Do they exist?

Is there any chance I could buy one in a shop rather than online?

It's a balckberry priv in case that matters

DH uses this:
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01KJAQGZ8/?tag=mumsnetforum-21
and tells me it works reasonably well. As you may have spotted, we got it online. As to whether it's available in bike shops, I'm not sure.

If you are using it for sat nav I would seriously look into getting a garmin instead as using your phone will eat up the battery very quickly. I experimented with phone holders for a while and wasted money on various ones. Eve Italy gave in and bought a garmin 520 which was way better and meant that my phone battery was saved for emergency use if needed.

They do exist but I think you need to buy one online

That's good, how much was it?

katymac · 24/05/2017 20:54

£13 - I was so surprised to see it - it's a little small but I can cope & the screen is touch sensitive!!

Results!

Ah, see you're sorted. In case anyone else is interested, I highly recommend this: getfinn.com/en/
I had the Life Venture one before (a bit like the Ines Sandy and Sheepy linked to) but I much prefer this one. It's just as secure and you can stick it in a pocket.
There are a few people selling it online and tokyobike in London sell it in store too.

Ooo I like yours witch....if I see one I may pass mine on to DH & buy a shiney new one!!

Just realised I meant Life Proof rather than Life Venture, but anyway the Finn one is the best!
