I was originally looking for a GPS mount, but my phone has it built in. Plus I can use it as a clock, trip meter, etc. so I would like to mount my phone.

LG doesn't seem to offer much. I am looking online. There are thousands to choose from. I guess I am hoping someone here has some experience with a certain brand and can make a suggestion. I will probably have to drop the "cheap" part of my specifications though.

My suggestion, after my iphone found its way to the pavement, is to get a case that comes with a cradle and mount, I have found several on ebay that are in the $20-$30 range which to me seems reasonable when you look at the cost of replacing your phone.

Something like this

I use a zipper'd soft case with a clear window. Velcro'd to the speedo glass (I use a different speedo anyway) on one bike and velcro'd to something I cobbled together that mounts to the handle bar on the other bike. Both have "emergency" cords tied to the handlebars in case the velcro cuts loose (hasn't happened yet).
I only use my phone for music and emergency calls from CFO (bluetooth in helmet), so I don't need to look at it much.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

That is the exact same one I just found after wading through tons of search results! It looks decent and is cheap. You are using them without issue. I guess I will be ordering one. Thanks a bunch!
