We had our doubts about entrusting our pricey
piece of silicon and glass to the GoRide, with its simple one-piece
bracket. But a few laps around the city reassured us the phone was
solidly held by the slim-line mount and the two cable ties that held it to the handlebars.
We particularly liked how the low profile of this bracket kept the phone close to the handlebars, reducing stress on the mount. The rubber foot clung solidly, although we would have liked a rubber sleeve like the Ram EZ's to keep the cable ties from slipping over the long term.
Another benefit of the GoRide is that the phone holder is slim, and could even double as a case for the iPhone. It's easy and fast to remove from the mount, and you don't have to take it off to slide the phone into your pocket.
In our tests, the GoRide was a clear winner, with no significant drawbacks -- unless it's a rainy day.

Doesn't it ever rain whre you guys live? Only 1 was sort of protective agaist rain (although it was full of condensed water after some time - which will proove very harmful).
Does the closed and watertight "thing" not exist yet?
I drive a motorbike i Denmark where it rains frequently. I need a closed box that lets me operate it while driving (get off my case about the danger of this - I don't care). Besides it must be mount in a secure and maybe suspended manner, that can deal with vibrations.
Anyone?

I have owned both the Go Ride and Dahon iPhone mounts and can not recommend them. The plastic that attaches the holders to the mounts snapped on both. My iPhone is now badly scratched from two falls but miraculously still working. I don't do heavy mileage and only cycle on London roads - which are reasonably smooth. I am tempted by the Velotrac, because it doesn't rely on brittle plastic to attach to the bike, but think I'll hang on until there are more reviews.

of these mounts only the velotrac offers the possibility of accomodating an extra battery. Surely non of these mounts are any good for touring with gps unless they incorporate an auxillary battery. Why has no one done it?
