Default iphone handlebar mount and case

now that iOS 6 is out, you can use your iPhone as a GPS for turn by turn directions, here are some pics of an iPhone 4s mounted on our Ultra here at the shop.

the case with mounting bracket is $59.99: SMiPhone

the best case for this is the lifeproof case with the handlebar mount.

Been using my iPhone for turn-by-turn directions for over a year now.

Lifeproof case, Motion-X GPS.

Didn't need to wait for iOS 6.

Looks pretty clear in the sun you just have to adjust the settings on the phone and make it brighter. The riders claw is alright but if you have an iPhone the life proof way is the best route hands down. With the riders claw you get stuck in the rain you can forget about using your phone cause its getting put away

I'm not keen on the clamp that comes with the lifeproof case; I like a clamp I can leave on my bike and it still looks nice. Riders Claw fits that requirement... but it's not H2O proof. If waterproof is what you need, and you want a nice-looking base, here's one called eCaddy Ultra: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/CTGY/cell.html
