As above, I want something to mount my phone to the bars of my bike to use as a computer. I bought a cheap eBay one and it's utter rubbish (home button doesn't even work) so I need a better option. I was looking at a Topeak dry bag and mount but that's over £40 which seems a load of cash to me.

Any suggestions? It's to go on a Genesis Volant for road use rather than MTB stuff but waterproof is still desirable.

I've got a Ram iphone bike mount. It's excellent and totally secure. I use it on a MTB and road bike no problems at all.

But very definitely not waterproof. And ridiculously overpriced for what it offers.

I'm tempted by the Zixtro Flash :

It'll take all manner of phones (up to 125 x 66 x 17mm), is at least splash proof.

There are other options :

(tube top bag with transparent lid, £10)

Or another thats a little more specific :

The Halfords Topeak bag normally doesn't come with the mount, just a clip on the back at that price, so I wonder if they made an error in the description?

Easy enough to check, there's a Halfords round every corner.

I've got a non-transparent Topeak mobile holder/wallet thingummy, that came with the mount.

I've been looking for ages - face booked Wiggle etc and am hoping ProLogic will real ease something like they had for the iPhone 4. So far zip so I bought a small computer for £13 from wiggle (gives speed, distance, time, max speed etc) and stick the iPhone in the back pocket to run Cyclemeter. Boom..... Sorted and cost me £13.... Oh and £500 for the iPhone what a mug :-)

Are you aware of the Topeak Ride Case. It's not 100% waterproof but I love the mou ting system!

Search eBay for;
Topeak Ridcase II Bike Cycle Mount For iPhone 5
For the best price that I can currently find it.
