My battery consumption is right at 10% loss per hour. I recently completed a ride across Florida with the longest ride being 85 miles and did not recharge the phone until I got to my hotel room. If you're only getting an hour out of your phone, you're doing something very wrong.
As for phone mounts, the Zixtro mount I use is mounted on my aerobars. I have had several crashes and the phone was never damaged or knocked out of it's case.
