I'm thinking about just velcroing mine to the gas cap lid. I did this with my VTX and it was always secure.

I use this one with my ipod touch. Secure and easy to get on/off.

I'm leaning towards the Gilbos Billet Hawg Solutions Vertabrae CR one.

Anyone using the new 4th Gen chromatic's yet? (aka the Shaker) I sorta hate they went back to the skinny ones, I dropped my 2nd gen so many times, it would just slip outta my hams (knock on wood I havn't dropped the 3rd gen fattie yet) broke my 2nd gen. on the last drop I had

Gilbos,
It looks like in the pics you have posted on your website that the the ipods fit pretty snug. Currently I have my 3rd gen in a protective case that makes it a little bit thicker. I would like to keep it in the case and am wondering if you have had anyone do this or do they have to be out of the cases? Your mounting system seem to be the best built out there!

It has been a few years since I dealt with Formotion, but at that time they were were very customer focused. Seemed like a good company and good products (at that time)

I just used some adhesive backed velcro to mount mine to the handlebar next to my rightside controls.

Fuzzy side on the bar and hook side on the back of my Nano.

$.89 maybe ?
