Not sure I want to hang my expensive Iphone out on the trust of an adhesive but this looks like an interesting concept to be sure ... but for $89 it is mighty tempting.

Wow that is an awesome case.  I would hope there is a way to deaden vibrations by the mounting style.  Previous times I've tried iPhone video on my RAM handlebar mount, the video gets very blurry at mid-to-high revs.

On the website they say that is what the app they have designed fixes. It locks the camera from searching for focus and so greatly eliminates the blurring/vibration breakup. They also have a new mount coming out with vibration isolation layers ... so they say.

Wow - I have never heard of that sort of app before.  The video on the iPhone 4S is actually very high quality.  

With the weather-resistance and touch-screen abilities while encased, this is the best iPhone case I've seen.  However I don't like the mounting method used - with my GoPro, the plastic mounts were the first thing to break.

I saw on the news this morning of a company that shot an entire movie using this app, attached a 30mm lens to the iphone and now will run the movie for a few weeks so it can get oscar consideration.
