So that I can use Google Maps on my HTC M8, I'm looking for a waterproof case and mount. I'd like to be able to mount it in the centre of the bars.
I don't really want to pay for the premium offerings, but there are so many cheaper ones online that I don't know what's good and what's going to fall apart on first use. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.

This may be a simple solution if you fit one of those bars that fits between the two handlebars. Not looked into this too much.

Re: Waterproof phone case
Thanks. I'm wondering whether that might work on one of the flat side panels above the compartments, using velcro to fix it.iceman wrote:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400907472907? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Re: Waterproof phone case
Well my solution may not be pretty, but it works. I have a Ram mount with an accessory that looks like an X. I carry a quart size zip lock freezer storage bag that I can put my phone in if the weather looks bad. The phone works well on the Ram mount, and if I need to protect it, I just put it in the baggy and pull it tight before zipping it closed. Here is a picture of my ram mount. By the way, check sizes if you want to purchase that X accessory to make sure it will fit your particular phone.

Re: Waterproof phone case
Just picked up one of these from Lidl. It's not waterproof, but it won't drown behind the screen. I had to cut the bolts and winders down and stick an extra bit of rubber padding under the mount, but it fits perfectly in the centre of the handlebars.
