"The Arkon Handlebar Mount with Water Resistant Holder is a versatile option for keeping your BlackBerry or other device handy while on the move."

Should I Buy? "If you're an avid bicyclist, this case will become indespensible." |

If you are an avid bicycler or motorcycle rider, you may wonder where to put your BlackBerry while you're riding. Tucking it away in a pocket or compartment works just fine most of the time, but what about when you need to see your screen for GPS, maps, music, or a workout app like Endomondo? The Arkon Handlebar Mount with Water Resistant Holder is a great solution to this situation. This sleek, removable case not only keeps your BlackBerry (or other device) in plain view, it also protects it from the weather, dust, and scratches.
The Review
When the Arkon mount arrived, I opened up the simple packaging and got right to installing it on my bicycle. The pieces of the mount are held together with 2 small screws, so you will need a screwdriver for installation. Simply unscrew them, and the two parts of the mounting bracket come apart. Curled inside you will see a couple of thin pieces of foam like material. These wrap around the bar you are mounting to, to prevent the bracket from slipping around after it's installed. Position the two halves of the bracket over the foam pieces, and screw them together, ensuring that everything lines up correctly. From start to finish, this is only a 5 minute installation process at most. Fast and easy installation means we're off to a good start with this accessory!
The zipper case slides on to the bracket and snaps into place. There is a small golden screw that you can use after it's snapped in to secure the case to the bracket, ensuring that it won't accidentally come off. This is both a pro and a con, depending on how you plan to use the case. If you'll be frequently removing the case from the bracket, messing with the screw will be time consuming. However, if you plan to put the case on the bracket and leave it, or if you take a lot of long rides (I'm thinking days at a time) then the screw will give you some added peace of mind. Personally I think that the case snaps onto the bracket pretty securely, and don't find that I need the screw. It's nice to have the option though, especially if I continue to use the case in the future. I imagine repeatedly snapping it into place and removing it may cause the slots to wear and therefore become loose, in which case the screw will become necessary.
The case is well made and designed to fit a variety of devices, even if you have a case on the device itself. I tested out my BlackBerry Bold 9900 as well as my iPhone 4, and both fit well. The case comes with 2 foam inserts, so if your device is thin it will still sit inside snugly, allowing you to use the touchscreen or buttons through the plastic cover. The plastic is thick enough to be durable, yet I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to accurately use the touchscreens on both devices I tested. The plastic is flexible enough that I could even type on the QWERTY keyboard of my Bold with no issues at all. The only complaint I have about the plastic, and it's a minor complaint, is that there is some glare in bright sunlight, but that's to be expected.
The case is advertised as water resistant, which is not to be confused with water proof. Extra stitching and durable materials make the case very sturdy and the zipper is designed to keep water out. This is great for situations where you may be caught in the rain or snow, but I wouldn't advise submerging it in water with your device inside. One last neat feature I thought was a nice touch (and another reason the case is not waterproof) is at the bottom of the case where you will find a cut-out for your headphones or even a charger, though that seems less practical given the nature of the case and where you'll likely be using it. Still, nice to have the option.
The Arkon Handlebar Mount with Water Resistant Holder is a nice accessory to have if you frequently ride a bike, motorcycle, golf cart, wheelchair or anything else that you can mount it on. Obviously, it's not something that everyone will find a use for, but for those that do, I think it will quickly become indispensible. Available for under $20 in the CrackBerry store, it's a great solution that won't break the bank.
Please remember, while operating any vehicle -- be it bicycle, motorcycle, or golf cart -- distractions can be deadly. Pull over and stop to take/make that call. Use playlists for music so you're not trying to change songs on the go, and if you must use earphones (which we don't recommend) use only one earbud and keep the volume low so you can hear what's going on around you. Safety first folks.
Arkon Handlebar Mount with Water Resistant Holder |
|
  If you frequently ride a bike, motorcycle, golf cart, wheelchair or anything else that you can mount this accessory on, you'll be able to have your device handy for all kinds of uses. Water resistance is a bonus for those times you get caught in the rain. |
 The case part of the Arkon Handlebar Mount isn't fully waterproof, and not really practical for use without the mount. |

mikeplus1 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:10 pm
This would be sick on my Trek man and I need a good excuse to get that baby out and do some riding to get in shape for the summer!
The_Adventist Feb 28, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Use this so I don't get lost riding. cool. Please.
rage420#cb Feb 28, 2012 at 4:14 pm

dcwbearsaint Feb 28, 2012 at 4:16 pm

RoseBud68 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:17 pm

johnosso Feb 28, 2012 at 4:19 pm
..so i could use my bb as a navigator on my bike, nice!
bhgreene Feb 28, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Looks like it would be a great addition for my bicycle, my torch and my endomondo!
Mallet21 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Would love to have this...GPS and music/radio all in 1/
n8dawgz Feb 28, 2012 at 4:24 pm
I will be using my bicycle slot this summer and this would be very handy!
hockey#CB Feb 28, 2012 at 4:26 pm
like to ride bike in summer and having bb play music while having it mounted on handle bars would make it safer for biking and more incentive to ride more. thanks
edyb Feb 28, 2012 at 4:28 pm
i like to bike to work and this would be really awesome with my Torch 9810 mounted onto my bike... I can track myself on GPS, be able to pick up a call or message, and listen to music. I can even film my bike ride using the camera on the phone and show off to all my friends. Awesome!
Prad2307 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:26 pm
That is AMAZING! I want 1 :)
AFriske Feb 28, 2012 at 4:26 pm
I could use this for sure.
beachamigo Feb 28, 2012 at 4:29 pm

alenex Feb 28, 2012 at 4:30 pm
I hope to win. It would be a great addition for my bicycle.

Perfect for the upcoming season!
Puddin13 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:40 pm
I would love to win this great Arkon Handlebar Mount w/water resistant holder... It would be sweet to be able to keep my Torch 9800 handy, safe and dry on the handlebar of my bicycle for rides around town and on our beautiful trails along the river!
Houshinto Feb 28, 2012 at 4:44 pm
This would be a godsend for me. I'm a commuter that uses a mix of public transit and bike almost everyday and some tunes without worrying about my phone sliding out of my pocket or my hands will allow me to keep my eyes on the road.
Pick me and help me further avoid getting run down by cars!
Roj Feb 28, 2012 at 4:47 pm
I often like to go for long rides on my ageing motorcycle, a 1979 Suzuki GS850, and get lost in the beautiful English countryside of the Cotswolds. With a weak signal my sat nav built into the phone which is stuffed into my jacket will often pack up. Silence from my earphones. So I have to stop, remove my gloves and retrieve my phone so I can reset it. How much easier if I could simply look down and stay on the move! No need for uncomfortable 'phones' either. Brilliant, yes please.
amosque57 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:49 pm
would love this for my bike my phone keeps flying out of my pocket every time im riding and this would be a great and cool way to protect my phone
elephantpizza Feb 28, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Wow didn't know something like this existed at all! Would be so convenient during spring to fall when I bike around everywhere :)
richs#CB Feb 28, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Looks pretty nice.
windblackberry Feb 28, 2012 at 4:50 pm

TGaT Feb 28, 2012 at 4:50 pm

NFLPLAYBOOK Feb 28, 2012 at 4:52 pm
I want to install it on my Harley to use as GPS unit. My thumb will get a workout when I hit the starter switch.
bill15 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:52 pm
pick me if you would
djtaube Feb 28, 2012 at 4:55 pm
I go riding on a mountain bike and have rigged up something with a car holder and zip-ties that really could be replaced by this. If I do not win I will continue to risk my 9850!!!
vodomustng2000 Feb 28, 2012 at 4:58 pm
I like it!
srandazzo01 Feb 28, 2012 at 5:01 pm

rickster21 Feb 28, 2012 at 5:17 pm
These are awesome! I have one on my commuter motorcycle and it works great.
I'd love to have another for my other motorcycle, though :D
danp2000 Feb 28, 2012 at 5:26 pm

jonvoights_toe Feb 28, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Sweet! I would use this as I bike commute to work everyday.
Dave.Stevenson Feb 28, 2012 at 5:58 pm
It would be great to mount a BB running a GPS program during a long ride, or sometimes I just want to have a clock on my bars.
sweetsins Feb 28, 2012 at 5:59 pm
i would use this on my bike .....would help me get motived to ride more as my doctor as told me to get more exercise...i could listen to my songs with it
mel_quiroa Feb 28, 2012 at 6:06 pm

Well, i would like two (one for my playbook as well) but will be satisfied with one!
masterfurda Feb 28, 2012 at 6:21 pm
I would use this so much on my ride around Pittsburgh!
begley1 Feb 28, 2012 at 6:22 pm
I would love to win one
dupa87 Feb 28, 2012 at 6:33 pm
I bought a mountain bike during an end of season sale. This would let me comfortably go biking through the hills near my home with my Adidas miCoach tracking my way and allowing me to have some tunes going at the same time.
cmdr_dan Feb 28, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Excellent review, Michelle! I would enjoy having one of these to use my 9930 with my bicycle.
dustanh Feb 28, 2012 at 6:54 pm
I could use this on my mountain bike up in the mountains.... you never know when it is gonna rain.
davidwipf Feb 28, 2012 at 6:58 pm
I'd install it on my RTV1100 Kubota. Love the 9900

ricecube Feb 28, 2012 at 7:26 pm
it would be a nice accessory for my new bike
Thunderbuck Feb 28, 2012 at 7:42 pm

kongee28 Feb 28, 2012 at 7:47 pm
another reason for my to cycle around the town everyday.. never worry again to drop the phone!
dzegers Feb 28, 2012 at 7:47 pm
I bike to work all summer so this would be great.
Bilaal Feb 28, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Another reason why my BlackBerry would look so cool! And the fact that I'd be making myself look more appealing adds on to the hype! :)
rems Feb 28, 2012 at 7:59 pm
Moved to a new neighbourhood and this will be very helpful to mount on my bike since I'm terrible with directions and my 9900's GPS will show me the way
madman0141 Feb 28, 2012 at 8:09 pm
I have been waiting for this now I can mount it on my Schwinn 2011 World Market Bicycle. It's red and this case will set it off!!

Probably not too healthy, but I would love to have one to use on my atv. Thanks
JustPlainJef Feb 28, 2012 at 8:45 pm
I would like to use this to be better able to track my fitness goals and to continue riding my bike this year.
JaMar-Shall Feb 28, 2012 at 8:46 pm
Would be great for navigation AND music while I'm shooting across town!!
dewey32399 Feb 28, 2012 at 8:47 pm

DeeLishusOne Feb 28, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Okay, now that's what I'm talking about. I would love this!!
meommm53 Feb 28, 2012 at 8:51 pm
Use Endomondo on my bike all the time - this would be perfect.
simonco Feb 28, 2012 at 8:52 pm
This would come in handy when using Endomondo and downhill mountain biking!
SixYearBlackberryUser Feb 28, 2012 at 8:56 pm
NOW THIS IS SWEEEEEET! I totally want this!!!! I would mount it on my beach cruiser and listen to music on my torch while getting exercise!! I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEEEEAAASSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :)

This would terrifically useful. It'd also have spared my breaking my old Curve a few years back.
evilson Feb 28, 2012 at 9:09 pm
I would use it on the rail track with my bike listing to some tunes to help me go faster lol with this i could leave my other music player at home my BlackBerry and music player is a bit much some times
17.michal Feb 28, 2012 at 9:22 pm
that is awesome...use it to get navigation with traffic!!!
msf.66 Feb 28, 2012 at 9:22 pm
Combining this accessory with apps like Endomondo would motivate me to do some serious biking!
johnbrun Feb 28, 2012 at 9:24 pm
My BlackBerry Storm 2 makes a great GPS when bicycling, but more so when protected in a waterproof case. Please enter me interest contest. Thank you.
Tshanda Feb 28, 2012 at 9:28 pm
Me wants!!! Me starts cycling if wins!
JhonGerald Feb 28, 2012 at 9:35 pm

Looks nice on my bike..
LoganSix Feb 28, 2012 at 9:42 pm
That would look great on my bike with my 9930.
Magex47 Feb 28, 2012 at 9:55 pm
I steer my bike with one hand and use my 9700 with the other. That cannot be safe at all. Haha. Good luck to everyone.
therapyreject174 Feb 28, 2012 at 9:56 pm

dgjackson40 Feb 28, 2012 at 10:50 pm
It's going on my Goldwing!
ccdawg Feb 28, 2012 at 10:53 pm
Oh yea
Boo Boo Boy Feb 28, 2012 at 10:57 pm
This would introduce my bold to my bike. Maybe it will even pedal for me.
Blas Benoit Feb 28, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Well I definetly will use it for my bike I always go to the montains on it...and I will love if I got the prize..!!!!

CigarDad Feb 28, 2012 at 11:46 pm
Perfect for the golf cart handle
dkjicsow Feb 28, 2012 at 11:49 pm
its really useful for me, i wish i could win this
Textor Feb 28, 2012 at 11:55 pm
I've been looking for a practical way to utilize my Bold 9930 on my Trek f6. This will work nicely, thanks.
youknwwho Feb 28, 2012 at 11:59 pm
OMG, I was trying to make one for my bike. Pick me, pick me
wiggy1 Feb 29, 2012 at 12:05 am
These cases are great, they just sit too high above the handlebars. I made something similar using a RamMount quick release mount. Had to insert a metal backing plate though to make it more rigid. Works well though.
big bb Feb 29, 2012 at 12:22 am
this would be great since i started a new job, and i am going to bike to work when the snow is gone
BoldWorld Feb 29, 2012 at 12:37 am
Wow great product. Would of been great on my bike but it was stolen maybe if I win ill get a new bike.
sprileszky Feb 29, 2012 at 12:43 am
Maybe not the most avid bike rider, but this may be a motivator.
century0 Feb 29, 2012 at 1:06 am
I'd love to have a place to put my phone on my mountain bike when I start hitting the trails again!
Kerzhan Feb 29, 2012 at 1:54 am
This is the way to accessorize my motorcycle... sign me up! :)
Ekilla Feb 29, 2012 at 1:56 am
id love to win this product! this would help me with my fitness goal because i bike to work everyday 10+ miles... thanks crackberry, i love you!
sliver007 Feb 29, 2012 at 2:02 am
I would love one to use my phone actively for GPS tracking while riding the bike instead of having it in my bag and looking at the track only at the end of the ride
chatkiller Feb 29, 2012 at 2:46 am
I'd love to use one. Would make it so much easier for GPS. And e-mails.
Atakan Feb 29, 2012 at 2:48 am
I don't have multiple accounts. And I want to win this.
kuru_s Feb 29, 2012 at 3:37 am
That and the basket would be an amazying prize, would be the talk of the town riding around with that basket. The holder will help me track my rides, would get a better gsp signal in there than iN my pocket and on top of that be safer.
LolaPagoda Feb 29, 2012 at 4:09 am
I would love one for my mtorbike. I would use it as a GPS :) Awesome product!
con4n007 Feb 29, 2012 at 4:14 am
On my bike!
plokij10 Feb 29, 2012 at 4:29 am
Liking it! wonder just how waterproof it is since we get lots of rain on campus
custerluca Feb 29, 2012 at 4:30 am
this is very very good for me and for my moto!!
hibackhand Feb 29, 2012 at 4:33 am
My wife and I cycle commute and go on cycle-touring trips and a handlebar mount would be very convenient for GPS, phone and music operation.
PiotrJot Feb 29, 2012 at 4:54 am
I would make it a set of three: a bike, a 9900 and arkon mount :)
alexslusho Feb 29, 2012 at 5:09 am
wow cool, i need it for my bold
market58 Feb 29, 2012 at 5:30 am
It would go on bicycle.....when I ride 20 miles to market for chicken for Mama. I get healthy better and case would let Mama call and me pickup extra chicken if she call me. Want case so badly make Mama happy.
belfastdispatcher Feb 29, 2012 at 5:34 am
Looks cool!
miloszz Feb 29, 2012 at 6:05 am
Wow, it looks nice! I could use Edomondo or other activity tracking software while baking! It's always a problem: where should I put my BB?
nitinparmar44 Feb 29, 2012 at 6:42 am
I have become MAJORLY into my fitness and cycle to and from work everyday now (around 5 miles each way)

kenlamontagne Feb 29, 2012 at 7:26 am
My 2 young sons are just getting into bicycling, and it would be good to have this so I can call for help if theres an accident.
Gnome Feb 29, 2012 at 7:30 am
This would be great on my mountain bike with my 9900 and the Adidas miCoach app. I am in training for a 450 mile charity ride so this would be perfect.
wolfmke Feb 29, 2012 at 7:31 am
I'd love to win this accessory as I am an avid biker and bb person.
mig 007 Feb 29, 2012 at 7:31 am
This would be very handy when going out on bike rides ;)
chowhoundb Feb 29, 2012 at 7:41 am
I would love to try this one out
TooManyClowns Feb 29, 2012 at 7:51 am
Cool
RUFFSTUFF1 Feb 29, 2012 at 7:58 am
I'm a rider, and I use SportyPal for GPS data logging and Pandora for some good background tunes. Put this on my handlebars and roll out!
Stormvie2 Feb 29, 2012 at 7:58 am
This would be awesome to test out on my mt bike.
ravageur1972 Feb 29, 2012 at 8:03 am
like it's usefull ;)
protofa Feb 29, 2012 at 8:26 am
this device looks neat
edwinsberry Feb 29, 2012 at 8:28 am
I use Pandora on my BB when riding and it works great but I had to build a makeshift carrier. I looked for something like this and couldn't find a suitable one so I am going to look to get one.
jborfeo Feb 29, 2012 at 8:44 am
This would go on my mountain bike for sure! Awesome contest. Thanks CB!
benstinks Feb 29, 2012 at 8:52 am
I would definitely use this in the gym to catch up on TV shows, watching on my BB. I make a rule that I can only watch certain shows when I work out to stay motivated to go, but my phone has fallen off of the stationary a few too many times.
blindguy Feb 29, 2012 at 9:04 am
This looks great. Thanks for the contest.
shekharjha Feb 29, 2012 at 9:07 am
This would be awesome on my bike as I bike a a lot and get many calls, so I have to move my BB in and out of my pocket many times. This is would make it a lot easier.
Neely2005 Feb 29, 2012 at 9:22 am
This would be great for me to use while Mountain Biking!
cinder0008 Feb 29, 2012 at 9:24 am
I would put it on my bike here in a couple months when I start riding to work. Not only for exercise, but also because of gas prices!!
jbeek Feb 29, 2012 at 10:00 am
Pick me please!
scuebydue Feb 29, 2012 at 10:14 am
Like to win to keep my Torch nice and dry.
Yandar Feb 29, 2012 at 10:16 am
Thats a nice case my home made one needs replacing with one of these.
canadaduck22 Feb 29, 2012 at 10:26 am
Sign me up for that its still snowing here so that would be a crucial workout accessory.
dzorbas Feb 29, 2012 at 10:35 am
Could use this on my mountain bike and/or my motorcycle! Definitely cool!
Omahahaha Feb 29, 2012 at 10:35 am
Would be great on my bicycle or my scooter!
balenax Feb 29, 2012 at 11:01 am
nice thingie for my bb. thanks in advance :)
BlackberryIsAwesome Feb 29, 2012 at 11:13 am
This is really cool! Would love to win so I can use it on my bike while I try to reach my goal of losing 15 pounds by June 1!
chr1sg Feb 29, 2012 at 11:51 am
I'll would use it on my bike.
voltaire Feb 29, 2012 at 1:09 pm
would love it
nlsk8ta Feb 29, 2012 at 1:38 pm
I would absolutely love to own this thing for my Trek and 9900. I'll probably go out and buy one anyway because I want one now, but would be lovely to win one from Crackberry!
does321 Feb 29, 2012 at 3:07 pm
I want one...
Sturta Feb 29, 2012 at 3:14 pm
I've recently started going to the gym again recently, and am looking forward to getting on my bike as the warmer weather approaches. This would be fantastic!
ivande Feb 29, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Great gift for riders
BRC Feb 29, 2012 at 10:10 pm
I would love to try this mount/case out and even post feedback. I would be trying it on a bicycle and a couple of motorcycles.
Why should I win it, first I'm not one to seek attention or anything, but I have had a few strokes and a heart attack at the young age of 39. I am having heart surgery within a week and will need to recover with cardio activities. What better and encouraging way to get exercise by adding the excitement of a new tech toy and the ability to time/count distance etc to track my progress on the road to recovery(no pun intended).
Thank you for your consideration!
Brian
sandra023 Feb 29, 2012 at 11:00 pm
This would be bomb diggity on the center of my handle bars. Do some BBM'in/Txtin at a red light, have music poppin in the background, I can see it now. An overall great idea. Good job!!!
nobodyhears Mar 1, 2012 at 12:40 am
Hi,
I'd love to win this carrier!
I use a gps tracking device to track distance and speed when taking the kids on a bike ride. Would be simply fantastic to be able to use a map program to help guide us through new area to explore and also to help get us home as quick as possible, and having the ability to mount the blackberry on the handlebars of the bike would make it all possible.
Thanks,
Dave
louisa992929 Mar 1, 2012 at 6:49 am
can't wait to get this on my bike :)
saint613 Mar 1, 2012 at 7:26 am
Exactly what we need in Toronto!! Cyclists darting in and out of traffic while BBMing. Then when the get by a car they can blame the case maker and the driver of the car for their own stupidity.
saint613 Mar 1, 2012 at 7:31 am

linkkoriri Mar 1, 2012 at 8:58 am
I would love to get one of these!
My friends and I are going to be continuing out fitness month habit right into summer and start riding our bicycles threw the trails around our town. Be really awesome to have this for music and gps.
mandoman28 Mar 1, 2012 at 11:28 am
I love to bike ride, this would be great!
parked Mar 1, 2012 at 1:24 pm
My Cannondale would love this.
Bold9930trooper Mar 1, 2012 at 8:17 pm
Would like to win this for my mountain bike. Big Bear here I come. Well when the snow melts.
bana1124 Mar 1, 2012 at 10:51 pm
Pretty cool. I would mount it on my bike handle bars. I love riding bike and it would be perfect.
emmaleewalpole Mar 2, 2012 at 6:15 pm
love it, think it would work for stroller?
Dr. VanNostren Mar 2, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I'd clip that baby on my handlebars when in mtn biking. Nice to keep your phone on you for pics and emergencies. Hate risking the abuse keeping it in my pocket not to mention its uncomfortable. Thanks guys!
togardergrosse Mar 3, 2012 at 10:15 am
Might forced me to use my bike if I won. :D
Pyxzure Mar 3, 2012 at 11:07 am
I'm in!
Lakers0884 Mar 3, 2012 at 4:58 pm
been biking to work for the last 2 weeks, would love to add this to my bike!!
Canada Panda Mar 3, 2012 at 5:49 pm
This would be awesome to use with Endomondo
sam81 Mar 3, 2012 at 7:01 pm
This would come in handy on the bike trails for sure
umbrau44 Mar 3, 2012 at 11:41 pm
I would put it on my bike for sure!
cpldaigle Mar 4, 2012 at 1:33 pm
This is a sweet rig for the summer.
ajseymour Mar 4, 2012 at 1:58 pm
As it would mean I wouldn't have to worry about mud wrecking my 9900 when I am out on the trails.
tovivekmishra Mar 4, 2012 at 2:38 pm
i want this..pl count me in..
thp007 Mar 4, 2012 at 3:39 pm
This would be great for the summer.
dakid72 Mar 4, 2012 at 3:44 pm
This would be fine for me on my bike, since phone digs into my hip.
Thanks in advance Crackberry and Arkon!
medisun Mar 4, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Did not even know something like this existed!! I have dropped my phone while riding my bike ONE TOO MANY TIMES. seriously though, it is so hard to dig the phone out of your pocket while still moving and get it in time before the call goes to voicemail. AND if you hit a bump, it basically is guaranteed to fall out of your pocket as you zoom ahead. BUT YES WOULD LOVE TO WIN, thanks as usual crackberry!
jieann Mar 4, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Count me in please. It would be a very great gift for my bestfriend for his 9700 and bicycle. Thanks.
ixecloud41 Mar 4, 2012 at 9:21 pm
This would be great on a bike!!!!!
wocampb Mar 4, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Would love to have this for my daily mountain bike rides. Pick me please!
Applevine Mar 4, 2012 at 10:14 pm
I would love this device. I use the adidas micoach app when I am riding with my torch 9800 and this would be a great improvement on the plastic bag I have to currently use.
Tiberious Mar 4, 2012 at 10:30 pm
This would be awesome on the bike
Hope to win!!
koilmaker Mar 4, 2012 at 10:38 pm
Thanks Crack Berry!!!
I love to ride!
stdi Mar 4, 2012 at 11:02 pm
Got a nice street bike last year for my birthday. I participate in the Subaru Triathlon races here in Ontario. And BlackBerry is even a sponsor.
This looks like a must-have as soon as my training starts in a few weeks.
litig8or98 Mar 4, 2012 at 11:24 pm
It would fit on my steering wheel, right?
fyreball Mar 5, 2012 at 2:56 am
This could come in handy...tho not sure where I would mount it at the moment. Maybe I'll know after I win? ;)
Good luck everyone! :)
kpbutton Mar 5, 2012 at 4:40 am
This would be great to win.
DrFrancky Mar 5, 2012 at 6:18 am
I'll put it on my motorcycle - m109r :

bassmig Mar 5, 2012 at 6:19 am
This would make biking that much better. Great giveaway!
hotshotken#cb Mar 5, 2012 at 1:14 pm
i would put this on my golf cart!
Cracklen Mar 7, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Thanks for the opportunity, would be excellent to also mount on the exercise bike. Albeit the case likely not usable for a (64gb)PB but the mounting bracket could be the base for a custom platform :)
Xin9900 Mar 8, 2012 at 6:34 am
mee
Mista14 Mar 8, 2012 at 7:58 am
I would use this device between the handles of my bike. This device would suffice my goal of maintaining a slim body as well as protect my blackberry phone
MoPiou Mar 10, 2012 at 2:26 pm
playbook user and torch 9800. asian boy living in Paris, France.
Il ll use it on m'y bike tout gps location.
