   Review by Kris Ludington for Biologic Bike Mount for Iphone

   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.

   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.

   This was the best option I could find for mounting my Iphone to my motorcycle handlebars. I wanted something that would offer some water resistance and complete coverage for the phone, while allowing me to see and access the screen for navigation apps, ect. I would rate it five stars, if not for the cons listed below.

   Pros:
   
   -case is well designed and is easy to mount, provides decent protection
   
   -holds steady at 70+mph on a naked motorcycle
   
   -looks good and provides full 360 degrees of orientation
   
   -can be adjusted easily while on the go

   Cons:
   
   -expensive for a plastic and rubber mount/case
   
   -home button is held on with adhesive and could peel off

   Overall, I am happy with this purchase. Amazon seller, safetycycle provided good service and fast, free shipping via USPS. USPS did crush the packaging, but the product inside was undamaged.

   I was searching around for a good mount for my mtn bike and kept coming across items that didn’t protect the screen and held the phone in a way it was exposed. Although paying $50 for a mount seems pretty expensive, this is the only one I found which I felt comfortable using. I took my iPhone out on a pretty aggressive ride and I was pleased in the way the case not only stayed closed but in place on my handle bars. Once I get the mount positioned perfect I will be grabbing some sweet videos!

   I have bought a Bike Mount for Iphone made by the company called BIOLOGIC, the dealer was DAHON.
   
   First of all the quality of the product is as cheap as possible, regarding to a valuable product like Iphone, I mean the quality of plastic and how it was done. Logically someone trying to protect an Iphone from rain, dust, etc. is looking for a quality solution. That’s how I found BIOLOGIC case. It looked ok on photos. After I have received it, installed it on my bike immediatelly. I have opened it and put my Iphone into the case. After taking out I have realised that my phone is MOVING INSIDE THE CASE, the case seemed bigger than the size of the Iphone. I found out that a RUBBER RING is missing and contacted first of all the company BIOLOGIC, they asked me to go to DAHON, the company which was the dealer. So I had been fulfilling the role of a ball playing table tennis with these guys for a while, writing emails, sending photos, whatever and everything because of one stupid rubber ring, which makes the case water and dust-proof, without it the phone is moving inside and can be damaged by rain or dust. Anyway I gave it up, the sommer is soon over, I will look for something else as a solution, I have an unusable so called Iphone case, which I can not use and there are companies who like to write emails, instead of posting a part of a value maybe 10 cents, resulting one more unhappy customer.
