Having instant access to your phone while you ride your bike has all sorts of benefits – in particular if you get a call or text you don’t have to drag the phone out of your pocket or pack, and if you’re using a GPS app or timing app like Strava you have instant on-the-go access, as well as a head-up display for the app.
So this Aquapac case will appeal to a lot of people. It’s easy to mount on your bars (no tools needed) and can be adjusted so the phone is horizontal or vertical or even facing away from you if you want to shoot video footage of your ride.
There are two sizes to fit most types of smartphone, and although it probably won’t appeal to purists due to the size and weight of the set up when it’s on the bike – or simply the fact that for some people riding their bike is all about getting away from their phone – for everyone else it does a fine job.
