I think one of the SAFEST way to go BIKING around with your gadget with you is by using a Bluetooth Headset. I am just not sure if that's what Tom Cruise (MI-2) used (while on bike) conversing with the black guy on the chopper

I use my phone while riding (via the headset). I stop to dial of course
but not to answer just press the mike button and talk.
I ride my bike in all sorts of weather and believe me if it looks like rain I take it off my belt and put in my pocket or backpack. I've never ever been caught in a rain shower that I wasn't expecting, although if I lived in monsoonal areas that would be harder to judge.
Touch wood, but I've never dropped the phone itself yet. Once I was pulling my phone out of my pocket (so only had one hand on the handle bar) and was going downhill at about 40 Kmh. I hit a bump and got out of shape and was having difficulty holding it straight with one hand. I tried to pull my hand out of my pocket and it got stuck. The front wheel turned 90 degrees and I went arse over wheels. I actually did a full somersault, bike and all, but didn't land right and still had my hand stuck. I took a big a fall. Was on grass but so it wasn't too bad. So I learnt my lesson, but still wish to have my phone visible while riding without having to stop or do incredible stupid things like get my hand stuck in my pocket, while going downhill.
The reason I want the phone visible is so I can check time and to check if peeps have called or messaged me.
Oh yeah, I've only stacked my bike that one time in many years, so I'll take the chance
I don't include jumps in that - I have stacked it off jumps a bit. but as I said I won't be doing any planned acrobatics with the phone on the handlebars - that would be too much jarring and to much chance of smashing it into tiny little pieces, as Dan says

I've doped my K750 and K700, before that(I'll never learn) whilst riding my bike. Trying to get it out of my pocket to see who is calling, before I ansrew it. So one of these things would be a great idea. No more dopping of the phone
Also as someone else said can use the camera light as a headlamp:)
