Are there any?

Using a lifeproof case and a lifeproof barmount. First barmount lasted about 2000km of commuting before the tabs holding it together cracked and it fell to bits. In the states the other week so picked up a replacement cheap and it's done the same after 10 commutes. Utter utter shite.

Any suggestions?

one of my colleges sent me the link to this the other day. I have not used one but it looks a neat solution.

It won't take a life proof case, but I've used a Topeak Ridecase on my 5 for 8 months without any problems (and the prior version with my 4 for two years previously). It also offers a small degree of protection from drops when off the bike - two drops and no cracked glass
Tried to cheap out with a DX jobbie for $5, but it lasted less than a week before the mount cracked.

I think it takes a fair amount of vibration on the commuter. It's gone the same way twice though. Shite design.
Who makes those ones for motorbikes?

Some of you clearly undertake some different riding to me ...

I quite fancy the [url= http://www.extrauk.co.uk/product/detail/Topeak/Other_Bags/3058/ ]Topeak Ridecase power pack [/url] when it comes out later this week, with the extra battery capacity it could be very handy for all day use of the iPhone gps/pics/vids and 3g connection for 6music through my bluetooth earphones, I'll be able to recharge the battery with a Son Dynamo hub (when i buy one) for extended touring trips.

I've got the quadlock and have mounts on a few bikes and in the car, it's good bit of kit
I have a separate external battery that is use for longer rides, the water resistant poncho also works really well

I've even using the topeak iPhone drybag for about 3 years and it's still working well.
