    IPod Case for bike

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Does anyone know of a good way to attach an IPod to bike. I have an armband but do not want to wear it now that summer is here (creates unsightly tan lines ). Is there a way to attach it to the handlebars so that I can get to it when I need it. Fishing around for my IPod in my back pocket is not working well. I checked the Apple accessories page but did not find anything that would attach to the bike.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've been looking for something similar. I found some things on ebay, but not sure they'd work for me. I'm in a similar quandry (you do mean the phone- right? at least that's what I'm looking for).
    If you find something, please post.

    Just my humble opinion, but I think it's potentially dangerous to have something attached to you and attached to the bike. Odds are pretty high that you'll forget to remove it when you get off the bike, or worse, if you fall or something, it could be very painful to have them ripped from your ears or helmet. I know people clip a shuffle to their jersey pocket or sleeve hem.

    I have a helmet light that I would love to attach the batteries to my bike, but I just know that I'll forget and it will just be a mess if I get off the bike.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    I attached my Garmin case by zip-tying it to the handlebar stem. Maybe you can do something similar with your ipod case?

    I rip my earbud out of my ear constantly as I ride (and that's with the shuffle clipped to my sleeve). It's soft and doesn't cause any pain or anything except an annoyance that I again pulled the thing out and have to get it back in my ear as I ride.

    Look what I found in my June issue of Bicycling

    I wonder if it really works. Has anyone tried it?

    Check out www.marware.com. They have cases that attach to handlebars.

    You have to get the clip system, but it works well. I use this when I ride the trainer.

    Do ipods and bikes really mix? (Except on a trainer?)

    FBG..we know....

    I hope this thread will not be turned into another mud slinging match...there are tons of threads asking this question & many responses. We don't need 6 more pages about why it's bad. We know & just leave it.

    Playing music as you flash by has got to be safer than having your headphones in, right?

    I like the look of this one - I *think* should fit on the bike like a standard bottle cage (but haven't seen it except in pics)

    My husband made a holder for his Treo and his air horn. He has made them to fit his iPhone. It's very lightweight and secures with zip ties onto the frame.
