To be honest, I would not have made my suggestion had you been more upfront with using the device for things other than just the GPS.
I do have a question, though, regarding your time in Berlin (and other areas with narrow streets)- how was the GPS signal? I've found that narrow streets with tightly packed buildings, trees, dense cloud cover... all can have an impact on the signal reception. Of course, my Nexus tablet that I track my activites with is WiFi only, so I don't have the luxury of using the cell towers to fall back on...

When I was in Berlin I was using the iPhone 4. It actually worked quite well most of the time. There were times when it would kind of drift around a bit and it would appear I was a street over, but it was pretty rare. The biggest issue was honestly in the apps themselves. When I first started I was using an app called MapMyRide+ and it would turn the map in the direction I was going using the compass. This was invaluable because in places like Berlin, heading the wrong direction can be annoying at best, and deadly at worst. They did an update and removed that functionality for the iPhone 4, and so I needed to find another.
So, I didn't find that much of an issue with the narrow streets. The bigger issue was that the streets are often completely random.

Thanks, I'll look into it a bit more. The reason I passed on them in the first place was that I just didn't want to fiddle around getting a case on and off each time I decided to ride. The BioLogic case was brilliant because I could get my phone in, and out in less than 5 seconds without risking scratching/chipping the device with repeated removal from the case. I have an iPad that I use a case on when traveling, and I have become very leery about constantly removing the case as I have to pry it off every time.
How long would you say it takes to remove your phone from the case?
