i phone 5 case
 
Hey everyone, so i decided to get an i phone 5, I dont know if it was a wise choice. i used my i phone 4 for taking distance on my rides. Half way accurate. But i had a phone case for it so it would mount to my bike. Do they have a decent case for the 5 yet, i've done some googling and haven't found any yet. If i do find a case i like, and should decent to get a blue tooth cadence and speed sensor, do any of you have experience with any of these devices, and how well they work. Which one should i get?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

I have a rokform it's super solid.

Go to Amazon and search cases. Then read the reviews. I like Ballistic- probably my favorite. Casemate is also good. There are so many to choose from.

This is the absolute best case and bike mount for the 5 http://www.lifeproof.com/en/iphone-5/accessories They just came out with the bike mounts this week. Caught in the rain? No problem at all. It's 100% waterproof. Not at all bulky. Relatively expensive though. It'll run you upwards of $100 for the case and bike mount. There is great comfort in knowing that neither a spill (fall) or a downpour will bother it. Two thumbs up!

Here is a link to an article with descriptions. There are several articles like this but I use them and then research reviews.

Meh... Not as nice as the rokform though. No machined aluminum made in america bling factor. Still a nice case though.
