 Finally a great design January 13, 2010

I was searching around for a good mount for my mtn bike and kept coming across items that didn't protect the screen and held the phone in a way it was exposed. Although paying $50 for a mount seems pretty expensive, this is the only one I found which I felt comfortable using. I took my iPhone out on a pretty aggressive ride and I was pleased in the way the case not only stayed closed but in place on my handle bars. Once I get the mount positioned perfect I will be grabbing some sweet videos!
Perfect protection for your precious iPhone March 12, 2010

If you have an iPhone - and you have a motorcycle - you Will at some time want to put the two together. Particularly to use the iPod music, GoogleMap or GPS applications that a 3Gs has available. The problem is that - up until now - bikes, bad weather and elctronics are incompatible.
Then the Dahon BioLogic Bike Mount for iPhone came along and has changed all that. Though originally intended for pedal cycles, it works very well on my Harley and keeps the water out whilst letting you use most of the phone functions. Obviously, wireless playback of iPod music & GPS directions via Bluetooth are better, with telephonic communication inside your helmet dependant on other aftermarket systems, though you can physically plug in a headphone with mic if you like.
The only minor niggle is that the Dahon casing will only accept a standard (Apple), iPhone charger plug - the white, compact one that comes with your iPhone - so I've had to design and assemble my own power supply system to keep the phone charged on the move. Information on that can be obtained from me at: enjaymarine@gmail.com
Finally, Dahon in Hong Kong are working on an upgrade to the only other weak spot in this otherwise superb system, which is the handlebar strap. When this has been 'beefed-up' a little more - for bigger bikes - you'll have the ideal iPhone weatherproof system - for anything on two wheels.
 Most expensive piece of plastic I ever bought - but nice January 16, 2010

The Biologic bike mount for iPhone 3GS is very sleek and attractive. It's well designed, engineered, and manufactured. The phone fits well in the case and the home button and the touch screen actually work through it. The volume buttons and sound switches are not accessible, but that's a small price to pay if it indeed is waterproof. I have not tested that yet. They even left a port for the camera lens, so if you have a time lapse video app on your iPhone, you can chronicle your ride. My only beef is that the entire thing is just a few chips of plastic and rubber. When you get it in your hands, the price of $55 feels way too high for what you are holding. The price needs to come down to the same as other iPhone cases (around $30) before I can recommend it. Also bear in mind that you have to take your iPhone out of its usual case to put it in the Biologic case. There is no extra room. That's a bit of a pain. Lastly, the bike mount bracket is entirely plastic and although well designed and simple, it looks like it won't stand up to repeated removal and reattachment. Hopefully Dahon will provide a replacement path for just that part. That would also help out if you have more than one bike, as I do, so I could get a extra mount bracket for each and move the case from bike to bike.

This is a great product and I would rate it a 5 if it had a better attachment system.
The good: IPhone is well protected and easy to use while in the case. I use two different GPS programs while riding -- one is in portrait mode and the other in landscape mode. The Biologic rotates easily to adapt to whichever I choose to use on a given ride. It is easy to put the IPhone into the case and to remove it.
The bad: the system to attach the unit requires the use of an allen wrench (included) but you cannot tighten it down as tight as I would like; therefore, when you hit a bump, the unit has a tendency to rotate down -- it is easy to rotate it back up though. I added a thin piece of rubber between the strap and the handlebars and this helped quite a bit.
The unit is made by Dahon and more information can be found on their web site. [...]. Also, a tour of the unit can be found on Youtube.
If you carry an IPhone on your bike, I highly recommend this product -- the benefits greatly outweigh the negatives. $50 plus dollars may seem a lot but when you are protecting a phone valued at several hundred dollars, it is well worth the price.
Biologic Iphone mount/case, works well! February 19, 2010

This was the best option I could find for mounting my Iphone to my motorcycle handlebars. I wanted something that would offer some water resistance and complete coverage for the phone, while allowing me to see and access the screen for navigation apps, ect. I would rate it five stars, if not for the cons listed below.
Pros:
-case is well designed and is easy to mount, provides decent protection
-holds steady at 70+mph on a naked motorcycle
-looks good and provides full 360 degrees of orientation
-can be adjusted easily while on the go
Cons:
-expensive for a plastic and rubber mount/case
-home button is held on with adhesive and could peel off
Overall, I am happy with this purchase. Amazon seller, safetycycle provided good service and fast, free shipping via USPS. USPS did crush the packaging, but the product inside was undamaged.
