I have been riding with first my iPhone 3G and now the 4. When I went to the 4 I also used an otter box case and the belt clip case that comes with it. I would not recommend taking out the screen protector that comes with the otter box. I have found that protector works much better than the stick on type and has less problems with air bubbles etc. under the film. I also built an on board charging system as I do long days of riding and uses the phone for a variety of uses one being (cyclemeter) these apps uses a lot of power in the course of a day. The first few photos shows the 3G setup and I don’t have a photo of the otter box setup only the mounting bracket that the belt clip snaps onto. The belt clip is nice because the phone quickly comes off for taking a photo or when leaving the bike. The phone and handlebar bag never stay on the bike unattended.
I normally just use the otter box case alone unless there is drizzle or chance of moisture then I stick it in a baggie and then clip it into the belt clip. The touch screen works fine thru a baggie. I don’t seal the open end of the bag I just put it to the bottom. In the event of a hard rain I put the phone in the baggie inside the handlebar bag.
When I first started using the cyclemeter app there was a new novelty about watching the map and speeds etc. after a while I know it’s all logging and I tend to let the screen black out and review it all when I stop.
