I am a motorcyclist also and the best clip or holster for a biker for his/her iPhone I think is your motorcycle jacket pocket. you don't want to trust the weak clips and holsters and look down when you get off of your bike after doing about 60 to 85 mph to find your iPhone just blew off of your hip. that is a sickening feeling. Motorcycle jacket pockets have nice inside pockets that zip up and the iPhone is so thin that you don't even know it is there. I have two Suzuki ZX1300R's and they are two of the fastest production bikes on the planet hands down. So I really have to secure my phones. when I get off of the bike and take off my riding jacket I just take them out of the pocket and put the phones in my belt holster or clip. just my 2 cents as a fellow bike rider..
