iPhone Bike Mount
Description
This case/mount has been road tested for hundreds of miles and is on it's fourth major revision. (All are included in the sketchup file for historical purposes.)
It fits the 3G or 3GS snugly. Anyone care to mod it for the iPhone 4?
No iPhone? Check out parkolay's HTC EVO case ( thingiverse.com/thing:4461 ) that fits this mount!
Instructions
2. Print case
3. Snap off "thermal buttresses" that prevent warping
4. Print mount set (2 parts in 1 fast print)
5. File/sand the facing parts on the case & mount for a super snug fit. (This will take 10 minutes or so).
6. Fasten spring piece to bike mount with m5 or other small screw
7. Zip tie/hose clamp the mount onto your stem.
8. Clip your phone in and ride to your heart's content.

Hey dude nice creation I made the case so far but had some trouble when using kisslicer with support 'on' left it overnight just to discover a huge block of plastic half completed :'( :'(
Also when I tried to print the mount just then i also got extra triangluar shapes which didnt show up in kisslicer ? ...
What am I missing ?
cheers
I have been trying to design a case just like this for my galaxy tab 7 which is a bit bigger. Thanks for the idea.
Had to sand it a little bit so the parts would mate properly, but it works fine. It also fits the iPhone 4 with the original Apple bumper pretty good without any modifications.
For the iphone4 with apple bumper, I just scaled the width by x1.02. I have only been able to complete about 70% of the print of the case before something fails on the print, but that is good enough. Put the iphone in a ziplock and into the holder. Went for a few rides already works nice.
This is a cool idea, I think I will use it. Instead of a metal hose clamp which can rust or scratch your paint use the new Flexi-Clamp. It is no-rust, non-conductive, re-usable and can tighten to 75 psi. Come watch the video:
Pretty nifty. I might use this for some ideas on how to do my car mount for my Samsung Vibrant. The depth dimensions are almost perfect, but the height and width are a little off. How rough is the plastic on the metal backing of the iPhone? My Vibrant has a hard plastic backing and I'm afraid it will scuff it up.

Hey there, I tried to to derive an iphone 4/s mount from this.... but the polygonal mesh I imported in Rhino had missing surfaces. Does anyone know of any fixes for this file? Chazah seemed to have the same problem.
