On my first time out with my bike I hit a medium sized pothole and the cover popped open and launched my phone across the road... luckily I was able to retrieve it however only to find a smashed glass front. Of course Apple wants $199 to provide me with a replacement. Perhaps BioLogic will send me the $199 for a product that doesn't hold up under real circumstances? If you were using this on a stationary bike, it should work. If you plan on riding this in the "real" world I ABSOLUTELY advise a rubber band or velcro strap around the unit. Best of luck to you. well, I should have believed in some of the reviews I read.

Have ridden in the rain with it--protected the phone quite well, very dry. Have ridden through lots of bumps on my road bike. The mount and holder held up and remained very stable. No jiggle. I don't use the headphones when riding (that's just crazy stoooopid), so I needed to have the volume loud enough to hear through the speakers. The foam interior covers one of the speakers; with initial use the sound was quite muffled. Cutting out the small piece that was covering that one speaker resulted in an acceptable volume for me. It still kept my phone dry when riding through rain. Hinge is a bit flimsy but the clasp of the cover is secure (won't fly open spontaneously). Price is a bit more expensive than other bike mounts for iPhone. Despite these flaws, it's the most stable and rain-resistant iPhone holder/bike mount that I've used so far. Would definitely recommend this to everyone. I’m an avid rider and bought one when it first came out in Sep/Oct 2009. Have ridden in the rain with it–protected the phone quite well, very dry.

Really happy with it except for one minor problem. Already lost the headphone plug (which is not really an issue as I listen to music on every ride) and I find it challenging at times to successfully insert the headphone jack. Need to use quite a bit of elbow grease and patience. Still would highly recommend this product to anyone Bought one as soon as they came out. Really happy with it except for one minor problem.

The tool does not offer way to attach that power supply (additional accu). @Mark Hayes: Absolutely correct, the price is ridiculous.

But it does keep the iPhone safe from your occasional summer rain. Pouring a glass of water on it may indeed not be a good idea. But it does keep the iPhone safe from your occasional summer rain.

Not waterproof i would say. Perhaps it is due to mass production. There goes my money. Bought it today and tested pouring water on it. Not waterproof i would say.
