Review: I do not make a habit of writing reviews, but felt there are some points that should be made.
This review is for an Iphone 4 with the Aero Bar mount
1. The case.
It is surprisingly big, but when you look at what goes into it, it makes sense.
The Phone is cradled in a silicone sleeve and I found I needed to pay special attention to the on/off button area. You do need to ensure it is fully pushed out before you insert the phone, if you don’t it is possible to turn the phone off if you go over a bump.
Take your time when placing and replacing the cover-it’s a bit fiddly but very secure. Ensure you unclip all sides and lift off squarely. Both my wife and I made the same mistake of tilting the face back on itself without realising there was a small clip at the bottom of the case.
It is possible to charge the phone whilst in the case - there is a micro USB port that is used for the spare battery. It is the same lead that is used on my WD passport harddrive.
You get this lead when you buy the extended battery.
2 The screen -
Is made of a relatively soft plastic, and if you are new to Iphone (as I am) and become accustomed to the glass face you will scratch the face if you are not careful - I did on the first day however I was wearing fingerless gloves when I did.
The sensitivity of the screen is greatly reduced when it is in the case -as you would expect, and you do have to push quite hard to activate the various controls. Don't expect the same responsiveness that you may be used to. Just do things slowly and don’t try anything too complicated whilst you are riding.
The Aero bar mount holds case quite flat and glare can be a problem. Also be careful with sweat as I experienced reduced sensitivity when it got damp. The mounting plate is excellent. it might appear quite a tight fit when you play with it on arrival, but when you add the weight of the phone, it slips on quite nicely.
My wife has bolt on Aero bars which are quite short and the mount only just fits. It might be useful if Wahoo took the opportunity to introduce some ability to offset the latch or additional slots in their cases if they have cause to re-model their moulds.
Also note that there is the ability to set the position of case more forward or aft by the orientation of the plate.
All in all we both really like the unit, and, having played with several Apps, we both prefer the Wahoo one.

Review: Nice work on designing this all-in-one unit. At first it was a little hard to get my iPhone in and out of it, mainly due to the fact I had front & back screen protectors fitted to the iPhone, which made the snap-fit tabs quite hard to close. This though demonstrates how secure the phone is when it is placed into the case, allowing for no movement and providing the iPhone with good protection from the elements as well as a degree of shock-proofing. overall I have yet to have any problems with the case or the sensors.

Review: just been out on my first ride with the wahoo bike pack and heart rate monitor
I use this linked to mapmyride app.
really pleased with the kit gives me all the info I need while the battery lasts
I am using it with an iphones 3gs and the battery lasted about 3 hrs, half an hour from the end of my ride
I had the bluetooth and wifi off and no other apps running in the background
I can't really say this is totally the fault of the sensors or the app or the phone but I will have to buy an additional battery for longer rides
