    As per title really

    Want to mount my Wildfire on the bars for GPS use when riding (road) – any suggestions?

    TIA

    get a car dash mount & bodge it ?

    or even a flippy open leatherette case that has retaining clips. zip-tie it to the bars (open) and might even offer some shock absorption

    like this(proper leather – might be a drawback in the longer term). I have one for my phone (diff brand) and it’s a very good retention clip system for the phone

    I do rather worry about mounting phones on a bike. Unless there was a “proper” bike mount, I’d always feel very nervy about it leaping out! Not to mention the rain side of things.

    The only JesusPhone bike mounts I’ve seen have been very, very shoddy efforts to say the least.

    Perhaps there’s a market there for someone to make a “proper” one.

    I use a RAM aqua box which I have for using on my motorbike. I then just added the handlebar adapter

    Pricey for just a bike though

    Been looking for one for a while (for a Jesus phone) and I’ve not yet found anything I’d trust to be sturdy, shock resistant and waterproof.

    This one is the best contender I’ve found so far (iPhone but I think they do other phones):

    But the 4 1-star reviews put me off!

    I’m very happy with this from Ultimate Mobiles.

    Tried the Boxit system 1st, but it was shite. The mount broke on the 1st descent, spilling the ‘phone to the deck. Boxit then refused me a refund

    These look pretty good, but not cheap at 50€

    These guys were selling phone mounts at the cycle show, looked pretty good.

    Ended up buying one of these. I figured I can trim the strap and wrap it round my stem. Probably stick some velcro pads on there too to stop it moving. Bodgetastic 🙂
