Bike Mount for iPhone 4

Just got my new iPhone and have started riding more seriously - any recommendations on a good bike mount, I'm not price sensitive as it will be holding a $700 phone at 25mph over bumps.

Thanks

A lot of people use the iPhone for motorcycles, specifically off-road adventures, mainly because it holds really good off-road mapping software. Some guys film their rides on it, which is pretty amazing.

The bumps are NOT going to damage the iPhone. Dropping. Rain. Dust. That's going to hurt it. Get an otterbox then get a RAM mount to place it on your bars. Put it in a place that is protected from a fall (meaning, don't put it on the bar ends).

Not to everyone's taste, but i've been using one of these:

Whilst the phone gets quite hot in there on sunny days it's nice to have realtime mapping accessible right infront of you.

Word of advice though - measure up first as there's a chance your legs may hit the pack when you pedal - mine is fine but i've heard from others that experienced this problem.
