Bicycle Handle Bar Mount for iPhone 3gs/4/4S

I took up riding again after a long hiatus this past summer. I owned an iPhone 3GS and wanted to be able to secure it to bike to allow me to listen to music and run a GPS App (Cyclemeter or RunKeeper) to track my progress.  I looked everywhere and could not find a mount and case combo that would adequately protect my iPhone.  I wanted a Case that was waterproof and I wanted the phone to be also protected if I took a nose dive.  So I settled on a simple mount that is sturdy and a Pelican Case that should protect the phone from a nuclear blast.  The total cost of the mount was about $8-$10, most of that for the Lexan.  The case runs about $25 on Amazon.  

The case is bulky, but that is good as the bulk protects the phone.  It has a pass through iPhone compatible Headphone adaptor, allowing you to plug your headphones in to the box, then a wire in the box is plugged into the phone.  Headphones with buttons can control the phone.  

This is not a difficult project and skill level is pretty low.  The tools I used included a Chop Saw to cut Lexan (but there are cutting tools for that), a Dremel tool to cut slots, and a drill.  

Please be aware that all I do is ride a hybrid bike (Trek 7.3) on streets and a Rails to Trails system near my home.  So I do not want to suggest that this mount could handle the stresses of a Mountain Bike Ride.  

Step 1 The Parts

The Bicycle Mount is made of a Conduit Clamp and the sheet of lexan.

Parts: 

         Sheet of Lexan - I bought an 8x10 piece from Lowes that was 0.093inch thick.  I cut to 3" x 7" (approx)
         One 1.5" Conduit Clamp found at Lowes. This is used to hold electrical conduit to a wall or joist. Measure your Handle bars or        
                  Stem to determine the correct size clamp.
         One Pelican i1015 iPod Case from Amazon. 
         Velcro Strap (1/2" wide) from Lowes
         Sugru from http://www.sugru.com  This a silicone based product that molds like clay, cures at room temp in 24 hours.  
         One 10-32 Bolt 3/4" Length, Nut, 2 Washers, and 1 Lock Washer

Tools:

         Chop Saw to cut the Lexan.  But anything can be used.  THere are special knives.  I would use a steel straight edge with a knife.  
         Hand Sander or Sandpaper - used to smooth the rough edges of the lexan after cutting
         Dremel Tool with Cutting Disk.  Used to make clots for the Velcro
         Drill for hole
