When I mounted my phone to my handlebars I used a solution like this:

So in this case, the phone is mounted inside a waterproof case that closes not only with a clip, but two clamps that fasten it down tight. The case itself attaches to a mount on the handlebars with a click-in mount, backed up with a thumb screw that locks it in. I'm pretty convinced that my phone in this case would not a) fall off the handlebars and b) get damaged if it did.
However, the biggest issues with these cases, and one that lead me to a RFLK solution, is that a) you can't have your phone screen always on as it kills the battery, and b) if it rains, the touch screen won't work. I learnt this the hard way when I got lost in West Virginia (not my usual stomping ground) and couldn't even unlock my phone to look at a map due to the screen being wet!
