I only have a few concerns concerning the Satechi ( which I have yet to receive ), A couple of the reviews on Amazon stated that there were some problems with trying to remove the phone from the case pouch because the plastic front would stick to the phone screen. That could be an issue if you need to get the phone out while on the road. It depends though on just how hard it really is. If it takes more than a couple minutes THAT would be a major issue.

I'm also hoping that I will be able to work the power button on my phone while it is in the pouch. If it's flexible enough it shouldn't be a problem. The Satechi is one of the few mounts that allows mounting to the front stem ( as well as the bars) which means it can swivel. As long as it will mount securely, let me work my side buttons and keep the phone dry in a rain storm I will be happy.

And speaking of rain storms while riding; Just the other night I got caught in a sudden downpour. My fault for not pulling out the phone sooner to check the local radar. This was while mountain biking at night. It was absolutely the hardest rain I have ever had to ride in and I had no weather gear with me at all ( which was quite unusual for me ). Having just experienced what it is like to ride in a really hard rain I've come to realize that trying to navigate with a GPS device in a downpour isn't likely to be something anyone can expect to do with a high degree of success. Hard enough just trying to see where you are going without worrying about what a GPS is trying to tell you. Add darkness and the fact that I wear glasses to the equation and I just had to realize that if it's raining really hard I just have to find shelter somewhere until the worst is past. So far I've never had this happen on a road ride but I figure this year it's likely to happen. Hopefully if it does I will have some rain gear with me and be able to find some temporary shelter. Riding a bike in a freaking downpour is not fun. Add some lightning to the mix and it becomes downright scary.
