Default iphone case?

I've seen pictures of an iphone/ipod case that attaches to the tank, by magnet or velcro I would think. Had a clear face so you could operate the device. Now that I want one I can't remember where I saw it. I checked the sponsors of this forum with no luck. Does anyone know what I'm reffering to?

It's a Harley part. Look on their website.

Boom Audio Tank Pouch - I looked at them but am skeptical that they wont scratch the paint. Magnets + vibration = movement which translates to scratches..............or am I being an old woman?

I have one and be warned, there is no hole in the bottom to plug in a charger, and the hold for the audio jack is to small as well. I cut an opening in the bottom for the charger and enlarged the hole for the audio jack but decided to go a different route. I am not going to use mine.

The whole magnet thing turned me off. I felt like if it got bumped and moved around a bit it would scratch my tank.

I don't trust it to hold in high wind. I used to run a magnetic tank bag which wrapped around the edges of one of my Japanese bikes. I lost it in high winds on the freeway one day.

Another issue is will the magnet affect the electronic device that is in the pouch in any way?
