I purchased the weatherproof handlebar mount for my iPhone and was sorely disappointed. The basic RAM mount is fine but the weatherproofing consists of an oversized watertight case with a "clear Flex lens." This is basically a heavy clear vinyl-like cover that would simply not work with my iPhone touch screen. I tried and tried using my bare fingers but could not get the iPhone to respond thru the cover. I can't imagine it would work at all when wearing gloves. In addition, the case is not really made for an iPhone and the cableway is simply a popout in the center back of the case - not at all set up for an iPhone's bottom run external power cable although you can make it work. Amazon is a reseller and their return policy requires you to contact the actual supplier. I contacted the supplier but have not yet received a reply (6 days)

While this product is a great waterproof box the title is incorrect. This product will hold, but not allow you to operate an iPhone. RAM's own website says this about the AquaBox line: "Apple iPhone and iPod touch screens are not operable through the RAM Flex Lens while in the Aqua Box". This is a great product but does have limitations when it comes to the iPod Touch and iPhone.

The mount is great for the motorcycle because it keeps the IPOD dirt free and dry. The only suggestion I have is that it needs an adaptor hole to plug in the earphones or speakers. My husband made a small hole himself and it still works great!

I have had this case for a few weeks and it works pretty well. The screen is kind of tough to read due to the cover but my phone functions well through the screen protector. After loosing my phone last summer while riding through a popup storm this case just made sense to me and I am very happy with it. Too bad it isn't in chrome though.

Very nice component to protect my IPOD on my Motorcycle. Very easy to assemble, but it would be more convenient to have the wires run out the side of the case instead of the back.

Very nice product for your Ipod or Iphone. Maybe you can even use it for a GPS. I mounted this to my 01 HD Ultra. It's already been tested when riding in the rain. It held up just fine. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to mount their electronic device to their handlebars .

I have a few RAM products and aside from this one I've been very satisfied with them. But the part that protects the screen is very poorly designed. It is so thick it makes the touch screen inoperable when in the case. This makes it unusable in bad weather because you'd have to remove your phone from the case to interact with your phone, like you might want to do if you are using it as a GPS or to change songs when listening to music. Also the case is just a box that holds the phone and not in any way form fitting. This is adequate but does not have the feel of a higher quality product.
