4.0 out of 5 stars Most expensive piece of plastic I ever bought - but nice January 16, 2010

By Kris Ludington

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good May 9, 2010

I have used the Biologic Mount now for a few months. The screen enables you to utilize all the functionality of the touchscreen which is great. However, the piece of plastic that snaps the lid on can come off if you hit a bump hard enough. The first time I hit a big pothole which was unavoidable the lid popped open and my iphone skid on the ground much to my horror. Testimony to the iphone as it remained relatively unscathed. The plastic components that snaps the lid shut should be revamped and made more secure to avoid this issue. As a security measure, I added a think rubber band around the base of the case to ensure the case would not pop open again. I usually ride for a couple of hours so I liked the fact that the iphone charger cable could be attached, and I actually ran the cable to a backup battery to extended the battery life of my iphone. It's a good design, but the case really needs to latch more securely to avoid having your iphone fall out midstream.

1.0 out of 5 stars I should have believed... now a Smashed IPhone 4 July 29, 2010

By Derrick J Bohlin

well, I should have believed in some of the reviews I read. On my first time out with my bike I hit a medium sized pothole and the cover popped open and launched my phone across the road... luckily I was able to retrieve it however only to find a smashed glass front. Of course Apple wants $199 to provide me with a replacement. Perhaps BioLogic will send me the $199 for a product that doesn't hold up under real circumstances? If you were using this on a stationary bike, it should work. If you plan on riding this in the "real" world I ABSOLUTELY advise a rubber band or velcro strap around the unit. Best of luck to you.
