I found out the hard way this week that iPhones are not supposed to go on motorcycle handlebars. Apple says vibrations from motorcycle engines "might impact the camera." That impact turns out to be utterly destroying the camera's focus mechanism, meaning it can't focus at all, auto or manually. I was quoted $500 to $600 to repair the thing, so I just bought another used one off ebay for $350.
Obviously, I don't wanna do that again. Has anyone found a way to mount the phone that dampens the vibrations enough to not break the camera? I really rely on it for GPS, and I really don't like the idea of having a secondary device just for navigation. I'm considering a bluetooth headset for my helmet so I can just listen to directions, but that still means a whole 'nother thing to charge and worry about - plus my current cheapo helmet can't take one, so it'd have to wait til I upgrade that.
So yeah, anyone got a good solution?
