Iphones and vibration problems?
I have an Iphone 4s that I am planning on using on my bike for my tunes. I am unsure yet with which mount set up I am gonna use. What I want to know is...from you guys who have mounted your Iphone to your handlebars, do you have any issues with vibration affecting the phone? Let's face it, our bikes vibrate like the ol lady's night stand drawer. Just wanted to know if anyone had any problems with the phone from the vibes. If you want to add what mount you use I am still looking for ideas

No problems with my 4s. I stream Pandora all day while riding and it's great.
This is what I used to mount the iPhone.

The iPhone will be just fine. But as stated, if you don't turn off "shake to shuffle", it will drive you crazy changing songs.
I have my iPod touch mounted using a "Riders Claw".

mine hangs from a clear fronted holster clipped to my fairing pouch.
That way I can see the display for maps or directions with out taking my eyes too far off the road.
easy quick grab to the pocket at gas stops
vibes no problem, conventional ipods with hard drives can be a problem mounted on a bike, not "flash" memory devices like iphone, nano, iTouch, ipad

You should be just fine. I'm going on my second iphone with no problems whatsoever. Like the previous posters mentioned, just be sure to turn off the shake to shuffle function. Been meaning to buy a handlebar mount but it works ok in the leather pouch mounted on the fairing. Enjoy.

I just mounted mine today using a 1" scope mount for a 22.cal rifle I had laying around as I've made one before using scope parts for my gps.I used the scope mount and a otter box case the part that clips to your belt.What i like about it is easy on easy off and when not using your phone for GPS you can put the phone in the holder backwards so the sun's not beating on the face of it.I'll get pics of it and post them
