Any suggestion on buying these 2 accessories?
Who knew these would be so hard to find online.
I have a Samsung Note 5 cell (6 1/4" x 3 1/4" dimension with case on) and I want a nice black solid bag to mount on top bar where I can view the phone and possibly store keys, credit card in bottom. Or even a nice mount on handlebars where I can keep the phone in its Otterbox Commuter case and maybe even the mount comes with black waterproof case to put my phone w/case. I'd hate to have any item that I have to remove case from the phone each time I ride.
Any item that is waterproof is probably too much to ask for. lol
I've also been searching for a nice silver insulated water bottle that fits in the standard bike cage. Just a plain water bottle will sweat and ice will melt quickly in the SC sun. I need insulation and prefer something that doesn't need a lot of taking apart before drinking. It needs to be near perfect size so it doesn't rattle in the cage. I put a piece of rolled up paper in the rack and taped it so I could see what the diameter is and it's close to 2.80".
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Walmart has some Zefal branded cases for under $20. Mounts to the top bar right behind the stem, has a clear top pouch for the phone which allows you to use the touchscreen, and a spot underneath for assorted things like IDs and keys.

For the bottle, pick the bottle you want, buy a cheap metal cage, bend it so it holds the bottle tight.

Getting older and slower!
Polar has a nice insulated water bottle that is silver and white. I have four in two different sizes.

FWIW I found my top-tube mounted phone case interferes with pedaling while standing - my knees hit it when I stand and hammer. Still looking for a good bar-mounted version.
Take a look at Camel Bak Podium Insulated water bottles. Caveats are they hold less than a standard bottle and may not fit in the down-tube cage (mine doesn't). Insulated bottles are OK for short rides, but not much can withstand a 100 degree, 15-20 mph wind for an hour or more.

That's it! I didn't know it was called a bike bento bag, but that's what I want!
Y'know, I bet I could make that. Hmmm...

For the bottle, check out Contigo stuff a Target. Take a bottle cage with you for verification of fit. I've successfully fit my coffee cup in a cage. I know they make stuff beyond coffee cups and the insulation is fantastic. Where in SC? I'm in the midlands.

Camelback Podium Insulated work great. We have about six between all of us and are great. I know Polar makes some that are pretty much exactly like the Podium but cost less. Also Zefal makes some as well.
I have a Note 4 and haven't found anything that would hold it. I used to have the Zefal bag (different brand) for my S5 and it worked great. I think there is a new version of it that holds the iPhone 6+ and Note phones.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I love my big phone but these bike accessory creators need to help us out and make more items that fit our phones. I'll check out these recommendations. Good idea to just take water bottle cage in a store with me.

This is a great little handlebar mount for an i-phone model 5. It holds the bare phone without cover in a very snug fashion. I like it so much I just ordered a couple more for my other bikes.
