been very happy with it. It's also cheaper than other alternatives.The case:- It's very well built and holds the phone very snugly. It doesn't move, even going over rough terrain. The lock is strong and I know that it's protected from the elements. Built like a tank for the price - very impressive.As others have noted, you can get glare from the screen which makes it hard to see your phone. Turning off the auto-brightness should do the trick.I also noticed that with my cycling gloves I can't use the phone. That's not a fault of the case so much, but more of a mix of the gloves and screen trying to press on a glass surface. Not a big deal, just something to consider - perhaps having gloves without fingers on them.You can connect your charging USB cord through the bottom of the case. I connect my phone to a portable battery inside of my handlebar bag so I can keep it continuously charged while riding, which is a big deal for me. I don't want a dead phone on a long ride. The fit is a little tight, but once you lock the case cover down, it works great.The mount:- Comes off easily, but relatively secure. I can take the phone off with no problems, and also having the ability to rotate the phone is great. It was a little tricky to get it secure on my frame, but I got it on after a couple of attempts.Overall, no complaints. It does the job and has excellent bang for the buck.

Das Teil ist eigentlich ganz gut, aber in Summe nicht ganz zu empfehlen- Halterung am Vorbau nicht möglich (Halteclipp kann zwar gedreht werden aber wenn der Vorbau etwas mehr Duchrmesser hat reicht die Länge der Befestigungslasche leider nicht, also nur am Lenker montierbar)- Verklippsung am Lenkradhalter war nur wenige Tage gut, nach mehrmaligem auf und abstecken ist keine Verrastung mehr vorhanden und das Ganze muß mit einem zusätzlichen Gummi gesichert werden.- Bei härteren Schlägen springt auch schon mal die ganze Klappe auf (auch hier hilft das Gummi das ich um Gehäuse und Lenker gepannt habe ebenfalls)Also für Mountenbiker nur bedingt zu gebrauchen.
