Put your phone on your bike with award-winning RideCase and DryBag by Topeak

For 2013 Topeak is offering more sizes of handlebar-mounted mobile cases to their award-winning RideCase and DryBag line. For cyclists, that means you can now keep  your iPhone, Android, Nexus, Samsung, Nokia, Galaxy and Blackberry front and centre when you ride. If you’ve got an iPhone 4, 4S, or 5 you can also download a free app that turns your phone into a bike computer.

Last year’s RideCase (for iPhone 4 and 4S) won a Red Dot Design Award for innovative product design. This year Topeak has added 5 new sizes: a RideCase size for iPhone 5, as well as waterproof DryBags cases for iPhone (4, 4S, 5) and smartphones (any phone from 3 to 5 inches long).

RIDECASE: tilt and rotate your iPhone on your handlebars

The RideCase for iPhone 4, 4S, and 5 combines plastic, silicon, and carbon fiber for a phone case that is sturdy on the bike, but light in the hand. The quick on/off case attaches to a mount on your bicycle’s handlebar, stem, or stem cap. Not only can you rotate your phone to a portrait or landscape orientation, but you can also tilt it up or flat. A clear window lets you interact with the phone, which is handy if you are using Topeak’s free PanoBike app to turn your phone into a trip and performance computer.

SMARTPHONE DRYBAG: keep your iPhone or smartphone waterproof on your bike

Topeak’s Drybag design has a clear window like the RideCase, but seals the entire phone in a top-loading, waterproof case that attaches to your handlebar or stem. The Drybag is available for iPhone 4, 4S, and 5, as well as Smartphone 4 (for 3 or 4-inch phones), and Smartphone 5 (for 4 and 5-inch phones) sizes. Drybags clip into a band-style mount, but you can add an adjustable RideCase mount that attaches to handlebars, handlebar stems, or the stem cap.

Other extras include Topeak’s Mobile PowerPack, a battery pack that adds up to three times more power for your device; a free bike computer PanoBike phone app (iPhone 4, 4S); the PanoBike heart rate monitor; and other PanoBike bike computer accessories.
