Unfortunately those solutions suffer the same issues as most of the ones I've found.
First, they don't protect the phone from any sort of weather. There needs to be at least some initial protection from a quick rain, or splash. Secondly, and the main reason I never went with these is that the case is an "always on" case. I don't want my phone in a case the 90% of the time I'm not on a bike during any given day. The brilliance of the old BioLogic case was that it wasn't a permanent case. You could just pull the phone out when you were done.
There really is a market out there for good cases. These solutions people are coming up with don't seem to be from people who cycle.
I have a friend who is a 3D modeller, and we talked about perhaps putting one together to send off to the 3D printers online. I think this might be the only feasible solution at this time.
The
quad lock case is probably the right answer. Along with the case is also
a device called the "poncho" that makes the whole thing streamlined but also weatherproof. I have this for me iPhone 5 and it works great. I'm also on the hook for one for my iPhone 6. I've probably got close to 4000 miles on my quad lock case mounts and cases. I like them very much.
You can also purchase whatever case you like and stick their mount piece on the back of it and use that. I used one of the Otterbox cases once upon a time, but you can use pretty much anything you like.
So that gives you at least two solutions.
The case is super easy to pop on and off. If I didn't have a case, this one wouldn't trouble me with it's on and off capabilities. No worse than keeping the BioLogic case around.
