Sat nav case question

Has anyone bought a waterproof case and clip for your car sat nav to fit to the bar by the screen on the tenere? I've seen some on ebay/amazon but they are geared more for bicycles and I don't really want it falling off at motorway speeds etc.

Givi do one, often seen on ebay. I've got one but use it for storing odds and sods that I need easy access too rather than my sat nav which is ram mounted to the bar above the clocks. PS I got my givi satnav bag cheaper at local stealers than the ones listed on ebay and that was without a discount...
so shop around.

Funny that... i bought one tonight on my way home, its pretty good but the handle bar clamp is to suit normal size handle bar so to fit that little bar above the speedo i'm gunna have to chock it out with a block of wood (filed down).

I would like to test the water proofness of it with a bundled up cloth before sticking my new HTC HD2 in it.... but it does look pretty water proof (not a dunk in a river though as the cabble hole would let water in. Being behind the screen would be great for keeping it from being rain blastered for hrs of riding therefore i think it'll do the job well.

I will be getting some of the plucking foam that ya use in the pelican cases to fill the case and locate the phone to where i want it.

I'd be interested to know how you get on. It may be better to fill the gap with a rubber/pencil eraser as you'll get a bit of purchase and it may reduce the vibes a little.

I'll pop down to a store and have a look. It doesn't say what it's got, if anything, to allow for attaching to something.

you got the below one? And it has velcro on the back of it (it doesn't detail that on the hg website) that securely fastens it? Apologies for all the questions, just want to be sure before I order it.

Hello,

I was just about to make the same question.
I have a HTC Desire and wish to use it's features on the Ten (without having to stop all the time to check for directions).
I was checking the Touratech options, but it's simple too expensive IMO.

The Givi one looks good, but do you know if it fits on the Ten front bar?

Best Regards.
