Is your phone only held on with velcro then Aren't you scared it'll rattle off?

I'd be scared the back cover would come off, leaving the phone and battery bouncing down the road, with the plastic back cover still velcro'd to the bike..
Purely velcro but it is rock solid - phone is wide enough for 3 strips. With the 7 quid protective case from the market that wraps around the phone its got no way of slipping out and i can take it out of that any time i need to look a little less DIY, and hey another 7 quid can get me a new one in sparkly pink if i change my mind on the colour scheme.

Sometimes i struggle to even yank it off :-O when i actually want the phone so its certainly not going anywhere without intentional peeling.

I did plan to wrap it in some kind of plastic but have found as its tucked nicely under the screen directly on the rev counter, the screen keeps it bone dry unless i'm not moving and the wind is blowing the rain behind the screen. Looks epic having a 4.3in screen too I can see the top of the rev counter needle just over the top when its in midrange and thats fine by me too. Not ever missed it since doing it.
