Case for Cycling

[wacomme]

I'll receive my first iPhone Friday (i5). I'm planning to use it naked. However, I'm a cyclist and ride with my cell phone (currently a Blackberry) in my jersey pocket. When it's likely to rain I put the phone is a plastic baggie, and then in my jersey pocket.

However, perhaps I need something more for the iPhone 5 - maybe not. I'm thinking about some type of minimalist hardshell case - something that's easy to put the phone in and out of, waterproof, and not too bulky.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I use it and mount it on my road bike stem and use "Cyclemeter" app as my bike computer. Perfect combo.

Although I am not sure if they have one for the 5 yet...currently use it with my 4 but come Friday will need a bigger bag.

Very interesting. However, I don't need the mounting hardware since I won't be using the phone as a bike computer. The visible screen is nice. However, I don't think the "touchscreen" is usable.

Its absolutely usable.... I use it while fishing, riding, hiking, at the beach, etc. Touch screen works perfect.

The touchscreen works through the bag? How easy is it to insert and remove the phone?

Yeah it works perfectly. I browse the web, text, make phone calls, etc while its in there.
